Ling jiusan: Xiongxiu's strange tour of Jiaochi Peak

In Buddhist terms, Ling jiusan is like nine blooming lotus flowers floating from the East China Sea, and Jiaochi Peak (836 meters above sea level) is one of them.

Once upon a time, besides the empty gate in the south gate, the gate of Lingjiu Mountain also has the gate of washing the heart in Dongshan Gate, the gate of bliss in Xishan Gate and the north back gate, all of which are the only way for Gu Shan to make a pilgrimage in the Millennium. Lingjiu Mountain faces the mountain and enters Xiangbei Road via Jinzhai Town and Shuangqiao Township. The main scenic spots in this area are Taizhen Cave, Sisters Waterfall, Lexus Stone Forest, Millennium Ginkgo, Hermit Valley, Taizhen Stone Column, Qusui Center, Monument of the First District Committee of the County Party Committee and other places of interest. The scenic spots are unique and beautiful, which is breathtaking. According to the old place name, it's like this: from Waishanyuan to Zhutouling, and then to Cao Xia Bridge, all the way to the cliff is extremely laborious. Then head south to Shang Ling, Wu Ban and Chiwu. The road is narrow and steep. When you reach the yellow bottom, walk three miles to the big pit. At that time, the bamboo forest in Dakeng was the highest in the whole Lingjiu Mountain, and the fog in the upper and lower Longtan Waterfalls was victorious. The pilgrims entering Xiangbei Road in the morning at Lingjiu Mountain are mostly from the north of Shou Chang, the east of Chun 'an, the local fairy cave and Taizhen.

In the old days, Gaotian in Shuangqiao Township, qujiang district (90 households with a population of 278 and 4 natural villages) and Menggaoliao in Jiuhua Township, Kecheng District (Menggaoliao, Dakeng and 50 mu natural villages, 42 farmers, population 10 1, 2 villagers' groups) were all called by city people.

Jiaochi peak in the old annals is called Jiaochi dock. The Qing Dynasty's Xi 'an County Records of Jiaqing recorded that Jiaochiwu is 60 miles north of the county seat and about 10 miles to Jiuhua, but it is actually only 50 miles. Dangerous peaks and cliffs are dense and loose. There are waterfalls pouring down the mountain, just like the milky way falling from the sky. It is preserved in Chen's "Jiaoziwu Waterfall Poetry" and "Quxian Annals" in the Republic of China.

, the word reward Hou, No.2 stone. Quzhou Xi people. Zheng Xuan, a native of the city, said that he "eats with a weak crown." Tian Zi is a hero, and his research is in ancient times. Good at riding and shooting, fencing. I call myself blue and purple, and I like picking mustard ears. I have been trapped in my house for many times, so I have traveled around the mountains, pinned my life on the harp bottle, and wrote poems with its aboveboard strangeness and mighty genius. "Dry and long are born. Author of Two Stone Poems. The full text of Chen's "Jiaoziwu Waterfall" is as follows:

The man of God in a green robe is green, and Danfu flies down to the Crystal Palace. Turn over the basin for seven hundred miles in one night, and hold a team of whip dragons; After a while, it rained heavily, and the cock flapped its wings to help Sang Dong; The breath of Ru Shou swept across the sky, and the dragon drum roared toward the sky; -the peak is dangerous and the wood is tired, and one is hanging on the cliff pine; Fierce anger can't fly, and the clouds spray several long winds; A Xiang tried the thunderbolt drum first, and Qin Huang hung a mangoku clock; Even the mountains are divided into stones, and the pits are full of valleys. Eliminate or worry about the collapse of the axis and pour like a galaxy; Millennium charm whistling, mountain king lurks deep; Sometimes the waves beat on the shore, and the waves smashed jade; The curtain looks like a crown bun, and the cold light is dazzling; Alas, there are also several mountain spirits, whose eyes are as dusty as dust; Once from the generation, duh zai old dumpling really wins the day; It can be seen that the staff is extremely clever, and one thousand hibiscus branches are broken.

