Hengshan is one of the famous five mountains, it is to steep mountain, valley big Goushen rugged road, pass advantageous, continuous flow length, known as the "win at the world-shaped, Crouching Tiger, to military strategists." According to legend, Emperor Shun Hunting mountains and rivers, majestic mountains to see here, of all things V-shaped north, then called "Beiyue." There yin yang constant before the end of its road had long been intended, the ancients also known as "Changshan." Han historian Ban Teng Heng, the issue of "look Changshan of Saga, the high board Beiyue Tour" lament. Tang Jia Dao of "Heaven and earth have the saying, Hengshan home to the north. Stack of thousand of Rock Crest, sly strange Patent unpredictable," the poem. Hengshan known within the hundred and one eight peaks, to the mountain peak of Qi and it is never said, is Hengshan days ridges of the main peak, with its cliffs is famous confrontation Ping peak. Living in the deep gorge between two peaks, stone clip on its side, front-line blue sky hanging, the narrowest point less than 10 meters, is the famous dragon Hengshan Gap. Our cars from the canyon mouth into the North Valley, suddenly there is "high cliff hanging double row of Que alone towering peak of danger connected Miracle" feeling. White accounted for the Golden Dragon Gorge battleground natural barrier, which - with the always growing and becoming stacked, the peak fire rolling. Northern Wei Dynasty, Emperor Wu Tuoba silicon channel tens of thousands of his troops, where the hilltops chisel Road, the gateway to the Central Plains as an offensive. Song, Yang Ye and his son have been entrenched in this natural barrier against alien invasion. Gap still halfway in the Golden Dragon, coiled to see the ancient town are still at large. Dragon Gap, leaving the person is never above the cliff overhanging the Jade Peak Monastery, everyone from afar, the Monastery on a cliff close to the halfway, back west of the East, much like a hanging between the fine arts and crafts in the mountainside. Should people Wonderland visitors the feeling of uncanny masterpiece, amazing, amazing. A Japanese friend in front of the scenery of praise, write "plant" this scene only be in heaven, why the temple down on earth "in verse.
"Spectacular", engraved on a rock in the Monastery of the North, pen force Emotion, magnificent, breathtaking, according to legend, "spectacular" is a Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai of the book personally. Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan 23 years (735 years), Li Bai, Taiyuan tour, the area had to climb Yanmen Hengshan, when entering the Golden Dragon Gorge, the Monastery of the Church was deeply attracted by the building insurance, somehow, the poems Sin can not leave the Psalms, but signed off on the cliffs of the "spectacular" to express excitement, after writing, still does not feel the emotion from the heart to hand wave in the "strong" word "person" plus a little inside, without the knowledge of visitors thought it was a spelling Li Bai wrote it! "spectacular" as the years went on, thousands of years of weathering, has been unable to identify. In 1990, the state allocated special funds to repair the Monastery, the basis spread rubbings of the original track, the "spectacular" re-engraved in the temple under the cliffs above.
Golden Dragon Gorge hillside east of the cliff, the left we can see the ancient plank road, which is ancient in the _set_ up of wood floating on the steep road. Said, plank road is the Northern Wei Dynasty period (386-408 years) built, plank-hole stone ruins still remain. Plank Road Originally known as "Having seen", which among the Monastery and the West Bank between the Mid-Levels, there was an aerial suspension bridge, called "Hongqiao." The ancients these two together, "Having seen the rainbow", as one of the ancient King at Hengshan. Today, the "rainbow" has been destroyed, the only remaining "Having seen the" top of steep vertical rock walls engraved with the "seen the" two characters. Past "Having seen the rainbow", has now become "spectacular" and "seen the" visual impact of these two all the four characters, all of them scared, dangerous, extraordinary, clever and amazing architectural traces wow.
From the "spectacular" and "seen the" before pictures, everyone came to the Monastery of the mountain in front of a sign of national cultural heritage legislation in the gate side of the Monastery as a national treasure by the government have been properly maintained. Look high, I saw the temples on the next cliff, Forest Hill based on the rock from the room; looked down, the word under the temporary insurance valley temple, built on vacant; because the temples mostly vacant, so called "Monastery." Monastery of the origin, there are two kinds of argument: According to Buddhist legend, in ancient times the Golden Dragon Gorge flash flood often, people in the valley under the hard times, people want to build a temple valley monster repression, but also because of the "Buddha is not the mountains," the taboo. So, I think of hanging on the cliff built a monastery, the town has played the role of demon. According to Taoist legend, the Northern Wei dynasty, the Hengshan important Taoist temple as one of the claims practice, based on ancient Taoist work two Carpenter: "do not hear the voice of cock Bark" design and construction requirements of a vacant structure of the building.
