Ye Fu and the famous temples in the two dynasties.

Ye Fu is a national forest park, a provincial scenic spot and a nature reserve, with a distance of 10 km from Lujiang County. History: During the Spring and Autumn Period, Ou Yezi, a Vietnamese, was good at casting swords. He once made five swords for the King of Yue: Zhan Lu, Giant Sparrow, Conquering Evil, Fish Sausage and Pure Hook. He also made three swords for the King of Chu, namely Longyuan Sword, Taiya Sword and Kampot Sword. Ye Fu was once the "smelting place" for Ou Yezi to cast swords. Today, there are still relics of the sword pool on Oufeng, so this mountain has been called Yeshan since the Tang Dynasty. Because the mountain peak is great, it is the respect of the surrounding mountains, so it is called "father" Ye Fu is named after Mount Ye Fu, where Mount Ye Fu becomes one.

Mount Ye Fu is magnificent and has beautiful scenery. The most spectacular ones are the lake view, the blue of Ye Fu, the sound of the wind in the tiger's den, the pine trees with a hundred feet, the reflection of the moon in Longchi, the soaring rate, the clear drums and thunder, and the rain in the spring.

There are many famous mountains and monks in the world. The beautiful Ye Fu Mountain is also famous for its 2,000-year-old temples sealed by emperors of two dynasties.

Khufu Temple is located at the top of Ye Fu and is famous for its master Khufu. Zen master, common name Li, was born in a peasant family in Huangtun, Lujiang. He was born blind and his parents lived in poverty. In desperation, he was thrown into the Guangming Mountain Grottoes near Huangtun. A tigress held him in her arms, and Tiger Claw dug up the spring water to wash his eyes and see the light again. When he grew up, he became a monk on the mountain, and the tiger was inseparable from him. He sometimes goes to town to preach and preach, so he ties the tiger seven and a half miles southeast of the city for fear of scaring people. The locals call this place "Tiehu Wharf". When the news reached Ye Chang 'an, Tang Zhaozong named him "Master of Filial Piety and Khufu", and even the temple where he lived was named "Maozhai Temple in the Cloud". Yang Xingmi, King of Wu in Lujiang, moved to Guanghua Temple and asked Master Khufu to be the abbot. The Zen master thought the city was too noisy, and soon he moved to Ye Fu.

In the first year of Guanghua in Tang Zhaozong (898), the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty built the Khufu Temple on Mount Ye Fu. The main hall of Khufu Temple is the Infinite Hall, which is all made up of silicon arches, so it is also called the Beam-less Hall. There are three golden statues in the hall, such as the founder of Zhenwu. According to legend, whenever summer comes, Raytheon washes the temple to sweep drugs, and every time monks watch the fog rise, they can predict Raytheon's arrival, which is not found in other famous mountains. From 65438 to 0984, Khufu Temple was designated as a provincial key cultural relics protection unit by Anhui Provincial People's Government. At that time, the founder of this mountain, Zen Master Xiao Ci Khufu, built Khufu Temple at the top of the mountain, and then Ye Fu Temple at the foot of the mountain. It is reported that Khufu, a Buddhist monk, chose to set up a Puni altar at the southern foot of the mountain to preach scriptures, and more than a thousand monks were ordained. When eating porridge, he ordered "copper car porridge". On the day of Taoism, the copper pot where the monk cooked porridge suddenly flew away. The Zen master prayed to heaven: "If there is a revival day behind this temple, you can make three rounds in the air." So the copper pot roared like thunder, flew three times around the mountain and landed at the foot of the lonely mountain in Chaohu Lake. Since then, the abbot Ye Fushan, the Zen master of Xinglang, was crossing Chaohu Lake in the ninth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1652), and suddenly he saw a copper pot coming out of the water to meet the boat and sinking in the water for a long time, which was a wonder of Buddhism.

The temple of Ye Fu was resurrected. When Zhao Kuangyin, Song Taizu was rebuilt in the Song Dynasty, it was inscribed "True Temple of Zen" and built the Hall of Great Heroes. Ye Fu Temple was renamed Shih Temple. During the reign of King You of Song Renzong, he moved to the foot of Shandong and built a magnificent temple. At its peak, more than 1000 monks were appointed as clergy. At present, there are two ancient wells around Daxiong Hall, named Binocular Spring. According to legend, this place looks like a lion, and the spring is a lion's eye, so it can't be irrigated. Once filled, monks will suffer from diseases. There is a spring at the back of the yard, a famous pot spring, which can draw water with only one pot, also called pot spring. Spring water is inexhaustible, clear and sweet, and it is most suitable for making tea. Another kind of spring water is used to wash eyes, which can improve eyesight. In fact, there is a pool in front of the temple, with a few acres of surface and clear water at the bottom. It is said that tens of thousands of workers were used to dig the pool, so it was named "Wangong Pool". In fact, there is a bridge on the temple, surrounded by green trees and bamboos, and the stream under the bridge is tinkling. At that time, Zen master Han Song traveled here and saw Qingxi crossing the bridge several times among the green trees and grass, so he named it "Zhuan Cui", which is still in use today. Turning to the left hillside of Cuiqiao, there are 100 acres of bamboo forests, which are slim and graceful and have pleasant scenery.

There is a body temple in front of the Temple of Khufu, which enshrines the body of Master Miaoshan who painted gold. Master Miao Shan was born in 1923 and became a monk in 1936. He studied in Yefushan Zhensi under Lin Wa and sent Zhi Zhi as a master. 199 1 At the end of the year, Master Miao Shan passed away and was buried at the top of Ye Fu according to Buddhist custom. After the abbot of Khufu Temple released the city, he decided to lift Miaoshan from the jar to build the tower as a memorial. After opening the jar, he saw that the monk Miao Shan, who had been dead for four years, was still sitting cross-legged in the jar, his body was not rotted, his hair roots were blue, his forehead was full, his eyelids were raised, his nose was vertical, his nose was intact, his lips were closed, his joints were intact, and his face and body were white and clean, just like before he died. It is reported that the body of monk Miao Shan is the third body of Shuangxi Temple in Jiuhuashan after the bodies of Daxing monk and Zhong Ting Ci Ming monk, so the temple was built for sacrifice. In 200 1 year, the body of Master Guoan reappeared, and now it has been enshrined in the actual Zen temple with gold. There are two bodies on a mountain, which is really rare. It is also the result of Buddhist practice, and the merits are complete.

Ye Fu is also a famous cultural mountain. Scholars of all ages have left many poems here to enjoy the scenery. It can be said that there are poems in the landscape and all over the mountain, which is enough to compile a collection of poems. In addition, there are many famous couplets, among which Song Songnan's couplets, melting mountains and temples, scenery and Buddha, can highlight the ethereal spirit of Ye Fu. Lian Yue:
