On Wu Gongshan's Prose

Wugong Mountain is located in the middle and west of Jiangxi Province, belonging to the northern branch of Luo Xiao Mountain, which stretches for 800 miles and is spectacular. There are many historical sites, mysterious legends and rich religious culture here. Among them, alpine meadows, Maolin bamboo, mountain waterfalls, strange rocks, birds and animals are beautiful. Since ancient times, it has been as famous as Lushan Mountain and Hengshan Mountain, and is also known as the famous mountain in the south of the Yangtze River. For a time, the reputation of Wugong Mountain spread far and wide, and worshippers came in an endless stream.

The origin of the magical mountain name

According to Qing? Volume 9 of Jiangxi Tongzhi compiled by Xie Min and others records that Wugong Mountain is located in the west of Anfu County, with its roots spanning more than 800 miles in Jiyuan County and bordering Changsha, with BaiHefeng being the most famous. According to legend, the Wu couple came to Lian, the husband stopped, and the woman stopped in Xichang, hence the name Wu Gongshan, so there is a cloud of Taihe Wu Laoshan. Yin, the mountain god, helped the rebellion in Houjing and changed his name to Wu. Lu Xiaoshan is 220 miles west of Anfu County, and meets Pingxiang boundary in Yuanzhou. At the top of the mountain, Lushui flows eastward to Poyang Lake and Xiaoshui flows southward to Dongting Lake. It's still the building peak of the second man, Yunluxiao, because it's a famous mountain, so it's different. It can be seen that Wugong Mountain is the source of land water and small water, so it was originally named "Lu Xiaoshan" and is famous for its water. In the Jin Dynasty, the husband of the Wushi couple in Sichuan practiced here, so it was renamed "Wugong Mountain", which is a well-known famous mountain. In the Northern and Southern Dynasties, Chen Wudi was renamed "Wugong Mountain" because of the help of mountain gods, which was able to quell the chaos in Beijing. Since then, "Wugong Mountain" has replaced other names and has been famous for a hundred years. Now the people of Lotus and Anfu call themselves "Lu Xiaoren", which should be related to the original name of Wugong Mountain. Historically, Lianhua County has successively belonged to Changsha County, Ancheng County and Luling County. It is located at the end of "Five Heads and Chu Tails" and has the reputation of "Lu Xiao Neo-Confucianism, Blue Clouds Articles". Anfu has a similar situation in history. Anfu Lushui River runs through the whole territory, flows eastward, and finally joins Ganjiang River in Ji 'an County. Therefore, it is no accident that place names and TV program names named after Lu Xiao, such as Lu Xiao Market, Lu Xiao Grand Stage and Lu Xiao Viewpoint, appear in Anfu.

Thick human history

Wugongshan Kowloon Temple is located in the open space in the center of Kowloon Cao Gui, Kowloon Mountain. The old temple covers an area of about 4 mu and is divided into three halls: the front hall, the middle hall and the back hall, with brick walls and iron tiles. It was built by Fu Tuningzhou, a monk of the Yuan Dynasty, and his brother who conquered Mao Kaidi by astronomy. According to legend, there are many monks and nuns here, and the incense is strong, which lasted for more than 300 years and did not decline until the late Qing Dynasty. Later, the temple was destroyed and the monks dispersed, and now only ruins are left. There are eighteen pagodas in the right peak of Jiulong Temple, which are hexagonal, seven-story and granite structure. There are ten ancient pagodas, such as Zhenshan Pagoda, Thousand Buddha Pagoda and Tiantong Pagoda, which can be argued. The rest were damaged in the Ming Dynasty, which is the largest and only ancient pagoda group in Jiangxi. Legend has it that when Qianlong came to visit Wugong Mountain, it was the prosperous period of Jiulong Temple in Wugong Mountain. According to historical records, there are more than 300 monks and 40 houses in the temple, who make a living by planting Sichuan art. When he came to the top of Kowloon to watch, he was surprised to see that nine hills were about to form a dragon, so he made a decree to build a tower (eighteen towers) at the end of each mountain to suppress it. The largest tower in the middle period was called ZhenLong Ta, but now there are only two towers left.

The highest peak of Wugong Mountain is now called "White Crane Peak" or "Jinding". According to legend, Ge Xuan in the Eastern Han Dynasty and Ge Hong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty practiced here, and later they became immortals and drove away with white cranes, so people named this peak "White Crane Peak". Above the Jinding, there are several round stone altars made of granite. The altar is divided into two parts: the front yard and the altar room, which is used by Taoist statues such as Zhang Zhenren, Ge Xuan and Xu Xun. Among them, the most famous stone altars are "Wang Xian Altar" and "Qiu Si Altar" because they are related to our Luling sages. Wang Xiantan, also known as Wang Xiantan. According to Ji 'an County Records, Wang Keshou, the magistrate of Jizhou, was an honest and clean official. Unfortunately, he was demoted in Wugongshan because of "caring for the people", and he was angry and refined. In order to commemorate him, the people specially built an altar in Jinding to worship God, hoping that he would ascend to heaven as soon as possible and bless the people. There is a rock under the altar of Qiu Si Altar. The spring water is clear and continuous all year round. Very amazing. It is said that this is the pool water of Ge Xianlian Dan. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Wen Yi, the father of Luling's literary style, went to Jinding to seek an heir, drank the water from Danchi, and Wen Tianxiang was born. Wen Tianxiang later became a top student in high school and became a prime minister. In order to thank the Jinding gods, he specially donated the bronze tile hall and wrote an inscription for the "Gexian Ancient Altar".