The Monastery of the construction process, and now popular among such a story. According to legend, the Northern Wei Dynasty years, Tuoba capital Pingcheng, the unification of half of China. They Hengshan natural barrier against the Southern forces to build a military fortress. Meanwhile, with the Taoist theocratic consolidate its dominance in the region adjacent Hengshan big week to build religious facilities. An illusion of the emperor suddenly the gods to build temples in the Hengshan, hope he can live forever. This altar will be on the road vain days, the next touching the ground, a vacant building. Vacant buildings have no basis, is very difficult to build, building officials can not do anything. This move could proclamation issued by the court, looking the world craftsmen built the Monastery, building officials will "hang" with the words "mysterious", in order to build craftsman "Monastery." Soon, one living in the Hengshan peeled off the foot of the famous craftsman proclamation, the start of construction "Xuan Kong Temple", when the towering temple is completed, the emperor in the Hengshan acceptance of the monastery, in person at the festival. Emperor found from afar, "Xuan Kong Temple" is not floating, huff, the Code calls for the artisans. Apprentice craftsmen to come forward to save the master, the emperor agreed to the construction of the Monastery of the imagination, and the lives of teacher and student were guaranteed. Teacher and student were started think hard, hoping the date specified, and built the Monastery. Days from the close to completion, the apprentice fantasy looking out the window, I saw a spider silk in the roof holding the roots dangling, not long after they weave a spider web of a vacant, to borrow mechanics with Cliff soon form the idea of the construction of the Monastery. He co-designed with the master, in Hengshan the foot of the Golden Dragon Gorge, the start of construction Monastery. They Ping peak cliff, which will be vacant vacant jobs hanging in the hillside, the pretext of care for the dark rocks, holes in the cliffs on the chisel, and then fly into the beam as the base, and built on the base Diange tower, upload the Monastery of the crag, overlooking the deep valley, as a suspension in the hillside castles in the air. From a small spider has been inspired to build the unprecedented Monastery, also saved the lives of teacher and student were. After the completion of the Monastery, the sound broadcast world, the folklore of this doggerel: "Monastery, Temple vacant, wonderful magic in the sky, pointing spider web fairy, dragon Gap now shrine."
Enter the Monastery of the gate, a taste of what this amazing building. According to various historical records, the Monastery was built in the late Northern Wei Dynasty, sixth century AD, after generations of repeated re-repair, the building reached its apogee during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Ming and Qing architecture is therefore to the main body. Monastery of the overall layout is different from the plain construction of the balance of the layout of the temple, there are different from the mountain temple mountain on the potential, but the pretext of mechanics with Cliff built, compact, scattered dependencies, you have me, I have you. In short, highlighted the "hanging" Yu, coupled with a "clever" word.
From the bottom to the point of view, the Monastery is "hanging", hanging if Changhong. The feeling of climbing the temple, even "hanging", foot plate, like castles in the air into the exposure. The local "Monastery, half high, three tail hanging air" Minyan. Literati by the "dangerous high-hundred feet, hands can pick the stars, not loud words, fear of shaking Exalted," the poem. Monastery is about 50 meters high from the ground, according to experts, research, Monastery of the early days, the vertical height of the ground should be nearly 100 meters upstream of the river as the deposition of sediment will now raise the height of the ground. Monastery of the west side of the canyon cliffs hanging in the middle, slightly curved retraction of the cliffs, the temple hanging in height, with cliffs form one. 40 exposure to cliffs pavilion temples, the surface looks, they only support a dozen root sized thick wooden pillars. In fact, some poles of the force, some of it is fake, do not force, only play a decorative role. As the real focus of support in hard rock, making the Monastery to become a hung empty, seemingly if the empty building.
Monastery of the "clever", reflected in the clever use of the cliff terrain. Prominent peak on the use of mountain cliffs, and build into a large natural roof; the only space in the middle, the temple of the temples and pavilions scattered and link up; the lower part of the pretext of a few slender wooden pillars support, adding to the suspension atmosphere. Monastery of the local conditions, exceed the actual situation, the whole building has the main gate, clock tower on the second floor, main hall, side hall, Hall and other miscellaneous everything, small and limited space, the temple has the general shape and size, can be said that "small, internal organs and taste. "
Standing in the monastery, may feel crowded, do some small, less than 10 meters long here, less than three meters wide, is a narrow courtyard. West of the temple is positive, Terakado south and open, dangerous confrontation between North and South have both bell tower, is the gatehouse. Cliff west hospital construction a double-brimmed flat-topped temple pavilion, across the courtyard to north, from the clock tower on the inside to climb ladders and three shrines within the temple n, Kuan Tai niches and niches. Buddhist temple at the top were built Jialan, Guanyin has ever been, in possession of the house.
