Main attractions

Horiwei red leaf

Juiwei mountain has been a forest of birch and cypress since ancient times, especially the beautiful red leaves in autumn, ranking first among the eight ancient scenic spots in Jinyang. Yangqu county annals written by Daoguang of Qing Dynasty contains the saying that "frost falls in late autumn, and red leaves all over the mountain become purple". In the depression, there are many shrubs and weeds. Spring and summer are green, and mountain flowers are in full bloom. When late autumn comes, horiweishan will change into a light gauze like red dress, like clouds and rosy clouds. The Yellow reeds all over the mountains are covered with red leaves like flames. They sway gently in the autumn wind and make a rustling sound. They are very much like the flaming fire trees. Even the white grass under their feet is glowing with a red halo like smoke. Looking up, it looks like a light red carpet, which stretches from the side to the top of the mountain, setting off the blue sky and white clouds. Looking down, it looks like a rolling red wave, rolling from the bottom of the mountain to the side, as if to melt people into the red ocean When you get to the top of the mountain and stand under the towering juiwei mountain relic tower, you can see the scenery of Jinyang from afar with a clear mind, which makes you feel cheerful and vigorous.

Duofu Temple

Duofu temple is located on horiwei mountain. The temple was founded in 786 (the second year of Zhenyuan in Tang Dynasty). Li Keyong, a general of Shatuo in Tang Dynasty, and Li Cunxu, the later emperor of Zhuang in Tang Dynasty, and his son paid homage to Buddha here. The existing stone tablet in 1615 (the 43rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty) in the temple has the record that "the pillars are far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties". "Yangqu county annals" by Daoguang of Qing Dynasty states: "Li Keyong, king of Jin Dynasty, and Zi Cunxu, son of Jin Dynasty, burned incense and carved stone here, which is also called the temple on the mountain." The Song Dynasty was destroyed by war, and rebuilt on the original site in the Hongwu Period of Ming Dynasty (1368-1398). It is now a key cultural relic protection unit at the municipal level.

The temple faces south from the north, with brick, tile, wood and stone structures. The original building is large-scale, unique layout, known as the "true three courtyard", before and after the left and right are three courtyard, a total of nine courtyard. There are three courtyards in the existing buildings. The first entrance to the courtyard is the Mountain Gate with a width of three rooms. Outside the gate are two generals of hem and ha, and inside are four heavenly kings. Around the gate are the bell and drum towers. After entering the mountain gate, the front is the Mahatma hall, which is 7 rooms wide and 5 rooms deep. The double eaves rest on the top of the mountain, the five pavilions are made of brackets, and the surrounding corridors are magnificent in scale. The inside is for three Buddhas and four Bodhisattvas, with a height of more than Zhang. There is a statue of Guanyin sitting upside down behind the main statue, which is a masterpiece of the Ming Dynasty. There are 84 murals of Sakyamuni's Bensheng story painted on the three walls of the hall. They are painted with Lek powder to outline the clothing pattern, and single murals are connected with natural landscape. The front of the second entrance courtyard is the Sutra house, the Manjusri Pavilion in the East and the black dragon hall in the West. The floor width of the Sutra collection is 5 rooms. It is a double-layer building with a lower cave and a upper Pavilion. Six wooden pillars stand in front of the cave to form a Baoxia. The green stone inside the cave is a beamless structure. The stone pillars on both sides of the cave have Fu Shan's handwriting. Shange Sutra house is a double eaves tower on the top of the mountain. The Manjusri Pavilion on the east side of the Sutra collection building is three rooms wide. There are three Buddha statues about 5 meters high in the pavilion. They are exquisite and lifelike. They are treasures of ancient clay sculpture art, and the murals of Ming Dynasty are well preserved. You stone cave is Fu Qingzhu's reading place, commonly known as Hongye cave. On the stone wall in front of the cave, the ink of Fu Shan and the stone tablet of "Fu Qingzhu's reading place" engraved in the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1875-1908) still exist. The black dragon hall is a hard mountain building with three rooms in width and one room in depth. In the shrine of the hall, there is a dragon king and four magic soldiers of "wind, rain, thunder and electricity" on the left and right. There is an ancient stone well in front of the door. There is a green dragon carved on the stone plate at the bottom of the well. It is said that it was left by Manjusri Bodhisattva and is known as the dragon pool. The main building of Sanjin courtyard is Qianfo hall, with 5 rooms in width and 3 rooms in depth. It is a hilltop building. There are wing rooms on both sides, square peony pools on the left and right of the stone steps, and Millennium peonies planted in the Tang Dynasty.

In addition, Feiyun peak is carved on the cliff about 11 meters to the east of the temple. In the south of the temple, there is a nunnery. There are three stone houses with holes dug on the cliff. The stone wall is several feet high. It used to be a nun's residence, but now the temple still exists. There are many pines and cypresses in the temple.

Out of the small gate on the east side of Duofu temple, along the stone path, on the north side of the valley, there are two ancient cypresses growing from the same root and twisting with each other. They are called "master and apprentice cypresses" and "husband and wife cypresses". There are many moving Legends about this cypress, which have been handed down to this day.

Seven level relic tower

There is a relic tower on the top of the southeast of Duofu temple. It was originally built in the Song Dynasty. The tower base and platform are made of bricks and stones. It is 17 meters wide from east to west, 21 meters long from north to south, and 25 meters high. It has 7 floors, 6 corners and 6 sides. It is exquisitely made and stands on the top of juiwei mountain, just like the top tassel of a samurai helmet. Standing at the base of the tower and looking eastward, you can have a panoramic view of Taiyuan city. There are many high-rise buildings, and the two towers are in the sky. When you look at this tower from afar, you can see the sparkling Fenshui River, the green shade on both sides of the river and the net of rice fields.

