brief introduction

Wushan, also known as Wushi mountain, is 86 meters above sea level and has a tourist area of 25 hectares. In the eighth year of Tianbao in Tang Dynasty (749), it was named min mountain. Cheng SHIMENG, the prefect of the early Song Dynasty, was a mountain Ranger. He thought that this mountain could be compared with Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou of Taoism, so he called it daoshan. The east foot of the mountain is called the first mountain at the tianhuangling mountain, and the southwest foot outside the city is called Baotou mountain, also known as Baoping mountain. Wushishan grotesque rocks, quiet forest, natural shape Xiao. There are five scenic spots in Shandong, Shanxi, Shanyin, Shanyang and ridge. The 36 scenic spots are the most extraordinary, and are known as "Penglai fairyland". At the foot of Wushan mountain, daoshan pavilion was built by Cheng SHIMENG. He invited Zeng Gong, one of his predecessors and one of the eight great masters of Tang and Song Dynasties, to write a record of daoshan Pavilion, which describes the scenery of Wushan mountain and the features and customs of Fuzhou. Next to the daoshan Pavilion, there is a carved "tianzhangtai". In the Yuan Dynasty, saduzi once chanted the poem "tianzhangtaishangwanjiu" here. There are two strange stones in the east of daoshan Pavilion. The daoshan Pavilion is just the beginning of winter. The scenery in Fuzhou looks like late autumn. The autumn leaves are bright by the pavilion. The ancient banyan trees on Wushan mountain are still lush. The sun is shining down from the forest. Sitting in the Red Pavilion, you feel warm.

Wushi mountain named daoshan began in the Northern Song Dynasty. After thousands of years, it still follows the place names of daoshan Road, daoshanpu, daoshanguan, daoshanguanxiang, daoshanting and so on. Daoshan Pavilion is located in the middle of Wushi ridge. It's called daoshan Pavilion. "Daoshan Pavilion, one of the thirty-six wonders, is on the left of tianzhang platform," according to Guo bocang's Wushi mountain records in the Qing Dynasty. At the beginning of Xining in Song Dynasty, Cheng SHIMENG Jian, the Sheriff of the county. Cheng Gong took the Haimen gate in front of Wushi mountain to visit the city. He could compare with Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou, the three mountains on the sea. So he changed his name to daoshan. He built a daoshan Pavilion in the west of pantaowu on the mountain and wrote the word "daoshan Pavilion" to engrave stones. Zeng Gong wrote the story of daoshan Pavilion, and Lin Xi wrote it to all the steles. There is no monument in the back Pavilion. At the beginning of the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Hu'an and Miao Jing, the monks of Shenguang temple, were rebuilt one after another. Daoshan Pavilion and the story of daoshan Pavilion complement each other. The pavilion is famous for its beautiful text and its biography.

Daoshan Pavilion view

The existing daoshan pavilion was rebuilt in 1955, rebuilt in 1980 and renovated in 2008. The pavilion is octagonal, 12 meters long and 6 meters high, with blue stone relief stone foundation and cement floor. Double eaves angle, top decoration pumpkin. On the top, there are four stacked wells, one with three horizontal bars, two with longevity, three with arch and four with seven fold. The top of the well is like a covered bowl with a rose hanging in it.

All the wooden structures are decorated and painted with exquisite patterns. The pavilion is built on a high port composed of more than ten odd rocks and rocks. There are beauties in seven directions for visitors to rest and enjoy the cool. In the East, there are doors and 12 steps to the pavilion. The new pavilion "daoshan Pavilion" was inscribed by the calligrapher Wu Naiguang. There are two couplets, the door couplet: "the scenery is quiet in the tent, and the city's buildings are deep everywhere"; the column couplet in the pavilion: "the light of the river embraces thousands of mountains, the color of the trees is far away, and the shade of thousands of wells" is extracted from the poems of Guo Boxiang and Xu Ding, respectively, written by Zheng Shuxin, a man of Changle.