Jiaochi Peak, located in the mountains at the junction of Jiuhua and Shuangqiao Township, is separated from Luangang in Yang Huafeng in the northeast, with an altitude of 836 meters, belonging to the northern outer ring mountain range of Lingjiu Mountain in Qianligang Mountain range. Its northeast foot water flows into the source of Tongshan Mountain. Xichunwu (Shiqing) Stream, Shimennei Stream and other tributaries. The water in the southwest foothills flows into Jiuhuaximiao source, and there are tributaries such as Dahuanjian.

The most famous natural landscapes in this area are the Jiaoziwu Waterfall at Xichun (Shiqing) Wharf and the 50-mu Yulinglong bare rock spring. Among them, Chen's Jiaoziwu Waterfall is the most vivid poem describing Quzhou Waterfall.

Modern people can easily find the old traces of Chen's "Poem on the Waterfall of Jiaoziwu". Get off at Xichun (Shiqing) Wharf of Tatai Line connecting G60N Hangxinjing Expressway and walk along the mountain stream for about 1 hour. If it is in the rainy season, you can smell the roar of Jiaochi Waterfall. The first Jiaochi Waterfall into the mountain, about 50 meters high, is located on the cliff between the two peaks of Jiaochiwu. The silver waterfall spews like snow, just like the majestic appearance of the Milky Way for nine days.

Climbed to the top of Jiaochi Waterfall along the stream on the left. About half an hour later, the second waterfall, namely "Menlian Waterfall", is located in the rock flow upstream of Jiaochi Waterfall. You have to go upstream along the stream to see its face. The waterfall is like a white curtain, about eight meters high. The flat curtain in the stream is vivid and can be described as a masterpiece of nature. Further up is Longtan Waterfall, which is about 500 meters away from Menlian Waterfall and about 20 meters high. Named after the Longtan under the waterfall. After passing the Longtan Waterfall, you can walk downstream for about 300 to 400 meters, which is the "jade and exquisite" landscape described in the poem. The water in Shiqingjian River tumbles down among the golden exposed rocks, just like the exquisite turning point of the jade belt, forming a unique scene. The ancients compared it to "Yu Linglong". Yulinglong is the Lingjiu Temple.

Get off at Xichun (Shiqing) Wharf of Tatai Line connecting G60N Hangxinjing Expressway, and walk along the mountain stream to find the old trace of Chen's "Poem on the Waterfall of Jiaoziwu". No matter in the past or now, I have never climbed the mountain road of the sedan chair peak, nor can I climb the sedan chair peak. Twenty years ago, a small hydropower station was built at the entrance of Shiqing Xichun Wharf. After passing the power station, it climbed up the water intake of the power station along the water intake steps, and then walked all the way along the mountain stream before entering Lingjiu Temple. Because of the steep mountain road, except hunters, mountain people rarely walk.

In 2002, I lived in Lingjiu Temple. That year, a rare flash flood occurred in Lingjiu Mountain area. Later, I asked the host of Jiuhuashan Temple. Is there any place on the mountain around the temple that people are afraid to climb? ? The host reported that Jiang (who was over 70 years old at that time) in Menggaoliao village in the mountain climbed to the eagle hole of sedan chair peak to catch an eagle when his father and uncle were young men, and was beaten by his grandfather when he got home. Since then, he hasn't heard of anyone going there for at least 80 years. This hole is hidden, so you can't see it on the cliff or under the mountain. Only when the eagle returns to the hole can you know its exact location.

There are many kinds of eagles, some are called eagles and some are called vultures. Anyway, they are big birds that eat small animals. Located at the top of Jiaochi Peak opposite Jiuhua Lingjiu Temple, it is said that there was a dragon on the top of the mountain. Meng Gao's family is Meng Gao, formerly known as Meng Jiao. Historically, many vultures in the Griffin Mountain area circled around the Griffin Mountain area all day.

There is a legend that a clever monk from Lingjiu Mountain brought it from Lingjiu Mountain in India.

During the reign of Xianhe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (326~334), according to the Records of Lin 'an in the Southern Song Dynasty, "Huili, an Indian monk, came to the Xixia Mausoleum in Hangzhou to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of Lingyin Temple." When Huili came, she brought two vultures from Lingjiu Mountain in India. Legend has it that Huili swam into Zhejiang from the Central Plains with two vultures.

A few days later, the two Griffins disappeared. Huili is worried and anxious about this.

