At the waist of Yuelu Mountain, there is the ancient Lushan Temple, which is known as "the first scene in Han and Wei Dynasties and the first scene in Hunan", followed by Baihequan, which is known as "the first fragrance of Lushan Mountain". Ancient temples are famous springs, each with its own interests.

Lushan temple

Lushan Temple, formerly known as Huiguangming Temple, was founded by Zen master Zhu Fachong in the fourth year of the Western Jin Dynasty (268). The temple site was originally named Guluyuan.

There are many eminent monks in Lushan Temple. The most authors are Tiantai Zhitou Zen Master, Tan Jie Master, Qian Zhi Master, Mahayana Zen Master, Newly Hired Master, Wisdom Master, Tiger Cen Zen Master, Zhihai Zen Master, Hanshan Zen Master, Cao Dongzong Tan Zhi Zen Master and Li Yun Zen Master. Master Zhitou Zen came to this temple to give lectures nine years ago and founded Tiantai Sect. Since then, Buddhism in Lushan Mountain has become more prosperous. During Du Fu's wandering in Changsha, he described the grand occasion of people visiting Lushan Mountain in spring and making pilgrimage to the mountain in the poem Qingming: "On the birthday of glory, ten thousand people went out of Changsha. After crossing the water, my eyebrows are bright and my feet are gnawing at my knees. This is a good place to visit Xiangxi Temple (namely Lushan Temple and Daolin Temple), and the generals will also come from the army. " The Buddhist thoughts of some eminent monks in Lushan Temple are not only well-known in China, but also widely circulated abroad. For example, at the invitation of Xiaomei, a Japanese monk, the Zen master led his disciples Mufuyu and Daofan to the east to cross the mulberry, which promoted the cultural exchange between China and Japan. He is the author of a far-reaching Japanese travel poem "Journey to the East". His Eight Fingers Zen Master was the first president of 19 12 Chinese Buddhist Association.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Wanshou Zen Forest. After destruction. During the Kangxi period, it was overhauled twice, and it was still called Manjuji. In the early years of the Republic of China, the ancient Lushan Temple was renamed. Temple flag is an enlarged picture of the rubbings of Lushan Temple, which is divided into two halls. The temple gate is called "the first scene in Han and Wei Dynasties and the first scene in Hunan". The front hall was bombed 1944, and the Guanyin Pavilion (the Sutra Pavilion) in the back hall was well preserved, with a hard cornice stone arch: "Zhaoxiang Sea; A hundred days of moonlight. " 1955 decoration. This is the relic of Zen master Zhu Fachong. After the pavilion, the former Fahuatai was used by Zhu Fachong to annotate Hokkekyo. On one side of the rock, there is a Buddhist Zen saying "turn back to the shore", which is still recognizable today. On the left of the pavilion is the former site of Huling Hall, and the Zhaitang on the right is now changed to Baihequan Tea Room.

There is an ancient Chinese pine tree in front of the pavilion, and two plants live together. When tourists pass by, they enter the pass, so they are called "Guansong". Now on the left is Ardisia macrophylla, DBH 78cm. It is called "Six Dynasties Pine" and is a relic of the Six Dynasties. It is over 1700 years old, and it can be called the elder of the plant community in Yuelu Mountain. The original tree on the right was uprooted by a strong wind during the Qianlong period, and the current Podocarpus microphylla was replanted by the Ming Dynasty. Zhang Qing 91 once wrote a poem for this purpose: "Turn the wind and rain, sow the roots of clouds, and stand alone in a hundred feet of forest." * * * said that the Six Dynasties left historical sites, which is no longer a double set of monks' doors. Tiger Centang protects the campus shadow, and Crane Jingquan flows with bone marks. Sitting on a stone and looking for one, who is talking about gray robbery? "

According to local legend, there were no pine trees here before. Monks in the temple chant Buddhist scriptures day after day, managing Shan Ye. One day a strange thing happened suddenly: when monks walked into the dining hall at night, some people didn't know who had eaten all the food. The next night was the same. Later, it was discovered that the eighteen arhats who stood in the hatchback of the main hall jumped off the throne to eat. Ambush monks rushed in and caught the two arhats who were left behind. Lohan suddenly became a clay sculpture and wood carving. The elder thought that the demon had borrowed the golden body of Lohan and asked the monk to carry the woodcarving out and burn it. At this time, a white silk floated down from the top of the Buddhist temple and wrote, "It's not a demon. It's really hard to live in the Heavenly Palace. The jade cave altar is long and cold, and I would like to go to the red dust. " Seeing this short sight, the elders asked people to carry two arhats outside the temple and guard the mountain gate, so as to fulfill their desire for fireworks. Somehow, Lohan was covered with branches and leaves and became two Lohan pines.

Famous springs in ancient temples are often accompanied. There is a pool named Longjing under Guanyin Pavilion Bridge, and there is a "Yuquan" wall next to it. The spring water gushes from Longkou, which does not dry up all the year round, and Ming Che is cool. There is also the famous Baihequan under the rock on the right. The spring water gurgled from the ancient trees around the back of the temple, and it did not dry up in winter and summer, which was extremely sweet.

