Xinzhou train station to the Wutai Mountain in front of the minibus. When we got on, see the women in Belgium who had been sitting in the car.
Wutai County, we get off the car to continue going forward. A primary school took us to the five counties Guest House. Only this one is extra-. Not many people here live in conditions not very good. Price is very expensive. Fortunately, we only Zhuliang Tian. Inspection Nanzenji, Juha Buddhist Temple is a trip to China's main purpose. Nanzen-ji Buddhist temple hall and the hall is China's oldest wooden structure construction. He could not wait to go to Nanzen-ji. I suggest that first went farther away from us at For Guang Temple in the afternoon near the southern Zen easier to come back a little. Convenient point. He agreed. So we take in a minibus to the Wutai Mountain, in the beans and get off the village. Conductor point to a great coach. We squeezed through the town's bustling crowd, boarded the car has a lot of people. Soon, cars will be opened. Conductor and other passengers enthusiastically asked us go. 10 A few minutes later the car to a stop. You told us to. Turning on a conductor to refer to, saying: "You find a rent it." I looked around, a wilderness, over and over crops, dark and quiet no pedestrians. Turning is a wide straight Otsuchi road, the hills stretching along the Green domesticated hen. It is hard to imagine a thousand years inside the temple.
Me and Juha enthusiastic, stepping on the yellow surface dust sloppy road, looking at both sides of the green mountains, crops. Carefree mood. Passed a village, Buddhist Temple, we jumped into the eyes of the gable. Is a brick screen wall, a letter to "Buddhist temple." Buddhist monastery stands high foothills, back east of the West, is surrounded by mountains. Only when we come to the position of sparse exemption cheerful. Temple, built against the mountain, mountain because of the name Temple. Temple District, pine and cypress green, quiet to the extreme. Great temple, there is the main hall, Manjusri Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Jia Lan Temple, 10000 charities, fragrant wind Huayu buildings, rooms and caves and so on. Quiet and solemn, scattered chic. We need to look at the main hall, administrators have taken the trouble to open the door locked.
The main hall at the last, sitting East, west, is the main building, which is the highest of the hall. Even in our country, is the largest in the Tang Dynasty of existing timber-framed buildings. Front of the hall there are two ancient pines. Hall-style hall for Dan Yan veranda roof, a broad and deep eaves. Looked magnificent, ancient grand. Also prominent location overlooking the whole temple. As the story platform and very high Zhou fence, under the cave. Cave next to rooms and a campus-wide. The courtyard there are two ferocious German shepherds in the bark. Temple itself is a closed fortress architecture. Juha serious back and forth, inside and out to watch, take pictures.
We are out of the hall. Administrator can then locked Dianmen. Dian Zhou Juha look at the environment, he left off every detail.
My next steps to the Temple and the north side of the Monju Court Palace. Door was open, a blue-eyed lady of foreign Xuefu already there. She was accompanied by another administrator. The hall is being organized Manjusri exhibition. Various forms of Monju, like to move from other temples. Juha time they entered. Administrators said the construction of the hall after the age and size of the main hall. In order to expand the hall space, the structure adopted by a special column method, is China's ancient architecture of the rare. Administrators as experts, but Juha is a very good listener. He read a lot about this temple book. In the side of the foreign girls is just able to answer a number of Buddhist knowledge, historical anecdotes and architectural terms. Juha I talk also attracted her. Approached us, asking me where the people, and told me that she studied in Hangzhou.
I looked her up and down, a set of Chinese-style casual wear cotton trousers and coat Saika, elegant and clean. The face of Western classical style, such as carved white jade, angular. Straight nose, delicate mouth, eyes pick up flying. Golden compiled two short braided hair hanging in his chest. Really odd combination. One fluent in Mandarin, Wu garrulous folder with some soft language.
Juha still working very hard from all angles, viewing pictures. 2 administrator can not wait for two "foreigners" such a detailed inspection, to one side of the rest. My girls will be together. We are talking about Chinese culture, Chinese society and Chinese people, unconsciously very speculative. Feel each other's excitement and novelty. I feel that we not only from a sense of intimacy and interest in language, as well as emotional similarities and understanding. We became the mountains and peaks of the temple in another picture.
Return trip, she tried to convince us to sit three-wheeled motorcycle she was employed. Car drivers have been filled with the familiar countryman. She and I sit down side by side doors on the list, Juha in my opposite. Drove up. Suddenly car suddenly leaps, her hands suddenly protective of me, and a look of worry. I did not fall car to see a happy smile. Then relying on my head under my shoulders. After all, a foreigner, not familiar with the Han Xi, attracted a car person staggering. She was quiet a natural, comfortable and relaxed. I smelt a special incense.
She told me that her grandfather was a traveling explorers. Have been to many places, there have been a lot of interesting experiences. I do what I know, told her that would like to know things.
