Later, he left because of his different political views from his father. He wandered between Yishui and Luoshui. He worshipped Duke Fu Qiu as his teacher and studied Taoism in Songshan for more than 30 years. Daocheng chose a place for alchemy and found this "remote and leisurely" bochi mountain in the lower reaches of huaishui river. Childe Qiao built a platform for alchemy and dug a well under it. The well water was clean and sweet. After the gold elixir is refined, it feeds chicken and dog, and chicken and dog turn into Feng and Lin, and childe Qiao drives Feng and Lin to heaven

Related allusions

Bochishan park is named after the mountain, and lives because of the water. Bochi mountain "Panshu concave curve, shaped like a bowl", so people call it bochi mountain. In the Tang Dynasty, Du Guangting's Dongtianfudi Ji recorded that bochi mountain was listed as one of the "72 blessed places" of Taoism.

Li Bai's Huaiyin Shuhuai poem says: "feifu comes from the west, suitable for Jiaxing. Wang Qiaoxi's story is about his son Qiao's rise in alchemy in bochi mountain.

Cultural characteristics

At the foot of you is Jinghui temple, a thousand year old temple in bochi mountain. It is located at the north foot of the mountain. It was built in the Hongde period of song Taizu. It was originally called Hongfu temple and destroyed in the war. It was rebuilt in the orthodox period of the Ming Dynasty, which was of great scale and momentum. There are 24 corridors on both sides of the main hall and the great hall, with bell tower and Drum Tower at both ends. This is Pilu Pavilion. There are thousands of Buddha statues and a "towering" Sutra tower. A poem says: "the ancient temple is steep and the ancient road is connected, and the Sutra tower stands high for half a day.". Jinghui Temple used to be very famous, and Yingzong of Ming Dynasty personally granted five big words of "Chifeng Jinghui Temple".

Zhaoyin temple on the north side of bochi mountain was built in the early Longqing period of Ming Dynasty by Guodi, a Suzhou native who was named "wuyouzi". Guo Di, Zifu, was almost harmed by his opposition to the prime minister Yan Song, so he went to practice in bochi mountain. At that time, Chen Wenzhu, the magistrate of Huai'an, had a Buddha statue painted by Mi Fu, which read "Tathagata marrow, Sakyamuni bone, unknown to human beings, Maitreya Buddha". Mi Fu's calligraphy. Guo Chengqi was looking for someone to make a stone carving. This "stone carving of Buddha painted by Mi Yuanzhang" was placed in Zhaoyin temple.

From the distance, you can see Shanzi lake. The lake is clear and shallow, with lotus leaves floating, red oysters curling, white gulls rising and falling, and fishing sails appearing. On the lakeside, the reeds are rustling and the willows are hanging. There is a Banqiao bridge which can pass through the fishing village. It looks like a typical water scenery. There is a lotus Pavilion in the middle of the lake, which was built in the 53rd year of Kangxi. Inside the pavilion is a statue of Avalokitesvara, a legendary monk from the back of Yuntai mountain. Lotus flowers are widely planted around the pavilion, and Ling lotus flowers compete for fragrance, forming an interesting contrast. At the beginning of Qianlong, Huang Da said in the story of you Ailian Pavilion: "fifteen miles north of Huaiyin City, the water flows slowly, the trees are beautiful, there are Pavilion wings and uneven shadows, so it's named Ailian. It's covered by Zhou maoxu's poetry and looks beautiful."

Then there was a great change. In August 1774, the Yellow River was washed down from the old dam of Huaiyin. As a result, the Shanzi lake was silted up and the Ailian Pavilion in the water and the Jinghui temple on the mountain were all destroyed. After the flood, what people see is: Gangfu is still there, and the ruins of dantai and Danjing are all there, but they are "covered by dust and sand from the dry well, and left with debris from the deserted platform". Only the old pine and the wild grass are guarding the Danzao ruins.

Only one of the thousand Buddha statues in Jinghui Temple "sits in the loess". An old monk found the statue and worked hard to build three "zhangshilou" to offer the Buddha to the people upstairs. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu, Jinghui temple was rebuilt, but its scale was not as big as before.

Planning and construction

People have long been looking forward to building a bochishan park with Dakouzi as the center, which can restore the old view. The master plan of bochishan park has been put in front of us and is being implemented.

Bochishan park has a planning area of 92.4 hectares, including 554 mu of Dakouzi lake and many fish ponds. The scope of land use is bounded by Xiangyu Avenue, Zhuhai Road, Nanchang Road and Heping Road, and a 100 meter wide green corridor is reserved in the north to connect with the ancient Yellow River scenic belt. The river network in the area is well developed, surrounded by Li canal, Dazhai River and ancient Yellow River.

Relying on the historical legend of bochishan and the natural conditions of the water surface of bochishan (Dakouzi), the park under construction takes "one mountain and one water", "one ancient and one modern" and "one quiet movement" as its basic theme; in terms of style, the famous mountain takes Taoist architecture as its keynote, and the water takes modern facilities as its keynote. The landscape and entertainment facilities to be built include: bochishan and Huzhong Island, Hechi, bochishan Taoist buildings, xiaoyingzhou bota, folk street, bochishan shopping and entertainment complex, artificial forest, etc.

Relevant information

The statue of Avalokitesvara, originally in the lotus Pavilion, was also found by a monk named Wuzhi. Because of his request, three years after the flood, another Guanyin nunnery was built near here.

For nearly two hundred years after that, there were constant floods and frequent military affairs, and the victory of bochi mountain was wiped out. Only the red sand on the mountain is a good material for building houses, because after a long period of mining, the mountain gradually leveled to the ground.

However, the big pond (Shanzi Lake) formed by the flood at the foot of the north mountain is now like a shining mirror inlaid in the eastern suburb of Qinghe district.