Daoshan Pavilion is surrounded by towering ancient trees, thick and gloomy, and rugged rocks. There are more than ten sections of cliff inscriptions in song, yuan and Ming Dynasties. An ancient banyan growing tenaciously on the cliff beside the stone path in the south of the pavilion is called "waterfall banyan". It is more than 100 years old and has been listed as the second level protected ancient tree in Fuzhou. The trunk of ancient banyan has a chest circumference of more than 6 meters, less than 1.5 meters from the ground, that is, one is divided into three parts. The height of the tree is no more than 15 meters, but the branches are well developed, with more than 18 branches. Most of them bend to the south, walk high and low along the steep stone wall, and stretch downward for more than 10 to 20 meters. Some of the branches cover the daoshan Pavilion. The whole tree crown is in an inverted herringbone shape, like a big umbrella supporting the sky. It's good to enjoy the cool under the big tree. There are many air roots in ancient banyan, and the air roots are connected with the trunk and branches of ancient banyan. In order to seek water and nourishment, the tree roots cover the rock wall with nets and stretch for more than ten meters, which looks like a waterfall pouring down on the smooth rock surface. It is so spectacular that "waterfall banyan" is named for it. On the west side of daoshan Pavilion, there is a natural granite, more than 2 meters high and shaped like a big seal. Three big characters of "tianzhangtai" are carved in the west, written by Cheng SHIMENG. Tianzhangtai is one of the 36 wonders of Wushi mountain. On the east side of daoshan Pavilion, there are two pieces of toad stones juxtaposed. How tall are they? They are like two squatting toads. One of them looks up at the sky with wide eyes, and the other is split by thunder. It's said that it wanted to eat swan meat all day long. Half of its head was cut off by thunder, and the remaining one didn't dare move. Cheng SHIMENG's seal script "daoshan Pavilion" is engraved on the chest and abdomen of the toad in the East. The inscription on the cliff faces north, 2.2 meters high, 0.85 meters wide and 0.7 meters in diameter. On the north side of the daoshan Pavilion, the full text of the story of daoshan Pavilion is engraved by Zeng Gong. On the cliff, it is inscribed in regular script, 2 meters high and 5 meters wide. In 2008, it was re engraved by Fuzhou Municipal People's government and written by calligrapher Zhang Qianhua.

People have always been fond of visiting daoshan Pavilion and taking a bird's-eye view of Fuzhou. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, the scenery described in the story of daoshan Pavilion is no longer the scene of "communication between the river and the harbor, boat carrying people belong to the gate day and night", and "hundreds of Buddhist palaces". Instead, it is the scene of high-rise buildings with different styles, crisscross roads, traffic, pedestrians and busy markets all night long. The ancient buildings of three lanes and seven lanes are still well preserved and full of vitality; the daoshan pavilion has been renovated, and the view of "the victory of mountains and rivers, the size of the city, the glory of the palace, without going down to the bed and doing the four instructions" is still the same.

The story of daoshan Pavilion

Zeng Gong (Northern Song Dynasty)

Fujian, therefore, is also attached to the Zhou Dynasty. In the Qin Dynasty, the land of Kaiqi was listed in China, and then Minzhong county. From the end of the Taimo period in Guangdong Province, and the Yuzhang period in Wu Dynasty, it was the channel. If the road is in Fujian, it will pass between the two mountains. The mountains are unbroken. The innumerable post is a flat land. It is a small county and a large state. However, its four branches are also mountains. Its way is either to go against the slope, or to hang down the cliff, or to hook up the side path on the unexpected stream: all the stones are steep, and then you can take a step. Although the wearer is a native, he can still enter after walking on his side. It's not a native, it's rare. When the river is running, the water will flow down from high, and the stones will flow out of it. It's like a forest, like a man riding in the wild, and there is no head or tail. When the water moves between its gaps, it may shrink and mix, or it may shoot sideways in a reverse direction. The shape of the water is like vermis, the shape of the nymph is like a wormhole, the shape of the water is like a wheel, and the shape of the water is like an arrow. Those who follow the boat are easy to throw, lose a cent and easily drown. Although the native place is long, the people who live in Sichuan are not born and used to water affairs, and dare not bow themselves to the boat. Such is the land and water risk. The Han Dynasty tasted the place between the Yangtze River and the Huaihe River, but the place was empty. It was covered with many obstacles?

Fuzhou Marquis, in Fujian for the soil, the so-called Fujian also. Its land is the most flat and wide in Fujian, and the mountains are far away. In the south of the Yangtze River (Minjiang River), the sea is in the East, and the city is covered inside and outside. There are ditches beside it to connect the tides. The boat belongs to the gate court day and night. There are many Jiemu at the foot of the mountain, and many skilled craftsmen. People are proud of the beauty of their houses. Although they are poor, they will live in abundance. The temples of Buddhists and Laozi are very prosperous. There are three mountains in the city: Min mountain in the west, Jiuxian mountain in the East and Yuewang mountain in the north. Its attached mountains cover hundreds of temples of Buddha and Lao Tzu, and its magnificent and unique appearance has been fully covered. Guangluqing and Zhizhao Wenguan Chenggong were the prefectures. When they won the title of Minshan, they were the pavilions. They were famous for their mountains, cities and palaces. Cheng Gong's view of climbing on the river and sea is comparable to the Taoist mountain of Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou, so he called it "Pavilion of daoshan". Fujian is dangerous and far away, so officials are often afraid to go. Because of the good place, Cheng Gong can enjoy his ears and eyes. He not only forgets that it is far away and dangerous, but also thinks of resisting it outside of Aite!

Cheng Gong's governance of the state is not only new to his city, but also new to his learning, and the rest of his work extends to this. Gai Qi was born in Guangzhou when he was old. He paid homage to Jianyi doctors, and also to Shizhong and Jixian halls. Now he is Yuezhou, a famous teacher named Meng Yun.

Jiayou Jinshi was once called to edit and proofread the books of the historical museum, and he was an official in Zhongshu.
