This morning, my mother and I went to visit Xuanwu Mountain.
When we walked into the gate, we saw the hall. We can't wait to walk into the main hall. In the center of the hall is a bronze statue-God Tian Xuan, with a snake and a turtle at his feet. There are two marshals on the left and right of Tian Xuan God, which are collectively called "Four Grand Marshal". There is a small house on the left and right sides of the main hall. There are nine arhats on the left and right sides of the hut, which are collectively called eighteen arhats.
Opposite the main hall is a big stage, wide and flat. In the upper left corner are seven or eight gray-haired old people playing Chaozhou music together. The music is beautiful, I am intoxicated!
After getting off the big stage and passing the studio, we came to the back hill, where the air is fresh, the trees are lush and cicadas are singing. Those children are annoyed by the cicada's cry, or for some reason, they are catching cicadas separately. Those old people are in groups of five or six. Some are chatting, some are playing cards and some are practicing Qigong. Go right and I see a pavilion. There is a stone tablet in the pavilion. The stone tablet is engraved with the four characters "outstanding people and outstanding spirits", and it is also indicated that it was inscribed by the painter Liu Haisu.
We walked out of the back hill and came to the vegetarian restaurant. The words "Welcome" are posted in the vegetarian restaurant, and there is a tree outside the vegetarian restaurant-"Murraya". "Murraya murraya", also known as "Senecio scandens", has been growing for 100 years and is listed as one of the four major bonsai in Lingnan.
Finally, we came to Fuxing Building. The stairs of Fuxing Building are spiral. Standing at the top of the tower, the whole jieshi town is clear at a glance, and the wind is blowing head-on, which is very cool.
My mother told me that "Xuanwu Mountain", formerly known as "Yuanshan Temple", was built in the first year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 127) and expanded in the fifth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1577). The architectural pattern is a group of symmetrical palaces with quadrangles. There are 99 buildings such as the front hall, the middle hall, the main hall, the annex hall and the wing room. There is an outer mountain gate and a big stage in front of the temple, and there is a Fuxing Tower and a Simei Pavilion behind the temple. Its four protection ranges are calculated from the central axis of the main building of the main hall: 77.5m east, 270m south, 82.5m west and 300m north, with a total area of 54,630m2. There are many plaques and inscriptions given by Tongzhi Emperor of Qing Dynasty, national heroes Lin Zexu and Liu Yongfu, as well as precious cultural relics such as stone tablets carved by celebrities in previous dynasties. It is a large-scale building and cultural relic.
I am really proud that my hometown has such a beautiful and famous place!
