Qinglong mountain

Qinglong mountain

Qinglong mountain is located in Luan county, Tangshan City, Hebei Province. It is one of the three famous mountains as well as Jieshi mountain and Panshan mountain. In ancient times, it was called Qingliang mountain, also known as Jielong mountain. The peaks of Qinglong mountain are arranged, and the winding paths lead to seclusion. There are steep cliffs, misty clouds, religious relics of nine temples and eighteen temples, and many myths and legends. In 1959, it was set up as a state-owned forest farm, planted with cypress, pine and other trees, covering more than 80% of the forest area.

Development history

record

Qinglong mountain was originally named Qingliang mountain because it is surrounded by mountains, full of pines and cypresses, gentle wind and not hot in midsummer. Later, this place was valued by Taoists, who believed that the four gods, Qinglong, Baihu, Zhuque and Xuanwu, were in charge of all directions. Standing in Beijing and facing due south, "zuoqinglong, youbaihu" refers to Baihu cave in West Beijing, and "zuoqinglong" refers to Qingliang mountain in luanzhou. And quoted "Huainanzi astronomy training" in the words, said "the God of the precious, not expensive in Qinglong", so renamed Qinglong mountain. Later, Buddhists came to build temples to practice. The common people think that the East Peak here is towering, steep and straight, like a dragon's head looking at the sun; it extends gently to the west, really like a dragon's body undulating, and the trees are verdant, green all the year round, so they recognize the name of Qinglong mountain.

According to the records, "Qingliang mountain is located in the northwest of Yi'an mountain, more than 60 li away from the city, and in the north of the mountain, which is the boundary between Lulong County and Qian'an county. There is yangu temple, next to two wells, water into a stream. There are also Luohan cave and dozens of Leshi Buddha. There is a courtyard in Huangtu mountain, on the top of which is the Sanxiao palace, with ancient trees in the sky. According to legend, there is a rat in the temple as big as a dog, and the Taoist priest feeds it with remnant rice. There are more than ten kinds of medicinal materials such as talc, chrysotile and Hypericum... " The yangu temple and Luohan cave are Buddhist relics, while the Sanxiao palace is Taoist architecture, with three generations of tombs of the Dharma Master, his master and his master.

The origin of Qinglong mountain and Buddhism can be traced back to a long distance. In recent years, in the process of rebuilding the yangu temple, a memorial tablet of rebuilding the yangu temple was unearthed in 1842, the 22nd year of Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty. The inscription dates back to Liuzhuang (58-75 years), emperor of the Han and Ming Dynasties. The details are yet to be studied. The exact material evidence is the stone sculptures of Buddha in Luohan cave in the Southern District of Qinglong mountain. They are divided into three columns, six districts and nine groups. There are 58 Buddha statues. The lines are natural and smooth, and the shape is lifelike. The hard stone shows the fullness of the skin and the flexibility of the clothes and shoes. Each Buddha has its own magic tools and objects, which are lifelike. The technique is delicate. The upper limit is the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the lower limit is the Liao and Jin Dynasties, that is, between 386 and 1234 ad, with a history of at least 800 years.

Beijing mountain railway, Beijing Qinhuangdao railway and Tianjin Qinhuangdao passenger dedicated line under construction pass through the territory. Niangniangding, the main peak of Qinglong mountain, is 439 meters above sea level, belonging to the remaining vein of Yanshan mountain. It has a north-south trend, with a set of mountains in the mountains and a series of peaks outside the mountains. Surrounded by mountains, it is 15 kilometers long from north to South and 20 kilometers wide from east to west, with a total area of 300 square kilometers. More than 1700 Mu and more than 30 kinds of medicinal plants in the scenic area are a major feature here.

There are many ancient architectural sites in Qinglongshan scenic area. In addition to Sanxiao palace and yangu temple, there are Wanghai tower, Luohan cave, Longxing Temple, Yunju temple, Xinglong Temple theater, forest of Steles, mountain temple, earth temple, God of wealth temple, Huangshan academy, Wanghai Hongya temple and other natural landscapes, such as reclining Buddha, Xiangshan, Yinyang Erjing This is a beautiful myth and historical allusion, which contains a lot of folklore and religious culture.

Liu Dongmei, a Jinshi in the late Qing Dynasty, once wrote a poem praising the Wanghai tower on the top of the mountain. The poem said: "a hundred foot dangerous building stands on the top of the mountain. When you climb on the mountain, you will be drunk with immortals. In the north, the eagle moraine is filled with clouds, and the Jiaogong palace is filled with waves. Pine gully haze floating outside the threshold, mountain spring Qin building falls in front of the steps. My ambition lies in the sea. I'm old enough to go back to the fields. " Another cloud: "cool top, there are tall buildings, the southern sky, the sea and the autumn. The emperor of wanpai regained his vision and focused his mind on the past of a thousand years. Chengluo is willing to follow the NYI mountain records. It's hard to get rid of Jingwei's worries by holding stones. To a higher level. Poor tiger

