Laifeng Temple has elegant architecture, exquisite and quiet gardens, the Buddha statue in Daxiong Hall is merciful and solemn, and the Jade Buddha Hall has white jade reclining Buddha and eighteen arhats presented by overseas Chinese in Myanmar, which has Southern Buddhism characteristics. There is a Sakyamuni Buddha Hall on the left front side of the Ursa Major Hall, dedicated to a sitting statue of white jade Buddha, and there are four simulated tall buildings on the left back side that can climb over the ancient city, which can be seen at a glance.
Laifeng Temple has been repaired for generations. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, Tengchong was occupied by the Japanese army, Laifeng Temple was destroyed by fire and rebuilt after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War. Later, in order to meet the growing cultural needs of the people, it was decided to turn this place into Laifeng Park and allocate funds for reconstruction and expansion. Passing through the alley in the south of Tengchong, stepping into the foothills of Fengshan, and slowly climbing the stone steps, I saw the pines and cypresses standing upright on both sides, covered with shade, and a cool breeze blowing against my face. On the left side of the road, there is a colorful pavilion on the grass, which goes back to the "Song Tingting" and hangs one: Wan Li with wings hanging down; Chang Song exits 3000 feet. After reading it, a wave of lofty sentiments arises spontaneously. Walking up the winding path, you can see the white walls and yellow tiles under the shade, and the cornices are upturned. This is Laifeng Temple.
On the stone ridge of the platform in front of the temple, with Tengchong's unique white marble as the base, Deng Zilong's book "Sword Sweeping the Wind and Smoke" was newly engraved, with a square character of about 1 meter, which was bold and heroic. As soon as I entered the temple gate, I saw the stone carvings inscribed by celebrities inside and outside the province embedded in the wall. Most of them were moved from the "Fengyiyuan Stone Carvings" made by Li Genyuan during the Republic of China, but they were not complete. The main hall in the temple is spacious and magnificent. There are two pearl dragons on the roof and two phoenix wings on the wall of the hall. This is a historical museum, centering on historical figures who have made outstanding contributions to Tengyue's development for more than a thousand years, including Du Guangting Zi, Mu Shi, Wang Ji, Chen Yongbin, Deng Zilong, Yang Zhenhong, Zhang Wenguang and other important events in history, and sketching the outline of Tengchong's historical development with portraits, rubbings and historical records. Correspondingly, a cultural relics museum is set up behind the history museum to display all kinds of precious cultural relics in Tengchong, and to show the historical origin of Tengchong from another side. On the south side of the History Museum, there is a small pool in the central courtyard, which is very impressive. There is a hexagonal pavilion in Chi Pan, in which a sculpture with the theme of Tengchong's beautiful folk stories will be built. The rockery in Chi Pan is made of red volcanic rocks peculiar to Tengchong. It crossed the small bridge on the pond, got into the cave of the mountain, climbed up and reached the pavilion on the top of the mountain. The clear spring on the "mountain" flies down and makes a sound, which has the taste of "the ancient music of high mountains and flowing water". Outside the garden on the right side of Ursa Major Hall, there is the Baiyu Ancestral Temple, which was built in the first year of Qing Daoguang (A.D. 182 1) and rebuilt in the seventh year of Guangxu after the war of Xian Tong. It is a place for colleagues in the jewelry and jade industry to worship their ancestors White and get together. The real white jade is the deification of Tengyue jewelry and jade industry to Bian He, a jade genius of Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period. According to legend, Bian He got a piece of jade pu and gave it to the king of Chu twice. Both of them were considered ordinary stones, and both of them had their feet cut off for cheating the king. King Chu acceded to the throne, and Bian He cried at the foot of Jingshan Mountain. The king of Chu ordered the Pu to be cut open. It turned out to be a beautiful jade, which was later called a rare treasure. Tengyue Baoyu respects Bian He as the real person and founder of White, which shows that Chinese jade culture has a long history.
The temple names of Laifeng Mountain Gate and Jade Buddha Hall were inscribed by Zhao Puchu, the late former vice chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the chairman of the Chinese Buddhist Association and a famous calligrapher, which is rare in China. The world says that "Yunnan Camellia is the best in the world", but many people don't know that Tengchong is the hometown of Yunnan Camellia and Tengchong Camellia is the best in Yunnan. More than 100 precious varieties and more than 2500 kinds of camellia have been planted in the tea garden on Laifeng Mountain. At the turn of winter and spring, camellias are in full bloom and colorful. There is Fengling Pagoda at the top of the mountain, which was built in the seventh year of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty (AD 1827) and was destroyed in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period. There are also relics of Japanese fortifications around Taki, which is a county-level key cultural relics protection unit. Opposite the tower is the central axis of the Confucian Temple. The tower is like a pen, and the pool is like an inkstone. With the pen and ink stone, talented people come forth in large numbers. Therefore, people call Fengling Pagoda Pen Pagoda. Wenbi Pagoda has also become a symbol of Tengchong people's longing for moire prosperity. When the Chinese Expeditionary Force besieged Tengchong City, Laifengshan was the most important peripheral defensive position of the Japanese army. Here, the county and the city are horns with each other, and the coming to Fengshan is not guaranteed. The Japanese army can only retreat to the city to die, so the battle to Fengshan is very tragic. The Chinese Expeditionary Force, with the strength of two divisions and the cooperation of allied air forces, took three days to seize the Japanese position and complete the encirclement of the county seat after fierce fighting. In the 1990s, with the efforts of people from all walks of life in Tengchong, a new tower with more spectacular shape and complete functions was rebuilt on the ruins of the old tower, which became a good place for sightseeing and leisure on Laifeng Mountain.
