Since then, pilgrims from Huguang, Jiangxi and Henan have been in an endless stream for many years, and the incense of Jiugong Mountain is lingering, which has painted this famous mountain with magical colors.

Zhonggang shibatan

Eighteen beaches in China and Hong Kong are newly developed scenic spots in Jiugong Mountain. Located in Zhonggang Folk Village, Jiugongshan, the entrance is more than 300 meters away from Jiugongshan ticket office. It is a new scenic spot, with a mileage of 4 kilometers, leading to Wushou Temple and a folk village in China and Hong Kong. The lower part of the whole scenic spot is divided into deep and long canyons, the middle part is relatively flat and the upper part is long and curved. Mountain peaks stand on both sides of the scenic spot, and Maolin Xiuzhu is all over it. One pool is connected to another, one pool is high, one pool is high, and there are pools everywhere. The shapes of pools are different, and the names of Eighteen Pools are elegant, unique and vivid. Their names are Fangxin Lake, Dangui Lake, Yueming Lake, Xiangu Bath Lake, Jiezhen Lake, Yuanyang Lake, Niulang Lake, Zhinv Lake, Xiang Si Lake, Yulong Huaichun Lake, Shame on Flowers Lake, Guanyue Lake, Yuanmeng Lake, Lovers Lake, Junzi Lake, Nianci Lake, Bijian Lake and Xingdou Lake. Wooden arch bridges and bamboo suspension bridges in the scenic area are connected with deep streams. The torrent is dynamic boiling, and the mountain peak is static boiling. The trees on both sides of Shibatan become the pillars of symphony, and the beautiful bamboo naturally becomes the strings. The mountain wind blows over the strings, and the continuous rhyme and unrestrained torrent contrast into a graceful and restrained one. The unrestrained and graceful factions are in harmony here and complement each other. This is also a unified force of nature, and it is also a vivid scene of China and Hongkong Shibatan Scenic Area. The Eighteen Lakes between China and Hong Kong are another tourist highlight after Shilonggou. If Shilonggou is a fairy tale world full of joy, then the Eighteen Lakes between China and Hong Kong is a colorful and touching love world. This is the ocean of love, the mysterious Garden of Eden. Ruiqing Palace is a famous Taoist temple in the history of China. Since it was founded by Muslim Zhang Dao in the Southern Song Dynasty, it has been sealed by emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty, Yuan Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Qing Dynasty. There are 17 imperial edicts in Jiugong "Yin Lun Pavilion". Unfortunately, these precious cultural relics were later destroyed by the fire. According to the Records of Jiugong Mountain compiled in past dynasties, Jiugong Mountain, as a holy place of Taoism, attracts pilgrims and tourists because of "three wins", one is the beautiful scenery of Lingshan, the other is the true ancestors, and the third is the Imperial Sect. Jiugongshan Palace is grounded and has an extraordinary momentum. After natural and man-made disasters, it has experienced ups and downs. Finally, the palace was destroyed, leaving only the stone hall. Now, the Jiugongshan Taoist temple ancient road field can be restored, which means that the Jiugongshan ancient road field, which has been destroyed and built repeatedly, will reproduce its former glory.

Jiugong Mountain is a famous Taoist mountain. Taoism has 10 caves and 36 caves, of which the 25th cave is the shogunate cave and Xuanmen Imperial College is the ancestral hall.

Jiugong became attached to gossip. Jiugong Bagua is the essence of Taoism and Yijing. The ancients regarded Jiugong as the number of heaven and earth, which also came from gossip. Baguazhang and the Central Committee jointly form the Nine Palaces. According to the legend of Taoist circles in Jiugong Mountain, I didn't know that the Taoist priests in the Northern Wei Dynasty named Jiugong Mountain according to the principle of gossip.

Based on the above historical records, it is proved that the name of Jiugong Mountain is inextricably linked with Taoism. In a word, Jiugong Mountain is named after "Tao", which is famous and legendary.

