Today, we will visit Huashan Mountain, which is known as "stone for lotusand cloud for platform". Huashan Mountain is located in Huayin City, ShaanxiProvince, 100 kilometers away from the ancient city of Xi'an. It is a branch ofthe eastern Qinling Mountains. It was formed as early as 700 million years ago.It was called "Xiyue" in ancient times. It is one of the five mountains inChina. In December 1992, Huishan mountain was rated as one of the top 40 scenicspots in China. It is tall and steep, magnificent. The five main peaks aretowering, just like a blooming lotus, full of vitality and brilliance. The fivemain peaks are called Dongfeng (Chaoyang peak), Xifeng (Lianhua peak), Nanfeng(Luoyan peak), Beifeng (Yuntai peak) and Zhongfeng (yunnv peak). Among them,Nanfeng is the highest with an altitude of 2160.5 meters, while Beifeng is thelowest with an altitude of 1614.7 meters. Li Daoyuan, a geographer of theNorthern Wei Dynasty, said in shuijingzhu that Huashan Mountain "looks like aflower from a distance.". In ancient Chinese, "Hua" and "Hua" are common, sothey are called Huashan. According to the research of Gu Yanwu, a scholar inQing Dynasty, our ancestor Xuanyuan yellow emperor once lived in the YellowRiver Valley of Huashan and Xiaxian County in Shanxi Province, so the Chinesepeople are called Huaxia descendants. The "Hua" of "China" is named afterHuashan, which has become the spiritual portrayal of the Chinese nation. It canbe said that the Yellow River is the mother river and Huashan is the fathermountain.
I believe that even friends who have never been to Huashan will learnsomething about Huashan from some interesting myths and anecdotes, such as "aroad to Huashan since ancient times", "fairy palm of Huayue", "aloes splittingmountain to save mother", "Huashan discussing sword", and modern wisdom tocapture Huashan. These beautiful myths and stories reflect people's yearning andworship for Huashan since ancient times.
How did Huashan come into being? First of all, there is a legend: it issaid that when Dayu was harnessing the water, people and gods helped himeverywhere. When the water of the Yellow River led out of Longmen and came toTongguan, he was blocked by two high mountains. Dayu could not help sighing.When the giant spirit heard Dayu's sigh in heaven, he immediately came to Dayuby flying clouds and fog, expressing his willingness to help him. The giantspirit seized the top of a mountain in the south. The mountain was split in twoin an instant. Then he opened the mountain in the north with his feet. TheYellow River flowed through the gap. The mountain in the south is divided intotwo parts, the high one is Huashan, and the low one is Taihua. Li Bai has a poemthat "the giant spirit roars and breaks two mountains, and the flood rushes tothe East China Sea.".
Huashan overlooks the Yellow River in the north and Qinling Mountains inthe south. It is known as "Huashan ruli". The whole mountain has simple lines,such as knife cutting and axe splitting. Its unique peaks are abrupt andmajestic. It is known as "the most dangerous mountain in the world".
Huashan is famous for its wonderful and dangerous scenery. Huashan has"five wonders", which are "strange stones", "strange trees", "strange water","strange caves" and "strange roads". Huashan Shiqi, speaking of Qi, is composedof a huge and complete granite. The ancients said, "it's not strange that thereare no stones in the mountain, it's not strange that there are no pure stones.""Huashan is cut into four directions, its width is ten li, its height is fivethousand Ren, one stone is also called" Daqi ". Huashan has five main peaks,among which the East, West and South peaks are the highest, and the three peaksstand in opposition, "flying out of the clouds and falling into the YellowRiver", known as "three peaks outside the sky". When it comes to danger, the"Changkong plank road" erected in the air, the "Quanzhen rock" engraved on theoverhanging rock, the "Yaozi turning over" with three sides of the air, the"Yaozi turning over" with convex top and concave bottom, and the "qianchitong","baichixia", "Laojun furrow", "chaerya" and "canglongling" dug on theoverhanging rock of the cliff are all extremely dangerous.
Huashan has not only magnificent natural landscape, but also richhistorical and cultural accumulation. It is one of the four famous mountains inChina. Taoist culture has a long history here. Human landscape is everywhere,which makes people forget to return.
