The Twin Towers in twin pagoda temple are known as "Jinyang Wonder" and one of the landmarks of Taiyuan. The "Lingxiao Twin Towers" was regarded as one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Taiyuan by local chronicles, but the original name of the temple "twin pagoda temple" was little known until it was replaced by the "Twin Towers Temple".
The Lingxiao Twin Towers, the tallest building among the existing ancient buildings in Taiyuan, are like twin sisters. Lingxiao Twin Towers, there is another nickname-double peaks in writing. The Twin Towers of Ling Xiao once amazed many politicians, thinkers and poets in history. Li Zicheng, the leader of the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty, once praised it. Li Weizhen, one of the seven great literati in the south of the Yangtze River in Ming Dynasty, once recited poems for him. Mr. Fu Shan, a famous thinker and artist in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, painted for him. General Yang Chengwu, a famous soldier of the People's Liberation Army of New China, once paid tribute to him.
For hundreds of years, literati and stunning beauties have cherished twin pagoda temple's "Lingxiao Twin Towers" as a unique artistic treasure or cultural relic treasure. However, it is not like this to test its story and study the reasons for its creation. These two twin sister towers, one is the "Wenfeng Pagoda" founded in the first place, and the other is the "stupa" built after it. Not only are they not built together, but their properties are also different. The so-called "Wenfeng Pagoda" is a Feng Shui Pagoda, that is, a symbolic and appreciative building with superstitious color in feudal society, where local gentry supplemented the topographical defects and revitalized the regional culture. Although its shape is taken from the floating picture of Buddhism, it has nothing to do with Buddhism or Buddhism. The "stupa" is a Buddhist relic, a religious building that offers Buddhist relics and hides Buddhist scriptures, and is respected and worshipped by Buddhist disciples. This is the "Lingxiao Han Tower" in twin pagoda temple, which is close at hand, but its essence is far from the same. Juewei Mountain Scenic Area is located 24 kilometers northwest of the city. The mountains are steep, pine and cypress are everywhere, mountain flowers are blooming in spring, and Qiu Lai is full of red leaves. "Rising Red Leaves" is one of the famous scenery in Taiyuan. There is a Duofu Temple at the top of the mountain, and there is a seven-level stupa in the temple. There are temple murals and Fu ink in the temple. Juewei Mountain Scenic Area is close to the urban area and has a pleasant climate. It is a place for tourists to visit and relax. The scenic spots in this scenic spot have their own characteristics, with convenient access, and the nearby beaches and famous foods have the characteristics and flavor of Shanxi.
the red leaves around the sunrise are one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Taiyuan and one of the top ten scenic spots of red leaves in China. The red-leaf plant Cotinus coggygria is a kind of wild shrub, and its leaves will turn from green to yellow, then from yellow to red, and finally to deep red after September. Before the leaves fall, they show their most beautiful and enchanting colors. Mr. Fu Shan loved red leaves all his life, and invited famous scholars Gu Yanwu and Yan Ermei to come here to enjoy red leaves, which also left many timeless sayings for later generations. Tutang Jingyin Temple was the residence of Mr. Fu Shan when he lived in seclusion in Juewei Mountain. The ancient temple was built in the Northern Qi Dynasty, rebuilt in five years in Jintai and rebuilt in the second generation in Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to the Records of Rebuilding the Loft of Earth Hall in the 2th year of Ming Jiajing, in the Han Dynasty, the earth hill here collapsed and fell into a cave, and the mound in the cave was as high as more than 3 meters, which was like a Buddha statue. The local people said that it was a landslide and a pure land of Buddhism, so they built a temple here. In this way, the local people also called Jingyin Temple the Big Buddha Temple. The giant Buddha in the temple is 9.46 meters high, with a dignified sitting posture and serene demeanor. It is the largest earth Buddha in China at present.
jingyin temple, located in tutang village, Taiyuan city, was founded in the northern qi dynasty. The temple is divided into two parts, the front yard has the Heavenly King Hall and the East Annex Hall, the middle part is separated from the hanging flower door by a wall, and the backyard is the Luohan Hall and the Dizang Hall. On the west side of the temple site, there is a double-eaved pavilion built on a cliff during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty for one Buddha and two Bodhisattvas.
The ancient cypress beside the temple grows strangely, and the "strange cypress in the earth hall" is a scene in Taiyuan.
The "strange cypress in the earth hall" in Jingyin Temple is also one of the eight ancient scenic spots in Taiyuan. I wonder if Mr. Fu Shan's favorite ancient strange cypress is here, and where is it? Is it because the tree is weird or something else? Now no one can say clearly. But there is an interesting folklore here, which means that the cypress trees around Jingyin Temple grew very luxuriantly in those days, but no one can count how many. A general who commanded thousands of troops and horses came here. He tried to count these cypresses clearly. He counted them all day and night, and put a small note on the counted cypresses as a mark. However, when he came here the next day, he found all the cypress trees with the same notes, and the number was unclear. The sunset on the mountain is colorful, and it's like an ant when it comes back.
The middle stream squeals and the sand flies in succession.
Looking back, you can swim across the river to celebrate the autumn. At that time, no one can be worried.
where is the flute and drum in the building? Polygonum cuspidatum goes to Bai Ou every year.
In addition to the natural scenery, the ancients paid more attention to the artistic conception. Just like this, the Fenhe River became one of the eight scenic spots in Taiyuan in the Qing Dynasty.

