She felt her pulse at Zhurongfeng in Nanyue, passed through Hengshan, Xiangtan and Xiangxiang, winding here, forming a famous mountain towering into the sky; There are Jingzifeng, Daqishan and Qianshan Gong Chao in front; Followed by Lianshui River, Shaoshan Canal, boundless blue waves. There is horseshoe village on the right, like a magnificent treasure colt, waiting for an opportunity; There is a door on the left, which looks like a jade gate, shielding Jiu Feng, with beautiful scenery, pleasant climate, towering ancient trees and beautiful scenery. From a distance, "Nanyue Zhu Rong" is like "the pillar of the southern sky", and from a close look, "the tower of the Dragon City" is like "waving a hair in the sky"; Spring outing in Jiu Feng, warm wind blowing gently, summer outing in Jiu Feng, birds singing and flowers fragrant, autumn outing in Jiu Feng, crisp weather, winter outing in Jiu Feng, wrapped in silver, morning view of Jinyang, sunflower in Chiba, evening view of Jade Rabbit and ten thousand silver stars, all of which are beautiful. The 107 and 320 national highways in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, as well as the trunk lines of Hunan, Guizhou and Beijing-Guangzhou railways, connect Beijing and Tianjin in the north and reach Hong Kong and Macao in the south, with developed transportation and convenient travel.
Jiufeng Mountain is rich in bamboo and wood, and it is the hometown of papermaking. Ginkgo paper, wrapping paper and leather paper are exported to Beijing and Shanghai with considerable financial resources. There are many precious medicinal materials, such as branches, honeysuckle, peucedanum, lily, rehmannia, chrysanthemum and so on. This has attracted countless drug farmers. Climbing mountains and digging are very profitable. Before liberation, a drug farmer planted Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng in this mountain, and it was very successful, which was a beautiful talk. The caves in the valley are full of clear springs, and the water is as clear as a mirror, fragrant and delicious. Everyone drank and drank, and the local farmers diverted water home, and the mineral springs flowed by themselves. The water quality is not as good as "Baisha" spring. What's more, the "Guanyin Datang" on the left foot is rich in binuclear white lotus, which is as big as jujube, nourishing yin and tonifying kidney, harmonizing stomach and strengthening spleen, with high quality and rich nutrition. During the Qianlong period, the emperor called it a tribute.
Jiufeng Mountain is an outstanding place. On the left mountainside, there used to be ancient temples such as "Buddhist temples" and "Xiuzhen temples" (sites still exist). Once upon a time, there was a real man named Qu Gong, who practiced Buddhism in the temple. During the Qianlong period, Luo studied in Xiuzhen Temple, became an academician in Rongzhong, and was promoted to be the minister of rites. On the right is Nishan Temple, where teaching museums have been built repeatedly. Famous Confucian scholars such as Zeng You and Liu stopped teaching for many years, and countless scholars emerged. They are brilliant in agriculture, industry and commerce, and they are also talented in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Jiufeng Mountain contains the beauty of heaven and earth, embodies the spirit of Gankun, nourishes by rain and dew, and gathers the essence of the sun and the moon. It is worthy of being a land of geomantic omen and a sacred place for immortals. According to legend, during the Song Dynasty, the local drought damaged the seedlings and the weeds were all yellow. A lady in white kindly sprinkled showers, and all living beings benefited. In order to repay God's grace, she earnestly asked what God is and showed her fairy dream, which is why she is a nun. Later, local believers built a small temple on the top of the mountain with civil stones, which contained a statue of Xiangu, the ancestor of Hezu. People are very religious and have been worshipped for generations.
There are different records in historical books about He Zu's life experience. According to Ci Yuan, he was born in the Tang Dynasty and Yongzhou. According to Guangdong Historical Records, He Zuxian Gu, whose real name is He, is also known as He Feng. Her mother, Ji's mother, was gentle and clever since she was a child. She insisted on the autonomy of marriage, which was opposed by her father, who forced her to marry a rich boy who didn't like her feelings and forced her to get married recently. While cooking, Motome resisted and jumped into the well. After Motome's death, she lived in seclusion in a cave in Hengshan Mountain and practiced for more than one hundred years. At that time, Xuan Nv saw his chastity for nine days, worked hard, taught the immortal tactic of Avenue many times, and did many good deeds of shoveling demons and removing demons among the people. Now she is a member of the Eight Immortals, and now she is famous for crossing the ocean, showing her magical power. What are the Eight Immortals and One God?
