Landscape features

There are two reasons why Tianzhu Mountain is famous. First, it is adjacent to the Yangtze River, the main artery of China's water transportation, in the South and 80 kilometers away from Anqing, a famous city along the Yangtze River in the southeast. The scholars who visited Tianzhu Mountain in the past dynasties left many well-known poems. Second, the mountains are Cui Wei, the peaks stand upright, and the cliffs are listed. There are forty-two peaks such as Tianzhu and Feilai, sixteen rocks such as Qilin and Rongyao, fifty-three strange rocks such as Thunderbolt and parrot, seventeen cliffs such as Shixin and Qianzhang, twenty-five caves such as Baogong and Siyuan, and eighteen ridges, thirteen wells, seven passes, eight pools and forty-eight villages. Tianzhu Mountain has steep mountains and strange rocks, clear forests and springs, and deep and magnificent waterfalls. "Tianzhu Mountain records" says that Tianzhu Mountain "is full of strange peaks, strange rocks, barren caves and roaring springs." The grotesque rocks in Tianzhu Mountain are like a lion lying on the ground, like a dog watching the moon, like a parrot flying, or like a whale swimming. They are very lifelike and marvelous. What's more, waterfalls and flowing springs are all over the mountain. Every time after rain, in the deep valley of the secluded mountains, the clear spring is vast, with snow and jade, which is very spectacular. It can be seen that the unique natural scenery is the main reason why Tianzhu Mountain is famous. SANZU temple is the first scenic spot in Tianzhu Mountain tourist area, which was built in Nanliang. According to legend, the famous monk Baozhi of the Southern Dynasty was the founder of the three ancestral temples. Near the temple, there are famous places such as Baogong cave and zhuoxiquan. The cave is where monk Baozhi lives, and the spring is dug by monk Baozhi.

In the Sui Dynasty, some monks came to preside over the temple, and the temple gradually expanded. Seng can is the third biography of Zen Buddhism. The name of SANZU temple comes from this. It is said that later, the sangcan bullet master "Lihua" died under the big tree in front of the temple. There is a Lihua tower in front of the temple for people to visit.

SANZU temple is also called Valley Temple. In the west of the temple there is a valley full of boulders. It is a famous scenic spot near SANZU temple, known as "Valley spring". Huang Tingjian, a poet and calligrapher of the Northern Song Dynasty, once studied here and was infatuated with the beauty of the valley, so he called himself "Taoist of the valley". He has a poem about the beautiful scenery of the valley. "The water is cold and goes north, and the mountains are all around. If you want to be poor, but you can't, you are disappointed to come back empty. "

The Shiniu river at the foot of the mountain has steep but not very high rock walls on both sides, undulating bedrock at the bottom of the valley, gurgling water, wide and secluded valleys, and only the south side is open with the stream. There is a stone cave in the valley. In front of the stone cave, there is a huge stone shaped like a crouching cow, which is called "ancient stone cow cave". There are more than 280 stone inscriptions in the 200 meter long Shiniu Valley, including the Tang and Song Dynasties to the early Republic of China, especially in the Song Dynasty. There are many works of famous artists, such as Li Ao and Li Dexiu in the Tang Dynasty, Wang Anshi and Huang Tingjian in the Song Dynasty, and Hu zanzong in the Ming Dynasty. The portrait of Huang Tingjian sitting on a stone ox painted by Li Gonglin, a contemporary painter of Huang Tingjian, is carved on a large stone, which is still clearly visible. Huang is one of the four great calligraphers in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Li is a famous painter in the same period. This stone carving is a rare stone carving of ancient poetry and painting in China, which has high cultural value. Nearby, the flowers and trees are luxuriant and the valley is flowing.

To the east of Shiniu River, there are some famous places, such as the valley temple, the site of jiyuehou, the site of Zhenyuan palace and so on. Valley Temple, also known as SANZU temple, is the most famous ancient temple in Tianzhu Mountain. It was first built in Nanliang. It was said that Jie, the third ancestor monk of Zen in Sui Dynasty, came to the temple. There are a lot of buildings in the temple. Now there are only Sutra collection building, a few side rooms and jueji tower standing in the temple. Huang Tingjian, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, was deeply in love with the scenery in the valley. He often sat on the stone to read and write poems and called himself "Valley Taoist".

