Approaching Lin Dong's Prose

Lushan Mountain, with the Yangtze River in the north and Poyang Lake in the east, is elegant and Ming Xiu, picturesque and heroic. The sea of clouds, waterfalls and cliffs are known as the "three wonders" of Lushan Mountain, and the sea of clouds is even more spectacular and desirable.

In mid-spring March, when you go to Lushan Mountain to see the scenery, you have to "recognize the true face of Lushan Mountain" and turn your good wishes into quick actions. We take the fast-track "Changjiu" highway, from Nanchang to Jiujiang, turn to the south foot of Lushan Mountain, go to Tolin Temple via Lindong Giant Buddha, and then visit the Grand Canyon.

Lindong ancient temple

Located at the west foot of Lushan Mountain in Jiujiang City, it is named after being located to the east of sairinji. Tuolin Temple was built in the 9th year of Dayuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (384), and it is one of the temples with a long history in Lushan Mountain. Climbing the stairs, there are three gates in Toringi. The middle gate is closed, and tourists and pilgrims can only enter and leave through the side doors on both sides.

There are door couplets on both sides of the gold plaque: "According to legend, the love of Buddhism in Aurora began at the Lotus Club, and Xu Jingui crossed the Tiger Creek." Enter the temple to feel the profoundness of Buddhist culture and pray for your family.

In front of the temple, a "violet tower" reflects sunlight, golden light and shining colors. The buildings under the blue sky and white clouds attracted me to look around, too many things to see. Suddenly, a big stone tablet came into view. A closer look at the inscription "Japanese Pure Land Sect gives back to Yu Dou for planting karma" was written on1April 8, 937. Erjin is the Hall of Great Heroes, with spacious and tidy courtyard and spectacular momentum.

On June 27th, 20 16, the opening ceremony of the Third Pavilion of Pure Land Garden of Tolin Temple was held here, and the maintenance project of the Giant Buddha was started. Now that the capital construction has been completed, it has not yet opened.

In front of the temple, it is said that the main hall in Torinji was short of wood, and Master Hui Yuan planned to build a house on the mountain. One day, the God of Dream Mountain in Yuan Gong night told me that it was quiet enough to inhabit God. In the middle of the night, there was lightning and thunder, and it was stormy. At dawn, a lot of good wood poured out of the pond in front of the temple, which solved the urgent need of Master Hui Yuan. Later generations named the temple built with this kind of wood "Shenyun Hall". The pond where the wood spews out is called "out of the wood pool". Not far away, there is a Six Dynasties pine, which is flourishing and huge. According to legend, this pine was planted by Hui Yuan, whose real name is "Luohansong". Since it was planted in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, it has been 1600 years, so it is called "Six Dynasties Pine". It has always been known as "the first pine in Lushan Mountain".

There is a Lindong Cultural Relics Exhibition Hall next to the temple, and there are two stone tablets outside the door. The vertical tablet "Tolin Temple" was written by Mr. Zhao Puchu at the age of Ding Mao in 1987. The horizontal tablet "Lushan Tuolinji" was established by Jiangxi Provincial People's Committee on 1 July, 9571day, which is a key cultural relic protection unit in Jiangxi Province. Walking and watching, the word "Lianchi" in the middle of a rectangular slate attracted me to savor it. Qiu Yang Chengwu mentioned. It turns out that before 19901October 18, General Yang Chengwu had been to Tuolin Temple and rebuilt the lotus pond, which made him happy to write. The collection includes Bao Han (the third year of Tang Huichang), Shuicao (the Tang Dynasty), the base of the tomb tower (the Song Dynasty), Keelung Kiss (the Yuan Dynasty), Kang Youwei's tablet (the Qing Dynasty) and stone statues (the Western Regions).

Among the "Three Monks in Xunyang", there are two masters, Hui Yuan, Zhang Ye and Zhang Quan, friends of Tao Yuanming. Huang Tingjian, a poet in the Northern Song Dynasty, once wrote a poem praising: "The eighteen palaces have beautiful scenery, and the Lushan Mountain has a cool breeze through the ages. It is difficult to suppress the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, which is the same as the origin of Bailian religion. " Yuanming lived in seclusion for 22 years and kept close contact with Master Hui Yuan. After the death of Tao Yuanming, his relationship with Torin Temple became a legendary story.

In the Ming Dynasty, Tao Yuanming's "Gathering Eyebrows" and "Gathering Eyebrows Poems" were hung in the Long Snake Pavilion of Torin Temple, indicating that Torin Temple would never forget this friend from outside.

Lindong Grand Canyon

Lindong Grand Canyon, Lin Xiu is lush and picturesque. It is a part of Lushan Mountain, a national 5A-level scenic spot. After lunch at Woyun Mountain Villa, enter the Lindong Grand Canyon of Lushan Mountain, and you will be greeted by the rushing Tiger Creek under the Tiger Bridge. At the edge of Huxi Spring, there is a lifelike root carving tiger artwork, which is made of a thousand-year-old camphor tree and looks daunting.

The natural landscape here is formed by seasonal sandstone, among which 100 waterfalls and pools cascade and gush all year round, making it the largest waterfall group in Lushan Mountain. Vines grow at the bottom of the valley, and the scenery is beautiful and magnificent. It has the reputation of "the first gorge of Lushan Mountain" in ancient times. The canyon consists of sleeping cloud ridges and scissors canyons. After more than 70 million years of Yanshan orogeny and the U-shaped valley nesting of Quaternary glaciers, it is a rare landscape integrating mountains, rivers, caves, springs, waterfalls and valleys. With Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism as the core, there is a lecture platform for Kuang, the ancestor of Lushan Mountain, to continue to live in seclusion and cultivate immortals, and Hui Yuan, the ancestor of Pure Land Buddhism, to give lectures.

