Of course, you can also choose the following buses:
Road 3 15, 28, 30, 60 1 can reach Qingyuan Mountain.
Qingyuan Mountain is a national key scenic spot, which consists of Qingyuan Mountain, Jiuri Mountain and Lingshan Holy Tomb, with a total area of 62 square kilometers. Fiona Fang is a scenic spot of Qingyuan Mountain, located at 40 degrees in Li Long, with its main peak 498 meters above sea level. It is closely related to the mountain city of Quanzhou, and reflects each other, just like a bright pearl in the famous city of Quanzhou, shining with dazzling light and attracting many overseas tourists. In the history of Qingyuan Mountain, it is also called "Spring Mountain" because of its many spring eyes, and the city is named "Quanzhou" because of the mountain. The mountain is high into the clouds, also known as "Yun Qi Mountain"; Located in the northern suburb of the city, also known as "Beishan"; Because of the towering peaks, it is also called "Santai Mountain". According to the records of Quanzhou Prefecture, Qingyuan Mountain was first developed in the Qin Dynasty. In the Tang Dynasty, Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism competed for land management, and Islam, Manichaeism and Hinduism all had traces, and gradually developed into a famous cultural mountain where various religions coexisted. There are flowing springs, waterfalls, strange rocks, caves, overlapping peaks and green trees in the scenic area. Cultural landscapes, mainly religious temples, stone castles, Scholar's Academy, stone carvings and other cultural relics, can be seen almost everywhere in Qingyuan Mountain. There are 9 large-scale stone carvings of Taoism and Buddhism in Song and Yuan Dynasties, nearly 500 square cliff carvings in past dynasties, and 3 stone chambers of granite imitation wood structure Buddha in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Since ancient times, Qingyuan Mountain has been famous for its 36 caves 18 scenic spots, especially Laojun Rock, Qianshou Rock, Tomi Rock, Bixiao Rock, Ruixiang Rock, Tiger Milk Spring, Nantai Rock, Qingyuan Cave and Ci 'en Rock. Today, due to our limited time, we can't fully appreciate the charm of Qingyuan Mountain, so we can only leave some regrets for our aftertaste, or we can learn from them. The layout of Laojunyan is like this: the mountain gate-the tree-lined stone path-the statue of Laojun.
The gate of Laojunyan, the upper and lower platforms are arc-shaped, which is a variant pattern of Taiji and Yin-Yang Eight Diagrams. The natural stone standing in front of it is engraved with eight seal characters of "green cattle go west, purple gas comes east". This stone gate with interwoven curtains is full of Shan Ye breath, which sets off Laozi's thought of "advocating nature" to the fullest, making people feel happy to enter a fairyland outside things.
Along this quiet tree-lined stone path, there are banyan trees, the giants of the plant kingdom, on both sides, which are extraordinary in style. Those thick and long roots, like Laozi's long beard, show that Laozi's thought is "eternal" and full of vitality.
Now, the stone carving in front of us is the statue of the old gentleman who really enjoys the reputation of "Laozi is the best in the world". The statue of Laojun is listed as a national key protected cultural relic and a unique artistic treasure in China Taoist stone carvings. Carved in the Song Dynasty, it is still vivid and radiant after thousands of years of ups and downs. According to the Records of Quanzhou compiled during the reign of Qing Qianlong, "Stone statues are natural, and good people are carved in miniature." It shows that it is a natural giant rock in the shape of an old man, and it is a wonderful work of folk craftsmen. It was carved into a sitting statue of Laozi, a famous philosopher, thinker and founder of Taoism in the Spring and Autumn Period. Sima Qian, a famous historian in the Han Dynasty, recorded in Historical Records of Lao Zi's Biography of Han Fei that "Lao Zi's surname is Li, his name is Er, and his name is Bo Yang." So he is from Qurenli, Chugu County. Laozi's immortal work Tao Te Ching has a wide and far-reaching influence, as we often say, "Happiness lies in misfortune; Disaster, happiness depends on it. " Warn people that fortunes are always relative, and there is no need to be swayed by considerations of gain and loss. Keep a clear head at all times and don't be confused by appearances. His views are full of simple materialism. The statue of the old gentleman was originally surrounded by a tall Taoist temple, and the magnificent Taoist buildings such as Zhenjun Hall and Beidou Hall were quite spectacular. Later, the Taoist temple was burned down, and Laojunyan stood in the open air, becoming an organic whole with nature. Its survival is enough to prove that the ancient city of Quanzhou, known as the "Museum of World Religions", enjoyed a very prosperous Taoist culture in the Song Dynasty. Li Laojun rode a green cow out of Hangu Pass and wandered from Chu to Fujian. Probably he took a fancy to the land of "Quannan Buddha Country". !
