The Taoist temple is surrounded by mountains, purple air, lush trees and gurgling streams. There is a spring behind the statue of Guandi Hall, which has not dried up or overflowed for many years. People regard it as the "holy spring water" to eliminate disasters and diseases. After visiting this place, a poet praised: "When you come here, it is Pengdao. Where else can you find heaven? How many people stayed in the rocks? They love to blame the wind and forget to return it. "
Walking on the tree-lined path in Dahuanggou, trees are lush on both sides of the road, wild flowers are everywhere, and warblers fly and butterflies dance. After the meditation pavilion, walk another mile and you will come to a gate. The words "blessed land and cave" on the door plaque are particularly eye-catching.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, Guanyin Cave and Guandi Cave are surrounded by high walls, and a Millennium Spring laurel in the middle sets off this ancient building beautifully. It is leafy and intertwined. It blooms every spring and can be smelled dozens of miles away in Fiona Fang. Legend has it that Guanyin surpassed Xiangyun and traveled around the world to Fangling, where the purple light shone brightly, the spirits soared to the sky, the trees were gray, strange birds sang, and the clouds were busy pressing down, making people dream of Fangling, building caves and courtyards by mountains and rocks, and worshiping Guanyin; During the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu defeated Maicheng and retired to Guanyin Cave to have a rest. Later generations carved the statue of Guan Di and enshrined it in the cave. From then on, the Double Sage Guandi appeared in the middle of the month, and good men and women came in droves, bowing down to draw lots and giving whatever they wanted. This is the famous Guanyin Cave in Fangxian County. But why is there a Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva in Taoist resorts? Guandi is not the main god of Taoism, so it's hard to understand that these Taoists wear Taoist and Buddhist clothes. This may be the polytheistic philosophy in Taoism! The spring water flowing out of Guandi Cave is cool and sweet, and it does not dry all year round. As soon as I approached the entrance of the cave, a cool feeling came to my face, which made people feel refreshed and the exhaustion of going up the mountain was swept away. The ancestral temple was built in Li Xian, Tang Zhongzong in 688 AD. It was destroyed in the second year of Qing Shunzhi and rebuilt in 1995. Return to the top of the mountain from Guanyin Cave and reach the ancestral temple. The ancestral temple and Xuanwu Palace are actually distributed on a central axis. As soon as I entered Xuanwu Palace, a tortoise and snake totem image came into view. According to the evolution of Xuanwu God, "Xiu is a snake, a gun is a turtle, and turtles and turtles are of the same kind ... This image is the symbolic transformation of Xiuhe and his wife in Xuan Ming's works". The blessings, blessings and longevity enshrined here are all real objects and lifelike. High above the ancestral temple, smoke filled, light and shadow constantly changing between incense, as if the face of a real martial arts master is looming, also known as "mysterious light." The Taoist priests inside refused to shoot, saying it was disrespectful to the gods, which further showed their piety. The ancestral temple is more sacred and mysterious to us. Standing in front of the ancestral temple, Xiangyun Fang County has a panoramic view of the countryside. Looking back on the past in Chang 'an, Li Xianbei burst into tears and lamented, which made people think deeply.
