Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to visit Longhu Mountain in JiangxiProvince
Longhushan scenic spot is located 20 kilometers southwest of Yingtan City.It is the birthplace of Taoism and was rated as a national 4A scenic spot in1988. The panoramic area covers more than 200 square kilometers. Its originalname was Yunjin mountain, and it was later renamed Longhu Mountain because thefirst generation of Heavenly Master Zhang Daoling refined the "nine heaven GodDan" at the foot of Yunjin mountain, and the dragon and tiger appeared.
China is a multi religious country, mainly including Taoism, Buddhism,Islam and Christianity. Among these religions, only Taoism is a native religionin China. It has a long history. Five thousand years ago, Taoism appeared inChina. The first emperor Xuanyuan asked Yu guangchengzi in Suzhou Kongtongmountain. Guangchengzi lived in Kongtong mountain and taught the Yellow Emperorthe Sutra of nature, which was the beginning of Taoism. In the later period ofthe Eastern Han Dynasty, two groups, waiwei and eunuch, were gradually formed inpolitics. In order to survive and extricate themselves, they had to resort toghosts and gods. When the rulers saw that their faith in the ruling place wasabout to fall, they had to use superstition to punish them, which createdconditions for the formation of Taoism in the late Han Dynasty.
Zhang Daoling founded zhengyidao in such an environment. At that time, allthose who entered the Tao had to pay five doumi as the cost of entering the Tao,so it was also called wudoumi Dao. Zhang Ling was born in Tianmu Mountain,Zhejiang Province, in the 34th year of Emperor Guangwu's founding of the EasternHan Dynasty. When he was 7 years old, he read Tao Te Ching more than ten timesand understood its significance. He could understand the mysteries of astronomy,geography, river map, Luoshu and Chenwei. At the age of 26, he served as countymagistrate of Jiangzhou (Chongqing, Sichuan) for the second time. Later, heresigned and retired to beimangshan (Luoyang, Henan) for three years. Later,Chao Yanzheng became a doctor, and he could not afford to be ill. In the firstyear of Yongyuan () of emperor he of Han Dynasty, Emperor he heard that he wasa man of virtue. He took Sanpin yinshou, Sicha and other levies as Taibo. Later,he was granted the "three imperial edicts" in Jixian County. 】When he was 57years old, he took his disciple Wang Chang from Huaihe River to Poyang, JiangxiProvince, ascended Yuzi peak in Leping, and went back to Xinjiang River toYunjin mountain in Guixi county to refine the "nine heavenly elixir". After thecompletion of Dan, he got the secret text of Shenhu in Pilu cave of xipeiyuan.During the reign of Emperor Shun, Zhang Ling was more than 90 years old. When heheard that the generation of Bashu in Sichuan was engaged in warm labor, hebrought his disciples to Sichuan. After entering Sichuan, Zhang Ling lived inHeming mountain (also known as Huming mountain, in Chongqing county of SichuanProvince), continued to accept disciples to set up religion, and establishedTaoist grass-roots organizations.
Everyone says that there are three unique features in dragon and tigermountain, one of which is: entering the Taoist capital immortal mansion andtracing back to the origin of Taoism. The so-called daoduxian mansion is theHeavenly Master mansion of the Qing Dynasty we are going to. At the peak ofTaoism in Longhu Mountain, there were 10 Taoist temples, 81 Taoist temples and50 Taoist temples in Shangqing town. Three of them are most famous. The firstone is Shangqing palace. I believe we all know that the 108 generals of Shuihucame from Zhenyao well of Shangqing palace. Shangqing palace is located in theeast of Shangqing ancient town, about two miles away from Tianshi palace. It isa grand palace. It is not only the highest Taoist temple in Jiangnan, but alsothe best in the country. It is not only the main place for religious activities,but also langyuan, which is a place of cultivating the nature. It's the officeof the Heavenly Master. When it was the largest, it had two palaces, twelvepalaces and twenty-four courtyards. But the most unfortunate thing is that thismagnificent building was burned down by a big fire in 1930 when several beggarswere burning under the long frame. Originally, some Taoists at home and abroadwanted to raise money to rebuild the Shangqing palace, but our Yingxia railwayline was running through it, so it could not be repaired at all. So now we canonly see the magnificence of the Shangqing palace from the sand table map of theShangqing palace preserved in Tianshi mansion.
The other building is ZHENGYIGUAN, which is the place where the ancientheavenly masters received their apprentices. Generally speaking, it is theHeavenly Master's school.
Located in the middle of Shangqing ancient town, Tianshi mansion was builtat the gate of Shangqing town in Song Dynasty. Yuan Yan six years (1319) movedto the Qing Dynasty changqingli, is now the Tianshi house. It is the place wherethe Heavenly Master lived and ate, and it can also be said that it is the homeof the Heavenly Master. Tianshi palace is one of the 21 key open palaces inChina.
The two wonders of Longhu Mountain are "Danshan and Bishui". Danshanmountain with clear water refers to the 99 peaks and 24 rocks of LonghuMountain. They belong to Danxia landform. Most of them are not high, rangingfrom 50 meters to 200 meters, and the highest is only over 800 meters. Theserocks were formed from the late Cretaceous about 120 million years ago to thetertiary about 80 million years ago. At that time, it used to be a vast ocean.Due to the continuous sinking of red sand and gravel, and the intersection ofmud shale and cobble on the seabed, it formed akashiite swarms of differentsizes. After the formation of the hematite, orogenic movement, i.e. Himalayanmovement, took place. The later quaternary neotectonic movement made the faultblock rise and fall vertically. Due to the development of rock fracture, thestrength of weathering resistance is different for different rock layers. It hasbeen eroded by surface water for a long time. Under the strong comprehensiveaction of differential weathering and gravity collapse, today's canyons andcliffs are formed. The water in Danshan blue water refers to Luxi River, knownas "little Lijiang River". The beautiful and graceful Luxi river originates inGuangze County of Fujian Province, flows into Xinjiang River through LonghuMountain, and finally flows into Panyang lake. The total length is 286 km. Itlinks the scenic spots of the whole Mount Longhu from south to north, and todaywe take about ten miles of boat rafts. It is the best tourist attraction ofMount Longhu. Many tourists say that it is not an exaggeration to visit Luxiriver without visiting the Luxi river. Actually, this is not exaggerated. TheLijiang River is not Lijiang but it is better than the Lijiang River. It isfamous for its clear water and beautiful scenery. While looking at the beautifulscenery on both sides of the Strait, listening to the moving legend, sitting ona small bamboo raft, this kind of step-by-step painting feeling is really veryromantic.