From the ancient altar to the Anfu side, hundreds of meters down, there is a "White Crane View" in sight. This view was built during the Shenlong period of the Tang Dynasty (705). The former site is in the mountain nest behind the hanging horse stake, covered with thatched stone walls, hence the name "Mao 'an", dedicated to two gods, Ge Xian and Wang Ye. In the first year of Gan Tang (758), it was moved to the top of the mountain. After several times of destruction and restoration, the believers who have come to worship so far are in an endless stream, and the incense is flourishing. Another mountain gate, Baihefeng, was built in the 60th year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1722). Although it was rebuilt several times after its creation, it is still spectacular today. The gate is made of huge stone strips, with the words "White Crane Peak" on the lintel, and a pair of couplets inlaid on the stone strips on both sides: "Everything is in sight, and the sun and the moon can brush each other in nine days. "The handwriting is simple and solemn, and the pen is vigorous and powerful. It was written by Mr. Liu Cunyi of Pingyi.

There are many historical sites in Anfu, Wugong Mountain. There are Taoist temples in Tu Ping, such as Kannonji, Guangji Palace, Taiji Palace, Jiyun Temple, Jade Emperor Hall, etc. There are Santianmen and Jifeng on the mountainside. No wonder, people are full of reverence for Wugong Mountain, which is a blessed mountain and holy land in their hearts.

Beautiful natural scenery

The scenic Wugong Mountain is intoxicating. Xu Xiake, a geographer, writer and traveler in Amin's era, made a great wish when he was a teenager that "a gentleman walks in the sea and a villain walks in the sky". He was attracted by the natural scenery of Wugong Mountain. He traveled here for ten days and wrote more than 6,900 words of travel notes, which were included in Xu Xiake's travel notes by later generations. In You Jiang's travels. It is said that when Xu Xiake visited Wugong Mountain, the beautiful scenery in front of him made him happy to recite poems and compose poems, so he wrote one of the seven wonders: "Thousand peaks are craggy and jade, five mountains are comparable to Wugong Mountain. Watching the sun is like alchemy, and tourists stroll through the colorful clouds, showing the charm of Wugong Mountain.

The beauty of Jinding lies in alpine meadow. In Xia Zhishi in spring, the Jinding of Wugong Mountain is full of green grass and green everywhere. Being in it is like the Inner Mongolia prairie, especially when there is a caravan climbing the mountain, this feeling is deeper. In May, the annual Tent Festival will be held here. Colorful tents, like many flowers blooming in the mountains, are very spectacular. There are many clouds on the top of the mountain, such as silk, drifting, just like the hazy smoke when the goddess came down to earth, which is amazing. Mr. Zeng, vice chairman of Ji 'an Federation of Literary and Art Circles and chairman of the Municipal Writers Association, came here to collect folk songs. Facing the ten thousand mu alpine meadow in the fog, he was amazed and happily wrote the American article "Walking on the Grassland in the Clouds". In autumn and winter, white catkins and frozen peaks stand on nearby peaks, overlooking Jinding, and white cranes stand upright, hence the name "White Crane Peak", which is another explanation of the name "White Crane Peak". Is this statement more poetic?

The beauty of Jifeng lies in the mountains and streams. Jigongyan, like a cock with feathers hanging down, is lifelike. "Wulizheng", what an elegant title, is actually a stream winding down from Jifeng. The river is clear and crisp, just like a fairy playing A Zheng, crisp and sweet. "taohuajiang" flows leisurely under the "Blessing Bridge", surrounded by bamboo forests on both sides, which is beautiful. The most wonderful thing is the "April Day on Earth", where flowers are in full bloom at the foot of the mountain and azaleas are in full bloom all over the mountains.

The beauty of the scenery enjoyed by sheep and lions lies in the strange peaks and rocks. Tian Zifeng, like stalagmites, stands high in mid-air and is breathtaking. Tathagata's palm is pulled up in the air, standing under the roadside with clear fingers; A group of stones is like a golden rooster returning to its nest, with its head facing Ankang and its tail facing Pingxiang, crawling in the valley, full of interest; That kind of virtue stone is tall and straight in outer space, proudly towering and empty; The two stone peaks of husband and wife are closely related, interpreting the deep affection of the couple; Crouching Tiger Stone Statue A tiger crouches here to protect one side. Fairy talks, boy worships Guanyin, Guan Gong faces the wall and other scenic spots. , are lifelike, lifelike. Walking on the sidewalk, witnessing this strange peak and rock, I can't help but sigh the wonders and wonders of nature. When the mountain wind rises, clouds rise. The cloud rises slowly from the foot of the mountain, like a flock of sheep rushing and sweeping. In a short time, the strange peaks and rocks in front of us seemed to be wrapped by immortals and turned into nothingness. In its depths, it is like a dream, exciting.

The beauty of Wugong Gorge lies in waterfalls and streams. A "bison river" is full of rocks, flying flowers and jade, as well as the shape of a snake. There are waterfalls on both sides, the peaks are towering and the fog is transpiration, just like a fairyland.

Wugong Mountain is a magical mountain. It is old, it is wise, it is beautiful, it is young. Ancient is its history; Wisdom is its connotation; Beauty is its mountains and rivers; Youth is its vitality. Nowadays, hot spring villas have been built at the foot of the mountain, ropeways have been built on the mountainside, and the top of the mountain is being developed in an orderly manner. I believe that the future of Wugong Mountain will be even better. It will surely become a bright pearl in the land of central Jiangxi.