After Xiangu came to Jiufeng Temple, the weather was good, the country was peaceful and the people were safe, the six livestock were prosperous, the grain was abundant, the men and women were clean and auspicious, the young and the old were safe, the people were happy and the incense continued. There is another wonder in Jiufeng Mountain, that is, "there is a temple in the temple", which is really rare. According to legend, during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Jintang, who lives in Ruiyin Hall of Yong 'an Bridge in Bajiang, followed the famous Qing Dynasty soldier Zuo to recover Xinjiang and passed through Gansu to teach him how to break through. Wang Xiyue asked, what's the woman's name and where is she from? The woman in white replied: My surname is He, and I am a neighbor from your hometown. The king knew it was a dream when he woke up. The next morning, according to the dream, Wang thought the tactics were reasonable, so he rallied and struggled to break through and finally won. Later, the emperor named Wang Jintang "General Wei Zhen". Wang Zaikai returned to his hometown, thinking of the guiding virtue of his woman in white. He has traveled all over Gigi Lai, and no one has his surname. Later, someone reminded him that only Jiufeng Mountain, the ancestor of Xiangu Bodhisattva, was there. The king went to the front of the temple, bowed down and prayed, and asked Bu, "If you respect the gods as a guide, you can expand the temple." Divination shows that "Liangzhou's predicament is my subtotal." (If you sincerely build a temple) The small temple should be kept. " Wang Jin immediately set out to prepare for the construction, and realized that it was necessary to start the construction on another day, chisel stones and break ground, build granite as the wall, cross the stone pillars at Shimen, and build them on a small temple. This is the origin of "there is a temple in the temple". After the completion of the temple, four glittering Chinese characters of "He Xiangu Temple" were inlaid on the white marble above the temple gate, inscribed for the five years of Tongzhi, and the couplets on both sides were "The immortal has the heart to help the world, no matter who". There are mountain gates at both ends of the temple, granite railings in front of the temple, and an iron incense burner in the center of the temple, which is superb and weighs more than tons. The roads on both sides are paved with stones. In the center of the hall are the sacred account of HongLing, the hardcover golden Buddha, the Jing 'an Temple, the Chen Xiangan, the worship of Taiwan, the next plaque, the left bell and the right drum, the divination of Mark Six colors, and all the furnishings, cigarettes, and divine lights are all responsive. There is a fairy wind, and the worshippers are in an endless stream.
After the completion of the Great Temple, people trusted to worship the divine light, and Jiufeng Mountain became the jurisdiction of the Sixth, Seventh and Eighth Dynasties. (that is, today's three towns of Yutang, Lishan and Shanzao), the four major cuisines worship together, and the people have divine blessing.
During the Tongzhi period, Zeng Guofan's son Ceng Jize was seriously ill. He climbed a mountain to protect Qingji and presented an iron tile. There are several originals, and his name is clearly identifiable. Due to the strong wind in Jiu Feng and the mountains, the blue tiles are often in danger of being blown away. Many good believers worship iron tiles, and Xiangu Temple has become a stone-walled iron tile temple.
In the 20th year of the Republic of China (1932), the founder Zhao and Zhao Dunhuang (now representatives of Hunan Provincial People's Congress, abbot of Nantai Temple in Nanyue and honorary abbot of yunmen temple in Xiangxiang) returned to Jiufeng Mountain from Youxian County and worked as monks in Xiangu Temple, where they gave blessings and gathered believers.
In the thirty-fifth year of the Republic of China (1946), during the drought, believers from all directions greeted Xiangu Bodhisattva and prayed for rain at Yutang and Lishan Fushou Temple. According to the requirements, the heavy rain fell, the rain and dew moistened and the seedlings turned green. After the people benefited from it, they sent Xiangu back to the temple with great fanfare. The masses of believers are waving red flags, holding umbrellas and dancing dragons. It also spread to believers in jujube, Hushan, Tan Shi, Jiangkou, Jianshui, Menzi, Zhongsha, Osmanthus fragrans, Ma Xie, Shigu, Chapi, Tuqiao and other places, and countless people were driven away, showing the power of God and the sincerity of believers.
