Miaogaotai

Miaogaotai, also known as the sun by the Taiwan. "Miaogo" is a free translation of Sanskrit "Xumi". Liu's "Jinshan annals" (Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang) states: "miaogaotai is behind the Jialan hall. The Buddha seal of youseng in the song and Yuan Dynasties carved a cliff for it. It is more than ten feet high. There is a pavilion on it. It is called shaikotai." As another saying goes, "miaogao Taijiang river is as bright as a mirror.". Miaogao Taitung, southwest of the three sides are cliffs, clouds four, such as home fairyland. When Jinshan is in the middle of the river, it can overlook the Yangtze River on all sides. At this point, the water flowing eastward is split head-on by the Jinshan of the Jasper floating river, which is divided into two streams and gallops eastward, with a magnificent appearance. The poem miaogao peak written by louyao in Song Dynasty: "one peak is higher than the clouds, overlooking thousands of mountains in the southeast, trying to turn round stones to Gangtou, and I don't know when it will come to the world.". After several times of rise and fall, the monks in Ming Dynasty were moderate, and Xue Shu in Qing Dynasty was rebuilt. In AD 1948, it was destroyed in the same way as the main hall of Jinshan Temple and the Sutra collection building. Today's miaogaotai is rebuilt by master Cizhou in 1991.

Song Cai Tao's "tieweishan congtan" records: Dongpo Gong and his guests visited Jinshan in the past. On a moderate autumn evening, the sky was hanging all around, and there was a boundless blue sky. With the river flowing and the Russian moon as bright as day, they climbed to the wonderful platform on the top of Jinshan mountain and ordered (yuan) to sing a song. His "shuidiagetou" said: "when will the bright moon be, ask the sky for wine." After singing, Poe began to dance, and the consultant said, "this is the immortal." Today, on the wall beside miaogao stage, there is Su Shi's famous song "water melody".

When will the moon come? Ask Qingtian about the wine. I don't know what season it would be in the heavens on this night? I want to take advantage of the wind to go back, but I'm afraid the tall buildings will be too cold. Dancing to clear the shadow, it's like being in the world! The moon rounds the red mansion Stoops to silk-pad doors, Shines upon the sleepless Bearing no grudge. Why does the moon tend to be full when people are apart? People may have sorrow or joy, be near or far apart, the moon may be dim or bright, wax or wane, This has been going on since the beginning of time.

Who believes that pingruo is like a stone, Taichung's old Picchu has blue eyes and a few windows Bhikkhu said, "if you have no time to learn in your long life, please do not die.". Dongpo is poetic. If you want to go to Penglai to learn immortality, you'd better go to Jinshan to meditate with Buddha seal monk.

I'm sad, I'm in joys and sorrows, and I'm in the moon, The poem was written by disciple you, who was pregnant with his disciples, to express his elegance and to be the best singer of all ages. "

Historical evolution

Miaogaotai in the early Qing Dynasty

Beishou, jianqiyun nunnery. In 1726 (the fourth year of Yongzheng), the stone pagoda was built. In 1930, Chiang Kai Shek built a villa with a combination of Chinese and Western styles. There are one bungalows on both sides of the gate and one balcony with a flat roof. There are three two-story buildings behind the patio. The concrete corridor on the upper floor is connected with the balcony. A black plaque on a white background is placed in the middle door. The three characters "miaogaotai" are written by Chiang Kai Shek. Then there are three rooms. The walls are integrated into a whole, with a total construction area of 436 square meters. On the right side, there are two pavilions in different forms. It was destroyed in the autumn of 1968 and rebuilt with state funds in 1887. A new branch road will be built to connect Huxi highway. After the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty, Xue Shuchang rebuilt one after another in the Qing Dynasty. In 1948, it was destroyed in the same way as the main hall of Jinshan Temple and the Sutra collection building. Today, only the site of the platform remains.

Legends of past dynasties

At that time, miaogaotai was still a good place to enjoy the moon, and there was an anecdote that Su Dongpo, a famous scholar, once enjoyed the moon here. (miaogaotai of Jinshan Temple)

In addition, it is said that the story of "Liang Hongyu fighting against Jinshan" also happened here. In 1130, Han Shizhong, a famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty, besieged tens of thousands of invading Jin soldiers with 4000 sailors near Jinshan. Mrs. Liang stepped on the miaogaotang to challenge the battle drum and boost her morale to break through the martial arts department. This historical story has been put on the stage of drama for thousands of years. (miaogaotai of Jinshan Temple)

According to the sixth volume of Wu Ling Chiang's genealogy, which was rebuilt in 1949, when Chiang Kai Shek was 8 years old, he "began to go to Xuedou mountain to see Miao Cen Ling's love" and "in the 16th year of the Republic of China, Mr. Chiang Kai Shek built a villa in his place" and wrote the title of "Miao Gao Tai". The villa is a combination of Chinese and western, with one bungalow on both sides of the gate and a flat roof sun terrace. There are three 2-story buildings behind the patio, with a total floor area of 436 square meters. Upstairs, the ash corridor is connected with the sun terrace. The grass and trees ring back and linger. The green mountains and clear water come in front of us. It's pleasing to the eye, but not wonderful. It is said that before Chiang Kai Shek fled the mainland in May 1949, he came here to visit. The scenery is still the same, the mountains and rivers are no longer there, and Chiang Kai Shek is "gloomy". At this time, what he thought was no longer his military and national affairs. The familiar local accent and the flowing Fenghua river could only evoke the bleakness of the hero's end and the sadness of leaving his hometown. There is a poem in miaogaotai: "patrolling in the mountains, military service in the mountains, and building a small town with strict forest standards. The master's brilliant plan is to settle the world, and his talent has been shaken when he is high. " (excerpted from the collection of Zaijing hall · poems by Jiang Nanjing scholars) there are many old photos of Chiang Kai Shek and Song Meiling hanging in the hall, but there is no such embarrassing picture as "farewell to my concubine". Miaogaotai has Fuhu cave on the left, Xiaofan terrace on the right, and Yan Zuotai in front, all of which are relics of Zhihe Zen master, an eminent monk of Song Dynasty. It is said that Zhihe sits on the stage to do his homework at the fifth watch every day. In Fuhu cave, two tigers listen to him chanting sutras all the year round, and their wildness gradually increases.

Miaogaotai, also known as miaocanling and Tianzhu peak, is located about 500 meters west of feixueting, with an altitude of 396 meters. There is a terrace on the top of the peak, which is called miaogaotai. The South three sides of the tool are cliffs, facing the abyss, the mist is mixed, floating like a fairyland. Looking down from the top of Xuedou, you can see the platform but not the peak. Looking up from the foot of the mountain, you can see the peak but not the platform, surrounded by pines, camphors and bamboos, and the rocks at your feet. On a sunny day, the wind blows and the pines fill the ears. Looking around from the railings, you can see that the mist is just beginning to open, the mountains are near and the hills are far away, and you can see that the lake under the pavilion is inlaid with the peaks, and the waves are shining and the shadows are haze.

During the cultural revolution, miaogaotai was demolished and rebuilt in 1986. However, the stone pagoda, which was originally placed at the entrance of the main entrance, was replaced and placed in the middle. This stone pagoda was the funu of the abbot monk of Xuedou temple at the beginning of the late Qing Dynasty. Because Chiang Kai Shek respected him very much, he moved it over when he built a wonderful tower