Today's tour of Huashan begins with Yuquan temple, which is known as thestarting point of Huashang road since ancient times. Yuquan temple is a famousQuanzhen Taoist temple in northern China and one of the main places for ChineseTaoist activities. It was built in 1049-1051 during the reign of emperorShenzong of the Song Dynasty. It was built by Taoist Jia Desheng for master ChenTuan. It was destroyed and repaired several times before it came into existencein the Ming and Qing Dynasties Now this scale, the name of Xiyi temple, becausethe song Taizu gave Chen Tuan the name "Mr. Xiyi". Later, it was renamedyuquanyuan. The scenic spots in Yuquan courtyard include baishitai, WuyouPavilion, 72 windows, Quanzhen Qizi hall, main hall, Tongtian Pavilion, etc.
Through yuquanyuan, you will embark on the journey of Huashan Mountain fromancient times. This mountain climbing Road is 12.5km long and has 9567 steps.Along the way, you can see the charming scenery of the mountains and thetempting Shinto. There is only one road to a famous mountain since ancienttimes, which is a wonder of the world. It has its own records. The road wasbuilt in the Tang Dynasty. Climbing along this road to Huashan can not onlyexercise and surpass itself, but also cherish the memory of the sages andexpress the feelings of the ancient. At the same time, this road is also themost beautiful scenery of Huashan. Only by climbing it can we really appreciateand understand Huashan.
Along the way, through wuliguan, shaluoping, maonvdong and qingkeping, wearrive at the throat of Huashan Mountain. Here is the dangerous road called"Taihua throat" named "qianchizhuang". It has 370 steps with a slope of 70degrees. Local people have a saying about this dangerous road, which is called"qianchichuang, baichixia, Laojun plough up". After a thousand feet building,the dangerous road with 46 meters high and 91 stone steps is baichi gorge.
After crossing qianchichuang and baichixia, we come to the final difficultyof climbing the north peak. It is said that there was no road here. It wasopened by taishanglaojun driving a green ox with an iron plow. Because the shapeis like a furrow left by plowing, it is called Laojun furrow. In Taoist terms,"Li Gou" means that tourists come here, that is to say, they come to heaven,leave the dust and reach the fairyland.
After Laojun's furrow, he came to the north peak of Huashan Mountain, whichwas named because it was in the north of the main peak of Huayue mountain. It isalso called "Yuntai peak" because the three peaks of Huayue look like flowers inthe distance, and the top of the north peak is surrounded by white clouds, whichis like a platform of white clouds supporting lotus. It is the lowest of thefive peaks of Huashan Mountain, with an altitude of 1614 meters. Shangtong hasfour peaks: Central, South, East and West. It is not only an ideal resting placefor tourists after adventure, but also the best place to enjoy the top of themountain. On October 8, 20__, Mr. Jin Yong ascended Huashan Mountain and talkedabout swordsmen and swordsmen at the top of the mountain, presenting a moderncultural version of "Huashan swordsman".
Standing on the top of the north peak, we can see the main peak shape ofHuashan and other surrounding scenic spots. Its rocks are mainly granite, mostlywhite. Why are all the rocks in Huashan white? Geologists have found that therocks in Huashan have high content of silicon dioxide, so the color is white.Huashan, which is made of white granite, coincides with the main white in thewestern world controlled by the God of Huashan in Xiyue. This is acoincidence.
After touring Beifeng, crossing chaeryan and climbing TIANTI, you come tocanglongling, the most famous scenic spot in Huashan Mountain. Canglongling isnamed for its green and black ridge, winding like a Canglong in the air.
"After the golden gate, it's another heavy day." now we are at the famousGolden Gate of Huashan. Jinsuoguan, also known as tongtianmen, is the throatleading to Huashan's "tianwaisanfeng". After Tongtian gate, there is Zhongfeng,also known as yunnv peak. It is said that this was once the place where the jadegirl lived in seclusion, so it is also known as "jade girl peak". The jade girlis the daughter of Qin Mugong, one of the five tyrants in the spring and Autumnperiod and the Warring States period. She has a peerless appearance and is goodat playing flute. Now there is another cave in the West peak of HuashanMountain, which is called "the first cave in the world". It is the place wherePrincess Nongyu married Xiao Shixi, a hermit of Huashan Mountain.
