Resume

The ancient buildings in Fenghuang Mountain (doulao Palace) are dedicated to doulao Yuanjun, the mother of the stars. The Big Dipper is the star. Grandma and Mu both refer to the old woman. Doulao is the mother of stars. Generally, the female statues in temples and palaces are pretty and kind. But the image of doulao is very special, not only dignified, but also strange. Her head is surrounded by faces, and each face has three eyes. One of them is born on the forehead, which is similar to Wang Lingguan or Ma Wangye. Each face of the four faces has a body and two arms, which add up to eight arms. "Eight hands" is the name. In the 10th year of the Republic of China, it was recorded in Fengcheng county annals: "doulao palace is in the middle of the mountain (Fenghuang Mountain). There is an old pine next to it. Its root comes from the crack in the stone. It is protected as if it were an appendix. It was destroyed because of danger. Every value of the new autumn, a gully clear smoke, half forest yellow leaves, sparse bell send ring, cold spring gurgle. Enjoy it in depth and enjoy it leisurely. " Bixia palace, commonly known as Niangniang Temple, is located in the south of Guanyin Pavilion on Fenghuang mountain, 60 meters northwest of Doumu palace in the dense forest, facing the cliff of Luohan peak on Fenghuang mountain. Bixia palace in Fenghuangshan was built in 1824 and was destroyed because of disrepair. Bixia palace is dedicated to Bixia Yuanjun, whose full name is Bixia Yuanjun, the goddess of heaven in Mount Tai. In the old days, the belief in Bixia Yuanjun was very popular among the people, especially in the north. I don't know when Bixia Yuanjun became the patron saint of women's childbirth. From the foot of the mountain to the path in front of Bixia palace, because the terrain is slightly steep, there are two groups of granite feldspar steps along the way, a total of more than ten steps. Along the steps on the front platform of Bixia palace, looking back, the forest around the palace is dense, and the scenery is quiet. In front of the hall, there are two cliff carvings of the Qing Dynasty: one is the four characters of "Xiao Ao Yan Xia" written by Wai Lang Fucheng, an official of Phoenix City, on April 9, 1741; the other is the four characters of "Hong Zhao Liu Chen" written by Ding Mao and Zhang qiaogengyun of Han Dynasty in 1927, and "Guang Xu Yi Chou (1889) came to visit. It has been 38 years since then Words, to record the years "and other small words. The rebuilt Bixia palace has three pillars. It is of brick and wood structure. It is built in the style of hard mountain, clear water and ridge. Now it is well preserved.)
