Gaizhu cave

Gaizhu cave

Located in xialukeng village, xunqiao Town, Linhai City, it is said that it is the 19th cave of Taoism. Gaizhu cave, also known as immortal cave in ancient times, is one of the birthplaces of Taoism in China. From Han Dynasty to Jin Dynasty, there were Taoist experts who went to the mountain to practice. As early as the Han Dynasty, Taoist Chen Zhonglin and other four people practiced Taoism in the mountains. Later, it was said that they got the Taoism and ascended to heaven. In the Jin Dynasty, Xu Mai, a Taoist, built a stone chamber in the bamboo cave and later renamed it Qizhen temple. Wang Shixing, a geographical historian of Linhai in the Ming Dynasty, said in guangzhiduo: "thirty miles south of Linhai, the 19th bamboo cave is built, which is the heaven of long glory." Du Guangting, a Taoist priest who once served as Prime Minister of Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, wrote in the book of Taoism that there were thirty-six caves and called Gaizhu cave nineteen. One day in the early summer of this year, I walked into Gaizhu cave with a kind of curiosity and leisure.

From the city, drive through xunqiao town to Jiangshan, pass Chengjia village, baiyanxia village and Yangao village. Yangao village is located at the mouth of a mountain depression. Beside a stream, there is an ancient camphor which is neither strong nor luxuriant, but it has graceful branches. Looking at the ancient tree protection card hanging on the trunk, it is 350 years old. In the narrow stream, there are stone steps, which complement the ancient camphor. On the other side of the road, there is a "Chaowen three-stage power station". Pass Yangao village, turn left along Xiaoni trail, and meander along the edge of Shanao. From time to time, you can see a lot of loquat trees, which are full of fruits. In xialukeng village, there are only old farmhouses on the roadside. There are no farmers and no barking dogs. Bamboo and wood on both sides of the road, very quiet. In the mountain stream, the running water is roaring; in the paddy field beside the stream, frogs are singing, which sets off the tranquility of the mountain Ao. At the foot of the hill on the left side of the path, there is a Gaizhu temple. You can go up the path beside the temple to Gaizhu cave.

It is said that there is a mountain in the west of xunqiao town called Yangshan, and the village at the foot of the mountain is named Yangao village. Because the bamboo cave is built from Yangao village and enters the mountain, it is also called Yangao cave by local people. From Gaizhu temple, you can climb up the mountain road built by stones and pass the farmhouse. You can see a steep rock peak on the top of the mountain. When I saw that there were farmers working along the road, I inquired by the way. It was confirmed that Gaizhu cave was locally called yang'ao cave. It was said that it would take less than half an hour to get there. For those who are used to riding on donkeys, this mountain peak, this distance and height are of course nothing, so I raised my legs and walked up the mountain. The mountain is relatively steep. The stone steps of the mountain road turn left and right, and there is little gentle place. Along the way are luxuriant forests and bamboos. In early summer, the mountains are green. Along the road, the maple trees, big and small, are not as strong and old as the maple trees in Yongfeng chaliao, but they are also numerous and dense. If they are full of fire in late autumn, they will have a unique scenery and fun.

I don't know if it's the weather, or if I'm in the deep woods, I feel cool. According to legend, because the mountain is covered with bamboo, it is green all the year round, and the spring is endless. "Bamboo is like a cover, so it's called" gaizhushan ". Along the way, from time to time there are continuous patches of green bamboo, which is worthy of the name. Far away and near the mountain, the eyes are green and full of vitality. Fresh air, but also with a trace of green leaves vigorous fragrance. In the trees along the mountain road, all kinds of birds are singing. It's like the world of birds is holding a music festival. Intoxicated, as an uninvited intruder, he was in a good mood and couldn't help whistling with their beautiful birds. Compared with the bird's gentle song, my whistle is very dry and unpleasant, but it can't hide my happiness.

