(A) the origin of Mount Emei
? Mount Emei, located in Sichuan, is the general name of Da 'e Mountain, Er 'e Mountain and San 'e Mountain. There is another story about the origin of Mount Emei:
Once upon a time, there was a Xipo Temple outside the west gate of Emei County. One year, an old painter with white hair came. The painter has a good friendship with a monk in the temple. One day, it was sunny and the green willows hung low. The painter invited monks to visit Wuyou Temple in Leshan. The monk declined with a smile and said, "It's dozens of miles away from Leshan, and it takes a day to go back and forth, which is very inconvenient." When the painter saw the monk not going, he went alone. He will be back in less than half a day. I also brought back some paintings of Wuyou Temple to the monks. Monks love calligraphy and painting since childhood and are very happy. At the same time, I also wonder why the painter came back from the worry-free temple in less than half a day. The mysterious monk has been unable to guess. A few days later, the painter came to say goodbye to the monk and paid for the room and board. The monk insisted on not accepting it. When the painter saw that the monk didn't want to collect money, he suddenly remembered that the monk liked painting, so he took out a paper inkstone and said to the monk, "If you don't collect money, I'll draw you some." The monk was filled with joy. In a short time, the painter finished painting four pictures. Every picture depicts a beautiful girl. The first picture shows a girl in a green dress with white gauze wrapped around her head. The second picture is a girl wearing a red dress and green gauze on her head. The third picture shows a girl in a blue dress with yellow gauze wrapped around her head. The fourth picture shows a girl wearing yellow clothes and red gauze on her head.
In ancient times, the beautiful girl was called Emei, so the painter named four paintings "Four Women in Emei". The painter handed the painting to the monk and said, "You put it in the box and hang it after 7749 days." After the painter left, the monk thought, it's a pity to put such a good painting in the box. Why not hang it up for everyone to enjoy? So I hung these four paintings in the living room. One day, the monk came back from outside. Suddenly I saw m-girls sitting in the living room, talking and laughing. The monk looked at these girls very familiar and felt very strange. I didn't see these girls when I went out just now! He asked, "Are you girls here to visit the temple or to worship the Buddha?" The four girls didn't answer, just giggled and ran out. At this time, the monk suddenly found that all the beautiful girls in the four paintings on the wall were gone. M-girls, who originally ran out, was painted! So, the monk chased after him. The third sister ran fast and ran to the front, while the fourth sister ran slowly and fell behind. The sisters turned around and saw Huei-fang still behind, so they stopped to wait for her. At this time, the monk had caught up with his sister and grabbed her skirt to drag her back. Seeing that she couldn't leave, Fourth Sister shouted, "Big Sister, Second Sister, Third Sister, come and save me!" When the third sister saw that the fourth sister was carried back by the monk, she angrily scolded, "This monk is really shameless!" Huei-fang was so far away that she only heard the words "don't be shy", thinking that her sisters were scolding her. She blushed and immediately turned into a mountain peak. The monk suddenly disappeared from the girl, but a mountain appeared in front of him. He thought, I was watching you when you became a mountain, but I couldn't let you go anyway. The three sisters saw that Huei-fang had turned into a mountain, and three mountains were waiting for her. Later, the monk died beside the mountain and became a porcelain arhat, still guarding the mountain. People built a temple there, called "Porcelain Buddhist Temple". The four sisters became four peaks, each more beautiful than the other. Later, people changed the word "E" in Emei into the word "E" beside the mountain. My sister's name is Da 'eshan, my second sister is Er 'eshan, my third sister is San 'eshan and my fourth sister is Si 'eshan. Today, Da 'eshan, Er 'eshan and San 'eshan still stand side by side, only four Eshan are separated by a certain distance.
(2) White snake practices Bailong Cave
On the mountain road from Yin Qing Pavilion in Emei Mountain to Wannian Temple, there is a temple called "Bailong Cave". According to legend, this is the bridal chamber where the snake fairy and white snake practice. A long time ago, there was a white snake who practiced in Bailong Cave in Emei Mountain for a long time and had some magical powers. He swam to the sky, ate the flat peaches in the flat peach garden of the Queen Mother, returned to Emei Mountain to continue his practice, and eventually became a snake fairy. Green snake is practicing in Black Dragon Beach. The green snake is a male. If you want to match the white snake, the white snake is competitive. You can only win if you put forward a competition. Green snake also swears to heaven that if defeated, she will become a woman and serve her whole life. The two men immediately launched a fierce battle in the Baoxian River in front of the Yin Qing Pavilion. I saw the stream soaring, chasing the waves and covering the sky. After all, the white snake stole the flat peach of the Queen Mother, and the skill on the road was better than that of the green snake. The green snake failed and fell. Suddenly, a flash of lightning shot from Dong Lei, followed by a loud noise. The Green Snake became a nun in Tsing Yi and was called Qing Er. The white snake turned into a fairy dressed in white, called Mrs. White Snake. People call the place where the white snake and the green snake fight each other "Doulongba", and the black and white legend is the embodiment of the white snake and the green snake.
Later, the snake fairy white snake was very attached to the beautiful scenery on earth. When she heard that "there is heaven above and Suzhou and Hangzhou below", she went on a trip with Qing Er. In Hangzhou West Lake, I met Xu Xian who came to Emei Mountain to collect herbs. She changed her mind and got married, which became a much-told story.
(3) Shenshui leads to Chu.
There is a pool in front of the Shui Sheng Pavilion in Emei Mountain, and a clear spring flows out from a crack in the stone. This clear spring is said to be the jade pool and jade liquid specially drawn from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea when Emperor Xuanyuan asked about Mount Emei. It is called "Yu Yezhi Chun". Spring water never dries up all year round, clear and clean, sweet and refreshing. Drinking this water for a long time can strengthen the body.
(4) The God of Wealth practices Jiulao Cavern.
Zhao Gongming, a God of Wealth, surnamed Zhao Minglang, whose word is Gongqing, is from Zhong Nanshan. According to legend, it was originally one of the best in Japan. In ancient times, there were nine days. After being shot down by Hou Yi, he fell to Mount Emei and became the king of the Nine Ghosts. Eight Ghosts practiced diseases, and Zhao Gongming became a human figure alone, hiding in Jiulao Cavern to practice Buddhism. The novel Romance of the Gods in the Ming Dynasty said: At the end of Shang Dynasty, Zhou Wang was cruel and heartless, and Zhou Wuwang attacked. Jiang Ziya, featuring, Wen Zhong, Zhou Wang, all have their own things. Touched by the heavenly soldiers and generals, many immortals also participated. There was a thrilling and fierce scuffle between people and immortals. In the battle, Master Wen was attacked by Jiang Ziya and lost his troops. I was at my wit's end when I suddenly remembered Zhao Gongming, a Taoist friend of Mount Emei, and personally came to meet Zhao Gongming to help. Zhao Gongming accompanied him, but he didn't save the situation, so he suffered. Later, Jiang Ziya made an idol and named Zhao Gongming "Golden Dragon Ruyi is the Real Dragon King". He led Zhao Bao's Buddha, the Buddha, the messenger and took charge of all the treasures in the world. Jiulao Cavern, a practice cave in Zhao Gongming, Emei Mountain, is located in Xianfeng Rock, Zhongshan District, Emei Mountain. There is a stone bed in the cave. It is said that Zhao Gongming slept while practicing. People built a temple here, called the Temple of Wealth, much like Zhao Gongming. Many people who come to Mount Emei will worship, pray or make a wish before the God of Wealth, hoping for more wealth, fortune and good luck.
(5) Poets listen to the piano.
Li Bai, the "Poet Fairy", traveled to Mount Emei during the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, lived in Baishui Temple (now Wannian Temple) for half a year, and became friends with the monk Guang Jun. Guang Jun not only has high attainments in Buddhism, but also has excellent piano skills. I often play the piano for Li Bai by the Baishuitan in the temple, and the sound is clear and beautiful. Li Bai wrote "Listen to the Shu Monk Playing the Piano" because of the sound of the piano: "The Shu Monk carried the blue silk lute box and went down to Emei Mountain in the west. When I hear the sound of Matsutani, I wave my hand at will. I heard him in the clear stream, I heard him in the cold bell. I don't think there has been any change, although the mountains have darkened and cloudy autumn has piled up the sky. " According to legend, at that time, the fairies in the sky were intoxicated by the wonderful sound of the piano. They turned into frogs and hid in the white water pool to eavesdrop. After a long time, Jing can imitate the sound of the piano, calling it "Guagua" and becoming a unique fairy frog (commonly known as the piano frog) in Emei Mountain. In summer, tourists clap their hands by the pool, and the piano frogs in the pool will make a piano-like sound.
