Leizu silkworm

Lei Zu, a "Lei Zu". It is said that she is the daughter of Xiling family and the yuan imperial concubine of Xuanyuan family, the legendary leader of northern tribes. She gave birth to xuanxiao and Changyi. He Ji, the son of xuanxiao, was one of the five emperors, and his grandson was Emperor he. Changyi married a daughter of Shushan family, gave birth to Gaoyang, and inherited the world. This is "Zhuanxu emperor", one of the five emperors. It is mentioned in historical records that the Yellow Emperor married Leizu, the daughter of the Xiling family. She invented silkworm rearing, which is "the first silkworm of Leizu".

Ancient records

According to records of the historian, "the Yellow Emperor lived in Xuanyuan's hill, and married his daughter in Xiling as Leizu. Lei Zu is the imperial concubine of the Yellow Emperor. " She is said to be the creator of silkworm rearing and silk treatment in myths and legends. After the Northern Zhou Dynasty, it was worshipped as "the first silkworm" (silkworm God). Zhao Rui, a famous strategist in the Tang Dynasty, author of the long and short classics and teacher of Li Bai, a great poet, wrote the inscription of Leizu Holy Land in the Tang Dynasty: "Leizu first created the method of planting mulberry and raising silkworms, drawing silk and weaving silk, admonished the Yellow Emperor, ordered farming mulberry, legalized clothes, promoted marriage, advocated etiquette, erected palace, laid the foundation of the country, unified the Central Plains, and made great achievements in politics, which will never be forgotten. Respect is the first

Guanyin cave

Guanyin cave is located more than 300 meters in the middle of Longquan Mountain. Longquan Mountain is an extension of the southeast edge of Jingshan mountain range. The overlapping mountains are steep and precipitous. The picturesque foothills and magnificent mountains make Guanyin more beautiful, wonderful and spiritual. In the shape of "eight", the top is narrow, the bottom is wide, the height is about 20 meters, the bottom is about 5 meters wide, and the depth is unfathomable. The irregular bell in the middle of the cave falls down and drops crystal clear beads from the bell stone. This is a typical limestone karst. In the middle of entering, it is hard to stop the hot summer in the dog days and the fatigue of sweating mountain disappears. It's cool and refreshing. I'm afraid it's difficult to install the best air conditioner in the world to achieve such a good effect.

Ten meters into the lotus platform, I saw Guanyin Bodhisattva with kind eyes and good eyebrows, waiting for all living beings to come to worship. Guanyin, Sanskrit version of the translation for "Guanyin", because the Tang Dynasty to avoid "world" word taboo, it is referred to as Guanyin. It's Mahayana. Buddhism says that she is merciful, saves suffering and responds to every request. For this reason, many forms of Guanyin Bodhisattva, such as Xiang, nvxiang, Qianshou, Songzi and so on, have been carved in silk cloth or wood and clay for thousands of years. They have been worshipped in temples and enjoyed the incense of worshippers from generation to generation. However, as time goes by, the statue of Avalokitesvara has remained the same for thousands of years, and our ideas have changed. No longer rely on gods and Bodhisattvas to protect, to become rich by hard work, to seek children by modern science, and to live in peace by home. Nowadays, there are many mountain tourists, but few of them are seeking immortals and worshiping Buddhas.

Buddhism was first founded and popular in ancient India. It came to China in the late Western Han Dynasty. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism, which was born and bred in China, blended the essence of Buddhism

It advocates the accumulation of good and practice, the universal living beings, from "self-consciousness" to "other consciousness" to reach the realm of "complete practice". He also talked about loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and justice, karma, using witchcraft to save suffering, curing diseases, expelling ghosts, and practicing immortality. In fact, it is the unity of Taoism and Buddhism, making foreign things serve China, complementing each other and prospering together. Therefore, it is not surprising that Buddhism's Guanyin Bodhisattva is shared by Taoism.

Longquan Mountain is also high, and the hidden River rushes out from Guanyin. After years, the spring is sweet and pure. "Ask where the canal can be so clear, and live for the source.". It is said that Zhongzhi is connected with the Minjiang River in Sichuan Province. In rainy and flood seasons, Zhongzhi also rises with it. Local mountain people use baskets to receive many river fish, which become delicious food on their dining tables. In the event of a severe drought, Zhongzhi still flows out, which is the source of life for the nearby people for generations. Now it is still the source of drinking water for thousands of people in Hualinsi town.

Around Guanyin, there are more than 100 jujube bark trees with luxuriant branches and leaves. Their small oval fruits turn from green to red. Their functions are far better than those of Lycium barbarum. They nourish the kidney, moisten the lung and nourish the liver. It is said that Guanyin Bodhisattva collected jujube bark trees and put them in a bottle to cure diseases and deliver children to all living beings in time and save suffering. It is very effective. For this reason, the image of Guanyin Bodhisattva in our hearts is more and more tall, so the name of Guanyin is more and more big. There is a huge stone screen in the jujube bark forest, which is engraved with four bold and unrestrained seal characters of "Yun Yin Yue" in the Qing Dynasty. It is a true description and praise of the magnificent and wonderful scenery in Longquan Mountain.

Longquan Mountain is more than 1000 meters above sea level. It is a subtropical continental monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. During the day, the mountain people judge the weather according to the changeable clouds in front of Guanyin. The local farmer Yan said, "when the clouds face east, there is a gust of wind; when the clouds face south, there is a shower of rain; when the clouds face north, there is no rain; when the clouds face west, there are cattle herders wearing coir raincoats.". Late in summer, the stars are brilliant, the moon is in the sky, and white clouds float leisurely on the hillside in front of Guanyin, gathering together, with a dreamlike white and bright. Mountain hidden cloud, cloud swallows the moon, the moon adds brightness, cloud and moon reflect the mountain more hazy, quiet and deep. The magic and beautiful wonderland of Guanyin is similar to the "three pools in the moon" of Hangzhou West Lake.
