brief introduction

It is known as xiaokunyu. It has been famous for its mountains and waters since ancient times. It is rich in natural and cultural landscape.

It is also said that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty once sent Yuchi Jingde to supervise the construction of temples here. According to the existing "yuxu Temple stele" records, King Yuyang, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen sect of Taoism in jindading (AD 1187), and his disciples practiced in Maoan. Cheng anding has (AD 1197) issued an imperial edict to grant "yuxu Temple". The next year, Wang Yuyang finished his Daoism for Zhangzong, and returned here with the Royal gift of gold, silk and Taoist Scriptures. He gathered all the good disciples to "offer wood", "offer Valley", "cut grass" and "Yijun Valley", and expanded the buildings, pavilions, bridges and pavilions. In the second year of Chongqing (1213 A.D.), it was granted "Yuzhen Temple", namely "Longevity Palace". At that time, the Yushan sect of Quanzhen religion founded by Wang Yuyang was well-known in yunei. According to ancient records, at this time of "yuxu Temple", "Cangsong YangAi, ancient cypress Panlong, Biwa scaly, Zhumen hehe, immortals strange

The spirit of heaven and earth gather together. The common people can not help but beg for good fortune and virtue. When visitors gather, the fragrant fire turns out to be night. " Yuxu temple is so spectacular, with beautiful sceneries such as "spring breeze in Hujian", "Zhuoyu rain in Yubei", "stone pillars supporting the sky" and "bamboo garden leaving green", as well as scenic spots such as Ziqi Valley, shiyanpo, mingzhongyan, Buddha peak and erguding, which made it one of the most famous Taoist holy places in the world at that time.

Yuan Haowen, a great literary scholar of the Yuan Dynasty, said in the records of the Muslim temple in huaizhou: "the Taoist temple in the world is ranked first by martial arts, second by Bindu, and second by holy water." It can be seen that "yuxu view" was famous all over the world at that time.

Taoist Holy Land

Shengshui temple is one of the birthplaces of Quanzhen sect of Taoism in northern China. Wang Yuyang, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen, once practiced Taoism here, and was the founder of Shengshui temple. It is located in the Western sunny side of Weide mountain, the longest mountain in Rongcheng. It has luxuriant trees, abundant forests and fragrant flowers. There is no severe cold in winter and no cool place in summer. It is named for the holy water in the temple.

Entering the holy water view, you will first be in the harmonious world of fish and birds: thousands of red carp are swimming in the green pool water; shy red crowned cranes are dancing in the water, noble white swans are flying with flocks of Haiou, and competitive peacocks will compete with your beauty -- competing to open the screen, pairs of mandarin ducks are flying You will deeply feel that this is the most intimate communication between us and nature when we have a love talk under the flowers and trees.

Taoism is not only the national religion of China, but also the theme of the holy water view. Through Wang Daoxian's writing of the mountain in Yuan Dynasty and Wang Yuyang's biography written by Yan Shixuan in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, especially a tablet engraved with "the story of rebuilding Yuqing Palace" excavated from the site of the temple in 1992, which was set up in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, you will have a deep understanding of the historical background of the holy water view: 1164 ad In 1167, the immortal Wang Chongyang came to preach in the East and founded Quanzhen school. He left the temple in Yanxia cave of Kunyu Mountain and worshipped Wang Chongyang as his teacher. After Daocheng, he returned to the temple during the reign of Taihe, and received a wide range of disciples to carry forward the Quanzhen religion. He died in 1217 at the age of 75. Since then, the disciples sun Daogu and others remembered the teachings of their teachers, practiced Taoism with great care, passed on the Scriptures and sent treasures. From then on, it has become a blessed place for ancient sages and sages to live in seclusion and for Taoist cultivation.

After worshipping Lao Tzu and Bixia Yuanjun, I climbed the 33 stone steps that seemed to soar to the sky and came to the "Lingxiao hall" where all the immortals gathered. I can see the holy water in all directions. Surrounded by mountains, it's a treasure land of geomantic omen. No wonder immortal Yuyang chose it as a place to practice real skills and planted this ancient ginkgo tree with luxuriant branches and spiritual Yin Yang fruits How many guests come from afar just to ask for a bottle of holy water and a piece of ginkgo leaf, in order to have its spirit and protect the health and safety of their families.

