Main attractions

Yongqing Temple

On the south side of the peak of Chonglong mountain, it was built in an unknown time. It was rebuilt in Hongwu Period of Ming Dynasty, and was rebuilt in 1559. Yongqing temple has a large number of temples and houses. Standing in front of the temple, you can see the city scenery vividly. Just as the Ming censor Yang Shunyuan said in his poem, "the Castle Peak is in the space, the terrace is decorated with the palace of Vatican king, and the Yuanling mountain is just like a pearl in the sky." It describes its beautiful scenery truthfully.

There is a stone archway in front of the temple, which is called "Chonglong historic site". On both sides of the temple, there is a couplet saying: "Shuanghe Hengjiang River, the trace of Burmese immortal officials, baichi tower head looking for crane rack; Chonglong around the Guo, heel Mingxian site, Santai ferry looking at Longmen." On the back of the memorial archway was written "famous temple of Xishu". On both sides of the couplet said: "relying on the Han Lingyun, Xun is the western legal world; smelling the water, it is clear that the resort Caoxi."

After the archway is the "wenmingshengfu" archway, followed by the Tianwang Hall of Yongqing temple, with a double eaves octagonal pavilion. It is said that it was built in Song Dynasty as "Laihe Pavilion", behind which was built Putuo hall. There is an inexhaustible "Tianchi" behind the hall. Behind the Tianchi is the main hall, and on the right side is the moon pool.

Beiyan stone carving

It's on the north slope of Chonglong mountain. "The dictionary of Chinese places of interest" also states: "there are stone carvings in the Middle East, the west, the South and the north, and the carvings in the north are the most beautiful." Cliff statues are distributed between Junzi spring and the upper part of Gubei rock, with 160 niches and 1648 statues. There is Junzi spring between the North Rock and the wall, and there are three big characters of "calling fish pond" written by Su Dongpo.

Corresponding to Beiyan is yuhegou stone carving in the west of the city. Dongyan stone carvings of Luohan cave in the east of the city are also well-known. Among them, Dongyan's "Sakya Nianhua teaching map" is the only one in China. In the Tang Dynasty, Yan Lugong's calligraphy, ode to Tang Zhongxing, was the first calligraphy of his life. The original carving of Suxi has been destroyed. There are only two Jiange and Zizhong in Sichuan.

Come to crane Pavilion

The story of Laihe Pavilion is very popular. Although some local versions are different, Ding Lingwei, the hero in the legend, benefits the people and cultivates the immortal crane to return home. Later generations built Laihe Pavilion in memory of him. These legends are the same.

It is said that Ding Lingwei was born in Liaoyang. His official position was not big. He was a small official in charge of granary in Liaoyang. Although the official is not big, the power of grain is in his hands. At that time, there were three consecutive years of severe drought in the world. "In order to ensure that the royal family and officials in the capital would not go hungry, the emperor issued an imperial decree to send grain stored in granaries all over the country to the capital. When the imperial edict arrived in Liaoyang, Ding Lingwei was in a bad mood after receiving the imperial edict. When he came back home, he was in a sad mood. He didn't want to eat and tea. When his family asked the reason several times, Ding Lingwei just didn't speak.

Why did Ding Lingwei do this? Because he wanted to disobey the imperial edict and didn't want to send away the grain from the national treasury. He had made plans for a long time and could not watch the common people starve to death. In those days, not to mention three consecutive years of severe drought, even one year, the common people could not stand it. Over the past three years, the common people have suffered a lot. They are short of fortune telling when they are poor, and no one cares if they starve to death. In order to survive, they had to sell their children and women. In this way, starving bodies were everywhere.

Ding Lingwei saw the disaster of the common people with his own eyes, and his heart was as bitter as a knife. What kind of world is this? The grain would rather rot in the warehouse of the capital, regardless of the common people's life or death, what's the reason? Ding Lingwei would rather die on the common people than live in the hands of the HunJun. He said firmly: "Liaoyang grain can not be sent away, open warehouse to release grain!"

The granary was opened. According to Ding Lingwei's distribution, the grain was distributed to the poor people in the four townships. This is really unexpected. The common people worship Ding Lingwei as a living Bodhisattva to save the suffering. From then on, Ding Lingwei's reputation was earth shaking, and the news soon spread to the capital. But the emperor was so angry that he kicked down the Dragon case and ordered Ding Lingwei to go to Beijing.

Ding Lingwei understood that he had to chop his head when he came to Beijing, which he had expected for a long time. But Ding Lingwei didn't go. He said to the imperial envoy, "I'm from Liaoyang. I'm in love with Liaoyang people. If I want to die, I'll die in Liaoyang." He pushed the edict back. The imperial court sent an imperial envoy with a large group of people to chop Ding Lingwei's head. At that time, it was in the middle of winter, the northwest wind was howling, and the snow was flying all over the sky. Ding Lingwei was tied to the Dharma court, and his head could not land until three guns were fired at noon.

People from far and near braved the north wind, smoke and snow, and poured into the Dharma hall like the tide. One by one, tears are streaming down their faces. Who can save the merciful living Bodhisattva? Seeing that the life-saving benefactor is going to die, if they can't repay the great kindness, they should have a good look. The Dharma court is blocked.

Just before noon, the first shot was over, and then the second shot. People's hearts were about to jump out. At this time, a crane flew from the sky. It spread its wings and landed steadily on the Dharma court. With its sharp beak, it broke Ding Lingwei's rope. The third cannon rang. When the executioner came with a steel knife, Ding Lingwei had already sat on the back of the crane, and the crane spread its wings and flew to the sky. It's too late for the executioner to stop. When the crane flies to Lingbo mountain, Ding Lingwei sees tall temples from a distance. The mountains are covered with emerald cypresses and pines. The crane falls steadily, and Ding Lingwei comes down from the crane's back. Suddenly, the crane flapped its wings twice and became an old Taoist.

The Taoist priest has snow-white hair, silver whiskers on his chest, bright eyes under his two sword eyebrows, and a clean green Taoist robe. He looks very immortal. Ding Lingwei understood: the elder was transformed into a crane to save himself. He knelt down on his knees, kowtowed and said, "thank you for saving your life!" the elder helped Ding Lingwei up and said, "this is the result of your benefit for the people." then he walked into the temple door together.

It seems that the elder is only in his sixties, but actually he is 108 years old. He is the elder of Cihang in Lingbo mountain. He is an elder with high virtue. He deeply sympathized with Ding Lingwei's experience. He must not see a person who benefits the people be killed innocently. Therefore, he went to Huahe to rescue Ding Lingwei and took him as his apprentice. Ding Lingwei deeply felt the elder's kindness. He practiced hard every day and finally became an immortal. The immortals also miss their hometown. One year, Ding Lingwei turned into a crane, flew back to his hometown and landed on the Huabiao pillar in Nanshan, Liaoyang. When people saw this crane, they were very surprised. They only heard it stand on the pillar of Huabiao and sing, "I was Ding Lingwei. I miss my hometown mountains and waters, green mountains and green waters, and people are not, so I should not go back!"

This song, spread all over the world, people rushed to tell each other: "Ding Lingwei became an immortal in those days! The crane on the Huabiao pillar is Ding Lingwei!" Huabiao pillar is surrounded by a sea of people. The crane looks at the visitors, nods to the people, and then spreads its wings to fly. After a few circles in the air, it flies to Qianshan and stops by the stream in front of today's zuyue temple. In order to commemorate Ding Lingwei, later generations built a hexagonal Memorial Pavilion at the place where the crane stopped, named Laihe Pavilion. This is the famous "Laihe Pavilion" in Qianshan.
