Brief introduction of Dingdu peak

Dingdu peak is also famous for Dufeng, Niuxinshan, Niuxintuo and guacaoji.

It is located at the junction of Tanzhe Town, Yongding town and Longquan town in Mentougou District. It is a prominent and almost triangular peak on jueshiliang Ma'anshan Daliang.

In the Ming Dynasty, Wan Shu Za Ji was called niuxin mountain, and Yongding town was called Dingdu peak, while tanzhesi town was called Wangdu peak. Recently, it has been unified as "Dingdu peak".

The peak is 642 meters above sea level and is located at 116 ° 02'40 "E and 39 ° 54'40" n.

Ming Dynasty "Wan Department miscellany" said: "niuxin mountain, 70 miles west of the county." At the beginning of 2007, two stone tablets were found near Fengcun village, Yongding town. One is the stele of Jisheng temple in caogezhuang, and the other is the record of rebuilding Niuxinshan temple. The latter proves that Niuxinshan was named in 1726 ad, and there is a temple named after it. Moreover, the scale and fame of the temple are quite large. The writer of the stele is Lin quanconglun, the Buddhist abbot of Dabaoen temple in Beijing Wang songxingxiu, a disciple of the abbot of Qiyin temple in Yangshan, Beijing, and Xueting Fuyu, the abbot of Shaolin Temple in Songshan, are brothers.

Same latitude as Chang'an Street

Open the map, find 39 degrees 54 minutes, and then draw a straight line along this latitude, you can find: Beijing Chang'an Street, known as "the first street in the world", is on this straight line, so is Dingdu peak.

After the West extension of Chang'an Street is completed, if you climb the Dingdu peak and look to the East, you can feel as if you are in Chang'an Street. You can also imagine that the legend of Dingdu peak seems to have some truth.

In the sunny days without air pollution hundreds of years ago, maybe you can really see Dingdu peak on Chang'an Street!

Legend of Dingdu peak

First, during the Liao and Jin Dynasties, Buddhism and Taoism prevailed, and temples and Taoist temples increased greatly. Qingshou Temple (commonly known as Shuangta Temple) was built on the West Bank of the elbow bend pool of Yuhe River in Beijing. Relying on the peak of the western mountain, because "the sun hangs on the top of the peak, shadows into the Yuhe River, and the two days reflect each other, and the country is divided into two parts", so "Shuangta town" was erected, and "Bajiao" pavilion was set up in luguling.

As a backer, the peak is on the same line as the octagonal pavilion and Qingshou Temple Pagoda, which will become the foundation of Chang'an Street and the extension line in the future. This peak is what we call Dingdu peak.

Secondly, at the beginning of the construction of Dadu in Yuan Dynasty, according to the design, the city wall passed through the twin towers, either demolishing the temple or winding around the temple. The engineers did not dare to move without permission, so they had to report to the emperor for decision.

Kublai Khan, the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, regarded Liu Bingzhong, the abbot of Shuangta temple, as his teacher (Liu Bingzhong had given Kublai Khan a plan to win the throne of Khan), and ordered Dadu Chengji to bypass Shuangta temple for 30 steps.

Therefore, there is a saying that "the abbot of Qingshou Temple points to the emperor, and the imperial city takes 30 steps around the temple.". The arc of the built city wall is opposite to Dingdu peak.

Third, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Di, the fourth Prince born to Chen Youliang's wife (later Zhu Yuanzhang's wife), was known as "wise and courageous" in the Ming Dynasty, but in the dark, he had a plan to succeed. He was granted the title of "king of Yan" and stationed in Beijing, where "cooking in casseroles" and "measuring firewood" were far away.

Before the departure of the king of Yan, Liu Bowen secretly granted him "Wen Tuo Yao Guangxiao, Wu relied on the empress of Chang's family (Chang Yuchun)". After taking office, I visited Yao Guangxiao in Longshan Temple (now Tanzhe Temple).

Yao Guanqi had the image of an emperor. He stayed in the temple and ascended the peak the next day.