However, in the "Ten-year Catastrophe", the temple was seriously affected, the iron tiles were demolished, and the stone walls were damaged and became ruins. After the robbery, an old man climbed the mountain on Chongyang. Seeing this scene, I wrote a poem: "Go to Jiu Feng on September 9 and ask the mountain people in front of the mountain. The mountain people don't know where to go and burn incense in the air." This is a true portrayal of the scene.
The reform and opening up brought order out of chaos, and a prosperous time appeared. Everything is thriving, protecting historical sites and advocating civilization. From time to time, there was an old man named Nishan Chen Baoyuan. He remembered God's grace and rebuilt a small temple on the top of the mountain, reopening the tourist and incense places. Later, Xia Mei Village's Zeng Fenggen, xinfeng village's Yi and other well-intentioned people proposed to restore the temple and issued a report.
Immediately, Zeng Fenggen, Deng Jiannan and other enthusiastic people actively organized donations. Over the past few years, Xerox has donated more than 72,000 yuan. Donate money year by year, build and purchase gradually, and build a new project every year. At that time, on the original site of the old temple, Buddhist temples, kitchens and houses were built, painted and decorated inside and outside, Buddha statues were decorated in gold, and bells and drums were donated. The furniture is quiet and refreshing. Wang Yong and Wang Min, two sons of Mr. Wang in Shanzao Town, wrote a gold couplet on the bluestone at the entrance of the temple. They were posted in Jiufeng Temple, and the words "Live in Eight Cave in Xianju, and God bless Jiu Feng" made the temple gate more solemn. In order to meet the needs of Buddhist temple incense and temple management, a member of the temple was set up, and the management Committee invited Buddhist believer Wu Chunguang (female) to study. The Buddhist temple is wiped clean, clean inside and outside, burning incense at dawn, brightly lit Buddha lanterns, offering incense to tourists and warmly receiving them.
Every year, on July 25th, Xiangu's birthday, a pious ceremony is held at the temple fair to discuss and study in advance, and organize service personnel to do their own things, including receiving pilgrims, serving tea, preparing convenient meals, making wishes, maintaining order, and managing the burning of incense and firecrackers and fire prevention. In order to avoid the crowded tourists, the ceremony was held at 1 in the morning. In the hall, cigarettes were around, bells and drums were ringing, music was long, greetings were long, firecrackers were rumbling, birthday celebrations were lively, and worship was sincere. Before the ceremony was over, the pilgrims arrived early, burning incense and candles, donating money, and drawing lots. They prayed for peace at four o'clock and eight days, and the grand occasion was unprecedented. People flocked to them, often coming and going, in an endless stream; There are countless vehicles parked at the foot of the mountain, and it is also a fairy wind, lively and pious.
200 1, a team of cloth bags rushed from Nishan, buried more than 500 meters of cables, and the power supply peak, inside and outside the temple, was brightly lit; And hanging a headlight at the top of the temple, the light is far and near, just like the big dipper, which is spectacular.
In 2002, for the convenience of tourists and pilgrims, there was a place to rest on the mountain. On both sides of the mountainside, the "Mid-Mountain Pavilion" and "Echo Pavilion" were restored and built. After the completion of the exhibition hall, it adopts reinforced concrete structure, sulfur glass tile roof with four columns and four claws, combines the old and the new, and is antique and innovative, which has both ancient meaning and novel colors of modern architecture.
First, the beautiful scenery adds pavilion scenery; Civilized manners set a new trend.
Two: the public tour of Mingshan Pavilion stopped; The fairy wind sweeps the face and returns to cool.
Third, stop at the pilgrimage site; Sincerely worship the immortal Buddha.
Fourth, the fairy mountain is surrounded by Xiangyun, and the jade pavilion bathes in the divine wind.
Five: customs clearance, Pengcheng is bigger; The mountain peak is rising and ambition is climbing.