After visiting Zhongfeng, you can climb the ladder to Dongfeng. Dongfeng,also known as Chaoyang peak, is 2090 meters above sea level. It is the bestplace for mountaineers to enjoy the sunrise of Huashan Mountain. The main scenicspots of Dongfeng include Botai, Yaozi turning over, chess Pavilion and so on.The kite turning over is known as the second danger of Huashan Mountain. Thecliff is more than ten feet high. When tourists arrive here, they need to climbthe iron rope by hand, step on the stone nest by foot, attach to the wall, andwhen they get near, they have to turn around on their side feet, so it is calledkite turning over.
Now we come to Nanfeng, the highest peak of Huashan Mountain, with analtitude of 2154.9 meters. It is said that geese returning to the north have torest here when they fly over Huashan Mountain, so it is also called Luoyan peak.There is water at the top of the peak. It's called yangtianchi. The water in thepond is not dry for a long time, and the water is not overflowing for a longtime, forming a spectacle. This is also the most concentrated place ofcalligraphy and stone carvings, such as "standing up to heaven", "bathing in thesun and the moon" and "towering in the sky", all of which highlight the heightof Nanfeng from different angles.
After visiting the south peak and passing through the alchemy furnace, youcome to the West peak of Huashan Mountain. Because there is a natural stone leafon the top of the peak, such as lotus petals, it is also called lotus peak, withan altitude of 2082 meters. Cuiyun palace is the best preserved Taoist temple onXifeng mountain. It's dedicated to doulao, the mother of the stars. This is alsothe place where we are all familiar with the story of Chenxiang splitting themountain to save her mother. The extraordinary as if done by the spirits of thenorth peak, we saw the great scenery of the central peak. We saw the beautifulsunrise of the East peak, and felt the high and steep south peak. We enjoyed theessence of Xifeng and enjoyed the wonders of the whole Huashan. We had beendoing amazing work for millions of years in Huashan. It has created abreathtaking and magnificent natural landscape of Huashan, and has accumulatedrich cultural connotations through thousands of years of literary and literarychants. It can be said that Huashan is closely linked with Huaxia, which is thesymbol of the Chinese nation. From the legends and allusions about Huashan, wecan see that it is not only broad, tactful, elegant, deep and serious, but alsohumorous, witty, even romantic and gentle. Isn't this a true portrayal of ourChinese nation?

Mt.Jiuhua was originally known as Jiuzi (Nine-Peak) Mount. Li Bai, a famous Chinese poet over 1300 years ago wrote of the mountain: ”sailing on the Yangtze River, watching Mt.Jiuhua from after, green water falls from the sky, nine lotuses appear in the air.” This expresses the poet’s great admiration for Mt.Jiuhua. From then on, the mountain was renamed as Mt.Jiuhua.
Mt.Jiuhua covers more than 100 square kilometers in area, which has been known to have 99 peaks, and the main peak of the Shiwang Peak is 1342m above sea level. Mt.Jiuhua is full of waterfalls, streams, exotic-looking boulders, ancient caves, old pines and exuberant bamboo. With the richly variegated landscape, the ancient temples are tucked away amid the dense woods and the air reverberates with the tolling of the bells at dawn and dusk. Mt.Jiuhua is usually known as the No.1 Mountain of the southeast.
Ok, I have said too much about the Mt.Jiuhua, and I expect you have got a general idea about it. Seeing is Beliving. I’m sure you will learn a lot about Chinese culture and Buddhism after the visit, and you will also be impressed deeply by the wonderful scenery. Let’s get off the bus and bring your camera. I’ll show you around the scenic areas.
Look! So many monks, why? Yes, that’s it! Because Mt.Jiuhua is a Buddhist mountain. Especially on July 30th of Chinese Lunar is the birthday of Earch Buddha, and a great Buddhist ceremony is held on this day. Around that day every year, the mountain is the site of a temple fair. A large number of monks, nuns, pilgrims and visitors come to burn incense, chant and sacrifice food. The activities of each year are different. Though today is not the festival, we can also enjoy the beautiful scenery. They are: Sunrise at Tiantai Platform, Evening bell of Huacheng Temple, Sitting on East Stone with pleasure, Fairy mark of Tianzhu, Taoyan waterfall, clouds around lotus peak and Phoenix Pine.
