What are the tourist attractions in Shangrao? What temples are there in Shangrao?

Tomorrow is June 7, and the college entrance examination will begin. On such an important day, some people will go to the temple to burn incense and pray, although they know that the college entrance examination has nothing to do with these, but it is also for peace of mind. If you are now in Gexian Mountain in Shangrao, please pray for all candidates tomorrow and wish them to be admitted to the university they want.

I deliberately chose to travel to Jiangxi after the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and what impressed me most in Jiangxi was Wuyuan, White Wall and Wamatou Wall in Shangrao. The ancient Huizhou scene in Spring and Autumn is even more amazing. So in midsummer, a man climbed the mountain with his backpack on his back. Gexian Mountain is a famous Taoist shrine in Jiangxi, but I don't know much about Taoism, and I have rarely been to Taoist temples.

The original reason for climbing this mountain is only because other mountains are short in the sky. And I heard that there are ancient buildings on the mountain, so I started climbing without hesitation.

However, this mountain is really the most difficult one I have ever climbed (except the plateau). The steep upward stairs remind me of an eighteen-plate section of Mount Tai, and my legs trembled when I went down the mountain. What I just didn't expect was that the whole stone steps of Gexian Mountain were also like eighteen plates of Mount Tai. This makes it harder for me to climb.

But surprisingly, when I climbed the whole Gexian Mountain, I had almost no distractions, kept my head down and kept climbing. Along the way, it didn't have much scenery, and the camera it carried with it was always in the bag, only willing to take pictures of the beautiful scenery on the top of the mountain.

I don't know if it's because Gexian Mountain is the holy land of Taoism. When I climbed halfway up the mountain, suddenly the fog filled me like a fairyland. The villagers living in the mountains said that Gexian Mountain is so foggy every day. But strangely, there are many Buddha statues and immortals on the roadside. In front of them, there is a small basket with a stone in it.

Is this the custom of China on Mount Gexian? Many tourists will throw change into it. This scene is almost different from all famous mountains and rivers, and it is the unique style of Gexian Mountain. This makes me curious. There are more and more clouds in the mountains, and I can hardly see the road ahead, or even the end.

When I walked to the Queen's Temple, I thought this was the top of the mountain. You can bypass the Queen's Palace, and there is a winding mountain road ahead. At this time, a mountain bearer suddenly appeared in front of him, followed by a man, who seemed to have come specially for the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain.

I found this in several small chats. He came to make a wish and bought a lot of incense and firecrackers-these are the burdens carried by the mountain man in front, weighing dozens of pounds. It is said that this Gexian Mountain is particularly effective, and many tourists and pilgrims come to make wishes every year.

But actually, I'm not interested in making wishes. I just want to get to the top of the mountain quickly.

The winding stone steps are a test and tribulation for pilgrims, and Gexian Mountain will open the cableway in August this year, and now the cableway is under intense construction. Just for sincere people, ropeways are not very interested in them.

On the way, I really heard a woman holding her child in her arms and sweating, saying, "The ropeway is about to open, but it is sincere to climb by herself." This is the inner world of pilgrims, but for me, why can't the cableway be opened earlier?

Climbing this mountain is really exhausting. Especially when going down the mountain, it is almost painful. The knees and soles of the feet are under great pressure, but the pilgrims who go up and down the mountain feel nothing. Some even go up the mountain to make a wish at four or five in the morning.

Is Gexianshan really so effective?

When I finally climbed to the top of the mountain and came to Gexianguan, I had to admire the position of this Taoist temple in the eyes of pilgrims. It is just incomprehensible that they will set off firecrackers on the left side of the door after burning incense and worshipping.

Let this land be bare and full of red residue of firecrackers. The smoke around Gexian Temple really can't tell whether it is incense or firecrackers. It is estimated that the two are together. I can't stand smelling my nose, but pilgrims are ecological and natural. Especially in the main hall, a group of young people knelt in the same place and earnestly and even obsessively begged for a visa.

But I wonder what they have been throwing. I walked over and looked. I played when I was a child.

Yes, it's fun-I pass by Tugong Tupo Temple after school, and I will go in and throw a pair of things that look like meniscus on the ground. I didn't know it was called "Saint _ One is positive and one is negative, one is yin and one is yang". In Taoism, it is called "Buyoubei".

Both of them are positive, that is, both of them are positive, which is called "laughing cup", which means that the result of signing is mixed. But if both are negative, it means that their wishes will not come true.

Saint _ can usually throw three times, which is why these young people kneeling in front of them are so serious and persistent, and there is a loud noise from the silent hall. However, in addition to young people, many middle-aged men and women came to beg for visas, bow down and burn incense.

Some even buy a very long and thick incense, and then sincerely light it in front of the candlelight of Ge Xuan's walking and sitting portraits. Surprisingly, there is an ancient well in the hall, which is said to have been built by Ge Xuan.

But there is no water in the well, and the depth is unknown. It's full of coins. It's unbelievable. In this well, pilgrims throw coins into it from time to time.

After signing, the pilgrims will also go to the left side of the main hall, where there are special Taoist priests to cancel the visa for tourists. Among them, many parents come for the children who are about to take the college entrance examination. In order to get a good visa, they climbed Gexian Mountain one after another.

But it seems more effective for Ge Xianshan to have children. A mother came here last year and asked for a second child. This year, she will make a wish and pray for her eldest daughter's college entrance examination. The Taoist priest helped them analyze in an orderly way. These tourists listened attentively, but some were smiling faces and some were very sad.

I really don't know how effective Ge Xianshan's signature is. However, people have come in succession, which shows that they have respect for it.

Standing at the top of Gexian Mountain, at first glance, there are not many outstanding natural scenery. The fame of this fairy mountain comes from this Taoist temple. However, behind this Taoist temple, there is actually a Ciyun Temple, which is located in the north of Huang Yu Pavilion. The temple is very small, and there are no monks. Just like Gexian Temple, the incense is flourishing.

This temple was built in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that there are many pilgrims in Dagexian Temple. For fear of overcrowding, a Taoist official invited the monks of Ehufeng Temple and set up a branch to manage the temple fair. The monk later established today's Ciyun Temple, which formed the religious and cultural characteristics of "one mountain and two religions" and "coexistence of Taoism and Buddhism" in Gexian Mountain.

It's just that compared with Gexian Temple, Ciyun Temple looks cold.

After praying and burning incense, the pilgrims ate a vegetarian meal and basically went down the mountain.

Although Gexian Mountain is named after Taoist Temple, the overall scenery is still shrouded in fairy fog, and it is a fairy mountain. In the near future, there will be a Gexian Town at the foot of the mountain, which combines Ge Xuan and Taoist culture. But what I am most looking forward to is whether this Gexian town looks pure Taoism or combines Huizhou architecture.
