Stone carving, brick carving, wood carving and other handicrafts in the temple are more exquisite because of the exquisite selection of materials and modern technology. The square column foundation and pictographic column foundation of stone carving, the Erlong play beads on the coupon arch carved with white marble, the grass dragon on the round window, the lion head and porcelain head carved with drum stones and bricks in front of the door, and the large-scale Erlong play beads carved between the two columns of the gate and the main hall all make people linger.
The Tibetan Scripture Institute is located behind the Seven Buddha Hall of Yue Yun Temple, and the Seven Buddha Pagodas are located in the Tibetan Scripture Institute, also known as the Pagodas Institute. It's just the Beijinglou. The hospital mainly collects various Buddhist classics.
The Seven Pagodas are located in the Tibetan Classics Institute, with seven floors and six sides and a height of 22 meters. Perfect white marble, the tower gate is on the north side of the first floor. Carve a niche on each floor in the south, and carve seven buddha from bottom to top, corresponding to the Seven Buddha Mountains and the Seven Buddha Halls respectively. The other five sides of each floor are carved with arch coupons to separate fake windows, and the top floor has windows on the other four sides except the north fake window for visitors to climb the tower for viewing. Each floor is carved with a tile-mouth dripping stone eaves, which is pavilion-shaped. Hexagonal pyramid roof decorated with balls. Each floor of the tower has reinforced concrete floors and wooden ladders. Visitors enter from the ground floor and get on the escalator, which can go straight to the nine-story building.
The white marble used in the Seven Towers comes from Baoding, Hebei. It was built by Baoding White Jade Factory, with about 5,000 pieces of materials, 150 cubic meters, and the total cost was nearly 3 million yuan, of which the single freight cost was as high as more than 200,000 yuan. This stupa is modeled after the white marble pagoda newly built in Wutai Mountain. It has exquisite materials, exquisite carving, compact assembly and exquisite construction. Each floor is made of reinforced concrete and white marble, which makes the tower stronger. It is really original. This kind of white marble pagoda is unique in Taihang Mountain, followed by Shanxi and rare in China. Standing in front of the tower, looking inside and looking outside, it is white and flawless, giving people a unique feeling, such as a bodhi mirror, spotless. Climbing to the top of the tower, looking up and looking down, you can enjoy the scenery of Taihang Mountain as far as you can, giving people a refreshing feeling.
According to legend, after the completion of Yue Yun Temple in Qifoshan, seven buddha proposed to invite three immortals, namely, Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism, to dinner. After the banquet, seven buddha took the immortal to the gate to enjoy the scenery in seven buddha. Immortals either walk or watch, or point, or say, or laugh, or think. Seeing the corpse of the oldest Buddha (according to legend, he was the first Buddha in seven buddha in the past, and the Buddhist book said that he became a Buddha before the September 18th robbery, which was about 65.438+0.28 billion years ago, and it was calculated that he was born 65.438+065.438+064.8 billion years ago), he became interested, went south, gently touched a ridge, and suddenly the ridge changed. Confucius smiled when he saw this scene, holding a long beard in his hand, opening his mouth to the blue sky and spitting out golden flowers all over the sky. These golden flowers fluttered in succession, instantly turning into glittering words and symbols scattered all over the mountain. Confucius said it would enlighten Foshan civilization. At this time, all the immortals' eyes turned to Laojun, the founder of Taoism. The old gentleman pretended as if nothing had happened, closed his eyes slightly, and saw his right hand blowing dust, sweeping into the air and spitting fairy dust. Suddenly, auspicious clouds filled the air, and immortals came forth in large numbers. He also saw the old man patting the green cow around him, tearing off a hair of the cow, blowing it with his mouth, and suddenly becoming a big golden bull. The old man said to protect Foshan at night. Later, this golden bull was stolen by a cult and turned into a boulder on the northern mountain. This is a huge lying cow stone with hoofprint.
The immortals swam from south to east and from west to north. When I stood on the north mountain facing east and watched the scenery of a hill named Xiaoxitian (also known as Xiaoqi Foshan) at the east foot, I saw two young monks walking on a rugged path with a bucket of water, sweating and panting. When seven buddha saw this, he turned his attention to the Guanyin Bodhisattva beside him. Guanyin Bodhisattva understood the meaning of the Buddha and bowed to the Buddha. Then she picked two willow leaves from the willow branches in the vase and threw one leaf to the north and south of Qifoshan. Since then, there have been many springs in Qifoshan, flowing all the year round. Two willow leaves fell to the ground, forming the later Nanquan and Beichi. Zhuangzi, a Taoist, did not show weakness when he saw Guanyin Bodhisattva. He quietly came to a big stone, kissed it to the south, and then lay on it dreaming. The immortals were amazed to see thousands of butterflies flying around Zhuangzi. The immortals were in high spirits and danced with butterflies. Since then, every summer, butterflies in Qifoshan have swarmed into a scene. Formed the later butterfly festival.
The mountains are full of fairyland, and the temples are full of legends. Sit and peek at the scenery and shoot clouds. Mountains, temples, buddhas, immortals, mountains are named after temples, cities are wide because of temples, and temples flourish because of cities. With seven buddha's aura, old friends will be full of vitality.
