As soon as Grandma heard the car, she came out to call Tao Tao. When we came in, grandma filled a big bowl of stewed four-course tonic soup and told us to sit down and drink it. After driving for so long, you must be very tired and hungry. You said with distress: Don't rush to Friday night next time you come back, it's not safe to drive at night. But I know she's still glad we came back early.
After dinner, discuss with grandma and take her to Gushan tomorrow. At first, the old lady didn't want to go. She feels old. Recently, she sometimes feels her heart beating fast and is afraid to run around. I coaxed the old lady into saying that the day after tomorrow is the lunar calendar 19, which happens to be the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva. I can go to the temple to worship, and the car will drive directly to the temple gate. When the old lady heard that she could burn incense in the temple without climbing the steps, she agreed happily.
0 1 Gushan Feng Shui Legend
123, 65438+ Departed from Hongwei at 8: 00 am, arrived in Fuzhou at 9: 00 to meet menstruation, and arrived in Gushan at around 9: 45. There is a folk geomantic legend in Fuzhou, which is "the left drum and the right flag, eight Fujian and two unique skills". The left drum is the drum mountain.
As the Qinglong Mountain in Fuzhou, Gushan Mountain has its own magic, which is named after its peak is shaped like a drumhead boulder. According to legend, this drum was specially left by General Tian Ting to save the dragon. Whenever it is stormy, there will be the sound of stone drums swaying, that is, the generals beat drums on the top of the drums to face the attack of the Dragon King at sea and call on the three armed forces to prepare for the battle.
Yongquan Temple in Gushan is even more famous in the world. It is the pride of Fuzhou to rank first among temples in Fujian. Known as "you must visit Gushan when you come to Fuzhou". The temple is surrounded by lush old forests, which can be said to be "you can't see the temple when you enter the mountain."
Shen Yan, the founder of this temple, is even more legendary. Because the temple is built on the bird's nest in a lonely mountain, the bird's nest gives birth to swallows and grandchildren, and Yongquan Temple can live and prosper among monks and dry people. According to legend, after the completion of Yongquan Temple at that time, the incense of Gushan became more and more prosperous. In order to facilitate pilgrims to climb the mountain, the monks in the temple decided to build a road up the mountain. After 7749 days' efforts, a winding stone mountain road has been paved from the foot of Gushan Mountain to the entrance of Yongquan Temple.
Shen Yan, the founder of this mountain, was very happy when he saw this stone avenue. But after a few days, I was not happy, because all the monks in the temple were sick and died on this stone avenue. The pilgrims were afraid to go up the mountain when they heard that there was a plague in Yongquan Temple. For a time, the monks of Gushan Yongquan Temple fled everywhere, with few pilgrims and few people.
Shen Yan was puzzled, so he went to the top of Gushan Baiyun Mountain to see the stone road, trying to find out the reason. Looking from a distance, vaguely, he found that the whole stone road was full of ferocity. He thought it over carefully, and then cried out in horror. This stone road from the foot of the mountain to the gate of Yongquan Temple winds like a python, and the stone slabs on the ridge road are like scales on the python. The snakehead is facing the gate of Yongquan Temple, opening a big basin of blood, swallowing the swallows going out to the nest. This stone road is clearly a "snake running to the bird's nest", and the geomantic omen of Yongquan Temple was broken by this stone road.
Fortunately, Shen Yan is a great master. He returned to Yongquan Temple, called all the monks to build nine mountain pavilions on the newly built stone road on the mountain, from the foot of the mountain to the gate. These nine mountain pavilions are like nine big nails, firmly nailed to the stone road turned by this python, cutting the python into seven sections, so that it can't do any harm.
After that, a stone road was built with drinking water rock, which was paved with stone slabs and went straight to the mountain gate. This road is centipede ridge road, thinking that centipede bites seven inches. Snakes are afraid of centipedes, so this python can't be resurrected. Without the snake demon, the incense of Yongquan Temple is growing stronger and stronger.