Jueji pagoda is the pagoda of SANZU temple. It was built in 746, the fifth year of Tianbao in Tang Dynasty. Today, it was rebuilt in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty. It has been more than 400 years. The tower is about 30 meters high. It is an octagonal seven story Pavilion style building, with a bucket arch cornice and a pleasant wind chime. According to reports, the wall of the pagoda was once engraved with poems by Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, about his visit to the SANZU temple, which has disappeared. The heart of Jueqi tower is hollow, with stone steps to climb. Among the peaks of Tianzhu Mountain, the highest, the largest and the strangest are Tianzhu peak. Tianzhu peak, commonly known as "zhuzijian", is located in the center of the mountain area. It is a solitary peak protruding out of the sky. Its whole body is covered with stone and bone, just like Qingtian Yuzhu. The mountain is 800 meters high, and it is extremely steep. Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, has a poem praising: "a pillar of heaven holds the sun and the moon, and the gate of the cave locks clouds and thunder." Due to the terrace like structure of the mountain, Tianzhu peak, the highest peak, is invisible at the foot of the mountain. After climbing the 1770 level "TIANTI" to the third floor of the platform to worship the mountain, a peak suddenly appears in front of us, which is the unique landscape of the famous "Zhongtian Yizhu". Standing at the foot of the peak and looking up, I can see that Tianzhu peak is bare and bare, with jagged stone bones, straight up to the clouds, with a great trend of dust. It has a very steep slope, which most visitors can't climb. It's rare for other famous mountains. So it's said that "Tianzhu returns without looking at the peak". Among the cliffs, there are some stone inscriptions, such as "isolated Qingxiao" and "Zhongtian Yizhu", which are written on the top of the cliff, and "indomitable" which are written under the cliff. Tianzhu peak, 1900m above sea level, is the highest of all peaks in Anhui Province. The famous fruit of Tianzhu is true.

A pillar in the sky, a powerful Town, and a great achievement. If we only talk about heaven and earth, who knows how to make great achievements. To the south of Tianzhu peak, there are many famous and dangerous peaks in Tianzhu Mountain. Such as Feicai peak, Tianshi peak, Lianhua peak, Fupen peak, Guanyin peak, Heihu peak, etc.

Feilaifeng is very unique. It has no cracks and is as smooth as jade. On the top of Feilai peak lies a flat Boulder, about 70 meters in circumference, about 3 meters in height, and about 20 meters in diameter. The edge of the boulder is folded like a hat, like a crown, like a cover. It seems to be flying from outside. It is called "Feilai stone" because it is strange. Feilai peak ranks second among the peaks in Tianzhu. The nearby "xueya waterfall" is a spectacular sight, with Bai Lian hundreds of meters high descending from mid air. The nearby snow cliff waterfall is hundreds of meters high and falls from high altitude, which is spectacular.

The third peak of Tianzhu is the Tianshi peak where the giant lion crouches. There is a stone at the top of the peak, which is called "lion stone". Shikou out of a feldspar, its shape like a tongue, known as "cliff tongue stone.". Tianshi peak and the peak covered basin, for a narrow stream, lingxiaohan, bottomless, known as the "door.".

Lotus peak shape if lotus, mazu'an peak, also known as Foguang temple, was built in the Tang Dynasty. The flowers and trees in the vicinity of the nunnery compete for glory, and there are many wonderful stones and things like Xiao Ren. Mazu'an of the three nunneries is built on a "Qilin rock" about 100 meters high.

Duxian bridge at the top of Tianchi peak is another wonder of Tianzhu Mountain. At the top of the mountain, the huge cliff is open in the middle, with two stones in the middle. It is only five meters wide and faces a deep valley. When people walk on it, they are scared. If they have no courage and will, it is difficult to cross this bridge, so it is also called "heart test bridge". There is a spring beside the bridge, which has not dried up for a long time. It is called "Tianchi Zhongfeng" because of this.

There is Siyuan cave in the south of Duxian bridge. The stone on the top of the cave is as big as a city. It can hold ten thousand people in the cave. There are stone ladders, stone railings, stone beds, stone tables, stone Deng and stone stoves carved by predecessors at the entrance of the cave. They are exquisite and practical, and can be used for sleeping, cooking and cooking. Sitting in the cave watching the moon swallowing the strange peaks and the stars near the window, it's very comfortable.

Tianzhu pine, which is rooted in the rock fracture, has different forms and is not less attractive than Huangshan pine. Tianzhu Mountain has two beautiful sceneries: clear snow and sea of clouds. Snow is not snow, but white quartz sandstone exposed in the shade. In the sunlight, crystal clear like snow, so the Ming poetry said: "thousands of years of snow does not disappear, may and June cold permanent residence."

Xiguan village is located in the southeast of Tianzhu peak. It is the base site of the Southern Song Dynasty Peasant rebel hero Liu Yuan jiezhai's resistance to the Yuan Dynasty. There are stone inscriptions of Liu Yuan for reference. At the end of Ming Dynasty, Zhu tongkai and Yu Gongliang also held the banner of "opposing Qing Dynasty and restoring Ming Dynasty". There are thousands of cliffs and strange rocks, and there is a bird path leading to the top of the ancient mountain. Xiguan