Now let's take a closer look at the stone statue of the old man. The stone statue is 5.63m high, 6.85m thick and 8.0 1 m wide, covering an area of 55m. Because it is the largest existing Taoist stone carving with the most unique carving skills in China, it is also praised as "Laozi is the best in the world" by people in the field of literature and history. Vivid and lifelike modeling, exquisite and vivid charm, exaggerated and freehand lines, simple and honest connotation and artistic conception of harmony between man and nature make this stone statue of the old gentleman look particularly cordial and lovely, full of fascinating and inexhaustible charm. Look at it sitting on the floor, with his left hand on his knee and his right hand on his back. His eyes are smiling and his eyebrows are shining. You can really use "the wind is too fast, which means he can play with things." Strictly speaking, Lao Jun's ears and knees seem to be out of proportion, and his ears, shoulders and knees are particularly large, but this exaggeration and displacement just make people feel the flexibility of a gentleman. What people love and admire most is that the old gentleman in the stone carving is affable, with deep and wise eyes, a full face of smile, generous and approachable, full of a warm human touch, without any sanctimonious and dignified immortal posture. The expression of open-minded smile makes people feel amiable and approachable. In the folk, this stone statue of Laozi is also a symbol of health and longevity. There is a dialect in Quanzhou: "Touch your nose and eat120; Touch your eyes and eat 160. " It means that whoever touches an old gentleman's nose can live 120 years and touches his eyes can live 160 years. Of course, only little dolls will believe it. In fact, the air in Qingyuan Mountain is fresh, and it has the interests of Shan Ye. Often come here, benefit physically and mentally, don't touch your nose or eyes, and prolong your life.
After approaching the Millennium old man, at this moment we will enter the artistic conception area of "Brahma is in the valley". Now you can see this quaint natural ancient temple called Qianshou Rock.
Qianshou Rock, also known as Kannonji, is named after the Guanyin statue. Qianshou Rock is located in the left peak of Qingyuan Mountain, and the red walls and tiles in the temple are particularly fresh. The temple is dedicated to the statue of Sakyamuni, the founder of stone carving Buddhism in the Song Dynasty. The stone statue is exquisite and lifelike, which is one of the masterpieces of stone carving art in Song Dynasty in Qingyuan Mountain. Guanyin, with thousands of hands and clothes in front of the stone statue, has a kind heart and an excellent expression. The eighteen arhats on both sides of the wall have different expressions and feel like they are coming out. Qianshouyan Temple, all year round, drums and morning bells, incense, pines and cypresses in front of the temple, peaks and rocks covered with phosphorus, has a unique taste. It is worth mentioning that Gu Song in front of the temple has a history of more than 300 years. I wonder if you can see what's special about it? You see its trunk is divided into two forks, facing the temple gate, but not covering the Buddha's eyes, forming a beautiful angle with the temple, which is amazing. Gu Song is vigorous and tall, stumbling, like a charitable old man, welcoming guests from all directions with open arms. Therefore, it is no wonder that the guests of Huangshan, after observing this Gu Song, praised it as more beautiful and more enthusiastic than Huangshan's "welcoming pine".