In order to find these two vultures, Huili went up the Qiantang River and came to Xin 'an County, Quzhou. Suddenly, I saw the two Griffins hovering in the sky, but they landed on Huili's left and right shoulders. At this time, Huili was very surprised and screamed: "Eldest brother, second child! Where have you lived since we broke up? " Hearing this, two Griffin birds flapped their wings and flew slowly to the northwest.

Warrior followed it and came to Da Monkey Ridge in Xin 'an County, Quzhou. I saw two vultures perched on an ancient camphor tree. The tree fork has built its nest here and given birth. From the vulture's nest, five little vultures with tender goose yellow feathers kept patting little wings and cooing, as if welcoming a gift.

Return a gift. I also visited the mountains and rivers of Dahouling, Xin 'an County, Quzhou: I saw the clouds around the mountain, towering and swallowing mountains and rivers, making it one of the best mountains in the world; There is also the Great Monkey Peak, which soars into the sky. Entering this mountain, I only feel that it is extremely quiet and beautiful. This mountain is unique and changeable, and the valley is extremely deep. In the mountains, the ancient trees are in the sky, the pines are whistling and the springs are tinkling. In my hometown, Tianzhu, Ling jiusan has some scenery. Huili said to the two vultures, "The old monk raised an altar for you, named Lingjiu Temple, as the sister temple of Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. Let's call this mountain jiusan. "

During her three years in Lingjiu Mountain, Huili traveled all over the mountains and rivers in Xin 'an, Quzhou. I find the people here very hospitable. However, in the early morning of summer and autumn in the field, the rainy season on the mountain ridge was vulnerable to the flood caused by Meng Jiao, so he decided to pray for the people. When he left for his hometown, Huili said to the two vultures, "Boss, you go to the highest mountain nearest to Xin 'an Lake, live in seclusion there, and guard the southeast of Baili Pingchuan. "There is a hidden hole on the cliff near Jiaochifeng, not far from the entrance of Lingjiu Temple. Nobody knows. Go there and surrender to the second child Meng Jiao. Lingjiu Mountain and Xin 'an Land will prosper one day, so wait here. "

These two vultures flying from the western paradise are very spiritual. Over time, boss will become a green cave peak, which looks like a chair back at close range and a vulture flying at a distance. The second child has surrendered to Meng Gao in Chifeng, Mengjiao for thousands of years.

In 2002, a once-in-a-century flash flood occurred in Ling jiusan, but all the mountains with temples and temples, including the ruins, were intact! Folks are also full of legends that Buddha blessed the mountain people. Out of emotion and reason, they all tend to believe that vultures have lived in Menggao for thousands of years and surrendered to Meng Jiao. So I had the urge to go to Jiaochi Peak in Menggao to find vultures.

I clearly remember that the climbing time was June 65438 +654381October+February 2002, the seventh day of the ninth lunar month. On the calendar of Yin and Yang gossip, it is written that "the daily value is unlucky, and major events are not suitable". But I am convinced that the Buddha is blessed with peace and is truly spiritual! I chose this day to climb the mountain to find the Griffin.

On this day, my partner was only Luo, director of Menggaoliao Village. The only tool is a wooden knife. After the catastrophic mountain torrents occurred in Lingjiu Mountain area on August 15, 2002, we were most worried that the Longtan Waterfalls at the top and bottom of Menggao Qingkeng were washed away by boulders. Therefore, we decided to see the waterfall before climbing the mountain.

When I set foot on the way up and down the Longtan Waterfall, I couldn't feel anything in my heart, because I witnessed the extraordinary mountain torrents in Lingjiusan on August 15, 2002, and the cruel hand of nature has strongly shocked my heart. What is the debris flow boulder in front of you? Thankfully, the Upper and Lower Longtan Waterfalls have not been destroyed! When climbing to the bottom of the upper Longtan along the cliff, the first feeling is still the same as before: pouring like the milky way sky! The upper and lower Longtan Waterfalls are about half a mile apart. On the way to Xialongtan Waterfall, I looked up at the peak of the ninth cave of Fengling in Jiaochi, and my eyes suddenly jumped: Why haven't these wonders been discovered before? The peak of Lingjiu Cave is combined with the slightly lower peaks on the left and right sides, just like a male vulture spreading its wings and flying in the sky, perfectly matching the waterfall from the Milky Way!