In 1937, Liang, Lin Huiyin other four found a Buddhist Temple is a great value and is still well preserved wooden structures in the Tang Dynasty. They note there are inspection process: "to the five counties, we are into the Huai sets off the northbound, outside diameter trend Nantai. We rode mules up into the mountains, in the steep road, winding a walk along the edge of a cliff who lean, rugged risk ... ... close to the mountains-wan birth to a child in front of distant mountains are mountains ring retaining the form is, of course Zhuangwei. By dusk, we arrived near the village of beans really Yung Kuang Temple, paid their respects hall, Zijie surprise, we have always reported that the domestic Don must have faith in the structure of temples, once at this point to get a confirmed. "
I looked up to see her miserable Huarong has been changed. A long time, Xu said: "Poor Hsu, and returned late! I should now go back and find him, with him." He was her boyfriend. "He likes cycling, playing basketball. Do not like to work, not interested in China." "Is not handsome, and often Xixi stolen goods. I gave him the laundry, cooking, cleaning the room. To make a good wife."
"I will lose him. I must go back immediately."
I comforted her: "You talked over the phone?" "Every day I called to him. He also, such as waiting for from time to time." Does she not speak, and looked woodenly, eyes dull, the body attendant ups and downs. I continue to comfort her: "Hsu was with the Lu Xiaoman, life is still sweet. But Huiyin also another admirer, logicians Mr. Jin, for her lifelong bachelor, was living next door with her and Liang. Things have been impermanence."
She seems to turn a deaf ear, no moving speechless. Finally, slowly said: "Let me touch is your story, let me wake up is your attitude. He told me less than one-tenth of you. I began to realize that, in my mind that he has lost a key. is just routine. "
To the bean village, we get off. She said: "I must go back immediately. Out to him, and the performance of my ability. Go back and also for him, and the performance of my love. Since met with him later, I do not own, and not myself."
I went to car to come back. She pulls out a compass. "This is sent to you, is my grandfather used. I read every day, and now no need of." Having turned away, decadent sat in the car. Drivers not neglect a step on the gas, car set out.
I looked at the hands of the compass, there are buttons size, surrounded by silver lace, Although oxidation of hair, dirt and the fine is still not conceal the past. I'm throwing a pity that she ancestral discards professional to chase love. Alas! Days not only to teach him to be and do not leave them with force. Regrettably, even? Perhaps this is Chinese culture, he argued.
I do not know her name, her nationality. Only still vaguely feel that a particularly incense.
Nanzenji me and Juha's car to wait out the Wutai Mountain in the dongye down. As it was noon, it's a restaurant to eat in the street. At the same time to inquire about Nanzenji waiter.
Attendants summoned a driver. He came to agree with us, back and forth a total of 40 yuan, in the temple waiting for us near half an hour. On the jeep, Juha very happy. But he heard only half an hour to stop immediately jumped up, saying that we are not half an hour, but to see two hours. I told him that it could impose fees, etc.. He was sitting back. About twenty minutes, we went to the mound is located on the northwest lijiazhuang Nanzenji. I told the driver to wait for two hours, he felt too long. Juha insisted for more than two hours. I had the money to the driver let him go first 20. The driver asked, how do you go back and had no car. I laughed.
Gate closed. We entered the Eastern House of Sengfang. Administrators are having their meal 1. West of the small door to write "national key protected cultural relics," and some other monuments protection provisions. Opening hours are 2:30 pm start. Then time is one o'clock. The administrator was a old man, with his talk, the idea that we go. He let Juha bought a ticket, then turned and opened the door to tie the dog advanced. Then open the door Let's go. Juha straight Great Buddha Hall.
The small temple by the Great Buddha Hall, Mountain Gate, Long Dian Dian, and Buddha surrounded by a group of courtyard houses and other architecture. Great Buddha Hall is the only relic of the Tang Dynasty. Because of the time Temple is located in a remote, Tang Wuzong "Huichang destroyed Buddhism" from destruction when, survived. Main hall is very simple. This form of the original architectural style of the Tang Dynasty. So Xi'an Seiryuji not because the Japanese involved in the construction, but the Tang-styled building. Japanese classical architecture deeply influenced by the Tang.
Juha Bop to see, according to. Administrators to follow like a shadow. Were permitted to take photographs inside the Buddhist temple. We also started out in his congregation within sight. Finally, Juha around a couple of laps in the rear the Big Buddha reluctantly out. Old then locked closed. I see the table, just 1:30. Juha explained that he had embarrassed the elderly waiting. Came out, he was walking around the temple while. Temple would like to savor the atmosphere. Then go to temple next to the village.
Finally, the three o'clock he had a naturalized Italian. And to say that the home they like. We return on foot along the antecedents. There are people on both sides of the river, between the pedestrian, they do not feel lonely. But, after all, Shiji Li distance. When walking more than three years, we have a little tired. Just after a tractor with a bucket. To discuss with the driver, 10 pull us to dongye money. After the struggle, I sat for the post, Juha standing in front of the railings facing. Attracted countless eyes watching.
Early the next day we left five to Taiyuan. Yen Hsi-shan home passing the river, like where the Yan Shi old home is worth a certain concept, but do not want any further complications, had to miss the second time. Xinzhou changed cars to the bus at noon to Taiyuan.