Ok, here we are, this is Huacheng Temple of Jiuhua Street. It was the first and oldest of all the temples of Mt.Jiuhua. Over 1500 years ago, Monk Beidu built a simple temple here. Then after 300 years it was reconstructed and named Huacheng Temple.
You see it lies a round plaza. Look at the center! What do you see? Yeah! It is a crescent shaped lotus pond named “Crescent Moon Pond” you can go towards it, what do you see? It is believed that Monk Jin Qiaojue used to free captive fish. Ok, now I say some brief introduction about it and then you can go around it. We’ll gather here after one hour, ok? The temple consists of four parts: the lobby, the grand hall, the back hall and the Scripture Tower. The ground slopes up with each part and the whole layout is natural. The doors, windows, brackets, beams, columns, steps and the cornerstone are carved with exquisite designs. In the hall are preserved horizontal boards inscribed by emperor in ancient time.
Ok! Is everyone here? 1, 2, 3… Ok, now, let’s go to see the Phoenix Pine, in Minyuan Scenic Area. Phoenix Pine is over 1400 years old, and is one of the four decorative trees in Anhui Province.
After seeing Phoenix Pine, we’ll finish our travel, and on behalf of my company, my Chinese colleagues and myself, I’d like to take this opportunity to express my thanks for your consideration, understanding, tolerance and cooperation.
Ladies and gentlemen
On this day, we will visit Huashan Mountain, which is known as "stone forlotus and cloud for platform". Huashan, also known as Taihua mountain, islocated in the south of Huayin City, 120 kilometers east of Xi'an city.
Huashan Mountain, known as Xiyue in ancient times, is one of the fivemountains in China. It is named Huashan Mountain because its peaks are naturallyarranged like flowers. In December 1992, Huishan was rated as one of the top 40scenic spots in China. Even friends who have never been to Huashan will learnabout the situation of Huashan from some funny myths and anecdotes, such as "aroad to Huashan since ancient times", "fairy palm of Huayue", "aloes splittingmountain to save mother", "Huashan discussing sword", and modern wisdom tocapture Huashan. These Beautiful myths and stories reflect people's yearning andworship for Huashan since ancient times.
South China mountain overlooks the Yellow River in the north and QinlingMountains in the south. It is known as "Huashan ruli". The whole mountain hassimple lines, such as knife cutting and axe splitting. The unique peaks areabrupt and majestic. It is known as "the most dangerous mountain in theworld".
When it comes to strangeness, it is made up of a huge and complete piece ofgranite. The ancients said, "it's not strange that there are no stones in themountain, it's not strange that there are no pure stones." "Huashan is cut intofour directions, its width is ten li, its height is five thousand Ren, one stoneis also called" Daqi ". Huashan has five main peaks, among which the East, Westand South peaks are the highest, and the three peaks stand in opposition,"flying out of the clouds and falling into the Yellow River", known as "threepeaks outside the sky". When it comes to danger, the "Changkong plank road"erected in the air, the "Quanzhen rock" engraved on the overhanging rock, the"Yaozi turning over" with three sides of the air, the "Yaozi turning over" withconvex top and concave bottom, and the "qianchitong", "baichixia", "Laojunfurrow", "chaerya" and "canglongling" dug on the overhanging rock of the cliffare all extremely dangerous. "Huashan has been a road since ancient times.".There is only a north-south line of roads in the mountains, about 10 kilometerslong, winding and rugged. In many places, it can be said that "one man is incharge of the pass, ten thousand men are not allowed to open.".
Huashan not only has magnificent natural landscape, but also has richhistorical and cultural accumulation, and cultural landscape is everywhere.Along the way up and down the mountain and along the Valley Road, inscriptions,poems and stone carvings will make people linger.
