Cultural attractions

Tianchi Palace

Tianchi palace was built more than 600 years ago at the end of Ming Dynasty. It has experienced many changes and three times of renovation. It is a Taoist temple dedicated to the three Qing Dynasties and a key cultural relic protection object in Guizhou.

Geomantic omen in the struggle between Buddhism and Taoism

According to legend, at first, both Buddhism and Taoism took a fancy to this treasure land above the cloud terrace, and both wanted to build a Taoist temple to practice here. After several years of stalemate, the Buddhists finally won and built this place into a Buddhist temple. The incense flourished for a time, and many eminent monks with profound practice were born.

Eminent monks have been handed down from generation to generation, so the geomantic omen is excellent and the aura is rich. Before passing away, they were ordered to be buried in shangtianchi to protect the land from generation to generation. (so there are many tombs of eminent monks nearby)

Tianchi palace was destroyed during the cultural revolution. Recently, the abbot, Mr. Li Yueyue, took the lead in renovating the tunnel teaching association, and it was the Tianchi palace. Eighty year old Mr. Li Yueyue is still here.

Legend of the lion turning back

The lion in the yard turned back instead of standing by the door.

At the end of Ming Dynasty and the beginning of Qing Dynasty, two stone lions separated in front of Tianchi Palace (Temple), which was lifelike and majestic. In that year, the rice harvest was poor and the villagers had difficulty in making a living, so they were ready to come to Tianchi Palace (Temple) to ask the Bodhisattva to rescue them. After worshiping the Bodhisattva, they went home.

The next day, the villagers found that the two stone lions in front of the gate of Tianchi Palace (Temple) somehow moved to the courtyard, and they all face the main hall.

The villagers didn't understand, so they asked the abbot monk to know the truth.

It turned out that these two stone lions had survived. In the middle of the night, when no one was there, he ran to play in the rice field, which led to a rice failure. The Bodhisattva listened to the difficulties of the villagers and showed mercy. He moved the two stone lions to the courtyard, facing the main hall. The Bodhisattva took care of them in person, and they did not dare to be presumptuous any more.

Holy image of Sanqing

The main hall is dedicated to the Taoist "Sanqing". Sanqing is the highest god of Taoism, which can not be worshipped in general.

Long march trail

After the Zunyi Meeting, the Central Red Army carried out the campaign of crossing Chishui River four times. It crossed the Chishui River twice and four times. Finally, it successfully broke out the enemy's encirclement and got close to Yunnan.

At this time, Mao Zedong gained the military command of the long march troops. This long march trail was the road that the red army went through when they went to Chishui River.

In view of the disadvantageous situation that the Red Army was besieged by the enemy on all sides and the limited circumgyration area in northern Guizhou, Mao Zedong and others gave up the plan to establish the Sichuan Guizhou base.

This is a road for the Red Army to change from passive transfer to active attack;

This is a turning point in the long march;

This is the way for the Red Army to turn from failure to success.

After that, the Red Army crossed Chishui, Jinsha River and Luding Bridge, leading China's Anti Japanese War to victory.

When commanding the Loushanguan campaign, Mao Zedong once wrote an impassioned poem: "the Loushanguan campaign is an important part of the famous four crossing Chishui campaign. It is the first victory of the Central Red Army after the" fourth anti encirclement and suppression "campaign in the Central Soviet area."

< I in memory of qin'e's Loushan Pass

The west wind is strong, and the wild geese in the sky call the frost morning moon. Frost morning moon, horse hoof sound broken, trumpet sound pharynx.

It's like iron, but now it's over from the beginning. From the beginning, Cangshan is like the sea, and the sun is like blood.

Guanyin Temple

Built in the reign of Emperor Qianlong, it is mainly divided into main hall, side halls on both sides, and Weituo Dharma shrine (Kan).

Weituo is one of the Eight Generals of the southern growth heavenly king, ranking first among the 32 generals (each of the four heavenly kings has eight generals). It is said that when Sakyamuni Buddha came to Nirvana, the evil spirits took away the remains of the Buddha, and Weituo chased them in time and tried hard to recapture them. Therefore, Buddhism regards him as the God to expel evil spirits and protect Buddhism. Since the Song Dynasty, Chinese temples have worshipped Weituo, known as Weituo Bodhisattva. They often stand behind the Maitreya Buddha statue and face the main hall to protect the Dharma and help monks.

(about the legend of Weituo) Weituo Bodhisattva and Sakyamuni Buddha were brothers in the past. In the past, there were 1000 sons who were brothers of the king of heilunsheng. After learning Buddhism, each of them made a vow. At that time, Bodhisattva Weituo said after hearing their vows, "when you practice and promote Buddhism, I will protect you and protect you. After you all become Buddhists, I will be the last one to become Buddhists." Later, the Thousand Sons of zhuanlunshengwang became our Thousand Buddhas. Sakyamuni Buddha was the fourth, and Weituo Bodhisattva was the last. His name was louzhi Buddha.
