geographical environment

Shizhushan national 4A scenic spot is located in the west suburb of Fuqing City, Fuzhou, 10 kilometers away. It is famous for its beautiful rocks and bamboos, a famous Taoist mountain and a holy land for praying for dreams. The mountain is famous for its "stone can take pictures of cranes, and bamboos can make dragons if they want to rub the sky.". Looking from the East, Shizhu mountain is like a giant dragon, which is the symbol of "treasure land" in geomantic omen. Looking from the south, Shizhu mountain looks like an isosceles triangle, which is as majestic as the ancient Egyptian pyramids. People have to sigh about the miraculous work of nature. The stone bamboo temple on the mountain is built on the cliff. Looking up, it looks like a castle in the air. The orange tile cornice in the green cluster is surrounded by cigarettes, steaming clouds and spitting fog, which is really like a fairyland. Shizhu temple was built in the first year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (847 AD). For more than a thousand years, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism have coexisted harmoniously for a long time. The buildings in the temple also fully reflect the characteristics and styles of the three religions. Guanyin hall, Jialan hall, Xianjun building, Yuhuang palace and Wenchang Pavilion are built close to the mountain, which is dangerous but not surprising. The original name of Shizhu temple was Lingbao temple. Because of the rugged rocks around the temple and the abundant bamboo, it was renamed Shizhu temple. Shizhu temple is not only a thousand year old temple, but also a cultural resort with a long history. Famous people such as Zhu Xi, an agent scholar in Song Dynasty, Xu Xiake, a great traveler and geographer in Ming Dynasty, and Chen Baochen in late Qing Dynasty all visited here. So far, more than 20 cliff inscriptions have been left around since the Song Dynasty. Another wonder of Shizhu temple is the culture of praying for dreams.

Mountains are not high, but immortals are famous. Tianzi peak, the main peak of Shizhu mountain, is only 534.5 meters above sea level. However, because of the beautiful scenery on the mountain, it is especially suitable for monks and nuns to practice. Therefore, since the Han Dynasty, Taoist alchemists have been practicing alchemy here, and legends such as immortal Lin Huang riding a tiger have been handed down. It is said that the nine sons of he Renxia, the prefect of Fuzhou in the Han Dynasty, practiced alchemy in the mountains of Fuzhou. Later, they got the way from the fairy tour of Jiuli lake. They came to the stone bamboo mountain to show their spirits and give their dreams to the world, so as to eliminate disasters and bless the world. Therefore, there is a folk saying "pray for the stone bamboo dream in spring and ask for the nine carp sign in winter". Related to the culture of shizhushan dream are ye Xianggao, a Fuqing official in the cabinet of Ming Dynasty, Ma duo, the number one scholar in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty, Xu Xiake, a great traveler, Chen Baochen, a famous Minister of Qing Dynasty, SA Zhenbing, a famous Naval General in modern times, Lin Shaoliang, Lin Wenjing, Cai Yunhui, etc. With the successful examples of these high-ranking officials, cultural celebrities and Fuqing overseas Chinese at home and abroad, the effectiveness of Shi zhumeng is widely spread.

The Taoist culture in Shizhu mountain has many unique features, such as "one dream (praying for a dream), one lot (drawing lots), one spring (receiving spring), one wish (making a wish) and one birthday (protecting God of Yuanchen). Every year, many important religious activities and folk festivals are held in shizhushan. Let's say spring is coming, that is, to welcome the God and king of spring. Shizhu mountain has been regarded as the place of spring since ancient times. On the first day of spring every year, tens of thousands of believers come to Shizhu mountain, holding incense candles and kneeling down to worship. At that time, cigarettes are rising, candlelight is reflected in the sky, the mountains are covered with people, and pilgrims are winding into a fire dragon, forming a very spectacular cultural landscape.