The temperature on the mountain is low and there is a little rain. Fortunately, grandma wore a thin down jacket and sweater. When the old lady came to Yongquan Temple for the first time, she brought several pieces 100 in her small bag, so she wanted to add sesame oil. I think I have loved to worship Buddha since I was a child, and I also followed the old lady's temper.
The clay tablet of the imperial book "Yongquan Temple" awarded by Emperor Kangxi is still hanging on the door of the Temple of the King.
02? Xanadu Prajna Garden and Shigu Shuxiang
Yongquan Temple came out and asked the battery car at the door to go to Prajna Garden. Most people may feel strange about Prajna Garden. Even my sister-in-law has been to the lonely mountain many times, but I never knew there was a Prajna Garden on the lonely mountain. After waiting for 10 minutes, Abreu, who was driving a battery car, came. Don't underestimate Aber in Fuzhou. He is definitely a good driver. Just a car with a width of 18 turn in the air lane, driving steadily and quickly at the corner, it feels like shuttling through the clouds. He looks like an old driver. A trip to a battery car costs 20 yuan, grandma said, and this money really needs to be earned by capable people.
Prajna Garden is located in the depths of Gushan Mountain, formerly known as prajna temple, which was built in the late Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 300 years. Today, the rebuilt Prajna Garden is not only a place where many Nepalese practice, but also an excellent scenery on the lonely mountain.
Walking into the mountain gate, six stone turtles came into view with a stone tablet, on which lay a stone dragon, lifelike. Let's see what these words, "surprises", mean. Interpretation in the Heart Sutra: When you see a Bodhisattva, you will walk in the depths of Prajna Paramita for a long time, and you will see that the five aggregates are empty and bitter.
Bypassing the stone tablet and looking from one end of the release pond, the pavilions and pavilions of Prajna Garden suddenly have a panoramic view. Climbing up the stairs, the antique cloister twists and turns. In the monastery, a family has been enjoying the beautiful scenery here. The water is hazy, and several golden and red fish are swimming underwater.
Go through the cloister and come to the main hall of Prajna Garden. The main hall of Prajna Garden is exquisite and small, and two seven-story four-corner towers stand behind the main hall, which is the "twin towers of wisdom and sorrow" of Prajna Garden. The two pagodas of wisdom and compassion are Guanyin Pagoda and Manjusri Pagoda for pilgrims to worship.
Peacocks fly southeast and wander for five miles. There are several clear birds singing in the four corners of the yard. The master driving the battery car asked us if we had seen the peacock. Unfortunately, we didn't see it this time. I look forward to seeing "triumphant" next time.
This picture was taken by the manager of Shigu Shuxiang Hotel.
Next to Prajna Garden, there are stone drums and books, and the resort hotel on the cliff is like boarding a "paradise". Overlooking the Sanjiangkou (the intersection of Minjiang River, Majiang River and Wulong River), half of Fuzhou City is included.
I ate noodles at Shigu Shuxiang Hotel for lunch, and a bowl of 48 yuan was very expensive for my grandmother and aunt. Later, I thought that it was not easy for workers to transport grain up the mountain, and I felt that the price on the mountain should be respected. Noodles are real noodles, a bit like grandma's four-supplement noodle soup. Fluttershy's four side dishes are delicious and refreshing, and everyone likes them.
Xichan Temple, Tangli, big banyan trees cover the sky, and the dense forest gives birth to a clean heart.
After going down the mountain, go straight to Xichan Temple, which is adjacent to Fuzhou University. Xichan Temple, built in the Tang Dynasty, was planted with litchi at the beginning of its construction. As soon as I rode on the smile of smoke and smoke, no one knew that the fresh fruit litchi was sent from the south. There are not only banyan trees that cover the sky, but also a hollow tree, which has been supported by a layer of skin for thousands of years and is known as the treasure of the town temple.
04 Jiangzhong Temple-Jinshan Temple
At about four o'clock in the afternoon, I went to Jinshan Temple, the only underwater temple in Fuzhou. Because it looks like a lithograph floating on the water, it looks like Jinshan in Zhenjiang, south of the Yangtze River, so it is named Xiaojinshan. It is located in the middle of the water. After thousands of years, it has never been submerged. This is the magical place.