The stone steps on the mountain road are simple and clean. In the roadside trees, small animals pass leisurely from time to time. Small animals are smart and agile. They should be rabbits or squirrels. I saw their figure swaying, and then saw the branches slightly shaking. On the way, take a break. Looking back at the green hill on the opposite side, it is also "bamboo in the middle of the mountain, pine in the middle of the mountain, thick scenery in the bamboo forest", a glimpse of indigo naturalis. The most strange is a mountain in the west, which looks like a sleeping monkey. The shape of the mountain peak is very similar to that of the monkey head. From a distance, you can even see a pair of eyes of the monkey. It's really amazing that nature is so skillful.

Go up in one go, cool morning, I was sweating. In the twinkling of an eye, I came to a bamboo forest, covered by green bamboos, and a building in the dark, that is, a bamboo cave. Looking at the time, it took less than 20 minutes to climb Gaizhu mountain, which is less than 500 meters from the foot of the mountain to the cave.

Outside the cave, there is a stone tablet named "Gaizhu cave, a cultural relic protection unit in Linhai City". After walking through a two-story corridor house, the one built on the cliff is to build a bamboo cave.

In front of Gaizhu cave, there is a deep stream. The cliff on the left is like a incense burner, and the cliff on the right is like a sword pointing to the sky. The so-called "incense burner peak on the left, sword rock on the right" and "a lion squatting in the sky, opening its mouth to open a huge valley." Built in a bamboo cave, Qizhen temple was built inside Shikou. The front hall outside the cave is a two-story building with three and a half rooms on the plane. It goes up the right side of the front hall, with a monument standing on one side, recording the deeds of Xu Zongda (1926-2007), the 23rd generation descendant of Longmen Zhenzong, a native of Huangyan Jinqing quanlao Village, and a Taoist priest of gaizhudong prison since 1984.

There is a wall built in the southeast of the cave, and the word "bamboo cave" is written on the door of the cave. Entering the cave gate is the main hall in the cave, with three rooms on the plane. The front cave is wide and bright, and the rock wall is like cutting; on the altar, there are Taiyi immortal, Xuantian God, Leizu emperor, LV Dongbin and so on. On the right side of Qiandong, there is a stone tablet named "gaizhudong stele" and "gaizhushan Changyao Baoguang Taoist temple", which was written by Qi Zhaonan, Minister of rites in 1766. The inscription was written by yuan Yangyue, Taoist gaizhudong, who asked him to describe his victory and history. It is a pity that there is a large area of damage in the upper left corner of the tablet. After the cave top rock from time to time there are Rock Springs falling, Dida, known as "holy lion spirit birthday.". According to Feng gengxue's Tainan cave forest annals in the Qing Dynasty, "the cave is spacious and mysterious, in which the rock spring drops, the East and the West are uncertain, and each person inherits it by hand and responds with auspiciousness." I also take it by hand for good luck.

There are not many pilgrims. There is a man sitting at the table in the cave, who is responsible for receiving pilgrims. Taoist is a local Datian, surnamed Yang, who came from Town God's Temple, Lin Hai Chengguan. From the conversation with Taoist Yang, we know that there are three Taoists in Qizhen temple, and the other two are from Guangdong and Wenzhou. On the left side of the cave, there is a bell. Taoist Yang said that there was a huge bell in the temple, which was more than 1000 Jin. But when the Cultural Revolution broke the four old times, not to mention the bell, even the temple buildings were destroyed. Another Taoist was in Guanzhong when he was seven years old. During the cultural revolution, guanruiren left and was driven down the mountain. Now he is an old man. Yesterday, because of his granddaughter Xuan, he just came to the mountain to make a vow. According to Yang Daoshi, there is another way to build a bamboo cave, which is from Jiangshan mountain. The mountain road is gentle, but it is much farther, about ten miles away. I think that road should be suitable for donkeys. If you have time, you might as well go.

In front of the Taoist table, there is a stack of printed "gaizhushan profile", which is free of charge, so that visitors can have a better understanding of gaizhushan's cultural history. "Tea, Jiamu of the south." Taizhou has a long history of tea planting, including gaizhushan tea and Linhai tea
