geographical environment

Baoshi mountain is located in the north of the West Lake. Together with Geling, it becomes the North screen of the West Lake. The rocks here are bright red. There are many shining red pebbles in the rocks. When the sun rises or sets, they shine like countless precious stones. Baoshi mountain gets its name because of this. This is the origin of "Baoshi Liuxia", one of the ten sceneries of the new West Lake.

Main attractions

Baoju pagoda, located in the east of Baoshi, is towering and graceful, like a graceful "beauty" standing on the top of the mountain. It was built in the early Northern Song Dynasty. It was originally a nine grade brick and wood structure, but now it is a solid style. With its beautiful appearance and prominent position, it has become an eye-catching landmark of the West Lake. Especially in the early morning, against the backdrop of clouds and rosy clouds on the sunny evening, the undulating gem peak like a phoenix flies like a beauty, and the graceful pagoda harmoniously combines into a wonderful picture. In Baoshi mountain, there are also historical sites such as Laifeng Pavilion, Shouxing stone, JINZI peak and Qinhuang cable stone. Next to it, Ge Ling is said to be the place where Ge Xianweng (Ge Hong) made alchemy and wrote books. There are still remains of gexian'an, Liudan Valley, huandan ancient well, baopulu and chuyangtai.

Today's view of Baoshi mountain from the broken bridge is somewhat different from that seen by the ancients. The mountains are covered with green trees, but in ancient times they were bare, with bare stones. Many huge stones gather at Baoshi peak, which looks like a pile of precious stones from a distance.

Because of the huge stones piled up, the ancient people intuitively called it "Jushi mountain" and "Baoshi mountain" was named at the beginning of the Wu Yue kingdom in the Five Dynasties, but it has been more than 1000 years. According to Volume 23 of Xianchun Lin'an annals of the Southern Song Dynasty, "Jushi mountain In the north, there are two stones named Luoxing and Baoshi mountain According to Luo Yin's Fengshi Ji, "you may row huge stones in layers, or you may rush to the mountains."

Baochu pagoda, also known as Yingtian pagoda, Baoshi pagoda and Baosuo pagoda, stands high on the East peak of Baoshi mountain. It was built by Wu Yanshuang, the Prime Minister of Wu Yue State in the Five Dynasties, to bless King Qian Hongfu's safe return to Beijing (Kaifeng), After the collapse, Seng Yongbao raised it and changed it to the seventh level. Because he kept the precepts, he called it Shishu, so it was called Baoshu tower. After the yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was built six times. The existing eight seven level brick tower was restored in 1933. It is more than 40 meters high, solid and can't be climbed. The new tower is more exquisite and graceful. It is known as "Leifeng is like an old man, Baoru is like a beautiful woman"

Ge Ling

Geling is located in the west of Baoshi mountain. It is more than 100 meters high. It is said that Ge Hong, a scholar of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, practiced Taoism and alchemy on the mountain. Chuyang terrace, the highest place, is said to be the place where Ge Hong alchemy was built. Ge Hong (283-363), In his childhood, his parents died and his family was poor. He used to buy paper to copy books and study hard. Ten years later, he became a knowledgeable Taoist. In his later years, he built baopulu in Baoshi mountain, and built a well on the mountain to make pills. Later generations called the mountains he lived in Geling and Gewu, and preserved Liandan mountain, Liandan well and baopulu And other sites

Baopu Taoist temple is located on the hillside of Geling mountain. It is also called baopu Lu of Gexian temple. It is said that it was the place where Gehong, a famous alchemist of Jin Dynasty, set up a furnace to practice alchemy. In the old days, together with Huanglong and Yuhuang, it was called the three major Taoist temples of West Lake. Now it is one of the 21 key Taoist temples in China, and it is the only one in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province

Baopuzi is a Taoist doctrine, that is, to keep the truth, not to be seduced by material desires, not to be troubled by the world, so-called "sidewalk Guipu". Gehong named himself baopuzi, and named his book as baopuzi. There are 70 volumes of baopuzi. From the entrance of ochre yellow dome gate at the foot of Geling mountain, to the Liudan Pavilion, to the Square Pavilion at the four corners of the mountainside, Along the way, the ancient cypresses are lush, the clear spring is singing, and there are inscriptions on the rocks, such as "blessed land on earth" and "Bu Ya Peng Ying". Then from the Dixin pool, you can get to the old site of baopu Lu. Baopu Taoist temple is surrounded by yellow walls, whose tiles are like scales and undulating like a yellow dragon, In front of the gate, the Taoist Dharma protector hangs under the beam. In the center of the hall, the statue of grandmaster Gehong is worshipped. On both sides are the statues of grandmaster Chunyang and Tianjun Zhu. Baopu Taoist temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and destroyed by the fire in the Yuan Dynasty. It has been rebuilt many times since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is now the site of Hangzhou Taoist Association.

Ge Hong was one of the most important proponents of the Dan Ding sect of Taoism. He pioneered the use of minerals in traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, Joseph Needham, a British scholar, said: "one of the most important roots of the whole chemistry came from China."
