Millennium Buddhist holy land

As early as one thousand years ago in the reign of emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty, there was a triple Hall of "taipeng Temple". The main hall of Jingfu temple, which was completed and opened in 2006, can be seen ten miles away, echoing the five thousand year old temples in taipeng mountain.

The main hall covers an area of more than 1000 square meters. It is one of the most magnificent main halls in northern Sichuan. Inside the temple, the prayer flags are hunting and the sound is loud. Every year during the temple fair, believers flood into mount taipeng to worship Buddhism and pray for longevity. The sound of bells and firecrackers can be heard for ten miles.

Taipeng Mountain Buddhism flourished in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Ming Dynasty. Since ancient times, Jingfu temple has been known as "one of the Ten Kingdoms, and nine kingdoms above.". Lunar February, June, September 19 for the Chaoshan meeting period, Chaoshan visitors tens of thousands, an endless stream. According to reports, Jingfu temple was founded in the first year of Wende (888 A.D.) of emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty, and was named Puji temple. In the first year of Jingfu (892 AD) of emperor Zhaozong of Tang Dynasty, Jingfu temple was built at the site of Puji temple. It is reported that Chen Cairen, the natural mother of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, was born in Pengzhou. She came to Jingfu temple to pray for incense and gave birth to Prince Zhao Ji. Therefore, people think that the Bodhisattvas in taipeng mountain are very smart and respond to every request. For more than a thousand years, Jingfu temple has been destroyed and built by repeated wars. According to the old annals of Yingshan, the emperor of Song Dynasty gave it the name of "Jingfu Chan yuan". In the second year of emperor Mu Zong of the Ming Dynasty (1568 AD), Zhuo Xi, a master of Taixu, rebuilt the main hall of Jingfu temple, including three rooms, wing rooms, Ke Liao, Chan hall, and Xiang Ji, covering an area of tens of acres. The temple is magnificent, with solemn Buddha statues and vivid expression. Before liberation, the abbot of Jingfu Temple belonged to the Legalist School of Zhaojue temple in Chengdu. Unfortunately, in 1958, the temple was engulfed by mountain fire. It was not until 1978 that Jingfu temple was rebuilt. It has gone through many hardships and vicissitudes. Today, Jingfu temple has a lot of sound and incense. This millennium old temple adds an ancient and mysterious color to taipeng mountain.

The twelve peaks of taipeng can be seen from afar. From the east gate along the stone ladder path, the four characters "Ziqi Donglai" stand face to face. Here, you can hear the pines, take the pines' shadows, walk in the corridor, and see the caves one after another. Qianfoyan is a cliff statue of Tantric school engraved in the middle of Tang Dynasty. It is exquisitely carved. The Buddha statues are arranged in order, with different expressions and lifelike, reaching hundreds of statues. Transparent rock is connected with holes, so it is also called "chuanyandong". It is also called "dwelling rock" because of the fact that Er Zhu of Sui Dynasty lived here and practiced Taoism and alchemy. Xiushiyan is the reading place of Li Tewei, commonly known as "the emperor's reading desk". Under the rock, there are stone beds, stone tables and stools, and the environment is leisurely. Eastward through the transparent rock, it is said that the 12 immortals became immortals. A few miles to the west of transparent rock, there is a Shilu pagoda, which is the cemetery of Huixing Zhigong, abbot of taipeng temple. It was built in the fourth year of Xianfeng in Qing Dynasty. There are 27 relief carvings on the seven level six square pagoda, including Shami holding auspicious fruit, artists playing "Lotus falling" and birds and animals. It is very attractive.

Hyaline rock

The mountains here are very steep and the scenery is unique. Many poets and poets in the past dynasties have left a title here to write Fu. At the north end of the transparent rock, the stone wall is also the entrance. There are three big characters of "transparent rock" written by Ren Huilin, governor of the Tang Dynasty.

Transparent rock has two characteristics

One is that it has a huge cave through the rock, which is about ten meters long and transparent at both ends. The cave runs from west to East, and there is a deep gully in the West. The cliff is about 1.5 meters below the east exit. The view here is wide, and it can reach the Chengguo Tianchou hundreds of miles away and the crystal clear Xiaoshui River in front of the mountain. But sooner or later, it is different. It has a sense of seclusion and "transparent rock" Hence the name. There is a couplet carved on the stone wall at the entrance of the cave: "if there is a door but no door, it is for Buddhism. If it is a cave but not a cave, it will become a fairy cave." it means that all the Buddhism and Taoism can be practiced here. The cave is about three meters high, with a vast interior. In front of the cave, there are two double dragon pools. The mountain spring flows into the pool through the rock gap. It turns into yellow and black water. It has a clear distinction and does not dry up all the year round. Because the caves are connected and run through, they are also called through caves. It is said that when King Cheng of Zhou Dynasty was in power, ge you and other 12 people flew up here, leaving behind the "Feixian bridge".

Second, the four walls around the rock are all kinds of stone carvings, mainly including Moyan statues, Buddhist classics, inscriptions, poems, travel notes, etc. Among them, there are 56 niches of Moyan statues in the Tang and Song Dynasties, and 63 cliff carvings with a length of about 600 meters and an area of 200 meters, including 8 in the Tang Dynasty, 1 in the Five Dynasties, 35 in the Song Dynasty, 2 in the Yuan Dynasty, 7 in the Ming Dynasty, 8 in the Qing Dynasty and 2 in the Republic of China. The inscription is only a few centimeters. Among the numerous stone inscriptions, regular script is the most, with the largest diameter of 1.2 meters and the smallest of only a few centimeters. Among the numerous stone inscriptions, the Tang Dynasty stone inscription Anlu mountain niche is the most interesting one for historians and tourists.