My friends, what we are here now is yuquanyuan. It is said that because thespring water there is connected with the jade well on the top of the mountain,the water quality is pure and sweet, so it is called "yuquanyuan". It is theonly way to climb Mount Hua. It is said that it was built by Chen Tuan, ahermit. In the courtyard, the pavilions and corridors are zigzag, and thesprings are murmuring. It is a tourist attraction. Yuquan temple, together withthe Dongdao temple and Zhenyue palace that we will see later, are places forTaoist activities. Now there are 53 temples. Most of the buildings in thecourtyard were rebuilt in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty.
Dear friends, we are now at the foot of Beifeng, one of the five peaks. Itis about 10 kilometers away from the mouth of Huashan Valley, which is thesource of water flow in Huashan valley. Please follow the direction of my fingerto see the trees. Maybe many people will know it. Yes, it's the coca tree.There, the green trees float here, so it is called "qingkeping".
From qingkeping to huixinshi. The climbing road turns from a flat stoneroad to a narrow stone ladder cut on the cliff. Seeing the mountain roadcircling up, many tourists with weak will will turn their minds to look at themountain and sigh and come back in vain.
Friends, we have reached the north peak now. After the previous threepasses, I think you have a necessary understanding of Huashan insurance. Thenorth peak is named Yuntai peak, 1550 meters above sea level, where themountains are towering, hanging on three sides, majestic and unique, just like acloud, so it is named because it is just like a Yuntai. Its height is thelowest, but it has a very important geographical location. It is the pivot ofthe four peaks. The pavilion in front of us is called "military soul Pavilion",the name of which comes from the feature film "outwit Huashan".
Now we come to Zhongfeng. Zhongfeng is also called Yunv peak. It is saidthat in the spring and Autumn period, Xiao Shi, a hermit in Huashan, was good atplaying the flute. The beautiful sound of the flute won the admiration ofNongyu, the youngest daughter of Duke mu of Qin. She put down her luxurious andcomfortable life in the palace and lived in seclusion with Xiao Shi. Many yearslater, they became immortals and went away by the Phoenix. Many scenic spots onthe mountain also got their names. There are jade girl shampoo basin, sacrificetree, etc. Because of this beautiful love story, Huashan is endowed with someromance and gentleness after it is broad, solemn and deep.
After Zhongfeng, I will accompany you to Dongfeng.
Dongfeng, also known as Chaoyang peak, has a Chaoyang terrace at the top,which is the best place to watch the sunrise. Mountains are not high, butimmortals are famous. Huashan is said to be a place where many immortals live.Taoist fairyland. It is said that Zhao Kuangyin, the song Taizu, and Chen Tuan,the Huashan hermit, are in a lonely peak, where they play chess. Chen Tuan, alsoknown as Mr. Xiyi, was a virtuous man. After discussion, they decided to bet onHuashan. As a result, he lost to Chen Tuan. According to the pre-determinedconditions, Huashan became the Taoist's Taoist center and would receive foodforever. On the East Cliff of Dongfeng, there is a natural pattern. You see, isit like a giant palm? This giant palm is more than 20 feet long. Its fivefingers are uneven, and its middle finger runs straight through the peak. Whenthe sun shines, its five fingers are like hanging on the picture. This is theso-called "Huayue fairy palm" which is the first of the eight scenic spots inGuanzhong. It is said that a long time ago, Huashan Mountain was connected withZhongtiao Mountain, and the right foot ascended to open Zhongtiao Mountain toopen a passage for the Yellow River. What we see now is the fingerprints left bythe fingers of the river god in tuohua mountain.
Nanfeng, also known as Luoyan peak, is the highest peak of HuashanMountain, with an altitude of 2160 meters. It is like a fairyland when you comethere. As the ancient poem says, "only the sky is above, and there is nomountain with Qi. When you look up, the red sun is near, and when you look down,the white clouds are low.". There are pine forests all around, mixed withcypresses, meandering for several miles, dense shade closed. At the moment, whatwe see in front of our eyes is the fourth danger "long empty stack fatigue".Changkong plank road is one of the most dangerous places in Huashan. Without thecourage and determination of others, I dare not travel. There is "taishangquan"at the top of the peak. The water in the pool is green and clear, which isinexhaustible all the year round. It is commonly known as "yangtianchi". Thereare many inscriptions on the cliff, most of which are inscribed by poets of Mingand Qing Dynasties and modern times. "Hua Shan Lun Jian" described in themartial arts novel biography of archery heroes probably happened in Nanfeng.
