"Jiuhua 1000 Temple, scattered in the cloud." The four major Buddhist mountains in China, nine Mountain with its beautiful scenery and the center stage, he replaced the "incense under heaven" and "Southeast First Mountain" and the legendary double crown, is the believers their places of worship. 9 Mountain, formerly known as nine sub-Hill, Shixian show, such as Li Bai Zan its Jiufeng Lotus, the "Soul Mountain open Jiuhua" is recited, so the name "Jiuhua." She and five, Emei, Putuo collectively known as the four famous mountains of Chinese Buddhism, the "Lotus Buddha country" in the world.
As the innate good exercise, especially for mountaineering soft spot. So October 5th I boarded the way to Jiuhua car, 10 points, nine of our coach arrived at the foot of Huashan, car ride up the mountain, we saw cars there is very little young tourists, mostly middle-aged women and the elderly, their three group five together a group of lively conversation with, Ting Kouyin Anhui are within its territory, my mind wonders out loud : so old people can do to climb mountains? but also for them secretly pinch a-han, minds and spirits are not admired by the Health and affection. "hey, girl, help me see that ticket as there is no standard Date ah? I bought the 7 return tickets it! "My thoughts have been a 40-year-old woman interrupted to tell her I took the ticket date is on end cap, after the original conversation I discovered that they all go into the mountains worship, and look! around them all that much of the burden of pre-Buddhist bought it! At this point, they are the Buddha's piety makes me extremely mixed feelings.
Car up the mountain road along the spiral rose to jiuhuajie, this village is actually a small town Huashan Scenic Area of the nine-reception centers. Tourism management agencies, travel agencies, bus stations and major hotels are located here. Jiuhuajie surrounded by layers of terraces and the mountain of tea. Streets and buildings to maintain the unity of the powder wall Huangwa style, monks live together the morning, knocking and bell, and one group "Lotus Buddha country" scene.
Settled baggage, our journey started from the Jizo. Jiuhuashan a long history of Buddhism, introduced when the Jin Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty prospered. Tang Kaiyuan, the new Luo (now North Korea) monk Jin Qiaojue Jiuhuashan crossing to practice Buddhism, saying that the reincarnation of Buddha to Tibet, he passed away, the legend Shan Yun-Ming Gu, Qunniaoaiti, ground out the fire, its corpse more 3 years with lifelike, monks subsequently it as Jizo statue, built tower to enshrine the flesh. Jiuhuashan became Buddhist Jizo Buddhist worship. We follow the stone steps on one level, there is an even one of the Buddhist nunnery, the temple, small and exquisite, or antique, or Hall of the word brilliant. Wherever it is an endless stream of pilgrims, cigarettes Incense smoke straight to the sky.
Perhaps God was moved by sincere people, involuntary tears, in this touching scene, we are also unusual excitement, insisted on umbrellas scattered from the step, and we followed the stone steps while going downhill, while the mountains, after a nectar Temple, by the hundred palace, bypassing the East Ya Temple, excitedly came back to Xiang Pavilion, God has also been pilgrims discard the door was moved to a confused, Hua Lala's next up and heavy rain. we stood in the temple under the eaves, The monks at the temple to see the practice of hand-pounding the wooden fish, mouth mutter prayers. A lot a lot a lot of people holding a Buddhist prayer of worship, the heavy rain into the incense burner, the travel and rain. They seem to have a little bit afraid of himself by this cold rain Linde cold, but worried about just half of the incense burn will be extinguished.
As our young people, was sloppy, "Buddha's heart to stay," so we buy less Buddhist ﹑ burning incense, Buddha and other procedures, must have the speed of the mountains soon. Originally planned to climb the next day roof peak, and now, at 3 pm, the wound on the bar!
Along the way, only Yuer with us to Phoenix old pines. "Phoenix Furumatsu" trunk a little flat, third year is divided into three branches meters, in the middle branches curved upward, such as the Phoenix eagerly; Yi Gu slightly curved, under gentle stretching, it seems Pteris hem; Yiguxieshen slight upward tweak divided into two wings, it seems Cai-feng wings. According to legend, this song Read the World 1400 I set out for the Northern and Southern Dynasties period, the plant Pui Shen Seng. When the rising sun, the early morning mist to open, or the setting sun falling west, sunset golden hours, the more developed the Phoenix Song Cui dripping, and vibrant, winning many ancient and modern poets, painters of poems and the frame! No wonder contemporary famous painter Li Keran, it would be described as "best in the world song."
Perhaps to a magic wonderland, unconsciously the rain has stopped. We worship through the station along the upward arc of the next stage has completed 10 Feng mountain peaks along the leading side to move back under the Dragon, overturned tai feng forward.
Roof peak, also known as the roof is the top. 1306 meters above sea level in nine of the 99 peaks among Huashan just below the 10 Feng, Seven Sages peak. Its peak with the monastery, and holding a Japanese pavilion, along the temple more beautiful natural surroundings, visitors and pilgrims have respect for it as Jiuhua the first place. "No, on the roof did not mean to", any person on the jiuhuajie always want to climb the roof peak, in order to repay culmination, head of the desire to make thousands of miles.
To accomplish our wish boarded the peak, we have a walk take a rest, and snacked on a walk around the stone steps leading to the sky just like butter, kept up all the long walk to take, could not finish, slow days black down, and occasionally the rainy, as if afraid that we are boring, but also to us such as fuel, is becoming increasingly steep stone steps, and legs a bit sour, and have never stopped trembling struggle, gripped with horror of not read on. But when she sees the back of the elderly carrying a big package (which is a Buddhist), are trying to stagger the stride could not help but work harder, throw them far behind.
There is one final step, wow! I finally come up. Fat Jong Temple is located in the peak of the ground, the ancient name of temple roof. For most of this Jiuhua Buddhist pilgrimage, called the "transit world." Here is also a tourist tour Jiuhua must dos. We are leaning on the railing on the roof, resting, looking out, all around great momentum ﹑ transformation is a breathtaking view if the will of praise for our dedication. Clouds to drive over, dancing as if in welcome our guests from afar!
Was only a quarter of an hour of effort, a sudden jump from a mountain out of a huge air, our beautiful shadowless Yuner drive forever. The entire roof had been dark clouds hanging over 2 meters simply see a person. We are afraid of a few hurried pictures and decided to come down right away, even though there are many people to the rooftop temple beside the matter with no front knees to worship the Buddha. An atmosphere of air filled floor, the wind has not gotten a firm foothold, the rain on the next again, and it can be said that heavy rain, shoes, pants, jackets, backpacks did not like the wet, slippery rain, combined with stone steps narrow, we can only cautiously down the number of step by step, and sometimes could not believe myself: This is the uphill climb of the route to take? how steep it for so long ah? The answer of course is yes, of course, admire ourselves The! The way up we met a lot of people, days, Black big, they are still advancing towards the sacred in their minds, I think they must be able to live to 100 years old. Apparitions of the Buddha will!
Rain stopped, and dawn, a little bit, take advantage of this last light, we have accelerated the pace at 6 o'clock, we are down to the foot of the mountains, just to catch up with one down the side. My car along the excellent concrete road circling steadily downhill. Highway outside the mountains, the bleak second second go. I hand rubbed the glass window seems to not want to say goodbye to her too soon, but the mountains are dark. Good-bye, Jiuhua, though a bit helpless.