Mengshan is about 2 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan, located in Sidi Village, north of Jinci, with a main peak of 1,325 meters high. xiao yue of Mengshan is one of the eight scenic spots in old Taiyuan. In 551, Emperor Gaoyang of the Northern Qi Dynasty expanded the Great Zhuangyan Temple of the Eastern Wei Dynasty into the Kaihua Temple, and dug a cliff Buddha with a height of 2 feet, which is called the Xishan Giant Buddha, slightly higher than the largest Leshan Giant Buddha in China at present. During the reign of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, a new temple pavilion of Pigai Buddha was built. Tang Gaozong and Wu Zetian came here to pay homage to the Buddha and give the robes in the palace. Due to the collapse of the temple, the giant Buddha was submerged in the rubble, with only a little chest and neck (not much meaning), with a chest width of 25 meters, a height of 17.5 meters and a neck diameter of 5 meters.
Mengshan is connected with the peak of Taishan Mountain in Fengyu in the south, and Yeyu and Kaihua Valley in the north. Limestone mountain with white sand layers. From Kaihuayu to Niujiakou in the south of Jinci, the carbonate exposed section is called the underground waterway (on the Jinci spring fault zone), which is the main drainage channel of groundwater in Xishan area. There are faults as long as three kilometers, which are northeast of Yeyu in the north of the mountain and east of Sidi Village in the central plains of the mountain. Economic forest trees include Pinus bungeana, Platycladus orientalis, Betula platyphylla and Hippophae rhamnoides. There are Chinese herbal medicines such as cornu fence and Bupleurum root. Wild ducks, pheasants, eagles and tits fly in the bushes, and wild pigs, rabbits and roe deer haunt the mountains. Mengshan is rich in mineral resources, including coal, bluestone, lime, gypsum and refractory soil. Kaihuayu at the foot of Mengshan Mountain has a traditional pottery firing process since ancient times.
Mengshan is one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Taiyuan County, which was called Mengshan xiao yue in ancient times. Mengshan is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Since ancient times, emperors and generals have visited Mengshan to build temples and dig caves to make buddhas. History: Liu Cong of Han Dynasty conquered Liu Kun, plundered the people of Jinyang, and fled over Mengshan to the west. In 551 AD, Gao Yang of Wen Xuandi in Northern Qi Dynasty chiseled the Western Mountain Buddha in Mengyang Mountain, and Gao Wei, the queen of Northern Qi Dynasty, chiseled the Western Mountain of Jinyang as a giant Buddha statue, which lit up the palace overnight. The place where the Buddha statue is located is the ancient Dayan Temple. Before that, Tanluan Hongxiu, a monk of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, practiced the Pure Land Method, and Emperor Xiaojing of the Eastern Wei Dynasty ordered him to live in the Bingzhou Temple. The Japanese Pure Land True Sect Scripture was recorded as the Bingyan Dayan Temple, which is here. Gaoyang in the Northern Qi Dynasty gave Kaihua Temple an amount of money, and Daochuo, a high-ranking monk in the Sui Dynasty, was a teacher in Kaihua Temple, and he followed the teacher in the past. This is the early Dojo of Pure Land Sect of Buddhism.
Yang Zhong, the father of Yang Jian, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty, was a general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. He led his troops to fight in Mengshan and the Northern Qi Dynasty. Therefore, in the second year of Emperor Kai (582), Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty built a shrine for his father, Yang Zhong, which was called Wu Yuan Emperor Temple, and later called Shengshouguan. Yang Jun, King of Sui and Qin Dynasties, supported Master Hui Jun to build a giant Buddha pavilion for the Western Mountain Buddha carved by the Northern Qi Dynasty in the first year of Renshou (61) when Jinyang was the general manager of Bingzhou. Tang Liyuan and Li Shimin visited the Buddha in Jinyang. Tang Gaozong Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian celebrated for five years (66). Fortunately, Jinyang worshiped (this temple and Longshan Tongzi Temple in the south for more than ten miles paid tribute to the Buddha in the second temple). The following year, they sent envoys to give the Buddha colorful robes, and saw tens of millions of people making a sensation in Bingzhou. Li Keyong, King of Jin in the late Tang Dynasty, rebuilt the Grand Pavilion, which took 3, workers in five years. During the Five Dynasties and the Jin Dynasty, King Peiping stayed in Liu Zhiyuan, a temple in Beijing, and rebuilt the solemn pavilion, which was 13 rooms high with five floors. Liu Jiyuan built a summer palace at the top of Mengshan Mountain in the Northern Han Dynasty, and set up a royal bridge in Kaihua Valley. In Song Dynasty, Lianli Tower was built in Mengshan Kaihua Qiansi. In addition, Mengshan also has Ganquan Temple, which was built in the second year of Tiantong in the Northern Qi Dynasty (566). Wenying Lake, a children's park with a long history in Taiyuan City, was gradually formed by rainwater collection in the southeast half after the expansion of Taiyuan City in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, it was called Haiziyan, and it is said that the Ministry of Li Zicheng executed more than 1, Ming imperial families here. Haiziyan, two pieces of accumulated water, was penetrated in the Qing Dynasty, and was named Wenying Lake because of its waterfront near Gongyuan, which became one of the eight scenic spots in old Taiyuan.
When Sun Yat-sen came to Taiyuan in p>1912, he gave an impromptu speech to people from all walks of life at Wenying Lake. Since then, it has been named Wenying Park, Zhongshan Park, Xinmin Park and People's Park successively, and it was named Children's Park in 1982.
