Better years ago, when I was in school, there is a school a semester called "ancient Chinese architectural history" class, which spoke of religious architecture. Materials on the one mentioned in the Western Hills of Beijing chauffeur ear camp in the village, there is a period of Northern Wei Dynasty Stone Buddha - Wei Wo statues. Car ear camp and I was a student that the school the same Haidian District, are separated by more than 20 years, to the weekends, students will accompany several of our car ride to go over there.
Simon out of the school, there is the Summer Palace to the main street straight to the bottom of the garden in front of the archway on the north Shui Po, bypassing the high garden walls, from the Kitamiya inserted down the door, at a place called Tsing Lung Bridge place over the bridge, then follow the river north has been left. A narrow asphalt road sandwiched between the children when one side is on the hill side of the water. That area is called the hill areas, corporations are Beijing suburbs, but sparsely populated, without the slightest urban atmosphere, traversed by a string of names - Red Yamaguchi, Montenegro Hu, Han-chuan, wolf's den, 7 Wang Fen ... ... sounds completely like wild. Mountain pricey quite steep, and not seen a road to go up in the mountains covered with pine trees, so green all year round. Ting Qingliang water, the shore, children have been hanging willow branches into the river, the river occasionally Jian Zhao played 12 teams bush pole, the total fishing secretly someone or a group of ducks in the self-serving manner swimming, shining white hair sticking to the grass on the slope.
That he could have flowed from the Miyun Reservoir, Tongzhou to go, but I think the top of this section, after a few quiet, Haidian Hill. To a woman who ordered too much boat dock where he was also punched Waner, there are blocks of small rusty iron bridge take the past, looked really like paintings children. The hot springs forward and then do not rely on mountains, and river shore that the road here are the fields. Hot Springs is a very busy large town, is located with several major units, built living quarters of the building into a film. That is because the area near the river, from ancient times out of lotus root, and Ting You were children of the West Beijing rice, summer flowers into the film, golden autumn years in Montreal.
After a hot spring forward, it has restored peace and quiet has been reached under the Xishan forest Yamane, Road to the Boss, and taking the road began to climb. 1 into the mountains at a small temple there is dilapidated, plaque is written in Longquan Temple, a similarly dilapidated small stone bridge across a mountain stream, leading to entrance. At that time the temple gate was locked, as if the base of a certain unit, only to see a great courtyard out the walls of the ginkgo tree leaves and branches, higher than the Fang Ji.
Longquan Temple, from the opposite gate of a dirt road forward, bumps and hollows, turn left, turn right, close with a few low ridge, called the car that went to the little mountain village of ear camps, here is to Miaofengshan old pilgrimage trail starting point, Although the village is small, considerable fame. Where the villagers are now living plant fruit trees, stone Buddha on a hillside in the village, surrounded by mountains on all potential and built a dwellings. That statue was locked in a Western classical style of a small house, nobody, door seal, as if there is a sign that read this little house is a few decades on behalf of the scholars living in America to come back to chip in to build for the protection of Stone Buddhas The.
We look inside Pazaichuangkou looked under the door, light dark, did not look at anything. But finally the found the ancient stone Buddhas, but also regarded as a worthwhile trip. Shi Hai team down the homes in the forest where children bought quite a few just off to the big peach, although the car basket put Britain back to school all the way to ride a lot of bad can it really honey peach like to eat them still feel very good taste .
Zaiqu car business is a good ear for many years after, and Napian Xishan Forest Farm has been developed into is called "Phoenix Ridge" of the scenic spots, Longquan Temple modification of a new, open reception to visitors, to the car business to the ear has also repaired the road, car can always open to the bottom Nazuo Stone Buddhas.
This time Nazuo opened the door of a small house, buy a ticket inside, which pick up clean, and there is a young woman looking at the local gas. That statue is not high, but two meters, looking Qing-Qing Xiu Xiu, the Buddha who also brings a number of age-old, have made some color painting. Coincides with the fall in the mountains have been an orchard park was advertised waiting for visitors to pick. Car ear camp almost every village, every yard planted persimmon trees, standing on the hill to the Si Xiali looking everywhere glistening yellow in the tree branches covered with a big persimmon.
Phoenix Ridge in that back about six months after the tour, you see the message in the newspaper that the car ear camps in Northern Wei Dynasty Stone Buddha statue was lost. The place is through tourism development, the roads are wider, also for the stolen artifacts were shipped to provide more convenient. In this village quietly spent hundreds of thousands of years, Wei Wo statues, overnight, were driving out of the mountain, whereabouts are unknown.
Probably took another year, or in the newspaper, another message said that stealing and selling artifacts Quyang uncovered a gang, in which a member's home, dug up the statue in the car was stolen Buddha ear camps.
Quyang is a county in southern Hebei Province, not far from the provincial capital Shijiazhuang, school garden when I was given a small stone building customized and mentors have been with the place. Where the stone since ancient times in order to consummate artistry known throughout the country, said that the Forbidden City, Summer Palace and other royal buildings of white marble stairs, railings and many are from Quyang craft artisans. Remember that back It's over, stone carving factory friend also accompanied us went to see the county where the dongyuemiao,那座age-old temples were magnificent and my teachers, as the construction industry celebrities are really impressed. Prior to departure, our friends would cram a few sacks of local apples out of our car, then heads much fruit, sweet with a tart, eating together is a very sandy texture.
Can not think of years later, Quyang has become a trading hub transport underground cultural relics, that Buddha statues stolen from the car out of our ears after the camp, they were eventually finding arrived there, waiting to sell time. Because of repeated handling and adverse storage conditions, Stone Buddhas have already crumbled into a few bright future.
This is the fate of the troubled Northern Wei Dynasty Stone Buddha statue was later heard that was shipped back to Beijing, and has been well-skilled repair specialists, are temporarily stored in a completely place. It was suggested that the North put it outside the zoo, river shore, Wu Tasi go, where museums have been built stone Beijing, as cars ear camps, we can do an imitation on the original place. Ear can be car business do not agree with the villagers, who insists on Buddha invited back, because this stone Buddha has been spent in their village, hundreds of years, they live in the Stone Buddhas front of a child generation children another generation of people. They say that only a day guarding the Buddha statues in order to live a heart tread.
In the end how to do, if up to now not yet a conclusion.
