Where is Wei Zi in the old city?

"the mountain is not high, but the fairy is not famous." Liu Yuxi, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, left a well-known sentence in his famous book "Humble Room Inscription", which is catchy and meaningful. Weizishan, Wushi, Zhangpu, located in a corner of rich and precious land in southeast Fujian, is a true portrayal of Liu Yuxi's clever use of pens. Since ancient times, this mountain has been outstanding, and Zhong Ling is a treasure.

Driving about 20 kilometers eastward from Zhangpu County, I came to the ancient town called "Millennium Port Ancient Town" and entered the Wushi Mazu tourist area, and my close contact with Wei Zi began. Weizishan, also known as Longshan, is located on the north side of Wushi. The peaks on the mountain are beautiful and rugged, including Wei Zifeng, Qianshi Peak and Shuangjian Peak. Wei Zi mountainous area is rich in land, with outstanding people. Hard-working Wushi people have planted fresh vegetables and full rice with their own hands, turning the mountains and plains into a paradise for fruits. Here litchi is red, banana is green, sugar cane is rising, and peaches and plums are everywhere. They all say "beauty is delicious". In Wei Zi, "beautiful colors" are really edible, and the most mouth-watering thing is the heavy litchi fruit covered with branches. Thousands of Qian Qian fruits can always be seen nodding gently in the breeze, whether in front of the village or on both sides of the mountain road. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Master Jiuyun of Ziyun Temple also cultivated a large number of litchi fruit trees in Weizishan. According to Fujian Tongzhi, Zhangzhou is rich in litchi, and Zhangpu is the most abundant, mainly produced in Weizishan, Urumqi. Litchi varieties from Wushi, such as "Xiangpaozi" and "Mashangjiao", were listed as tributes by Qin Long because of their "sweet taste and beautiful color, but big and small stones". Among many litchi varieties, Wushi litchi is superior, so it enjoys the reputation of "Litchi Queen".

The Weizi Mountain in Wushi, surrounded by the Caspian Sea and with a concentrated atmosphere, has been a sacred place where Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and other cultures are inclusive and peaceful since ancient times. There are Wenchang Palace, Wang Gong Temple, Wei Zi Temple and Wushi Mazu Tianhou Palace in Fiona Fang, which are located on the land less than 1 km2 on the south slope of Weizishan. It is amazing that such a dense place for religious activities.

Walking up the hill from the right rear of Wushi Tianhou Palace, stepping on the stone steps and winding up the hill, grotesque stones can be seen everywhere, and a "Wang Gong Temple" dedicated to Xie An, the prime minister of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, is located among the rocks. Wang Gong Temple is also called Wang Hui Temple and Xie Dongshan Temple. In 383 AD, Fu Jian, the former emperor of Qin Dynasty who unified the Yellow River valley, led a million troops and invaded the Eastern Jin Dynasty by land and water, hoping to wipe out the autumn leaves with a gust of wind, wipe out the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop and unify the north and the south. In the case of success or death, the enemy was besieged on all sides, and the Eastern Jin war faction headed by Xie An rose to defend the country. On Xie An's recommendation, Xie An's brother Xie Shi and Xie An's nephew Xie Xuan led 80,000 northern government soldiers to defend against the enemy, and defeated Fu Jian's army at the foot of the water, leaving behind classic examples of fighting in the history of China War, as well as idioms and allusions such as "There are trees and grass on Bagong Mountain", "Trembling with the wind" and "making a comeback". The Battle of Feishui turned the Eastern Jin Dynasty from crisis to security, and formed a relatively stable situation of long-term confrontation between the Northern and Southern Dynasties. Later generations built a temple to commemorate Xie An's achievements. Xie An was honored as the King of Guanghui, the King of Protection, the King of Guanghui, the King of Ji Xian and the King of Guangying. According to Zhangpu County Records, Chen Yuanguang, a famous Zhang Guangguang star in the Tang Dynasty, once went to Zhangpu to build a temple with the incense of Gushi in Gwangju, and led one of his soldiers with the surname of 58 * * * to pay respects to Xie 'an. Since then, there have been Wanggong temples in many places in Zhangpu Village. In the main hall of Wang Gong Temple, there is still a history of "glorious majesty and outstanding achievements"; Respect for Wang Xiangui, rule the country with virtue and political integrity, and last forever.

About 30 meters away from Wang Gong Temple, there is a Wenchang Palace dedicated to "Wenchang Emperor". Wenchang Palace was built in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. At that time, private schools were generally set up among the people, so they were built to worship Emperor Wenchang, so that the stars could shine high and the examination hall would be proud. Later, due to the abolition of private schools, Wenchang Palace in Weizishan was abandoned and collapsed due to disrepair, but the site still exists. At the beginning of 1998, at the initiative of Shi Miaozhi, a mourner in Fujian, Wenchang Palace was rebuilt on the site of Wei Zi Academy in the Ming Dynasty, and the foundation stone for hoes was laid in person. After more than three years of hard work, Wenchang Palace finally unveiled its mystery and met the world. Width 13 m, depth 12.5 m, beautiful shape, double-decker temple building. Based on Wenchang Palace, overlooking the southeast, you can have a panoramic view of blue sky and clear water; Overlooking the surrounding area, Lilin Cape Sea is full of pleasant scenery.

