Feilai Peak

The mountains and rocks in Lingyin area are rugged, and the scenery is absolutely different. Huili, an Indian monk, said, "this is the small ridge of lingjiu mountain in central India. Why did you fly here?" Therefore, it is called "Fei Lai Feng". Feilaifeng is a rare ancient grotto art treasure in the south of the Yangtze River, which can be compared with Dazu stone carvings in Sichuan. Su Dongpo once wrote a poem that "streams and mountains can be lush everywhere, and his favorite poem is Lingyin flying to the peak".

Feilai Peak

Feilai peak, also known as lingjiu peak, is 168 meters high and 1424 meters high.

The mountain is made of limestone. Due to the long-term dissolution of groundwater, feilaifeng has formed many fantastic caves, such as Longhong cave, Yuru cave, shexu cave, Huyu cave, etc. the caves have a long history and are full of legend.

The grotesque rocks in the hall of Feilai peak are like dragons, running elephants, crouching tigers and startling apes. They are like a stone zoo. The old trees and vines on the mountain are intertwined; the rock bones are exposed, and the edges of the peaks are cut. Yuan Dao, a man of the Ming Dynasty, once said: "among the peaks on the lake, Feilai should be the first." According to previous records, there were 72 caves in the past, but most of them were buried because of their age. Most of the remaining caves are concentrated in the southeast side of Mt. Feilai.

legend

It is said that one day, Ji Gong, a monk in Lingyin Temple, had a sudden idea that a mountain was coming from a distance. At that time, there was a village in front of Lingyin Temple. Ji Gong was afraid that the mountain would kill people, so he rushed into the village to persuade everyone to leave as soon as possible. Because people in the village are used to seeing Jigong crazy and playing tricks on others, they think that this time they are looking for everyone's happiness, so no one listens to him. Seeing that the mountain peak was about to come, Ji Gong was in a hurry. He rushed into a bride's home, picked up the bride who was worshiping and ran away. When the villagers saw the monk snatching the bride, they all yelled and chased out. People are chasing, suddenly listen to the wind, the sky is dark, "boom" sound, a mountain flew down in front of Lingyin Temple, overwhelmed the whole village. At this time, people realized that Jigong robbed the bride to save everyone, so they called this peak "Feilai peak".

This is the famous line of sky. You can hear the constant sound of water in the sixth cave of Tibet. On the west side of the mountain, there is the hoape cave. It is said that the monk Huili called for the black and white apes. The ape roar in the cold spring was one of the ten sceneries in Qiantang.

At the West foot of Feilai peak, there is a cold spring hidden in the deep green shade. The spring water is crystal clear as jade. On the surface of the pool, there is an underground spring with a big bowl mouth. No matter whether the stream rises or falls, it will gush ceaselessly, flying pearls and splashing jade, like playing the sound of nature. Shen Shitian, a painter of the Ming Dynasty, wrote: "the scenery on the lake is hidden, and the scenery is only in the cold spring." There is a cold spring Pavilion beside the cold spring pool.

Located in the hillside of Lingyin Feilai peak, the Cuiwei Pavilion is small and exquisite. Beside the pavilion, the mountain path is winding, and it is hidden in the ancient pine trees. It is simple and dignified. This pavilion was built in memory of Yue Fei by Han Shizhong, a famous anti Jin general in the Southern Song Dynasty. There is a couplet on the pavilion, which says: "the road turns to the peak to return to the historic site, and the pavilion empty people look up to the former sages." Today's Cuiwei pavilion was rebuilt on the original site in 1924.

More than 470 stone sculptures from the Five Dynasties to the song and Yuan Dynasties are carved on the caves of feilaifeng and the cliffs along the stream (335 of them are well preserved and relatively complete).