Main attractions

Qinglong mountain is bounded by the peak, and there used to be a large-scale Buddhist temple on both sides. On the west side of the mountain is yangu temple, which is commonly known as Xiasi because it is at the foot of the mountain. In the temple, there are three floors of palaces. In the main hall, there are "Buddha in the west" and eighteen Arhats. In the side hall, there are ten Yama. In the front hall, there are four Dharma protectors. The image is lofty, solemn and exquisite. Outside the gate of Xiasi is the famous big stage, which is made of stone. The two corridors are spacious and the top of the stage is magnificent. It is an important performance place for the founding of Pingxi and luanzhou film. Every year, there are grand performances on the Qingming Festival, Chaoshan, Lvzu Christmas on April 18 and Xiayuan temple fair on October 15, with thousands and tens of thousands of people watching each performance. In front of yangu temple, there is an ancient relict "living fossil" plant Gongsun tree, commonly known as Ginkgo biloba, which is 25 meters high and 8.50 meters in circumference. Only a few people can embrace it. The shape of the tree is peculiar. The eight main branches are like eight dragons. They come from the outer side of the sky. Even the remaining branches at the bottom are like the dragon head looking at the sky. It is commonly known as "the pilgrimage to Kowloon". This tree was transplanted by monks in the south. It has been more than 800 years old. It can be seen that Buddhism is far away here.

Qinglongshan yangu temple is also called Xiasi or Xiasi. Founded in the period of emperor Liu Zhuang (58-75) of the Han and Ming Dynasties, it is a Taoist temple. After Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, returned from his eastern expedition to Korea in 644, he ordered Yuchi Jingde to rebuild the temple and build a monument to record his achievements. It was rebuilt many times later. This picture was taken after the restoration in 1933. The original temple has been destroyed, and the existing "monument of rebuilding yangu temple and theater"

There used to be "Qingliang Temple" under the cliff on the east side of Qinglong, which had been collapsed by a huge rock. According to the remains of Qingliang Temple stele, it records the context of Buddhism's introduction from India to China, and then from the south to the North: the first ancestor Dharma, the second ancestor Huike, the sixth ancestor Huineng, and then from Linji to Qinglong mountain.

However, the temple was destroyed in a sudden accident. According to the inscription, "in a short period of time, the death of a man and the rise of a pillar of a building." What is the change? Qinglong mountain has suffered many great disasters in history. For example, in 1658, the county annals recorded that "Lei Zhenqing Liangshan, cutting the mountain like a ditch and water, standing more than Zhang, if there is something to go with..." However, judging from the wording of the inscriptions, "the death of a man in Russia" does not emphasize the natural disaster, but the two ends of "man" and "matter". It seems that the disaster was destroyed in an unspeakable political change or religious conflict. The following is:

"On April 25th, the 15th year, an eminent monk Fei Xi built a temple on the top of the mountain..." Feixi was the name of the eminent monk, and the temple he rebuilt later collapsed for some reason. In 1464, the abbot Jingxi rebuilt it, and in 1496, the monk humanely added the tools for the application of the trough roller, and added the Buddha Hall and decorated the holy statue. The inscription called it "Lun Yan, Ya Yan, Jin Bi Jiao Hui". I think it must be quite grand. Unfortunately, later, it was completely destroyed by the huge "Woliang stone" which suddenly collapsed beside the cliff.

From the south of wanghailou site, carefully walk down the cliff nearly 100 meters high between the thorny rocks, that is, to the south of Qianceng cliff, below the cliff on the east side of Qinglong mountain. Looking around, there is a strange phenomenon in the middle of the mountain, that is, 3355, dotted with a few high "flying stones". This kind of huge stone, up to two or three feet high, can seat ten or twenty people. It's not the same color as the nearby stones, and it's not connected with the veins. I don't know where to fly. I can imagine the drastic changes of the ancient crust. Feilaishi is named after its shape, including houmianshi, chugan Shi, Baxian Shi, Jiamen Shi, Jiangjun Shi, laoci Shi, gaijing Shi, Woliang Shi, Hutouya, laoniucao, Maer Shi, guanmianzi and Luoluo Shi

South along the cliff is the former site of Qingliang temple. Further south, there is a spring murmuring, four seasons do not dry up, next to a four character stone inscription "Yujing Changfeng". Further south, looking up, there is a narrow gap between the cliffs. I don't know if it's artificial carving, or heaven and earth, or both. Anyway, there are stone steps that can lead to the top of the mountain, called TIANTI. The distance is shortened, but it is extremely steep. It is a shortcut for the brave.

Through the mountain flowers hazel, across the dangerous slope path, to reach the Luohan cave in the mare mountain. Around the winding mountain, we come to a small scenic spot called "Golden Pigeon tears".

According to legend, there was a golden foal and a pair of golden pigeons in the mountain, and the long handled gourd growing in a farmer's house was the key to the mountain. The greedy householder doesn't allow it to grow for 100 days, hoping to get golden foal and Golden Pigeon. As a result, the mountain opened and closed, and the golden foal only showed two ears, that is, ma'er mountain. When the Golden Pigeon failed to fly out, she burst into tears all her life and turned into a mountain spring. It flowed from the crevice of the stone to the four square grooves, which was called "Golden Pigeon tears", and the villagers regarded it as holy water.

After appreciating the holy water, I wear flowers to spend willows, go downhill and enjoy thousands of mu
