Thousand Buddha Ridges, it sounds ordinary, nothing new. As the name implies, it should be the same as the Thousand Buddha Pagoda and the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, except that there are more Buddha statues.
It is located near Hengshan Mountain in Hunyuan, Shanxi.
I haven't been to many Buddhist scenic spots, all of which are covered with several temples, several Buddha statues on trees and an incense burner in front of the temple. It's just a matter of burning incense! There are really few things to see!
Take places of interest such as Hengshan Mountain and Wutai Mountain, which are no exception. Are all tourists who worship Buddha. Pray for the Buddha to bring them good luck! It feels so tacky!
After coming, the previous impression was completely subverted!
Thousand Buddha Ridges are different. It is simply a fairyland on earth with beautiful scenery. This kind of scene should only exist in the sky, so how can we see it on earth?
How beautiful! Listen to me!
It's early summer, flowers are in full bloom, leaves are green and the sun is shading. Through the mountain gate, there is an abrupt mountain forest ahead!
The left and right mountains are opposite, the left one is a little short, and there are many trees, mostly pine trees, with willows in the middle. On the right is a mountain like a sword. The mountain is full of rocks, such as knives, which are very sharp and can reach the clouds. That mountain stands tall, like a guard at the door, solemn and mighty! Between the two mountains, there is a long and narrow deep valley, which spirals gracefully and bends around the valley like a giant. It's smart. The mountain is alive.
As soon as I passed the mountain gate, the terrain suddenly rose, just like the crustal plate was squeezed and uplifted. There are many trees in front of us. Pine is the absolute owner of the forest, and its round crown is like a huge parasol. The green needles are tightened round and round to form the umbrella cover, and the branches are the umbrella ribs. Sitting under a tree, a cool breeze blows against my face, making people feel refreshed and refreshed. The trees are so close together that it is difficult for sunlight to enter.
Go further inside, and you will find that the tree is getting higher and higher. With the increase of the mountain, the density of trees is increasing and the light absorbed is getting less and less. In order to win more sunshine, every tree grows as high as it can until it hits the other trees below! That pine tree is a green army, and it will invade this land full of mountains and plains.
There is a narrow gravel road in the middle of the raised green steps. The slope is not very steep, but you must walk carefully.
Go straight along the path and you will find a small platform. Pine trees are not very dense, and are scattered sparsely on the platform. Several big pine trees stand on both sides of the road like guards, magnificent and full of security.
The tree is not empty, but covered with lush bushes, half a man's height, like many naughty children in groups, gathered in groups of three or five, plotting something bad. Especially the shrubs on both sides of the path are denser and greener. Walking in them is like walking in a green corridor.
We are enveloped by the aura of nature, and we are as light as flying. The breeze with the fragrance of flowers and trees is like a fairy's hand, gently stroking our smiling faces.
After a small step, I looked up and saw a pool of water lying quietly in the mountain stream. The water in the pool is not clear, but the lake is green, quiet and green, and the pool is full of water.
The pool is not big. If you can swim, it is estimated that you can put more than a dozen people in. Under the sunlight, the pool water is green, like a big emerald pearl embedded in this mountain. Maybe this is the eye of the mountain!
The water is bright green and covered with algae. The nutrients in the mountains were brought to the pool with the current, which gave birth to a large number of aquatic creatures, small fish, loach, and some nameless things.
As long as the wind blows, occasionally a few leaves fall into the pool, like a small sailing boat. From time to time, several fish surfaced for air, and the boat on it kept paddling. If you plant a few lotus beads in it, it will be another scene.
A simple stone arch bridge was built upstream of the pool. The deck is very flat, and the paved sand rustles like stepping on frozen snow.
Walking on the bridge deck, the road widened a little. Because it is under construction, there is no cement. However, I like this pure natural and undeveloped feeling, which keeps the most primitive authenticity of the land, is not eroded and destroyed by modern industry, and exudes a forest flavor of game.
However, when you get to the bridge, you will never rush up, but stop and watch. The beautiful scenery attracts you and surprises you!
The head of the stone arch bridge is the upper reaches of the stream, and there is not much water. Just now, you could hear the sound of running water, just like several girls who didn't leave the boudoir were talking in private words that only they could understand. When it comes to rising, they will give a silvery laugh.
The stream is as cold as ice, running and chasing, and everywhere you go, you are singing and laughing! The grass beside the stream couldn't help being tempted, so it bent over and plunged into the stream, regardless of its life.
The strangest thing is that in the middle of the stream, a group of magical sculptures appeared. Below is a Millennium chinemys reevesii, struggling to crawl on the stream, sticking out its long head and looking at the distance. The huge turtle shell is lifelike, and the hexagonal football-shaped carapace is arranged evenly and neatly. The most amazing thing is that there is a giant frog lying on the thick turtle shell. Frog is a towering figure. It is full of pride that I won't speak first and no insect dares to make a sound in spring. What's more, there are two buckets of stones on the giant frog's back. One side of the stone is long, and the long side stands. On the stone, a big moon character was written in official script, the square one was next to the long one, thick and strong, and a big Japanese character was written in official script.
I don't know what this set of stone carvings means, but I think it's novel and beautiful. Turtles and frogs are so lifelike that I can't help looking at them more. Behind this group of sculptures are lush mountains and forests. It is the most pleasant thing for several people to get together and take a photo with a beautiful background.
Walking up along the graceful gravel road built by the mountain, all the way is green, all the way is full of birds and flowers, all the way is clear, fast and cool, and all the way is full of laughter.
