Ayuta

Ayuta

Ayuta is located in longyuankou Town, Yongxin County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, near the world-famous "longyuankou great victory" site, hundreds of meters away from longyuankou reservoir.

The body of the tower is like a tower but not a tower. The reason why it is not a tower is that it is a towering and huge stone peak; the reason why it is a tower is that it looks like a tower and a tower is built on the top of the mountain. It's a marvelous and rare natural wonder in China. During the tour, it seems that Zhu De is leading the Red Army soldiers to fight bloody battles with a machine gun. It sounds like "in May, it's the Dragon Boat Festival, and Qixiling is the battlefield at the bottom.". The red ballad of "beating Jiangxi two sheep (Yang)" has a beautiful melody. The former colorful war has turned into red azaleas, luxuriant in the mountains and fields, like the burning clouds swaying in the wind.

historical origin

Ayuta, Wanli of Ming Dynasty and Yongxin county annals of Guangxu of Qing Dynasty all have records: "the stone peak is like a tower, towering over the cliff, and falling down the deep, accompanied by flying stones. The Buddhist scriptures call the stupa 84000, which is one of them

In this passage, "flying stone" and "relic tower" appear. What does it mean? Let's start with feilaishi, which is close to ayuta and has a strange shape. There is a magical legend about its origin. It is said that Canglong River in longyuankou goes upstream to Moxi mountain. There is a hidden dragon pool in Moxi mountain. At the turn of spring and summer, a ferocious Canglong comes out to make waves, causing mountain torrents and inundating nearby villages, fields and vegetable gardens. The villagers were very anxious, but they had nothing to do. Some people began to plan to move their families or wander around. One year, Canglong was making trouble again, and was discovered by a passing immortal. His magic could not subdue the dragon, so he had to report it to heaven. After hearing this, the Jade Emperor asked the Buddha to practice the Dharma. The Tathagata Buddha came to the foot of the five elements mountain and kicked a stone peak, which was like a sharp pagoda, into the hidden dragon pool. He put the dragon in the deep pool and would never turn over. Because the Tathagata exerted too much force, he flew up with another huge stone and landed on the side of the stone peak. This stone is called Feilai stone, and that stone peak is ayuta of course. So what is the meaning of the stupa? In 273 B.C., Asoka, the grandson of Chandragupta, the peacock king of India, finally succeeded to the throne after killing 99 brothers. In his early years, Asoka was bloodthirsty and fought for years, killing people. He once personally led an expedition to the country of jalinga along the coast of Bangladesh, resulting in the tragedy of 100000 people being killed and 150000 people being taken away. But as he grew older, Asoka's hidden conscience and Buddha nature gradually suppressed his fanatical desire for power and murderous spirit. Determined to convert to Buddhism, he began to actively send a number of Buddhist missions to all parts of the country and surrounding countries to spread Buddhism, build temples, and build 84000 stupas dedicated to Buddhist bones. Ayuta is one of the 84000 pagodas built by King ayuta.

Landscape introduction

Ayuta is 180 meters high and 800 meters in circumference. There are several Buddhist temples built on the hillside, which are filled with incense day and night. Following the rugged path cut from the cliff, you have to grasp the chain next to the dangerous place with your hand. It's like a gust of mountain wind, and the whole person will fall into the deep valley. It's not a long distance, but it takes more than 10 minutes, sweating and panting. Up to the peak, there is a small temple, facing south. There is an endless stream of worshippers every year. The tower is the most effective. Around the back of the temple gate, there is a narrow rest platform. Although surrounded by railings, but the probe overlooking, only to see cliffs, clouds floating curl, frightening. After a short rest, while bathing in the mountain breeze and enjoying the beautiful scenery, I began to feel as calm as water, fresh and fresh, and felt like a rising immortal. On the top of the temple, the local believers built a small and exquisite tower, which is really in line with the meaning of ayuta.

Ayuta is a tall pagoda with many strange stones. On the top of the pagoda is a small temple with an iron shrine dedicated to Bodhisattvas. The iron tiles on the top of the temple are all offered by believers. At the waist of the mountain ridge pagoda, there are five Buddhist temples, which are used for Buddha statues. To get to ayuta, you need to use the iron chain attached to the cliff. It is 40 meters away from the top and has 10 sections. On the iron chain, there is a piece of iron plate, engraved with the words "on the auspicious day of winter in the year of bingxu, Guangxu, the 56th capital of Xixiang, the ninth wife of Wucha, Yin's family, leads his nephew Guangqing to offer.". Climbing 10 meters from here, there is a huge rock, named feilaishi, surrounded by vines and trees. Ayuta, with its magnificent scenery, has attracted many literati of all ages to climb the peak to enjoy the scenery, recite poems and paint.
