Dreams fall under the stars and birds wake up in songs. At six o'clock in the morning, I gently pushed open my sister-in-law's door and climbed a nearby mountain. I only know that there is a temple and a tower on the mountain.
The rear learned that this mountain is called Lanyin Mountain, one temple is Lanyin Temple, the other temple is Hengshan Temple, and the tower is called Juli Tower. Lanyin Mountain Scenic Area also includes Mustard Garden and Liyu Cultural Park.
Since I became a daughter-in-law in Lanxi, I have passed the Hengshan Bridge at the foot of Lanyin Mountain countless times and looked up at the towering Juli Tower, but I have never approached it once.
The third day of the third lunar month. Spring morning on the banks of the Lanjiang River. Yellow rape blossoms, red holly seedlings, green bamboo and misty white fog are like fairyland. The sunrise in Ran Ran is rising, and the glow melts the white clouds in the sky. Chickens and dogs crow on the village road, birds sing on the branches, and cuckoo's tireless monotonous singing comes from the distant wilderness.
Along the Lanjiang levee, I came to the bank of Lanjiang River under Lanyin Mountain. Although the mountains are not high and the trees are lush, the tall spire seems to be spinning under the blue sky and white clouds. At this time, two cars came by the river, and several people in the van were fighting. Six or seven people got out of the van, wearing red silk corsage, holding a vase with a red silk tie, carrying mineral water buckets and two huge cylindrical white lanterns with the scarlet letters "Hudian Village" and "Xishan Temple" printed on them respectively.
A group of people walked to the river, inserted a pair of red candles and three incense sticks on the beach, worshipped Lanjiang and took water. Curious, they enthusiastically told me that the opening ceremony of Xishan Temple was held in Hudian Village, which is 15 miles away. They came to fetch dragon water to wash the face of the Bodhisattva. Today is really a good day.
Two cars went away in the sound of suona. Cigarettes curl up, candles shine, and the back is like Mount Hengshan (that is, Lanyin Mountain) in the black dragon. Facing the vast Lanjiang River, it is solemn between the mountains and rivers of heaven and earth, giving birth to a sense of solemn vicissitudes. This place is really a treasure trove of feng shui.
"Guangxu Lanxi County Records" records: Lanxi "the back pillow is layered, and Jiu Feng is in front. Northwest Shou Chang, Jiande Mountain, Ji line, cycle into an arch. Lanyin Mountain stands across, almost like a barrier; Qu and Wu ports stretch for hundreds of miles here and merge into a huge abyss. The land and water passage goes out of Fujian and Guangxi in the south and into Wu Hui in the north, so it wins Jiazidong. " As a tributary of Qiantang River, Lanxi has been known as "the confluence of three rivers", "the waist of six waters" and "the thoroughfare of seven provinces" since ancient times.
After wandering by the river for a while, I arrived at Hengshan Temple. Although I know nothing about past lives, I will worship him when he comes. The temple is full of incense and many pilgrims. Please put incense, candles, paper and matches in a red square plastic basket, which is said to be full of rooms. Pilgrims brush Alipay or pay cash, please take a basket, and someone asks you to grow incense. This full basket makes me a little nervous. The other party asked me if there were any college entrance examination students at home. I said no, just to seek peace for the elderly and children. The other party gave three pairs of red candles, a string of incense, a stack of paper and a match, which were also put in the basket.
I asked a pilgrim quietly: What day is it today? Back to say: college entrance examination selection. It seems that today is really a good day, and I have caught up with it.
Under the tree in front of the temple and in front of the table, some pilgrims are sitting quietly, piously folding paper into exquisite ingots and holding them carefully in their hands, as if holding their children's future. No matter when, where and who is sacred, I always pray that the people I love and those who love me are safe, healthy and smooth. I can't fold gold ingots, and I don't know the red tape of worshipping bodhisattva, but I also have a sincere heart.
Lanyin Mountain is not high, with an altitude of140m. I finally stood at the top of the mountain under the Juli Tower, which was overlooked for countless times, to touch the blue bricks with a sense of the times and look up at the wind chimes on the eaves of the tower. In fact, the history of this tower is only 22 years. This tower is 48 meters high and has nine floors and eight sides. Climbing the tower vertically, Lanxi has a panoramic view of urban and rural scenery.
Walking along the Wolong-style ridge, there is also a larger temple-Lanyin Temple, which is hidden among the green trees. I just burn incense and worship god. In order to catch up with the time, I crossed the temple and went down the mountain along the Panshan Highway.
I didn't do any homework, but wandered around Lanyin Mountain all morning. Go home and find Du Niang to make up lessons. What a shame. I worship and pray devoutly, but I don't know who I worship, and I never pay attention to the difference between temples.
Originally, Lanyin Temple, which was built in Dade period of Yuan Dynasty, was mainly dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, while Hengshan Temple, which was rebuilt in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty (1867), was built in memory of Saint Xu Can. In the second year of Liu Songtai in the Southern Dynasty (466), the secretariat of Jianzhou and his wife, Mrs. Mi, died in Hengshan Lake on their way to their posts. The people read their kindness and official virtue, and were buried at the eastern foot of Hengshan Mountain, and built a temple to worship them. In the Song Dynasty, Xu Can was named "Hou of Qing Ji" by the imperial court. The Hengshan Temple I visited was the Hou Temple of Lingyuan Qing Ji. In addition to the statues of Emperor Hengshan and four civil and military officials, there is also a golden body given by Wu Quxing, and Guanyin Pavilion is dedicated to the statue of Bodhisattva.
I don't know how many "idiots" like me are pilgrims who bow down devoutly. But no matter which side is sacred and which Buddha is worshipped, there is a saying that "sincerity is spiritual." In a quiet and holy place, let your heart calm down, hear the truest and clearest voice flowing from your heart in one breath, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon and the energy of heaven and earth, condense your wishes into a vigorous will to life, know how to fear, be alert, reason, advance and retreat, be a good person and do more good deeds. I firmly believe that you will be protected in the dark through all the rain and sunshine. .....
