Features of Dazhu Mountain

Dazhu Mountain is famous for its majestic and beautiful scenery. Because it faces Zhu Xiaoshan from north to south, it has the ancient name of "two beads embedded in clouds" and is listed as the first scenic spot in ancient Jiaozhou. There is a temple named "Shimen Temple" on the top of Dazhai, the main peak.

Built in the fifth year of Jin Dading (1 166), it covers an area of more than 400 mu, including the Heavenly King Hall, the Ursa Major Hall and the East and West Halls dedicated to the four heavenly kings and the Buddha respectively. The temple gate is made up of three huge stones, hence the name Shimen Temple. Because there is a spring in front of Shimen, which is as clear as jade and full of pearls, it is named Yuquan, so Shimen Temple is also called yuquan temple.

There are many bamboos in the temple, which are all over the ditch and slope. There is Tallinn on the hillside on the south side of the temple, and there are 12 granite stone pagodas with a height of 2.6 meters and various shapes. It was carved in the Jin Dynasty and destroyed in the Cultural Revolution. It was restored in 1992. There is a lying elephant stone in front of the temple, and there is a grinding iron hall in the west of the temple, which is completely destroyed. Looking from the south of the temple, you can see that Xiongfeng is extremely steep, and the boulder on the peak sits like a giant Buddha. There is a stone on the east side, which looks like a young monk and a golden monkey. It is called "stone worships Buddha" or "golden monkey worships Buddha" figuratively. Wang Xinjian, a poet, crossed Shimen Temple and wrote: "The mountains and rivers are densely covered and the sea breeze blows gently, so I can't bear to set foot in England. The ancient temple should be in the bamboo forest, and the beautiful valley is vaguely wrapped around the Brahma Bell. "

Shimen Temple was destroyed by war in the 1940s, and now it is planned to rebuild and open to the outside world. The second peak-Shannan Peak is 330 meters high and looks like a building, so it is called "Wanghailou". Climbing from the sunny slope, there are many historical sites along the way. There is a "Zhushan Stone Chamber" between the cliffs on the east side, which is 3 meters deep, 2.5 meters wide and 2.5 meters high. There are doorframes and stone sills, and the indoor walls and floors are polished smoothly. The stone chamber is adjacent to the stream and connected with the original iron slab bridge. The original "Ma Yi 'an" under the cliff is now gone.

The top of the mountain is a broad platform. Looking up from a distance, you can see the sea from east to west. In the east of Dazhu Mountain, there are places of interest such as Xiangzi Gate, Nantianmen and Rebecca's nose. On the west side of the alley door, a mountain stands upright, often surrounded by white clouds, and looks like a hat from a distance, hence the name "Maofeng". There is the Temple of Xu Shu in the world. The temple is small, but it is famous. Won the respect of the people and fishermen in the four townships and eight neighbors. There is a shallow spring behind the temple, which is said to be able to get rid of illness and strengthen the body, hence the name "Shenquan".

Dazhushan is the most precious grottoes, mostly from Sui and Tang Dynasties. It belongs to a small grottoes, commonly known as "stone house", carved on tall rocks, containing the relief of Buddha statues. There are three well-preserved Jiagou Xishan Grottoes, Jiagou Nanshan Grottoes and Shiwuzigou Grottoes. There are 30 relief Buddha statues carved in the Xishan Grottoes in Jiagou, which are in the artistic style of Sui and Tang Dynasties. The Nanshan Grottoes in Jiagou are slightly larger than the Xishan Grottoes, with 2 1 carved Buddha statues, which are seriously damaged and difficult to distinguish. Shiwuzigou Grottoes are carved with 17 Buddha statues and six "flying" and "moire" patterns, which are well preserved. There are also natural landscapes such as Daughter Stone, Eagle Stone, Turtle Stone, Monk Stone and Bajie Stone in Dazhu Mountain, with vivid images. People often say: "The mountain is not high, but the fairy is not famous." The ancients called Dazhu Mountain "a famous mountain on the shore and sea", and its name was not "fairy" but "cloud". Dazhu Mountain is tall and straight, sea clouds are born according to the mountain, and sea fog permeates the mountain. When the clouds are light, Dazhushan is wrapped in a kind of cicada yarn, and the peaks are like sisters who have just woken up, dressed up, and some manners are careless; When the clouds are thick, the peaks stand in the vast sea of clouds, or fly over flowing waterfalls, or chop down rolling clouds, as if the sky is pouring thick ink and painting a magnificent picture; When the fog opens, the peaks are like beautiful women; When the fog closed, they seemed to fall into a beautiful dream.

