Development history

Guiguling was a place where guiguling, a thinker, strategist and founder of the school of political and political studies, taught and taught. Guiguling lived in no fixed place all his life and wandered around. However, his students Su Qin and Zhang Yi were influential political strategists in ancient times. Sun Bin and Pang Juan were also famous figures with high attainments in the art of war. According to historical records, during the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a Guiguzi temple built here for the statue of Guiguzi. Up to now, the area of guiguling ancient architectural site has reached more than 8000 square meters. There are more than 20 temples in the territory, Guiguzi sarcophagus on the cliff, Guiguzi apprentice cave and its mother's virgin cave in the valley. In 2003, the first National Symposium on Guiguzi culture was held in Shiquan, which made Yunwu Mountain become the focus of attention again.

Human landscape resources

There are no religious and ritual buildings in the park, but the scale of Tiantai temple is relatively large in history. Tiantai temple is located at the peak of guiguling, covering an area of more than 8000 square meters. It was first built in the Western Jin Dynasty. Due to disasters and wind and rain erosion, the existing buildings are just ruins. It can be seen from the relics that the Taoist temple building sits in the north and faces the south. The courtyard is slightly rectangular, about 100 meters long from east to west and 80 meters wide from north to south. The main hall is in the center of the north and the wing rooms are on the East and west sides. To the south is the main road to the temple, which is in the shape of "Zhi". That is to say, when you first come to Tiantai temple, you can also feel the magnificence and status of the buildings in the past. Another group of ancient architectural relics in guiguling are many gates, commonly known as yitianmen, ertianmen, Santianmen, 4tianmen and 5tianmen. There is a winding mountain ridge in the south of guiguling. There are five peaks along the ridge. There is a saddle in the middle of the two peaks. The saddle is called "Overpass" because of its two sides. The entrance to the overpass is called the first gate, the second gate, the third gate, the fourth gate and the fifth gate, respectively. The original buildings have disappeared, but the modern stone masonry temples, with different sizes and heights ranging from 1 m to 2 m, are scattered and connected by beads, which can be regarded as a major landscape.

Tiantai temple also has a large number of Steles and stone carvings. For the protection of historical relics, the relevant departments of Shiquan County Government have organized human and material resources to collect and reorganize the stone steles and carvings. There are 12 stone steles and dozens of stone carvings. The stone tablet dates from the year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty to the early years of the Republic of China, with a time interval of about 300 years. The most valuable stele for historical research is the preface to the rebuilding of Tiantai temple in Yunwu Mountain in the 45th year of Qianlong reign in the Qing Dynasty and the stele to repair Tiantai temple in the 8th year of Tongzhi reign in the Qing Dynasty (1869 AD). The stele respectively describes that Tiantai temple was the place where Guiguzi had gone through in the past and the historical evolution of Tiantai temple. Other stone carvings include stone lion, stone drum, stone Buddha, stone poplar, Sarcophagus, etc. The stone lion is made of white marble. It is 1.57 meters high, 1.06 meters long and 0.6 meters wide. The stone drum is placed on both sides of the main gate of the Tiantai temple, with a diameter of 0.65 meters and a thickness of 0.21 meters. The drum is decorated with breast nail patterns, and the drum surface is engraved with the pattern of "Three Lions embroidered ball". The image is realistic and the carving process is very exquisite.

The stone Fang, the sarcophagus, the stone confession tube, the pillar cornerstone, the scripture building, the stone statue, the bronze statue, the iron Buddha and so on are all incomplete. But from the remaining objects, we can see the magnificence of the architectural community here at that time.

The surrounding mountains are shrouded in clouds and fog, which lock the empty mountains. The strange peaks and peak forests are ethereal and void in the clouds and fog, which is as beautiful as a fairyland. Standing on the top of the peaks, overlooking the rolling fog sea at the foot, "the mountain is high and the wind is huge, the fog is uncertain. Looking down at the peaks, it is Bijiao when it comes out, but not Yinhai when it comes out." It's dizzy and frightening.