Fu Qingzhu reading Office

On the front wall of the stone cave below the Sutra collection building of Duofu temple, there is an inscription of "Fu Qingzhu's reading place" in the late Qing Dynasty, and Fu Shan's ink remains. Many people mistakenly think that this is the "frost red niche" (nunnery). In fact, this is the place where Fu Shan borrowed the monk's room to study before he built the frost red niche. Around 1642 (the 15th year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty), Fushan built an nunnery near Duofu temple, named Qingyang nunnery. After entering the Qing Dynasty, it was also called Shuanghong nunnery. It was built by Fushan specially for reading and writing books. Fu Shan once said: "the Taoist Qingyang temple is in Songyin, so there is a sentence: Autumn mountains are endless, frost leaves can be red." (the painting of red leaves in juiwei)

Fu Shan was a famous thinker and scholar in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Zeng Yun of Qing Dynasty wrote the biography of Fu Shan, saying that "Caibo's ancient and modern books, all the scholars of one hundred schools, are not inundated. They are big percussion, big singing, small percussion and small singing." Guo wrote the biography of Fu Shan, saying that he "had a great knowledge of many books, which was called Xuehai at that time.". Gu Yanwu, a friend of Fu Shan, once said, "if you don't read much, if you write lightly, you will miss your later studies. Although you have been studying for 40 or 50 years, you can see the same thing." When Fu Shan was a boy, he not only studied in private schools, but also built a rainbow nest under an old apricot tree in front of doctor Dou's ancestral hall in Lan village of Taiyuan to study outside. In the summer of 1642 (the 15th year of Chongzhen reign), Fu Shan mentioned for the first time the building of an nunnery on Mount juiwei in his poem Jishi Yincheng: "the small structure of the nunnery in juiwei can be silent all one's life." the fact that the body is sent from the northern suburbs, and people guess that it is in the west, indicates that the nunnery was not built long ago, but it has been well known because of frequent visits to it. He has three poems of Qingyang nunnery, which describes the situation of building, operating and living in Qingyang nunnery: "if you chisel a sutra of green nunnery, you will not be a guest of Qu Tan, because you are not a mountain, I will add a peak of green"; "Ying song, Luo Bai, Xu Tuan cool, red leaf Lou tou rain fragrance.". The village at the foot of the mountain can't be seen, while the South and north of the mountain ring and murmur. Warm snow, mountain grapes, fragrant wind, wild roses He also wrote a poem named "juiwei Shideng", which describes the situation when he ascended the mountain from the bottom of the mountain: "the stone Deng is singing, the fragrance is faint, and the wind is blowing gently. It's a bird in the clouds. Once it passes through the west of the sky, it's horiwei. " Fu Shan was about 37 years old when he built and lived in this nunnery.

But within a few years, the Ming Dynasty was destroyed, so that he did not realize his wish of "reading Confucian classics and history for ten years behind closed doors". After the death of the Ming Dynasty, he traveled everywhere until 1660 (the 17th year of Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty), when he was 55 years old, he settled in Songzhuang, Taiyuan. Sometimes, in order to avoid the common customs, he lived in juiwei mountain, and changed the name of Qingyang temple to shuanghongkan, which not only conforms to the scene of juiwei red leaves, but also implies the meaning of "frost beating safflower" (because the secret anti Qing society at that time referred to the Qing Dynasty as "safflower", and compared the anti Qing power to frost and snow). Fu Shan wrote many works, many of which were written in this period, and many of them were written in shuanghongkan. He has two poems about his focus on the scene when he wrote a book in shuanghongkan: "the ancients learned to be rich in three winters, and it was difficult to attack drugs when they were lazy. Jiang Bi cherishes Yin in the white of the moon, Fu Shan is drunk with frost all night long (red leaf building), and "purple clouds, green trees, stone, flowers and small gall goblets". A wisp of Shen smoke lingers in Bai Yi. Mr. Chen is writing a health book ("Qingyang Temple"). Because of this, when later generations collected and sorted out his works, they named it frost red niche collection.

Fushan, a native of the West Village of Yangqu, Taiyuan, once lived in Songzhuang, Dongshan, Taiyuan. He also stayed in Tutang (Jingyin Temple) for many times and left a memorable trace on the mount horiwei. In the forest near Duofu temple, there is a building site with quite a lot of stones. It is speculated that it may be the site of frost red niche.

Tutang Jingyin Temple

Tutang Jingyin temple, also known as Dafo temple, is located in the west of Tutang village, 8 kilometers to the east of horiwei, and 7.5 kilometers to the north of chaicun village, Jiancaoping district. It is built close to the mountain, facing Fenshui in the East, with towering ancient cypresses and mixed trees. In 1541 (the 20th year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty), the stele records that in the Han Dynasty, the earth mountain collapsed and collapsed into a cave. The height of the earth hill in the cave was 10 feet. It was said that it was a avalanche Buddha, which was the cause of the pure land of Buddhism. So the villagers invited sculptors to process the carvings and build caves for them. In 1739 (the fourth year of Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty), a stone tablet was erected, also known as "the Great Buddha was created in the Han Dynasty". According to textual research, Jingyin temple was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, rebuilt in 1205 (the fifth year of Jin Taihe), and rebuilt many times in the Ming Dynasty. The temple is at the municipal level