Climbing from Qianshou Rock for more than ten minutes is Tomi Rock. Tomiyan can be said to be one of the essences of Qingyuan Mountain. There are flowing springs and waterfalls, ancient and famous trees, temple stone carvings ... the integration of natural landscape and human landscape is wonderful. Let's take a look at this "spring cave waterfall". You see, the clear spring water pours down from the steep wall 50 meters high, splashing pearls and jade on the bluestone, poetic and picturesque, washing away all worldly thoughts. Every time literati and poets come here, they can't help thinking. The stone carvings on the cliff, such as "washing the heart", "clearing so much" and "flowing paste", are still shining, which increases our enjoyment. I don't know if you are interested.
Next to the waterfall, this strange-looking epiphytic tree is made up of ancient banyan and Chongyang wood, which is like a "heavenly couple" with deep feelings, so it is called "heavenly couple is auspicious". It is amazing and imaginative to see them so close and inseparable. Many scholars say that it is the embodiment of Chen Sanwu Niang staying in her hometown. So there are often young couples here, and wishful couples snuggle up here and leave poetic commemorative photos. This shady tree, which is only a few steps away, is said to have been brought home from Taiwan Province Province by General Shi Lang more than 700 years ago, commonly known as "Lotus". Whenever the harvest season, the trees are green and red, with many fruits, which are hat-shaped, sharp at the top and wide at the bottom. They taste cool and delicious and have a unique flavor.
Going up again, passing through the Yuntai, passing through the "first sight", you will arrive at the Amitabha Rock Chamber above the Yuntai of the tall building. Amitabha Buddha Rock is the first batch of provincial key cultural relics protection units, which was built in the 24th year of Yuan Dynasty (AD 1364). It is a wood-like structure with a nearly square plane, backed by a stone wall, with a width of 5.6 meters. It rests on the top of the mountain, with a gourd in the middle of the main ridge and banners on the door. The relief of Amitabha Buddha on the stone wall stands like a statue, 5 meters high and 2 meters wide. It is dignified and generous in appearance, plump and amiable in face, with a bun on its head and lotus flowers. Its left hand is flat-chested and its right hand droops. According to Buddhist scriptures, this means satisfying the wishes of believers and attracting all beings to heaven. No wonder so many good men and women, when they meet Amitabha, all bow down and take good care of themselves.
There is a stone tablet on the right side of the right room, Rebuilding the Notebook Stone Tablet of Yuan Dynasty, which records the rebuilding process of Tomi Stone Carvings. The most valuable thing is that many simplified characters appear in the inscription, which is a rare and important historical material in the simplified history of Chinese characters. The platform in front of the temple is called "Yixiaotai", and there is a 3.5-meter-high five-level solid stupa on the left and right sides of the platform. Standing on a whistling platform, overlooking, the water is gurgling, the twin towers are towering, the red room is green, and the scenery is enchanting, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.
Quanzhou has a reputation as a religious museum, which is more prominent in the mother mountain-Qingyuan Mountain. Before, we visited Laojunyan (Taoism), Qianshou Rock and Tomiyan (Buddhism). Now, let's climb Bixiaoyan (Lamaism) together and enjoy the elegance of Bixiaoyan III Buddha.
Buddha III sat side by side on the lotus seat, with the main image about 2.5 meters high and the left and right images slightly lower. The Buddha statues are well-preserved, all in Tibetan style: the Buddha sends a snail monastery, and the treasure is strict. The face is wide and narrow, with double earlobes and shoulders, wide shoulders and thin waist, all of which show the right shoulder and put a corner of the cassock on the left shoulder. Clothing lines are represented by relief lines, which are still obvious despite vicissitudes. Stone statues have round headlights and body lights. The Buddha statue, also known as the present Buddha, is in charge of this world, and its statue is the magic phase of touching the ground, caressing the ground with one hand and facing the sky with the other. Zuo Zun is called the pharmacist Buddha, that is, the past Buddha, who is in charge of the past. He is also down with one hand and up with the other, only holding the bowl in his left hand. The statue on the right is called Tomi Buddha statue, which is the future Buddha statue. It is a meditation that releases the fixed tone, that is, putting your hands together on your abdomen. The steep terrain, exquisite technology and different shapes have amazed every visitor.
