Introduction of Dongshan Scenic Area:

Dongshan Mountain is the birthplace of China Buddhism Cao Dongzong and a model of Buddhism in the world. Cao Dongzong has followers all over the world. As early as 840 A.D., monks such as Japanese Washi Nengguang and North Korea Liyan lived in Dongshan for a long time, which made Cao Dong Buddhism enter Japan and North Korea. Now, Cao Dong has tens of millions of followers in Japan. Buddhism in Cao Dong was founded by Liang Jia (AD 835) and spread all over the world. Liang Jia gained his fame as a Buddhist monk in Xian Tong in the tenth year (AD 869), and after his death, he built a Hui Jue Tower in the back hill of Dongshan.

Dongshan Mountain is not only the birthplace of Buddhism in Cao Dongzong, but also a tourist attraction integrating Buddhist culture and natural ecology. In the virgin forest of the scenic spot, ancient trees are towering, vines are entangled, animals walk and birds jump, waterfalls fly and the scenery is beautiful. There are more than 20 scenic spots, including Puli Temple, Jiazu Pagoda, Su Stone Carving, Muyu Stone, Qixian Bridge, Millennium Arhat Pine, Shishangnan, Qufeng Bridge, Yeshe Mountain, Mahogany Pot, Niutou Mountain, Jingkeng and many other stupas. There are four golden characters on the majestic mountain gate, which are the Cave Mountain Zen Forest inscribed by the late former President of the Buddhist Association, Mr. Zhao Puchu. The Cave Mountain is beautiful and has produced beautiful women from generation to generation. When you come to Dongshan to see the Buddha's light and the aura of Mudong Mountain, you can turn misfortune into luck, escape from death, develop your career and succeed in everything.

[Puri Temple] was built in the middle of Tang Xiantong, and was rebuilt on 1988. This temple covers an area of 6,806 square meters and is the ancestral home of Cao Dongzong. There are "Hall of Great Heroes, Hall of Hannah Quinlivan, Hall of Monks and Pavilion of Scriptures" with a total area of 996.6 square meters.

[Jiazuta] The founder of Cao Dongzong died in Dongshan, which is a good price. Emperor Zong Yi posthumously awarded him the title of "Wuben Zen Master" and built the tower. The pagoda is hexagonal with a height of 3.2 meters and a cover width of 1.2 meters.

[Muyu Stone] 80 meters southwest of Fengqiu Bridge, there is a huge black stone on the cliff, 3.3 meters wide and 2.6 meters high. One end is high and the other end is low, so it is named because it looks like a wooden fish and can make a peeling sound when hitting the top. According to legend, the good price attracted the disciples of Dongshan, made the world believe in Buddhism in succession, and angered Tie Guai Li (Taoist). He came to Dongshan to see the abbot, and it happened that Liang Jia was talking about Zen, so it was not appropriate to disturb him. So Tie Guai Li shouted outside the temple, asking for a good price to answer. This voice alarmed Liang Jiashi. As soon as he got out of the temple, he recognized the visitor and said, "So it's your 800-year-old ghost!" Tie Guai Li replied, "Then you are a prodigal son for 500 years. I want you to lose today." He immediately threw the iron crutch over, and when he saw that the crutch had turned into a hill, he pressed it straight on his head. With a snap of his finger, he was laid down on the right side of his temple, becoming a "crutch mountain". He came without disrespect, and threw the wooden fish at a good price. When Tie Guai Li saw it, he fled, and the wooden fish landed a stone's throw away from the temple, turning into a "wooden fish stone".

[Ye Heshi] According to legend, this stone can be opened and closed day and night, which is the lock of Dongshan, and there is a "salt well" under the stone. However, due to the profiteering of wicked monks stealing salt, the stone gates that automatically open and close and the salt wells that automatically produce salt lose their spirituality.

[Su Zhe's Poem of Traveling to the Cave Mountain] Su Zhe, a great writer in the Song Dynasty, traveled to the Cave Mountain, leaving a cliff stone poem, saying, "The ancient temple occupies several peaks in the mountain, and the secluded place is like a heavenly palace. It is a hindrance to be an official for three years, and it goes without saying that crossing the river in a hundred miles. Where the Buddha and the monk were born, it is better to join the group of birds and beasts. " Seeing the book collar, I looked at the room with a smile.

[Millennium Arhat Pine] There used to be an Arhat Pine on each side of the mountain gate, which was planted by Liang's own family. There is only one tree left, DBH is more than L meters, and it is thousands of years old, but it is still flourishing.

[Night Crane Mountain Tallinn] There are 10 towers. Built between 1644- 1766, it was buried by the abbot of the 30 th-36 th Dongshan Puli Temple. In the middle of the pagoda is the tomb tower where ordinary monks in the temple are buried together.

Qufeng Bridge is located 300 meters above the Baibu Dike in Dongshan. The bridge was built in the fifth year of Song Shaosheng (1098). It was built by Zhang Zhongshu's wife, Lei Si San Niang, and her son, Yu Xi, with the savings from picking up rice ears, in memory of the good-priced Zen master's enlightenment here. Since then, Zhang Lei, a local family with two surnames, has flourished and talented people have come forth in large numbers. Lei Sisan Niang has always been the great-grandson of Prime Minister Zuo, and there is no lawsuit at home. So there is a saying that it would be a blessing to donate a bridge with holes, mountains and canals. The arches of this bridge are composed of 7 longitudinal parallel arches, each of which contains 1 1 granite, and 77 rectangular stones are arranged in 7 rows to form a load-bearing arch slab, and each row is connected with longitudinal and transverse stone joints. There are two stone warriors standing on the arch shoulders as bridge protectors. The total length of the bridge is 15m, the bridge deck width is 4.7m, the clear distance of the bridge arch is 4.2m, the arch height is 2. 1m, and the rise-span ratio is 2: 1. It is a steep slope arch. The stone arch at the bottom of the bridge deck is engraved with the date of construction, the name of the donor and the name of the main builder. The word "Fengqiu Bridge" was inscribed by Qian Qi, then the county magistrate, on the basis of "Fengqiu" written by people who waded here when he came to this cave at a good price. In June 2002, an antique pavilion was built on the bridge.

【 Flying Practice of Silver Waterfall 】 There is a waterfall 50 meters upstream of Qu Feng Bridge, which is nearly 10 meters high. The water falls under the vertical steep wall, forming a scenic spot of flying practice of the Silver Waterfall, which is really like "hanging the valley in the air and shaking the jade beads with a silver curtain". At noon on a sunny day, the sun shines directly on the waterfall, reflecting a rainbow of seven colors, which is suspected to be "Buddha's light".