Daughter is the happiest, jumping and laughing, excited to see the beautiful scenery. From time to time, she breaks off a wild flower and puts it in front of her nose for a deep sniff, then gives a shout of wow, delicious praise. My wife kept taking pictures with her mobile phone, trying to put this beautiful scenery into her mobile phone and take it home.
Walking, a hare will jump out, jump quickly, stop in the middle of the road for a while, with long ears standing upright and turning flexibly, like a well-trained professional investigator. When the daughter saw it, she bent down, stared wide, fanned her arms and jumped up with excitement. White rabbit, white rabbit, dad, look at the white rabbit, she said excitedly. Hearing her daughter's cry, the rabbit swooped into the depths of the forest with a tingle. The daughter cried out in a hurry, white rabbit, don't run, don't run, come back quickly!
There are lush shrubs and delicate flowers on the roadside. Occasionally, I found several Shandan flowers with bright colors and long petals, bending and extending outward, like a girl engaged in yoga, with thin leaves and upright roots, showing great vitality. Against the backdrop of a large number of white flowers, Shandan Flower became a luxurious girl.
Shandan flower is not only beautiful in flowers, but also beautiful in root diameter. It is very white and tender, like garlic cloves, fleshy and thick, and the meat is extremely tight. When I was a child, I went to play in the mountains and often dug out the root diameter of Shandan flower and brought it back to the yard. Because of fun, the chance of survival is almost zero, and it is a waste of time.
We continued to walk up, and several unknown birds purred intermittently, like sweet words between lovers and welcoming words to greet us, feeling particularly cordial! My wife shouted at the Woods and echoed for a long time. Wave after wave, sound waves rush forward, through layer after layer of forest, over the green leaves of tree after tree. The sound is clear and bright, adding a touch of bright color to this already fresh green forest!
Going up again, the mountain is steep, the tree is high, and the road is getting tighter and tighter! Walking in the middle, I was surrounded by the towering Gu Song, covering the sky. It seems to be caught in the enemy line, and the sun can't shine at all, and it becomes dark. Although Hitachi is in the sky, I always feel that dusk is coming! The air is unusually clear, like floating from the snow-capped mountains on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. I am sweating, but I am not very hot. On the contrary, I will be more open.
The mountain road is quite far, and it took more than half an hour to walk. Everyone was so tired that they were panting. Looking at the endless mountain road, their legs could not help but tighten.
While speaking, I passed a corner, next to a small pool. I guess it's spring. I set up a canopy on it, surrounded by white stone, and put a plastic ladle on it. This is where monks get water! We are all excited at once, and we are almost at the top of the mountain! We came to the top of the mountain with full enthusiasm, abundant energy and brisk pace, and regained the prestige before going up the mountain!
The first thing you see is two stout pine trees, each with a thick hug, mottled bark and Cang Sang engraved with years. The branches are also quite thick and muscular, and they are several feet high visually. The crown of the tree is open, like an open giant umbrella, but more layered than an umbrella. First-order and one-price climb obliquely, looking from a distance, like two dark green clouds, floating quietly in the sky, witnessing the world of Cang Sang.
Behind the tree is a magnificent hall. In front of the hall stands a big black square incense burner, which is filled with smoke. Two pine trees, like two virtuous and Taoist monks who have been practicing for many years, are piously guarding the temple. There is a big iron bell in front of the temple, which was built by the old monk Du Shi. The clock is made of iron and painted with black paint and bright oil, which looks simple and dignified.
Further up is the Great White Pagoda. The tower is made of brick, with a pedestal at the bottom and a gourd-shaped tower on it. It looks like the White Pagoda of Wutai Mountain, but it is smaller. It is said that Qianfo Mountain is also called Liutai Mountain, which is the same as Wutai Mountain! The tower is surrounded by white marble railings, which are very elegant! If Li Bai comes here, facing this scene, I think he will sing aloud and compose a poem!
Standing on the blue brick and white stone hundreds of years ago, looking at the magnificent scenery in front of you, once you climb to the top of the mountain, you will feel the feeling of seeing many mountains and small mountains. The ancient wind-blown clothes are hunting, and the buttons are about to tear off.
The excitement of going up the mountain has long since disappeared, replaced by heroism and openness. I seem to have become a generation of heroes who point out the maze, standing out from the crowd with my forehand bent! The mountain is not sharp, but majestic. The east of the White Pagoda points directly to the Hengshan Mountains. Further south, there is a deep valley. You can see the shadow of the highway in the cage, just like sitting on a helicopter. The west is the highland, where the main hall is, and the north is like a sharp mountain peak, Song Bingzhai. It is said that this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, which is a rare land of geomantic omen!
Deeper in the tower foundation, there is a doorway. It is not big enough for a person to lean over, but it is very open and can be entered. Right in front is a statue of Buddha, solemn and kind, with a bun hanging from his ear. The cave is semi-circular, and on the periphery of the giant Buddha, there are small Buddha statues carved, each of which is lifelike and vivid, covering the whole cliff. Because of its large number, it is named Thousand Buddha Cave!
Being in it, I feel at ease, as if there is a powerful force controlling myself in the void, and my heart is shocked by this powerful gas field!
Out of the hole, my whole body seems to be covered with a layer of peaceful aura, which is very refreshing. Maybe I was moved by the Buddha's aura!
This is a sacred place, which can cleanse the soul, and it is also a quiet place, which can wash away troubles! Although remote, it is really cute. It is like a pearl left by God, waiting for you to discover and appreciate it!