At that time, the valley was rainy, the sky was clear, the sun was rising in the East, the purple air was transpiration, the Hun River was across, the Dragon scales were flashing, and everything was shining. The king of Yan called, "the place on the sun is the birthplace of our millennium Foundation in the Ming Dynasty!" Yao Guangxiao then said: "thousand years old, this is the birthplace of my ten thousand year foundation of Ming Dynasty!" The king of Yan smiles with his heart. He circles his peak three times and looks around in all directions.

In the East, the sun shines like pearls and jade, and the Hun River (Yongding River) lies in the shape of a dragon. In the southeast, the fertile fields are boundless, and the dragon goes into the sea. Under the blissful peak, the pine forest is as green as green, and the Buddhist light of Jietai and Xifeng temples and Xiaguang add radiance to each other. In the south, from Ma'anshan in Nandaling, the former sites of Liangxiang, Doudian and Liulihe in the Western Zhou Dynasty can be discerned, and this peak can be used as a reference In the west, the west mountain is connected with Taihang, and the Tanzhe scenic spot is a towering Buddha.

Then he sighed: "the location of this peak and the beauty of the scenery are unique. It's a gift from heaven!" In 1398, Emperor Taizu died, Jianwen succeeded to the throne, fearing the rebellion of the vassal, and began to cut off the vassal. King Yan, fearing disaster to himself, launched the "Jingnan battle" in the name of the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. After four years, King Yan gained the throne. He thought that the "RISHANG" was "the birthplace of the Millennium foundation of the Ming Dynasty" and intended to move the capital to Beijing, so he issued a decree to implement it and designated the "RISHANG" as the Jinluan palace Address.

First of all, he built the Chengtian platform to watch the sunrise on the mountain climbing of the king of Yan, but it was fruitless; second, he took the twin towers and the octagonal pavilion as the standard to watch the sunrise on the spring equinox and autumn equinox, but it was fruitless. At that time, craftsmen gathered in Beijing and materials were like mountains, but the site of Jinluan hall had not yet been selected.

Therefore, it is suggested that the imperial mausoleum should be built first, and the craftsmen and materials should be divided. The site was first located in the Yang of tietuo mountain (not far from the northwest of Tanzhe Temple). The local people didn't want to. They named the top of the northeast corner of Tanzhe Temple jueshiling, which was against taboo. Then they changed the site to Tianshou mountain in Changping, and built Ming Dynasty nunnery at the first site. Therefore, there is a folk saying that "the imperial mausoleum should be built first, and then the Imperial Palace should be built.".

By the eighth year of Yongle, the spring and autumn equinox was still neither overcast nor rainy, and the city's standard had not been determined. Yao Guangxiao had no choice but to discuss with many engineers repeatedly. Later, Cai Xinyan, the engineer, and Prime Minister Liu (Bowen), Tuomeng, said, "the place where you can watch the sun is the place where you can watch the peak and the sun goes down. You can set the standard for Yingdu." Guangxiao's Epiphany makes the project prosperous.

Therefore, there is a saying that "the city of Beijing begins with RISHANG, and its success comes from rixia". Later, some people took RISHANG or rixia as the pronoun of Beijing. Zhu YIZUN wrote rixia Jiuwen, and Qianlong wrote a textual research on rixia Jiuwen. It takes five years for the imperial city to set up its bid, so it is the capital peak!

Fourth, after the completion of Beijing, the Ming Dynasty officially moved its capital to Beijing in 1421. After arriving in Beijing, Zhu Di, the emperor of Yongle, was over the age of Huajia. It has been more than 20 years since he ascended the peak to watch the sunrise. He was very unhappy and said to this peak, "I have been here for five years. This peak has not been written, named or sealed for five hundred years." Every peak around Beijing has its title, but this peak is nameless.

In order to supervise the implementation of the "three noes", Xu Da, the founder of the country, was granted the title of "dingguogong" by his descendants. He inherited the throne and lived in the northwest of lujiatan.

Tourism

Although there is no textual research on all kinds of legends, it is also a kind of culture that a mountain peak can have so many sayings. That's all. It's worth it. On Dingdu peak, it is now under construction