Zhang Dao is a famous Muslim in the Southern Song Dynasty, and is known as the founder of Jiugong Mountain. 1 187, he realized that "the star wants to fight a bullfight, and the boundary is connected with Lu Heng. In the prosperous times, it ranks ninth." Passing through Jiujiang, a fairy in Lu Yu told him, "My generation has escaped from Jiugong, and I would like to be a famous ancestor as early as possible.". So from Yangxin to Tongshan, I went straight to Jiugong and opened the Dojo. This Taoist immortal created "Jiugong Martial Arts" with his profound Qigong, mastery of Taoist doctors and brilliant Daoism, which made him famous in the Central Plains.

1 195, Ningzong acceded to the throne. He strongly supported Zhang Dao's Muslims to engage in Taoism and was determined to build Jiugong Mountain into a sacred place of incense in the south of the Yangtze River. Get the misty couple together, build great buildings on the mountain, and build extraordinary palaces in a few years. Jiugong Mountain and Zhang Dao's Muslim people are far away. "Things in the river, Huguang North and South, Huaihe River Han Xiang, Gaishizi, not far away, feeling the spirit, climbing to congratulate." "There are thousands of people who visit the shrine every day." Jiugong Mountain has become one of the five largest Dojo in China. 1 199, Ning sent a court minister to Jiugong to build Luotian's righteousness, praying that Ning Zong would live a long life, making the Ministry of Internal Affairs paint a portrait of a real animal, and praised it with the imperial pen: "Sleeping without dreams, sleeping without worries, useless heart and wandering spirit." What else do you want from me when you're at large? "Banning the Muslim people of Zhang Dao" and "defending the country and protecting the real people". (The full name of the holy name of Zhang Dao Muslim: Taiping protects the country, Zhenmu Temple Yingpu Hongxing Daozhen Jun)

On July 7, 2007, 1207, Zhang Dao, an old parent, sat in the Wanshou Palace in Senwan. After Emperor Ning Zongdi approved the legacy, he ordered that the corpse be sacrificed in Jiugong Mountain. 12 10, Ning Zong once wrote down the word "true wooden hall" and carved a tablet to give it. In addition, Zhang Dao's Muslim disciples were endowed with 40-word qualifications, so they were called "Royal Daoism".

Zhenjun Temple, formerly known as Zuye Temple, is located in the middle of Fenghuangtou at the southern foot of Fenghuang Mountain on the north bank of Jiugong Mountain, facing the censer peak, with the tiger gate on the left and the dragon cliff on the right. It is a natural Taoist geomantic anti-gossip building. It is also the only surviving ancient building among dozens of palaces in Jiugong Mountain. In the hall, the Eucharist of the founder of the Muslim has been preserved intact for 648 years. Infinite manjuji is a scenic spot combining humanity and nature. The majestic Buddhist temple is located in the mountains, hidden among the pines and cypresses. When you walk into the temple of boundless longevity, you walk into Buddhism. This ancient temple, which was built in the Tang Dynasty and destroyed in the Qing Dynasty, consists of two parts, namely, the old temple-Yun Guan Ancient Temple and the new temple-Wuliangshou Temple.

In the early Tang Dynasty, in 6 18 A.D., Master Khufu built a Dojo here to promote Buddhism. At that time, there were thousands of pilgrims on Jiugong Mountain every day, and the name of Buddha spread ten miles, which was known as "paradise on earth". Due to historical reasons, it has experienced several ups and downs. 1984, Qin Sheng, a great monk, returned to his hometown to revive the Dojo, so that the Buddha's light in the Vatican Palace could reappear in the world.

Over the past 20 years, with the initiative and efforts of the great monk Qin Sheng, more than 65,438+billion yuan has been raised at home and abroad, and the Infinite Life Temple has been built into the largest Dojo with the longest history and the most spectacular architecture in southern Hubei. Infinite manjuji covers an area of 50 mu with a building area of over 50,000 square meters. On the central axis of the temple, there are antique mountain gates, open-air giant Buddha, Blissful Bridge, Tianwang Hall, Daxiong Hall, Tomi Palace, Buddha Hall and Dharma Hall. A monastery with more than 300 stepped buildings on both sides. There is also a living room, warehouse, infirmary, lecture hall, reading room, office, reference room, reception room, and an express hall that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. The first and second phases of Wuliangshou Temple were fully completed. Infinite longevity temple has become a pearl of Jiugong Mountain.
