Entering Qingyuan mountain, the first thing to pass is a stone bridge in front of the mountain. It is said that as long as people cross this bridge, they will be predestined with the Buddha. Everything will be well and everything will be prosperous, so it is called "Wanshan bridge". The Red Pavilion with the plaque of "Qingyuan mountain" written by Wen Tianxiang is located at the south end of the bridge. It is the first gate of Qingyuan mountain. More than 600 meters ahead of the Red Pavilion, we arrive at the second Mountain Gate, which is engraved with the word "holy land" inscribed by Shi Runzhang. Unfortunately, this gate was destroyed in the cultural revolution. About 500 meters ahead, you will arrive at the third Mountain Gate, on which there is "zuguan" inscribed by Yan Zhenqing. On its left is the waiting moon bridge and on its right is the windward bridge. Wanshan bridge, Daiyue bridge and Yingfeng bridge are three famous bridges across Qingyuan river. Under the bridge, the water is clear and the fish and shrimp are chasing and playing in the water. Qingyuan river originates from the mountain bamaokeng in Qingyuan, and enters Ganjiang River through Jingju temple, hugang, Yungang and Qingshi bridge. In 1976, members of Hedong people's commune carried forward the spirit of Yugong's moving mountains, opened mountains and canals, and introduced the water of Qingyuan River into Shantang reservoir, Laohukeng reservoir and houtang reservoir, thus forming an irrigation system covering two-thirds of Hedong farmland, which not only increased the irrigation area of the river dozens of times, but also provided rich resources for the development of urban tourist attractions in Qingyuan district The water resources of our country.

When the moon bridge passes, the former site of Yangming academy, Qingyuan villa, Ji'an Forestry Research Institute, etc. Qingyuan mountain is not only a famous Buddhist mountain, but also a famous cultural mountain, known as "the convergence of Confucianism and Buddhism, the intersection of Jing and Xing". During the Zhengde period of Ming Dynasty (1506-1521), Wang Yangming, the magistrate of Luling County, believed in "mind learning" and preached in Qingyuan mountain, becoming the birthplace of Neo Confucianism. During the reign of Jiajing (1522-1566), Qingyuan guild hall was established beside Jingju temple; in the 19th year of Daoguang (1839), Lu Chunru, the magistrate of Ji'an, built Yangming Academy on the north side of Daiyue bridge in Qingyuan mountain to discuss Wang Yangming's theory, which is known as "the nation of Neo Confucianism". In 1930, the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army successively established the third branch of the Red Army and the rear hospital of the Red Army in the Academy; from 1939 to 1948, the provincial Ji'an middle school and the national No.13 middle school successively moved to Yangming Academy.

Qingyuan villa, a villa hotel, provides tourists with a place for leisure, entertainment and accommodation. There is a 10 lane, 50 meter long open-air swimming pool in the museum. The stream flows in from the upper end of the pool and flows out from the lower end. It is clean all year round. When people join in it and accept the embrace of blue sky, clear water, green mountains and fresh flowers, they will surely feel what is the real unity of nature and man, and return to simplicity.

Due to the large forest area and many plant species in Qingyuan mountain, Ji'an Forestry Research Institute was established here in the early days of the people's Republic of China. The Institute is close to the kujiaotang reservoir and Shantang reservoir. Its lake and mountain scenery complement each other and become an important tourist attraction.

After the windward bridge, it is the famous Jingju temple. The reason why Qingyuan mountain can attract many tourists is that besides its beautiful mountains and rivers, it enjoys a high reputation in the Buddhist circles at home and abroad. The Jingju temple at the foot of the mountain is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with towering ancient trees, dusk drums and morning bells, and curling cigarettes. People are in a dream world. Since the seventh ancestor Xingsi practiced in anyin mountain and created the Dharma of "insight", it has become the center of Buddhism.

From the front of Jingju temple to Qingyuan River, the Diaoyutai Reservoir is rippling with green waves, and the boats are weaving. With the green mountains, green waters and pavilions around, it is really a fairyland on earth. Now it has been built into Qingyuan mountain playground. On the way, there are wooden fish pile, immortal writing, monkey watching the moon, Guanyin sitting lotus, youluoping reservoir and other scenic spots. They are lifelike and full of interest. It is said that their names have a beautiful legend.

From the playground, you can reach the top of the mountain behind the temple. There is a "Wanglin building", which is built to prevent forest fires. The building is more than 10 meters high, three stories up and down, and is hexagonal. From a distance, it looks like a pagoda. Standing on the corridor on the top floor of Wanglin tower, looking around, you can see the vast forest sea and undulating mountains. The tiger shaped ridge and elephant trunk mountain are even more lifelike. In addition, there are 35 pools, springs, streams and gorges in Qingyuan mountain. No wonder Yang Wanli, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, praised that "the first scenery in Jiangxi is mountains and rivers, and Qianxun Qingbi is Qingyuan.".

In the third year of Chongning (1104), Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty granted "Jingju Temple", which has been used for nearly 900 years. Wen Tianxiang, a national hero and poet of the Song Dynasty, wrote: "live fire and Zen bamboo shoots, clear spring and Buddha tea." In front of the night shadow lamp, Jiangxi Qizu family. Monk Jianzhen of the Tang Dynasty was hindered in his fifth eastward journey to Japan. He passed by Jizhou on his way back and stayed in Qingyuan mountain. He called it "he Kan's collection, the home of an old monk from yunwai". Jingju temple, with thousands of monks, has become a famous temple in Jiangxi Province and one of the main Buddhist temples in South China. The Qingyuan legal system formed by the seven patriarchs of Zen is one of the two legal systems of Southern Zen, and later developed into three schools: caodong sect, Yunmen sect and fayan sect. Later generations called these three schools "Zen and Qingyuan school". After hundreds of years of inheritance, only the caodong sect is outstanding, spread all over the south of the Yangtze River, spread to Japan, and become the orthodox Buddhism in Japan. Today, in Japanese Buddhism, Cao Dong accounts for about 70% of the total number of Japanese who believe in Buddhism, with as many as 8 million people. For many years, Japanese friends have come to Qingyuan to seek their roots and worship their ancestors.

Jingju temple has been revived and abolished many times in the past dynasties. Since 1984, the state has successively allocated huge funds to rebuild it according to its original appearance. By the end of 1989, the main project was completed. Now it has been listed as one of the key temples in China. Jingju temple has King Kong hall, Mahavira hall, Pilu Pavilion, dizang hall, nianfo hall, sutra building, Yaoshu hall, left and right Zen houses, covering an area of about 10000 square meters.

In 714, Huineng, the sixth patriarch of Nanzong Buddhism, sent his disciples Xingsi from Nanhua temple in Caoxi mountain, Shaoguan, Guangdong Province, to open a Buddhist hall here to recruit monks and promote the "dunfa" of Nanzong Buddhism. For a time, it became a Buddhist holy land in the south of the Yangtze River. Qingyuan mountain is also a famous cultural mountain all over the world.