Fengling new tower is a new tower in traditional style, with smooth lines and pure colors. It is like a jade pen inserted high at the top of Laifeng Mountain, always emitting the light of culture. This beautiful and solemn pagoda, 44.93 meters high, *** 13 floors, has a floor structure inside. Visitors can walk up the stairs to the top of the tower and have a panoramic view of the "first city on the polar edge" and the magnificent mountains and rivers around it. In the south of Tengchong, there is a mountain called Laifeng Mountain. On the north side of the mountain is the outlet of Daying River, and the waterfall flies down and growls like thunder. In front of the mountain is the ancient Yunnan-Myanmar road, which is used for business travel all the year round. Gudaoshan Road, traveling all year round. The pine trees on the mountain are lush. Whenever it is cool in the spring and autumn, the mountains and plains are covered with haze, and the Qingfeng Mountain is surrounded by it, which is particularly charming. "Phoenix, sunny orchid" has always been one of the scenic spots in Tengchong. Coming to Fengshan is also the commanding height next to the county seat. Looking around, the scenery is wide: there are mountains such as Daying, Baofeng and Gulei Peak on the left, and there are also mountains on the right.
Steep mountains, Luo Sheng; In the distance, Gaoligong Mountain, the peak of the pen is snowy and the silver light is dazzling; The fields in front are criss-crossed, and villages are dotted; Looking down on the Tengchong city wall, there are rows of new houses and cars coming and going, which makes people feel very comfortable. There is a poem by predecessors: "Clouds disappear and the scenery opens, and the sky is clear one day." "The flowing water has disappeared like a dragon, and the distant mountains are like phoenixes." (Li Zongsi's Laifeng Temple), it's really amazing. Laifeng foothills, the original Feng Academy. During the Republic of China, Tengchong Library was built in it. Now it is Tengchong No.1 Middle School. The school building faces the city by the mountain, and the environment is quiet. On the wall of the campus, there is another group of stone carvings made by neighboring Li Genyuan. This is Mo Bao, an ancient and modern celebrity hidden by Tengchong stone lovers. He chose the best one to rub the stone. Among them, Tengchong has 47 pieces of Mo Bao by Hu Xuan, Wu Zongyao and others. Qian Nanyuan, Liu, Fang Yurun and other famous Yunnan scholars Mo Bao 24 pieces; Deng Zilong, Wu Changshuo and others who have been to Tengchong.
52 pieces of ink; Shi Kefa, Zhang and others have never been to Tengchong's 50 ink paintings. *** 172 and 174 stones are basically intact. "Butterfly Garden" is named because it is located on the banks of Dieshui River. Although the production time of Butterfly Garden Collection Carving is not long, it is fine in quality, excellent in carving and diverse in calligraphy, which is worth collecting. What is even more peculiar is that there are sometimes "mountain groans" in the areas of cucumber green, bathhouse river and sulfur pond. Every August and September, there are frequent microseisms here, which are closely related to volcanic activity. According to the research, the underground thermal storage in this area is shallow, and the temperature of hot springs increases with the increase of surface depth. For example, Huangguqing Hot Spring has a surface of 94 degrees Celsius and a depth of 4 meters, 104 degrees Celsius. The temperature of its groundwater thermal circulation system may exceed 30 degrees Celsius.
There is also a beautiful myth and legend in Rehai: in ancient times, it was freezing in this area and the people were miserable. There is a kind old man who has gone through difficulties and obstacles, looking for a way out, determined to turn this place into a warm and rich place, and the people live a happy life. He is willing to die. Later, his sincerity touched the immortal, who gave him a treasure bead and put it in his mouth. He was so hot that he drank several rivers in one breath and finally became a little dragon spitting hot water. Wherever he stopped, there were countless hot springs. Since then, it has been warm all year round, with fat cattle and sheep and abundant grains. However, legends are just legends after all. Geologically, Tengchong is located in the Himalayan tectonic belt that attracts worldwide attention, at the junction of the Indian plate and the Eurasian plate.
