The famous mountain style of Zhenwushan Taoist temple

Zhenwushan is like a triangular jade screen, located in the southwest of Xiangyang City. Looking from the south of Tanxi Road, she carries Wuling, Hutou, Huashan and Phoenix on her back, sitting in the lush embrace, an inconspicuous hill with profound cultural accumulation. For hundreds of years, out of the mentality of appreciating the scenic spot of "beautiful mountains and beautiful scenery in Xiangyang", worshipping Xiaoding has become a fashion, which is as famous as the top of Wudang Mountain. Every year, the festival is crowded with people, praying for the blessing of Zhenwu's ancestors, which confirms the Millennium famous saying: "The mountain is not high, the fairy is not famous."

Overlooking Zhenwu, the peaks are different in height. As seen from the east foot, the first-line blade is as high as the sky, which seems to be in danger of "one road in ancient Huashan"; The west slope is lush, and Lin Tao is rustling. When you climb this mountain, the breeze blows your face and makes you feel happy. Leaning against the railing, Nozomi is the most attractive place, the ancient city is brand-new, the jade belt sets off, and the vast Han River falls from the sky; The endless fertile land, a flat territory and a river with a sharp turn to the south seem to deliberately surround the ancient city of Xiangzhou, which is really a matter of course; The mountains around Nanshan are rolling, Zhenwu Mountain is in the central sharp corner, and the water is wide and the sky is wide. You are drunk without wine.

Walking on the mountain road, I often see Taoist priests picking wild vegetables in the back hill, which shows the diligence and thrift of Taoist priests. The current abbot is a young master of Qinghui, who is the 14th generation authentic descendant of Zhang Sanfeng, the originator of Wutangshan. Although Xiao is a little Taoist, he has been a monk for many years and his brow is elegant and wise. Most Taoist priests in Zhenwu Mountain are proficient in Wudang Kung Fu under the demonstration of Xiao Daochang. It is reported that on June 8, 2004,165438+in 2004, more than 20 German martial arts fans came to Zhenwushan to learn China Wudang Kung Fu, and Xiao Pin and Taoist priest happily taught his foreign disciples a set of Wudang Sanfeng School health preserving techniques.

Visiting fairy mountain, many historical sites, such as stars, can be described as "looking for historical sites in fine mountains, and the hills and valleys are full of mystery." First of all, I saw a huge stone forehead standing, which read "Overview of Han Xian". At the foot of Dongshan Mountain, there is a 20-square-meter Mo Yan stone carving, which records the record of resistance to aggression in the late Song Dynasty-"Ji". The story of Liu Bei and Ma Yue Tanxi in Romance of the Three Kingdoms also happened here. At the northern foot of Zhenwu Mountain, a thick horseshoe print on a piece of bluestone still exists and is well preserved. According to legend, it is the place where Liu Bei rode over Tanxi, which is one of the famous relics in the "Three Kingdoms" period.

In the valley on the south slope, there is a steep stone wall that goes straight into the sky, which is the remains left by taking stones from the mountains. In the last century, mountains were cut and rocks were blasted here to meet the needs of urban and rural construction, but half of the mountains were cut off, and the remains of man-made mountains added a new view of famous mountains. Walking into the narrow Gu Dao, brown sandstone stands looking up, and the walls are broken and magnificent. Enjoy the perfect scenery, here is another magnificent momentum. Meng Haoran, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, once sang in the mountains of his hometown that "the stone wall is suspected of being chopped", and this is the scene in front of him. The red-walled trees on the top of the mountain, such as cassia twig hanging in the air in Gong Yue Qiong Pavilion, make people feel "afraid to speak loudly for fear of disturbing people".

According to Xiao Pin and Dao Chang of Zhenwushan, Taoist Temple plans to build some houses at the foot of Zhenwushan Square for reception. Nanyan Palace will be built in the valley and half cliff on the south slope; Shibi will be built into a large cliff stone carving with 5000 words of morality engraved on it. It is conceivable that Zhenwu Mountain in the future will have different scenery.
