Jiufeng Mountain is 3315m above sea level. It is the highest mountain in Pengzhou, a sacred and mysterious area, and a place shared by Taoism and Buddhism. As the ancients said, people who don't mean what they say often encounter wind, rain and lightning, and will not be spared or die a natural death.
Jiu Feng is named after nine peaks. Qing Jiaqing's "Peng County Records" contains: it is 160 miles northwest. At this point, the Qifeng is towering in accordance with the sky, and nine people are towering, which is actually the crown, hence the name. What shape is Jiu Feng? Jiaqing Zhili said: White Qinglong, Suzaku, Flame and Tianya in the northeast of Jiu Feng are backlit by China and Japan, and Ren Xian, Huanglong, Yuan Wu and Baihu in the southwest are winding.
Jiu Feng is full of clouds and high into the sky. When the ancient Shu people didn't know the relationship between the sun and the earth, they thought that the tall and straight Jiu Feng blocked the way of the sun and the moon, and called the valley between Jiu Feng the Mongolian Valley where the sun entered (where the sun rested). Some people who study Shan Hai Jing say that Jiufeng Mountain is the Lingshan referred to in Xiye Jing. Wu Peng, tachileik, Wu Ji, Gu Wu, Zhen Wu, Wu Li, Wu Di, Wu Xie, Wu Luo and other ten wizards all came from here. There are all kinds of drugs here, and some should be picked up when going up and down to treat people. Therefore, this mountain is also known as the ladder, the fairy road and the fairyland on earth. Some people say that this mountain is a spirit, a god, a fairy, a storm, and an elixir.
Among the mountain peaks, the flame peak is particularly strange. In the meantime, there are deep canyons, waterfalls in groups, clear flowing springs, mountains and islands, colorful virgin forests and unpredictable clouds and Buddha's light. In spring, azaleas are in full bloom and look like sunrise. In winter, red is particularly enchanting. Taoist and Buddhist families compete for jobs. During the Northern Song Dynasty, it was a scenic spot in western Sichuan, with pavilions, hidden trees and hidden bamboos. Flame Peak has become the name of Jiufeng Mountain. The Jiufeng Mountain mentioned by later generations does not refer to nine peaks, but refers to flaming peaks.
Many monks and sages in history stopped here. The story of the founder of Jiu Feng has been circulated since the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the past, Jiufeng Mountain feared the officials and the people, and it seemed that it was a matter of sincere desire for the mountains, so it blocked disasters for the people and prayed for rain and children. Its temple materials are also different. The temples in the mountains used too many iron tiles and giant trees, which became the ideal raw materials for legislative steelmaking during the Great Leap Forward. Since 1985, this mountain has been developed into a provincial-level natural scenic spot, and religious circles are actively restoring temples, which is adding infinite glory to Jiufeng Mountain.