Along the footprints left by LV Dongbin, after "climbing the sun nine times with both hands", you can see the 268 meter long and 8 meter wide antique gallery with carved beams and paintings. "The stele Gallery of general Weide in Rongcheng" is engraved on the ancient stone square of Langmen. The open door stele is written by general Chi Haotian, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and Minister of national defense, with eight characters: "outstanding people and heroes come forth in large numbers". Later, there stands the stele of Rongcheng passed down by 130 generals or those who have held posts above the rank of deputy army. The corridor is zigzagged and elevated by the mountain. The blue stone steps, the black tile covers the top, and the two rows of red pillars lead the corridor, reflecting the green mountains and the blue sky. Every spring and summer, when the red azalea blooms all over the hillside, it becomes an ideal place for teachers and students to make use of tourism to carry out revolutionary education. Shengshuiguan scenic spot has been awarded "youth patriotism education base" and "national defense education base" by Shandong provincial Party committee.

Take a kilometer cableway, you can enjoy the pines and Huai trees, and go directly to the "Qizhen Temple". Being in the clouds, you are not an immortal, but more like an immortal. When you roam the mountains, if you are lucky, you can also see the Wild Sika deer group, or pick the Ganoderma lucidum herb with great medicinal value.

Shengshui Hotel, Shanzhen game has a unique style. The transportation of shengshuiguan is convenient. There are direct buses at Weihai and Rongcheng stations.

Stone lion

Kunyu Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain, from which Quanzhen school originated. At the top of the nun in the north of Kongjia village, Fengjia Town, Rushan City, there is the famous holy water palace, where Wang Yuyang, one of the seven sons of Quanzhen, practices.

In fact, when you go to the holy water palace, you can't see the tall and magnificent main hall of that year. There are only a few side halls, the natural "Yuyang cave", a few stone tablets and stone lions. But its air, its glory and its beautiful legend are deeply rooted in the hearts of the common people. Here I heard many beautiful stories.

Holy water palace has a pair of stone lions with extraordinary bearing, but one of them has no head. Here's a story about the headless stone lion.

It is said that when Yuyang was optimistic about this place, he prepared to build the holy water palace here. He set his base in Wendeng's view of peace. A total of 99 craftsmen participated in the construction, and the daily supplies were all transported by a donkey. This little donkey is very spiritual and needs no one to lead him. He starts from Taiping temple every morning, arrives at the construction site near noon and returns to Taiping temple in the evening. No matter what the weather is, no matter whether it's cloudy or rainy, the donkey always arrives on time every day, returns on time, and never makes mistakes.

The 99th day of the project is also the day of the completion of the holy water palace. Master Yuyang got his things ready, patted the donkey on the back and said: you are also a meritorious minister in the construction of holy water palace. I will reward you after this last visit. The little donkey was on his way happily. However, until dark, there was no donkey back.

The next day is not bright, Yuyang real hurry along the way to find, has been to find the holy water palace, also did not find the trace of the little donkey. When he was wondering, the real man suddenly found that one of the two stone lions guarding the gate in front of the palace had blood on the corner of his mouth. It turned out that the stone lion had not been enlightened by his master and had not changed his wild nature. When he arrived, he coveted the donkey, but because of many craftsmen, he did not dare to make mistakes. Finally, on the last day, when people were unprepared, a "lion opened his mouth".

Immortal Yuyang suddenly realized that he was very angry. He pulled out his sword from his waist and chopped it down. The stone lion was in a different place. From then on, he became a headless guard lion.

Holy water Palace

The holy water palace scenic spot in Rushan City, also known as yuxu temple, is located in the east slope valley of the nun top of Kunyu Mountain, Fengjia Town, Rushan City. It is a key cultural relic protection unit at the provincial level.

1600 years ago, Tao Yuanming, a great poet of Jin Dynasty, wrote the story of Taohuayuan, which described a secluded, peaceful and beautiful countryside, arousing people's infinite yearning. James Hilton, a British writer, wrote the lost horizon in 1933, which imitates the artistic conception of Peach Blossom Land and describes a utopia surrounded by snow mountains, dense forests and isolated from the world in Gaoyuan, Qinghai Tibet. At that time, Tibetans called it Shangri La, which means "the sun and moon in the heart", so Shangri La became a synonym for paradise, a pure land for people to yearn for. In today's deteriorating environment, where can we seek such a pure land? It is really far away from the horizon, near at present, Weihai has a similar Shangri La - Rushan holy water palace.

Take a bus from Weihai to wendengpu market town, and get off at Wanjia village in Rushan for more than 60 kilometers. Go northward along a highway beside the river, and you can see the Taowei railway winding along the rolling mountains. A small river flows out from a gap in the ridge, and the Taowei railway passes through a majestic bridge on the river. The bridge is just like a huge arch. When you enter the valley from this gate, your eyes suddenly shine. I saw the surrounding green mountains, like a majestic city wall, only this road connected with the outside world. The land is flat and open, the house is just like, there are good fields, fruit trees, small rivers, the noise is suddenly lost, the air is fresh, occasionally two or three farmers are farming in the fields, and they are happy