Speaking of Jinshan Temple, you may first think of the famous bridge section "Shuiman Jinshan Temple" in Legend of the White Snake. It is generally known that Jinshan Temple is in Zhenjiang, Jiangsu, and the other is Jinshan Temple in Fuzhou. Although it is not so famous, it also has its own unique highlights.
It is also said that there is a turtle who has been practicing for thousands of years under the Jinshan Pagoda. Its divine power is infinite, which can make Jinshan Temple compete with the tide and the flood can't drown it. The White Snake in fairy tales could not compete with Fahai in Jinshan Temple in Zhenjiang, and once took refuge in Jinshan Pagoda in Minjiang River. Under the protection of the tortoise, Fahai couldn't catch the White Snake. Later, the White Snake was "covered with mountains and fields" because of fighting Fahai, and the Minjiang River flooded, causing countless casualties. The tortoise got angry and stopped helping her. The White Snake fell into Fahai's hands. Thus, the Jinshan Pagoda in Minjiang River is also famous for its mythical color.
Grandma listened to my story about the legend of the white snake. She watched this TV series and learned about Fahai and White Snake. I didn't think it had anything to do with this small temple in front of me. She was very excited. My aunt couldn't help saying that such a small temple is really spiritual for you tourists to talk about. Haha, aunt praised this very well. And the small temple in the water is full of pilgrims, and the boatman who pulls the boat is not idle for a moment.
There is a fragrant camphor tree of Li Lian on the island, which is full of spirituality: as long as the suitor touches the trunk of Yin and Yang, he will find a satisfactory object. With the help of Li Lianshu, the suitor calls it a "love tree". Students who pursue fame will be the first as long as they pray silently under the tree. This is caused by Weng Zhuangyuan's planting of camphor tree to protect his offspring, which students call "the champion tree". This ancient camphor tree grows in the west of Jinshan Temple, facing the Elysium. As long as good men and women worship in the shade, they will come into contact with bodhi dew and smell Brahma's voice. Good believers respect it as "Bodhi Tree".
Yueshui Town in Fujian takes you through time and space and feels the historical charm of Fujian's capital for thousands of years.
When I came out of Jinshan Temple, it began to rain again, and my mobile phone was dead. Grandma thinks it's getting dark and it's time to go back. On the way back, I passed the water town of Fujian and Guangdong. I decided to take my grandma and aunt to see the scenic spots in front of the house. Fujian-Guangdong water town, located in Zhuqi Township, Minhou County, is only half an hour's drive from my home Hongwei Township. Drawing lessons from the urban pattern of "two towers on one floor" in old Fuzhou, the scenic spot takes Hayes and Fujian and Vietnam as the themes to reproduce the style of Fuzhou's century-old water town. Light Show+Dream-seeking Millennium Fujian-Vietnam large-scale water show has become the punching point of Fuzhou's new online celebrities.
I ate McDonald's in the scenic spot for dinner. I specially ordered a cup of hamburger hot milk tea for the old lady. I didn't expect such a simple fast food to arouse the feelings of the old lady. The old lady said that she lived in her eighties and ate McDonald's for the first time. After visiting the old street of Shuizhen, I found that many snacks in Shuizhen are authentic Fuzhou flavor, and the price is cheap. Every shopkeeper is very enthusiastic and practical. My ears are full of Fuzhou dialect, and that feeling is very kind. I couldn't help eating another Fuzhou flower cake.
I just hope that the years will be quiet and I will go home to spend more time with you.
On this day, the old lady was a little tired. While she was distressed that I spent money, she nagged the old people in the village, and her descendants rarely took them to travel to Fuzhou. Aunt said that if grandpa were still here, he could enjoy his old age. Yes, if only they were all here.
Time, just want to flow quietly, the old lady is healthy; For years, I just wanted to be quiet and stay at home more.