Shared a room with three shrines, niches and Kuan Tai niches. Three permitted Yi said the Main Hall, dedicated to Vairocana, Amitabha and Shakyamuni Buddha. Three belong to the Ming Dynasty Buddha statue, using a complex folder queue process method of manufacturing the statue, is characterized by rugged, lightweight and beautiful, easy to store for rare treasures. Buddha placed Xu Mizuo, undress Bo belt, knot Jiafu Zuo, plump face, his calm. Left little room is Tai shrine, available for Taiyizhenren, Tai-an ancient god of the Arctic, the legendary Yellow Emperor was asked to Tai, to Tai Shen consult medication knowledge. Taoist Tai was regarded as a deity, said as the gods of the earth will Taiyizhenren first, ranking Yuqing Wonderland. The right is the shrine of Kwan Tai, Shu general Guan Yu dedicated to the Three Kingdoms period, read "Three Kingdoms" who have been Guan Yi knot and the future, the spirit of loyalty moved, but most do not know where Guan Yu is a man? Shanxi Guan Yu Changping state solution under the Fengcun, now there are existing state solution Shanxi country's largest temple. The image of Kuan Kung is now widely available across the country, Southeast Asia and other parts of the world has a temple or shrine dedicated to Guan Di, can be said that there is a place on the Chinese Emperor.
Out from the monastery is the Monastery north and south on the second floor. When the pedal in Qulang or plank road, as if feeling a slight shaking in the Monastery, please dependable railings, safety. We can see holes on the cliffs clouds, artificial drilling of these holes by, then fly into the beam, in the hard rocks into the 2 / 3 flying beam, the other 1 / 3 pick cliff, but then in the column above the ceiling Finally completed Diange tower. If you touch the main column, will feel it shaking, because the Monastery of the focus point of the force in the rock, following Temple's column supported only play a supporting role. People understand the role played by wooden pillars, the more weight a floating feeling. When you see the temple at the end of support poles, as if they feel the Monastery of the stable nature. Monastery While hanging at high altitude, but quite stable sense of security, in October 1989 to this area by 6.1 magnitude earthquake occurred, the Monastery is only a few shaking, no damage to the building.
Standing on the south building, three have Chun-yang palace, the three officers and Lei Yin Temple Hall. Chun-yang Gong, also known as Lu Zu temple, mainly dedicated to the Taoist Eight Immortals, one of the bad one, bad one is Yongji Yongle Town in the real and the seal number in Taoism, "Senior." Three palaces is the Monastery of the largest building in a temple, inside a clay statue of Ming Dynasty treasures. Three official means the official blessing on the person's day, forgiveness in person to officials, the people helping the water officials. Clay up to about 2 meters, is the Monastery of the largest statue, so below are the maid and the young and old courtiers, canopy Marshal, Guiyi two will. Lei Yin Temple is a Buddhist temple, the highest point in the south tower, Buddhists believe that Buddha promote Buddhism, the sound as loud as thunder, so called LEIN Hall.
Arrived from the north tower when the south tower, to be through the air along the cliff, on the cliff path along the cliff top, the "days of public input clever", describe the construction of public input refers to the ancient craftsman Luban, plank floor, cleverly linking the two, God wins a coincidence. Here, we can see two Northern Wei Dynasty carvings of the Buddha, to provide for the Monastery of the building's evidence.
North Building of three respectively five Buddha, Kuan Yin Temple, temple of three religions. Five Buddhist temple located in the lowest level, dedicated to the five Buddha, named after the five Buddha Buddha also known as five parties, the big day, if the most prominent, as in Tantric Buddhism. Goddess of Mercy Temple in the middle floor, to support the Chinese people like the Bodhisattva. Buddhism was introduced to China, Guanyin is "man's body, woman with" the image of the ancient lady, Song Dynasty, a popular Guanyin Bodhisattva, is completely transformed into a ladies of ancient physiognomy. Located in the top hall of the three religions, Buddha, Lao Tzu, Confucius statue were living in a room, thought-provoking. To Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, ancestor worship under one roof, has been called a story in the history of Chinese religion.
Standing on the highest point of the North Building, lean on a railing overlooking. Hengshan opposite the main peak, towering cloud of people, towering tall and straight. Hundred meters south of the Hengshan reservoir water storage of 1,300 million cubic meters, bright view. Summer, both sides of the Castle stands, Dai-colored mountains are reflected in the water reflection, clear Bobbi waves. When the spillway gate opening, the canyon suddenly spewing Fei Liu, waves masterpiece, the magnificent, landscape intersect, seamless, to the Monastery of the spectacle has been added to the sceneries. |