III Buddha is the main Buddha statue worshipped by Tibetan tantra (commonly known as Lamaism) since13rd century. According to the seal cutting of calligraphy and painting in Yuan Dynasty, in Tibetan temples in Yuan Dynasty, all the III Buddhas were enshrined in the "main hall", which was the main god of belief in Yuan Dynasty at that time. At present, the stone carvings of the giant Buddha III have been verified by experts as the earliest, best-preserved and most southeast Buddha statue of Brahma III found in China. There is a stone carving 20 meters to the south, which records that the III Buddha was carved in 1292, with a history of more than 700 years.
Famous monuments and strange rocks, with a quiet shadow, are a major feature of Bixiaoyan, with the "III Buddha" as the center and the southern side of the Guangqin Master Tower complex, which was built in 199 1 year. Behind it, we see the word "longevity" in the cliff stone carvings in the Southern Song Dynasty. The font is 3.5 meters high and 3. 15 meters wide, so it is called "the largest" shou "character in Fujian". Next to it is the sculpture of monk Khufu, and below it are the stone carvings left by several celebrities in the Qing Dynasty.
As the saying goes: infinite scenery is at the peak, you can climb from a height and broaden your horizons. The two scenic spots, Qingyuan Cave and Nantaiyan, can be said to be the highest peaks we have reached today, which are called "the grand view of mountains and seas". As the first cave in Qingyuan Mountain, Qingyuan Cave is rich in history, culture and religion in Quanzhou, which has high ornamental and academic value. Qingyuan Cave is also known as "Chunyang Cave" and "Shexian Rock". "Quanzhou Fuzhi" said: "Qingyuan Cave is extraordinary". In Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty, there was a Taoist named Pei who shed his bones and became immortal here, and offered a statue of the people. Why did Pei Daochang become immortal here? This is a mysterious and long-standing folklore. It is said that Taoist Pei killed people, chased the python that killed creatures to Qingyuan Cave, blocked the entrance of the cave, and fell. How deep is Qingyuan Cave? There is also a legend among the people that "Qingyuan Cave leads to Luoyang River". There are three temples in front of the cave: Peixian Temple, Guanyin Temple and Wenchang Pavilion, which stand side by side and complement each other. There are also a large number of historical celebrities flocking to leave countless victories; Li Guangdi, He, Jiang Zhili, Hong Chengchou, Zhan Bensheng, Ma Fushu, Shi Lang, Qingyuan Cave not only has profound historical connotation and rich cultural landscape, but also has extremely spectacular and beautiful natural scenery. Now let's enjoy the weather here. The mountains in this area cross, the peaks are undulating, and the level changes are very regular; The community is rich and colorful, evergreen all the year round, and has the characteristics of subtropical rain forest, from which we can see the ancient and famous trees that are still full of vitality after wind and frost. Between spring and summer, the clouds on the top of the mountain transpiration, and the pavilions in front of the cave are ethereal. Because the main peak is high and the lower part is boundless, there are mountain shadows reflected in Tianhu in the close shot, ancient cities in the middle shot and vast sea in the distant view, which constitutes a wonderful "grand view of mountains and seas". Nantaiyan is like a "castle in the air", with towering boulders and wide horizons. It is a wonder in the artistic conception area of "Grand View of Mountains and Seas", with the sea on the left and the Jinxi River on the right, embracing the ancient city, with purple hats in front and worshiping in the east and west buildings. There are also Buddhist, Taoist and Buddhist buildings, which stand close to the cliff and are surrounded by lush trees, and are also a beautiful scenery for tourists to climb and overlook.