We are now coming to the essence of Huashan. Xifeng, also known as Lianhuapeak, gets its name from the big stone on the right side in front of Cuiyuntemple on the top of the peak. It looks like a lotus. The peak is extremelysteep, like a sword cutting, standing on a cliff. At the top of the peak is the"star picking platform". When you look down from the platform, you can see thevast Qinchuan River, the blue sky, the Wei and Luo rivers, and the Yellow River.Li Baiguan, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote a beautiful poem after thisscene: "the west mountain is magnificent, and the Yellow River is like silk inthe sky.".
The huge stone we see at the moment is called "axe cleaving stone". Thestone body has a 0. There is a 66 meter wide crack. There is also a touchinglegend about this crack. The Virgin Mary, the youngest daughter of the JadeEmperor, fell in love with jindanxi, who was beaten down by the Jade Emperor,and married. Yang Jian, the God of Erlang, cursed his sister, the third VirginMary, for marrying a mortal, which violated the rule of heaven. So she put thethird Virgin Mary under the huge stone at the top of the West peak of HuashanMountain. Later, the third virgin gave birth to a son named Chenxiang. WhenChenxiang grew up, she came to Huashan Mountain and defeated Yang Jian. Sherescued her mother from the huge stone on her mother's body, and the wholefamily got together. This is where the myth of "splitting mountains to savemother" took place.
For hundreds of millions of years, the uncanny craftsmanship has created abreathtaking and magnificent natural landscape of Huashan. For thousands ofyears, the praise of scholars has accumulated rich cultural connotation ofHuashan. It can be said that Huashan is closely linked with Huaxia, which is thesymbol of the Chinese nation. From the legends and anecdotes about Huashan, wecan see that it is not only broad, tactful, elegant, deep and serious, but alsohumorous, witty, and even romantic and gentle. Isn't that the portrayal of ourChinese nation?
There, the tour of Huashan is coming to an end. I hope my explanation willleave you a perfect memory!!
Mount Jiuhua is one of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism. It is located in Qingyang County in Anhui province and is famous for its rich landscape and ancient temples.
Many of the mountain’s shrines and temples are dedicated to Ksitigarbha (known in Chinese as Dìzàng, Traditional Chinese: 地藏), who is a bodhisattva and protector of souls in hell according to Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Pious Buddhists often come to this popular attraction in Anhui to climb to Greater Tiantai peak, which is regarded as Jiuhuashan’s most important peak, although it is not the tallest.
History of Jiuhua Mountain
Jiuhu Mountain, known as a Buddhist wonderland and famous for its large number of temples and beautiful scenery, has been a resplendent pearl of Chinese cultural heritage.
Jiuhua Mountain was formed in the late Cenozoic Era, and Buddhism began in the Northern and Southern Dynasties (420-589) at the mountain. According to historical records, a monk named Fuhu built Fuhu Convent in 503; Monk Tanhao practised Buddhism here in 713; During 713-755, Jin Qiaojue, a Korean aristocrat, came to Jiuhua Mountain and lived in a stone cave at Dongya Peak. His hard practice moved the local people, and they contributed money to build a temple for him. In 781 the local official Zhang Yan presented a memorial to the emperor for the horizontal inscribed board "Huacheng". Upon Jin Qiaojue’s nirvana, it was said that the mountain roared, birds and monkeys cried, and the earth gave out fire and light. His body kept lively three years later, so he was respected as the Earth Buddha, wrapped with earth and has been preserved to present. Roushen Pagoda was built to revere him, and thus Jiuhua Mountain has become the place where Earth Buddhist rites are performed.
The history of Buddhism at Jiuhua Mountain can be divided into five periods: founded in the middle of Tang Dynasty ; decayed from the late Tang Dynasty to the Five Dynasties; slowly developed in the Song and Yuan Dynasties; and greatly developed in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. In the Ming Dynasty, the emperors granted money to rebuild Huacheng Temple for three times and two emperors bestowed inscriptions. The number of temples and nunneries was over a hundred, and many monks and nuns came. It was listed as one of the four famous Buddhist mountains, besides Wutai Mountain, Emei Mountain, and Putuo Mountain.