On the right side of Wang Gong Temple, there is a Wei Zi Temple, which was built in the 13th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1552). It was founded by monk Sikh. It has a history of nearly 500 years and has a far-reaching reputation at home and abroad. Wei Zi Temple built a Buddhist temple centered on two huge stones, with natural caves on the left and right sides as rooms. There are basic facilities in the temple, such as the Buddhist monk's house, the Zhaitang, the Daxiong Hall and the Tibetan Hall, with a total construction area of more than 2,000 square meters.

Crucially, judging from the layout of various historical sites and temples preserved on Weizishan at present, it can be imagined that Weizishan must be a school of "peach blossoms, plum blossoms and Weizi Baihua flowers in full bloom; The prosperity of the contention of Buddhist and Taoist writers' families.

In the history of Wei Zishan, not only the morning bell and the evening drum resounded through the sky, but also the sound of books, because it was also the place where people with lofty ideals studied in previous dynasties. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, Wei Zi Academy was built next to Wei Zi Temple, where famous teachers and monks gave lectures and devoted themselves to cultivating talents. According to the records of Zhihe Stone Monument in Zhangpu County, there were 17 people studying here in Ming and Qing Dynasties, among whom 1 1 belonged to the Bushilin family, which also produced 25 jurors, 33 Gong Sheng and 80 court officials. Wei Zishan is full of talents, ranking first in the Ming Dynasty. In the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing (1559), he studied hard in Weizidong since childhood, and often went to Wei Zi Temple to borrow a lamp to study at night. Lin is a scholar. Lin, after a flower exploration, has been awarded a variety of positions, such as editing and editing of the Hanlin Academy, managing imperial academy affairs, serving wine in imperial academy, assistant minister Zuo of the Ministry of Rites, and minister Shang of the Ministry of Rites, which won the respect of the Wanli Emperor. Emperor Wanli specially gave Lin a plaque of "loyalty and love" in the imperial book. Up to now, Hong Kong Road in Zhangzhou still retains the large stone archway of the national key cultural relics protection unit "Tanhuafang". The success of Lin made academies and caves more famous in Fujian, Guangdong and even the whole country. It has become a sacred place for seeking fame, self-cultivation and cultivation. Students and celebrities from all over the world come here in an endless stream.

Next to the Wei Zi Temple, there is a Wei Zi Cave with a huge stone at the top. The hole faces south, 6 meters deep and 5 meters wide. Climb the stairs from the gap between the two stones on the left side of the cave, and the winding path is secluded. After entering the cave, you will be suddenly enlightened. Standing at the top of the cave overlooking, surrounded by mountains, the river bank scenery, panoramic view. Because many literati set foot in Weizi Cave in the past dynasties, such as the Ganges River, Wei Zi Temple also left many historical and cultural relics. On the stone wall at the mouth of Wei Zidong, the word "Wei Zidong" was inscribed by Wen Xiang, Chenglin, Zhangpu County, in the 28th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty. There is a stone tablet in the cave, engraved with "Wei Zidong's Winter Tour" and Huangyan's poems. On the right side of Wei Zi Temple, there is also a running script "Wushi Mountain is beautiful, Wei Zi has a different sky". Stone tablets such as Deep in the White Clouds, Infinite Buddha Nature and Pity for Yin written by Huang Daozhou, a university student of Wuying Temple in southern Fujian in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the stone carvings of Washing the Heart left by Master Hongyi when he visited Wei Zi Temple, have been preserved to this day. During the Republic of China, Liu, chairman of Fujian Province, donated money to fight against Japan and praised Wu's family. When he visited Wei Zi Temple, he also wrote a pair of couplets: "Heaven and earth create a true Buddhist realm, and the mountains and rivers are beautiful." All kinds of inscriptions, vigorous brushwork, simple and elegant, are the precious cultural heritage left to Wei Zi by literati in past dynasties.

Wei Zi is not only the place where scholars such as Lin studied, but also the place where "Master Miao Zhi", the only physical monk in Fujian, lived. Master Miao Zhi, common name Cai Songcang, was the abbot of Wei Zi Temple. 1996, 109 Miao Zhi, who was ill, came to Wei Zi Temple and lived in the West Monk's Monastery. With people's care and self-care, he miraculously recovered and became a story for a while. In 200 1 year, Master Miao Zhi was awarded the title of "Health of the Elderly in the Fifth Century in China", ranking first in age, and Chen Lifu, Dean of Confucius and Mencius Research Institute in Taiwan Province Province, awarded him the title of "Super Hero" Mo Bao. In 2003, Master Miao Zhi died at the age of 1 16. After several years, the body is still not rotten, and it is molded into a golden body for the world to pay tribute to. During his stay in Urumqi, Master Miao Zhi was merciful, enthusiastic about public welfare, willing to help poor students, help the disabled, adopt abandoned babies and plant trees. When poor people come to treat diseases, Master Miao Zhi not only accepts nothing, but also often pays for medicine himself. Whether it is palaces and temple courtyards, cliff stone carvings, or literati, monks and Confucian politicians, it has become a business card for Wei Zi.

Weizishan, Wushi, takes the aura of heaven and earth, absorbs the essence of the sun and the moon, is full of talents and the gods shine. Countless cultural treasures will be condensed into a bright pearl that will shine on both sides of the Taiwan Strait forever.