Along the way, we went deep into the mouth of the ancient peach blossom garden in Lushan Mountain and walked along the flaky mountain road, which became steeper and steeper. There is a saying: you can't find a place to get it, and you don't need to spend any effort to get it. Inadvertently came to Tao Yuanming's mysterious hometown-"the site of the west foot of Tao Yuanming".

According to legend, when Tao Yuanming lived in seclusion in the west of Lushan Lake, he carved the word "Peach Blossom Garden" on a boulder and left it behind. Pastoral life made his poetry prosperous. After he finished writing poems every day, he scrubbed the inkstone and brush in the nearby pool. Later generations called the place where he washed the inkstone "Mo Chi". There is a boulder nearby, and he often studies on this platform. Every year in the third month of the lunar calendar, people will come to the "reading desk" to pay New Year greetings to Mr. Wu Liu. Most of them pray for their children and grandchildren to be protected and become the number one scholar, Deng Ke and his younger brother. This custom has been passed down to this day.

The former residences at the west foot of Yuanming include "Washing Mo Chi", "Reading Desk" and "Peach Blossom Garden". In a trance, I saw Tao Gong squatting beside Mo Chi to wash ink and inkstone; Looking up, I seemed to see his silent back in front of the reading desk. In an instant, I traveled through time and space, and an illusion collided with the ancients.

Tao Yuanming built the "West Foothill" to hide the Tiger Creek, and often lived next to Liu Chengzhi, one of the three hidden places in Xunyang. They shared the same interests, wrote poems together, enjoyed the scenery together and experienced the life in a paradise. During this period, Mr. Wuliu left many well-known poems. For example, famous sentences such as "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely". At present, only this site and remains are left for visitors to admire.

Bai Juyi first entered Lushan Mountain and visited Huxi. He wrote the poem "Going out of the Mountain" with emotion: "Singing fairy poems in the morning and singing Wei songs at dusk. Lying in the clouds and sitting on the white stone, fifteen nights in the mountains. Go out of the hole with the water and return to the rock bamboo. Come back in the morning and evening, my heart is green. " From then on, the descendants of Liu Cheng, one of the three hidden places in Xunyang, called this Woyunlong.

According to legend, when the seven brothers Kuang Sima built a house in Lushan Mountain, they absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, gathered the essence of the sun and the moon, day after day, year after year, and finally soared here by crane, achieving immortality. Later, people called the place where Kuang Xu's seven brothers became immortals "Denggaotai". When we went to Kuangxu Temple via Shousheng Bridge (also known as Jingming Zhenjun Temple), we saw the words "Shousheng Bridge" on the stone carving at the bridgehead, and there was a small line on the side: "I walked on Shousheng Bridge and lived for more than 99 years". This is where Kuang continues to cultivate immortality.

On the occasion of Emperor Wudi's southern tour, Kuang continued to live in Jingming, and ordered Kuang to stay in the old secluded temple. This is the origin of this temple. Later generations will continue to call Kuang Lu. Before the Song Dynasty, Lushan Mountain was always called "Kuanglu". In the Song Dynasty, it was renamed Lushan Mountain to avoid Zhao Kuangyin in Song Taizu.

Legend has it that at the end of Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's water army and Chen Youliang's water army came to Poyang Lake. In the Kanglang Mountain War, Zhu Yuanzhang was defeated and had to lead down archers to bypass Lushan Mountain. On the way, the road was cut off by a deep stream, making it impassable. At this time, the pursuer was approaching, and at the critical moment, a thick fog suddenly appeared in the direction of Jinxiu Valley, drowning people in the diffuse fog. A dragon descended from the sky and seemed to straddle two cliff tops.

It is also the "36 blessed places" of Taoism. There is a connection in the doorway on the left: the cloud is deep and the dragon listens to the waterfall, and the book is quiet and the crane peeks at chess. Lushan Scissors Gorge is the best choice for viewing waterfall clouds. The canyon faces north, and the north wind dances vigorously. Waterfall clouds pour down like a galaxy, like a plain waterfall, like a pale sand curtain, and sometimes like a dragon rushing into a canyon. Just like the predecessors said with emotion, "The true face of Lushan Mountain is the best in the world. If you don't believe me, please visit Scissors Gorge.

Lindong Canyon also includes Tianhu Waterfall, Wulongtan Double Waterfall, Hidden Waterfall, Youlong Stone Waterfall, Guniutan, Longxu Spring, Shuilian Spring Waterfall and Wofo Peak. Tourists climb mountains and wade together to enjoy the waterfall. The beautiful scenery pays off, the mountain wind fluctuates, and the haze overflows, which is beautiful.

Lindong Ancient Temple always shines on me with great sadness and indefatigability. Generally, it looks like a mirror reflecting the moon, with flowers in the west. It is clear that there is nothing in the south. The words impress you and are fresh in your memory. Lushan Waterfall is endless, shadowy and fluttering. Throughout the ages, people have attributed "not knowing the true face of Lushan Mountain" to a changeable sea of clouds.

Approaching Lindong is illusory, vague and heavy abstraction. The "Xanadu" in Lindong Canyon has been fixed as an excellent beauty in my eyes, which is fascinating and intoxicating.