Baihequan

The name "Baihequan" is related to some legends. Song Zhao wrote a poem chanting: "The spiritual pulse is passive, because birds wash Yuquan;" Since it is extraordinary, who knows the immortal in the cave? "

The story of "Birds Wash Yuquan" has been circulating in Lushan for a long time. According to legend, in ancient times, a pair of white cranes flew here. When they saw the spring water was unusually sweet and clear, they fell in love with it and refused to fly away. From then on, a pair of crane shadows appeared in spring, and the spring water became clearer and sweeter. When you hold the spring water in your hand, you will see a pair of crane shadows in your hand. When making tea with spring water, the steam is filled and it dances like a crane. Therefore, people call it White Crane Boxing. So, why is the white crane gone now? Legend has it that when the violent Changsha king learned about this, he let his followers cross the river day and night for their enjoyment. One day, when the boat reached the river, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the pitcher was overturned, and there was not a drop of water. The attendants used their quick wits and went back to the palace to find clean water to work. King Changsha didn't see the white crane flying when he was making tea. He was very angry and killed him, saying that he cheated you. Hearing this, the crane flew angrily. Since then, there has been no crane shadow in spring, but the name of "Baihequan" has been passed down to this day. It is also said that Baihequan was originally a well dug by a quarryman named Wang Xiaoer to quench his thirst. The well water becomes clear and sweet because of the night of the crane. When the magistrate heard that he wanted to be promoted to a higher position, he asked Wang Xiaoer to choose this well to pay tribute to the emperor. The emperor drank it and was very happy. He asked Xiao Er to deliver water by bus on schedule, and was beheaded by mistake. On a rainy winter day, the road was slippery and tired, and the car overturned and splashed with water. Wang Xiaoer had to prevaricate with water from a nearby well. The emperor was furious after drinking. Wang Xiaoer replied that the crane flew away because of the cold weather. The emperor sent his ministers to inspect, but there were no cranes in the well and the water was not sweet. It turns out that the white crane was given by the Jade Emperor. In order to rescue Wang Xiaoer, it flew back to the sky before the priest came. People still call this well "Baihequan" because it is very good.

According to records, the spring eye has been renovated throughout the ages. In the third year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty, Xia Xianyun built a pavilion on it, and the book Baihequan Monument was compiled by Han Yang, editor of the Hanlin Academy. Inscriptions, inscriptions, poems. Postscript: "Yuelu Record": Baihequan leaves Qingfeng Gorge, which is full of sweetness in winter and summer. Confucian scholars (Yi) in the Song Dynasty wrote poems such as Pondering over Baihequan and Resting in the Breeze Gorge, and sang with Zhu (Yi) in the south of the city, and wrote poems such as Lan Jian and Time to Come. Xianyun built a platform on it. He likes to record the poems of two masters and carve them on stones, not only to prepare famous mountains and beautiful things, but also to make tourists admire Xianyun. "Zhang Shi's poem Zhubaihe Spring is quite interesting:

The origin of the ancient poem "Famous Springs in the Ancient Temple": Talking about the sky all day, begging for clear springs to wake up the roots of the tongue, asking for stones in a full voice, and shaking Yao Kun in a crane shadow. Who knows that the taste in the lamp will swallow three mouthfuls, and the beauty will have one bottle. There is an inexhaustible source, and the source can be tested. After the pavilion, the monument was abandoned. The pavilion was built in 1956. A pair of cranes are painted on the algae well in the pavilion. When you look down at the spring well, you can see the white crane dancing with the wave shadow. There is a teahouse on the mountain for the cloud tea at the foot of the spring, which is delicious and interesting.

Yunluguan

Like many other famous mountains, Yuelu Mountain has both Buddhist bells and Taoist incense. Yunlu Palace is the twenty caves of Taoism. Yunlu Palace is located at the top of Yunlu Mountain, the second highest peak in Lushan Mountain. In the 13th year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1477), it was put forward by Ji Jian in Changsha, but it was soon abandoned. During the Jiajing period, Sun Fu, the satrap, ordered Taoist Li to preside over the restoration and planted thousands of pine and cypress trees, Tung Zi trees and Ruoxiao trees. In Qin Long, Taoist Jin Shoufen came here to travel and loved the beauty here, so he was forbidden to practice. Later, Zhang Yang, who was later transferred to the temple, made a special visit. Jin Daochang's profound knowledge left a deep impression on him and he became a close friend. Jin Daochang became famous, so he raised money to expand the land, built more halls and changed his name to Yunlu Palace. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, there were repairs, Xianfeng was destroyed in two years, and Tongzhi was repaired in two years. In the old society, Xiangge was expected to be on the right side of the palace. There are portraits and couplets of Lv Chunyang in the pavilion. One is Ma Shu's usual question: "The ancient temple rises from the sky, and the color is evenly divided, surrounding Xiang Liu; Famous mountains leave scenic spots, Shaoling writes sentences, and Beihai writes inscriptions "; First, the poet Huang Daorang wrote: "Clouds come from the southwest, and the river rings down the Dongting Lake day and night", which is written in this extremely far place overlooking the magnificent scenery of Xiangjiang River and Changsha Wanjia. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Yi, a Linxiang scholar, once wrote when he was giving a lecture at Hunan Normal University that "those who reach the top of the cloud are enough, and those who seek peace of mind are palaces", and skillfully embedded the word "Taoist temple at the foot of the cloud", which was once a much-told story.