Clouds are fluttering, and every peak and mountain seems to dance in the breeze; The clouds are red and the flowers on the mountain are in full bloom. Dazhu Mountain is magnificent, as if it were a spectacular garden in Xiao Yun. When every hill is covered with white and glittering clouds, Dazhu Mountain really becomes a string of magical jade beads. At this time, you will think of Zhou's poem: "It's better to hide smoke than to be multiform. Who will wear the first line of the nine songs?" Where the goddess is tired of swimming, the double beads are thrown at the edge of the water cloud. "At the eastern foot of Dazhushan, there is a valley called Zhushan Xiugu. This valley is five miles long, and the stream in the valley runs to the artificial lake at the foot of the mountain. Clear water and green mountains embrace each other, and clear water reflects Qingfeng. Tourists walk around the lake, and the stream flows into the valley, just like walking into a painting.

Spring comes early in Zhushan Xiugu. Before the arrival of Tomb-Sweeping Day, cherry blossoms, apricot blossoms and peach blossoms were in full bloom at the entrance of the valley. After Tomb-Sweeping Day, there were clusters of delicate yellow forsythia flowers and white pear flowers on the banks and slopes of streams in the valley. Spring breeze blows, flowers sway, golden waves surge in the valley, and snow waves fluctuate. Deeper in the valley, a flower-blooming mountain stands vertically, dividing the valley into two valleys.

Walking along the valley in the north, you can see the red azaleas on the shady hillside in the south, driving from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, even on the cliffs, with colorful flowers. Standing at the foot of the mountain overlooking the top of the mountain, the "flower wave" pours into the blue sky, making people feel that this flower is wheat straw floating down from the sky; Looking down from the height of the hillside, the "flower tide" is rolling, and fireworks and fog are all over the valley, which makes people think that this flower is a purple light born in the depths of the earth.

Walking on the stone steps between flowers, surrounded by the torrent of flowers, the waterfall of flowers, people are wrapped in the whirlpool of flowers. In Zhushan in April, the beautiful valley is full of flowers and people, and flowers and tourists have merged into a tourist tide. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you can see that several valleys in the south are also full of azaleas, which look like clouds from a distance. There is an ancient temple in a mountain stream on the north side of the main peak bridge in Dazhushan. Shimen Temple is named because it takes two huge stones as the gate. Shimen Temple was built in the fifth year of Jin Dading (1 166). At that time, there were buildings in the temple, such as Daxiong Hall, Tianwang Hall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower and East-West Hall. There is a clear spring under the boulder on the right side of Shimen, which is as clear as jade and named Yuquan. Therefore, people also call Shimen Temple yuquan temple. In the mid-1940s, Shimen Temple was destroyed by war. 1995, Jiaonan Municipal People's Government invested in rebuilding the Daxiong Hall and Tomb Tower Forest of Shimen Temple.

The environment of Shimen Temple is very beautiful. There is a gurgling stream in front of the temple, and there is a lying elephant stone beside the stream. A little further, several peaks are graceful. On the east side of the temple, there is lion peak; On the west side, there are strange stones such as "Bodhisattva meditation", "God monkey picking peaches" and "pig carrying his wife". On the south side of the temple, the "monk lectures" are vivid and lifelike; On the east side of the temple is Dazhushan Reservoir. A clear water surrounds the ancient temple, which is even more beautiful. Tourists fish here with poles, in the water, in the mountains and in the clouds. Walking south from Shimen Temple, you will enter Shimen Creek surrounded by peaks. There are pines and green vines in the stream, which are deep and gloomy; A winding mountain stream leads high and low stones to clear the pool, clear and quiet all the way. In the rainy season in summer, there are waterfalls hanging from the precipice, and the flowing water is like silver embroidery. It gently flows through an inclined stone slope, slides down from the mossy stone wall, and splashes silver beads and jade particles after falling into Bitan ... In ancient times, Shimenjian was a place where literati often went to parties.