The top of Xialongtan Waterfall is connected with a deep ditch only two meters wide and thirty meters long. This is the narrowest part of the ridge of Menggaoliao pit, just like a giant whip. When going down the cliff to the bottom of Xialongtan Waterfall, the first feeling is still the same as before: "Hold the dragon queue." Consciously walked for half a mile, and then returned to the top of Lingjiu Cave and Xialongtan Waterfall, and found that the male vulture spread its wings and flew in the sky, perfectly matching the waterfall from the Milky Way!

The peak of Lingjiu Cave is less than 800 meters above sea level, but the front mountain is steep and can only be crossed from the back mountain. Lingjiu Cave Peak is followed by Jiaochi Peak. The two of us took a firewood knife and almost reached Jiaochi Peak. When I was about to climb to the top of the Griffin Cave, I met a big snake. From Jiaochi Peak to Lingjiu Cave Peak, there seems to be only a narrow bridge, five meters wide and about one hundred steps long. Strangely, when you stand in the middle and look up and down from the Longtan Waterfall in Menggaocuokeng, you can see the end, but when you look in the direction of Shiqingwu, it is a giant "sky frame" with no bottom. After crossing this narrow road, it is only a hundred steps away, and it reaches the peak of Lingjiu Cave. What's even more amazing is that the peak of Lingjiu Cave is less than 100 square meter, but there are three huge stones, one of which is 2 meters long and looks like a vulture's beak. The small head section is 0. 1 square meter, and the big head section is 0.5 square meter, 1.6 meter hanging upward, overlapping with the other two stones by only 0.4 meter. Standing at the foot of the mountain, you can only see a sharp dot. When you reach the top of the mountain, you will find the Griffin head with three stones combined!

It turned out that the couple's second child, brought from Lingjiu Mountain in India, turned into three huge stones at the peak of Lingjiu Cave in Jiaochi Peak and remained there for a long time. Together with the peak of Lingjiu Cave, it is a giant vulture, looking up at the sky to stop Meng Jiao from making waves! At this time, I-it was "the village was so fun that I forgot the plane"! The Griffin cave roof suddenly cheered me up! Luo, director of Menggaoliao Village, and I knelt down almost at the same time to pay homage to this vulture! Soon the vulture flew out of the cave to welcome us.

Huili, an Indian monk, two Griffin birds brought from Lingjiu Mountain in India, are still in Lingjiu Mountain! Still waiting there for 1000 years!

Jiaochi Peak is bathed in fog all the year round, and the foothills are characterized by "green, quiet, beautiful and strange". "Jiaochi Peak" is surrounded by cliffs, and the secluded rocks are still difficult to climb, such as cutting dangerous peaks. The land at the top of Lingjiu Cave belongs to Menggaoliao Village. If you open a path in Huangmengzhu woodland where Jiaochifeng land belongs, you can climb it.

Legend has it that nine lotus flowers float in the East China Sea and two vultures fly to the West. "Nine Lotus Drift in the East China Sea" means that the Lingjiu Mountains are located in the sea of ancient Wang Yang. Buddha said that the birth and death of the universe comes from karma, and the change of the whole universe is nothing more than self-emptiness and origin-extinction; Buddhism talks about impermanence because it understands that everything in the universe and even all beings are constantly experiencing four robberies, and the four robberies are constantly changing, and life and death are endless; Therefore, to borrow Buddhist words, Ling jiusan is nine blooming lotus flowers floating from the East China Sea. "Two vultures flying from the West" refers to two vultures brought by the Indian spirit jiusan's Huili monk, which is very spiritual. After a long time, the boss will turn into a green mountain peak, which looks like a chair back at close range and a flying vulture at a distance, living in seclusion here and guarding the southeast of Baili Pingchuan; The second child turned into three huge stones at the top of the vulture cave in Jiaochi Peak, like a giant vulture combined with the vulture cave roof, which stopped Meng Jiao from making waves!

At present, there are three natural villages, namely Menggaoliao, Dakeng and Fifty Mu, and 42 farmers, with a population of 1, 0 1. Two villager groups moved to Jiuhua New Village as a whole. In the plan to create a national tourist attraction, this area was named Lingjiuliao. It can be expected that the future Lingjiu Liao is not only the holy land of Lingjiu, but also a blessed place for meditation and recuperation! ?
