brief introduction

In 622 A.D., Li Chunfeng, a great mathematician and master of life in Tang Dynasty, who was as famous as Zu Chongzhi, was a monk at the foot of Songshan mountain.

In 750 ad, Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, wrote the plaque of "Changsong Temple".

In 1899, another astronomer, master of Yi ology and discoverer of the 10th planet in the solar system, Liu Zihua, came out of Changsong mountain.

Volume 10 of Sichuan general annals says: "Jianzhou, Changsong mountain is 70 miles north of the state. It is divided into Dongshan mountain, which borders Chengdu County in the north. All the mountains in the boundary originate here."

Changsong temple is located in the beautiful peach blossom valley of Longquan, facing Baoshi lake and backed by Changsong mountain, covering an area of more than 1000 mu. The former rosefinch, the latter Xuanwu, the left Qinglong and the right Baihu are surrounded by hidden green mountains and endless green water. It can be said that "the mountain is in charge of people and money, the mountain is in charge of clouds and the water is in charge of smoke".

legend

At the peak of the Longquan mountains, there is a beautiful scenery that people yearn for. There are many ancient trees here, covering the sky and the sun, and the breeze comes slowly. It is the closest, best preserved and most mysterious scenery to Chengdu. The annual temperature here is at least 5 ℃ lower than that of Chengdu City, so it is an ideal summer resort. It has towering ancient trees, about 20 kilometers away from Chengdu City, and is the closest "virgin forest" to Chengdu City. It has a fascinating spirit, which is due to the famous millennium old temple, Changsong temple, which was born more than 1400 years ago.

It's a beautiful legend. When the Tang Dynasty was in crisis, Emperor Xuanzong dressed up as a scholar and paid a private visit. One day, as he passed through Changsong mountain in Longquanyi, he met a cobra. He was scared out of his wits. He closed his eyes and thought it was over. For a long time, he opened his eyes, and the cobra had disappeared. He saw a big fairy with long feet fighting with the cobra on the cloud. After a while, the dead Cobra fell in front of the emperor.

After this toss, it was dark, and the emperor saw that there were no people around him. He was afraid again. He quickly walked forward, and suddenly a group of robbers stopped him to buy money. The Emperor didn't have any money on him, so he handed the jade circle to the robber. Seeing that the jade circle was shining, the robber knew that it was valuable and that the man had a future, so he had the evil idea of killing people. They took the emperor to the hillside, saw a well, pushed him down and ran away. Fortunately, it was a dry well, and the emperor of Tang and Ming saved his life. Later, the immortal with long feet rescued him again. Back in the capital, Li Longji, emperor of the Tang Dynasty, sent a decree to Jianzhou (now Jianyang City, when Longquan was the boundary of Jianyang) to build a temple on Changsong mountain. Worship the great immortal with long feet. Tang Xuanzong also personally came to burn incense and kowtow, and personally granted the plaque of "Changsong Temple".

In fact, this is not a beautiful legend. The plaque of "Changsong Temple" given by Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty still exists today. Even today's Jianyang chronicle has detailed records of the strange scenery here. "LIANGANG has the fairy cave of Chunfeng, and the song has the layer wave of Jiangshui. Filial son left ring, loyal country right support, dragon pan tiger jump, for Southeast flood *. Chishui Hailuo is the Bank of the northwest. People in Song Dynasty said, "Tianfu is the most powerful state in China."

What makes Changsong mountain and Changsong Temple famous in the world is a famous Zen master in the Tang Dynasty, Ma zudaoyi. "Sichuan general annals" Volume 38 says: "Changsong temple, in the northwest of Changsong mountain. Yanqing temple, the site of cancong temple, was built by Zen master Mazu in Kaiyuan period of Tang Dynasty. It was named Jiafu in Song Dynasty and Lingfeng today

Who is Matsu? "Daoyi was a famous Zen master of Tang Dynasty in China. He was born in Shifang (now Shifang City) of Han state. He had a common surname Ma, and later generations respected him as Mazu. When he was young, he became a monk in Zizhou, and he was a lawyer in Yuzhou. Kaiyuan (735 years) to Hengshan, knot nunnery and live, all day meditation

Unfortunately, this place, which records the Buddhist history of the Chinese nation, was destroyed by the war. The 591 volume of the ancient and modern book collection is recorded as follows: "governor Jian songsI. In Changsong mountain, 50 Li northwest of the country, it is the Taoist temple of Mazu Chan Master. On the left side is the temple of cancong king, which was destroyed by war and fire. "

However, what can not be destroyed is the indelible and admirable history. Even today, when we come to this place of history, we can still discern the shadow of prosperity thousands of years ago.

Li Chunfeng, a famous feng shui master in Tang Dynasty, was a disciple of Yuan Tiangang, and Yuan Tiangang was a master of fate appointed by Wu Zetian.

There are historical facts. According to volume 592 of the book collection of ancient and modern books, baguatai is located in the place where Li Chunfeng cultivated immortals The fourth volume of general annals of Sichuan says: "the tomb of Li Chunfeng in the Tang Dynasty is 50 Li to the west of the state."

What about Li Chunfeng's achievements? Joseph Needham, a famous British scholar who was 13 centuries later than Li Chunfeng and known as "China expert", commented in his monograph "history of science and technology in China" like this: "Li Chunfeng studied astronomy in the early 7th century, when Buddhism had a great influence and Greek astronomy thought entered China through India In order to facilitate the observation of the latitude of the Yellow River, it was suggested that a tube should be installed according to the ecliptic

There are amazing similarities in history. After more than 1300 turns of time, a legendary figure like Li Chunfeng, the famous astronomer Liu Zihua, was born at the foot of Changsong mountain.

History is like a sleeping old man, always watching the endless nature. The historical value and archaeological value of Changsong temple are becoming more and more mellow and fragrant with the development of time, which nourishes the soil and people.

"Beat the stone drum, hit the stone bell, ride the Wolong, ride the Changsong; anyone who knows how to break it will be able to sit in the middle.". Ancient proverbs have given today's Changsong temple too many associations and infinite vitality.