There is a boulder on the west side of Jianxi, engraved with the poem of Wang Wujing, a scholar of Ming Dynasty: "Cold, someone is here. Cup after cup, cooked by the light of Mingxi. " The handwriting is still clear. He also left a poem "Flowing South from Shimen": "Looking at the clouds and sitting on a stone, forget about the wild flowers. Where is the cloud going? The sound of spring is weak. " Gao Fengju, a man wrote in Shimen Jian: "On the shore, flowers are red and water is red, and the sunset clouds move fish (once). Hu Ma Mo Wen Qinren Rice, only this scenery has Wuling. " These poems describe the scenery of Shimenjian at that time. Go up the mountain from Shimen Creek, cross the Aoyushi and Scissors Peak, and come to Mayi Mountain, where there is the site of Mayi Temple. According to the record of mending glue in the Republic of China, celebrities such as Chen Zhongju in Jin Dynasty, Zhang Qingyuan in Yuan Dynasty and Zhao Ant in Ming Dynasty once lived here in seclusion. On the cliff behind buddhist nun, there is a hanging stone room. The door of the room is exquisitely carved. The door is two meters high, with solitary roof, stone door frame and stone threshold. There is a lotus stone engraved with a lotus picture about 3 meters in front of Lishifang. According to the record of adding glue, there is an iron bridge between the ancient stone chamber and the lotus stone, and people can climb the lotus stone over the iron bridge and enter the stone chamber. The mountain wall on the east side of the stone chamber is engraved with the word "Yunxiao Hall". There are also the stone carvings of "Garden of Yuquan View" signed by Li Qingdao and others, and the inscription of "Taiqingyan" written by Sun Rong in Dade four years of Yuan Dynasty (130 1).

There is a "flying stone" on the east side of the temple, and the word "Chaoyangdong" is engraved on the forehead. There is a "talking stone" in front of buddhist nun. It is said that under the stone, there is a stone grinding the bottom, revealing the fireworks atmosphere here in the past. There is a platform to the west of buddhist nun. The stone building foundation is very regular. Standing here, you can see Lingshan Bay in the east and Longwan in the west. This is the old address of Wanghai Building. There was a period when Buddhism flourished in ancient times in Dazhushan. There are Shimen Temple, Tomb Pagoda Forest, Mayi Temple Site, Dizang Temple, Chrysanthemum Temple, Motie Temple and other relics in the mountain. According to legend, there are as many as 99 grottoes on the mountain, and now there are three well-preserved ones: Jiagou Nanshan Grottoes, Jiagou Xishan Grottoes and Shiwuzigou Grottoes. Dazhushan Grottoes are unique among the existing grottoes in Shandong, which has attracted the attention of Buddhist academic circles, and many scholars have come to visit and study with great interest. After investigation by experts, it is believed that these three grottoes were all built during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and some are said to have been built during the Northern Qi Dynasty.

There are many strange peaks and rocks in Dazhu Mountain. When you take National Highway 204 and cross Dazhu Mountain, you will see a stone turtle struggling to climb to the top of the mountain on the slope of Nanshan Mountain. According to legend, it was originally a golden turtle in the jade pool of the Queen Mother. When the Queen Mother held a flat peach party, she slipped along the Tianhe River to the East China Sea and climbed to Dazhu Mountain. Looking on the hillside in the north, you will see a tall stone that looks like a girl with a basket. There is also the "Eagle Stone" at the top of Nanshan Mountain, and the "Monk Stone" in Beishan wearing a cassock and leaning on a mord.

In the middle of Dazhu Mountain, there is a mountain peak, much like the Tang Priest and his disciples are on their way to the Western Heaven to learn Buddhist scriptures. A mountain peak in the north of it looks like a towering horse. There is also a mountain peak, which is simply a vivid Zhong Kui. The peaks such as "One Finger Reaches the Sky", "Zhongfeng" and "Xianren Bridge" are all created by nature for innovation.

There are many stones in the mountains that seem to be spiritual. The more I look at them, the more I feel that they are static and moving. Strange stones such as "seeing the sentence clearly", "sage asking for directions", "playing chess between monks and Taoist priests" and "inviting Guan Yu to fight" are lifelike.
