Youbaofeng Mountain (Temple)

202165438+February 4th, the first day of the winter lunar month. The sky is clear, sunny and foggy. Why don't we go to Baofeng Temple? Beishandeng didn't arrive on the third day of the first month? After breakfast at home, bring relevant equipment and tools and leave when you say so.

/kloc-around 0/2 o'clock, after three stops and two turns, I finally came to two farmers at the foot of Taibai Mountain in Jiaojiapo, Caocun and stopped in front of them. Two old people were sitting in the sun and chatting at home. The old man's uncle said it was their son's home. This should be the dividing line between Jiaojiapo Village and Zhoujiapo Village.

Uncle Lao Han asked me, "Why?"

I replied with a smile. I don't want to cross my legs on weekends. I'm bored sitting in my office. Can I climb the mountain from you to see Baofeng Temple?

"ah? This mountain has nothing to climb! Steep! The barren hills are gone, and no one has climbed them for many years. Have you ever been to the White Temple? You and me, you take me to the White Temple, eat delicious food in the White Temple and come back. " The old man's uncle is hard of hearing, and his pronunciation is not accurate, so he seems a little wordy in loneliness. His wife is smart and has a unique vision. It is good to "translate" or relay it to us from time to time.

"I want to go to Baofeng Temple and drive up the mountain from the quarry."

No, I just want to exercise. Is it on the west side of your son's house?

"hmm."

Thank you. I'm leaving. In fact, there is a mountain road about 0/00 meters east of his home, which is very easy to walk. I found it when I went down the mountain.

Just turning the house uphill, I saw persimmons hanging on the shelves of color steel sheds on both sides of the road, and everyone on the shelves was preparing to frost the persimmons.

The sweetness of harvest hangs over the scaffolding. Every year, from the first frost to the foot of Beishan Mountain in Fuping County, from Lizhuang to Zhaidian Town, under the color steel shed, strings of "red lanterns" are hung, which are of great ornamental and photo value.

A closer look shows that some hanging persimmons have oozed frost. The so-called frost is the product of fructose oozing and crystallizing after persimmon peeling, which condenses into sugar particles at low temperature. There has been a lot of rain this year, persimmons have failed to harvest, and crops have failed to harvest, which is often called a small year.

I want to eat more than one? "This year is expensive, you have to get 5 yuan." I tasted a good one, the cream was good and the taste was good. I want to transfer money to the old man who picked persimmons on the ground, and the hostess is busy shouting "Send it to my mobile phone!" "This scene made them both laugh. I teased and teased and transferred money to my family. Asked up the hill.

The foothills are plateau paths. Take a walk and have a look. The smaller one in the field is the pepper tree, the bigger one is the persimmon tree, and the dark and lonely tree is the ancient apricot tree.

It seems that it only takes three to five years for farmers here to change to trees. Because apricot ripening time is concentrated, it can't sell the price; In recent years, the price of persimmons has been rising all the way, and the price of peppers has become more and more expensive. Both can be properly preserved for one year. It seems that the leverage of market economy is everywhere!

Across a piece of land, there is a wider road to the east, running all the way to the highest ridge, passing through the newly planted cypress forest, and the wild paths on the barren hills are becoming more and more difficult to find. I can only walk around while observing myself, often entering a desperate situation and struggling to climb over the thorny and dangerous cliff. Life is not like this!

At about 13: 30, I boarded an open and flat platform halfway up Taibai Mountain. Looking around, Beishan is "devastated" and heartbreaking.

Looking back, I don't know the way.

14 o'clock, walk on the "mountain road" on the right side of Taibai Mountain. Walking through the mountain pass between Taibai Mountain and Baofeng Mountain is the main road to and from. The thorny road tells me silently: the cruelty of human beings. So far, there has been plenty of rain this year. The weeds on the mountain were tall and dense, and the waist-deep hay covered the wild road so tightly that we couldn't find any trace, so we had to rush in.

14: 43 Arrive at the destination-before Baofeng Temple at the top of Baofeng Mountain. This temple was built at the southern foot of Baofeng Mountain. Robinia pseudoacacia forests are everywhere on the top of the mountain. Where there are no trees, weeds are overgrown and grass is waist-high. There seems to be no shortage of water here.

The two stone pillars at the gate seemed to be erected again, and the plaque of "Baofeng Temple" was covered with bronze black background and hung with iron sheets. The limestone double-layer courtyard wall made of local materials collapsed seriously, but there was still a bottom more than one person high, littered with ruins and stones, which made people feel sad about the remains of the temple. Through the temple yard, there is a double-hole stone kiln in the northeast corner of the yard.

There is a written paper on the kiln door, telling the newcomers not to touch the temple property, or they will be punished by Buddhism. The inscription was written by Shi Zhongde, a monk in the temple, and by Dongmen. There are kitchen knives, buckets and chopping boards in front of the kiln. There is a shack in the southwest corner in front of the kiln, only one person tall, like a kitchen.

This ancient temple has three stone carvings and brick carvings. I carefully studied three works and reflected on the glorious past of Baofeng Temple.

There are a large number of stone tablets scattered around Baofeng Temple, including the Baofeng Temple tablet erected in the fourth year of Jin Mingchang (1 193), the rebuilt Baofeng Temple tablet erected in the fifth year of Ming Jiajing (1526) and the twelfth year of Qing Shunzhi (1655). Things are two different things, there are rules to follow and rules to be abolished. If you and I were not alone, we would shake our heads with a wry smile and fold them up.

After turning to the kiln, the view is extremely broad: in the severe smog, there is a boundary between heaven and earth, with blue on the top and blue on the bottom.

In the southeast, Jinweng Mountain, Shandian Temple, Hutou Mountain and Taibai Mountain are clearly visible; Cement plant and Shangshu Reservoir are faintly visible; Laojunling Mountain in the south and Xiwangyuedong Mountain in the west are covered by small forests.

Overlooking the temple, you can have a panoramic view. How do you feel:

Heaven and earth are upright, in many ways.

Clarity and chaos, trying to distinguish but forgetting to say.

According to the article "Talking about Baofeng Temple" written by Ma Shaojie, a predecessor of Caocun Town, Baofeng Temple is located at the top of Yueku Mountain, built on a stone platform, with a front hall, a back hall, a north hall, a incense-burning pavilion, left and right cloisters and 30 rooms. There are a large number of stone tablets and square towers in the north, and there is a courtyard and theater of about two acres in the middle.

In the past, on the temple fair day on June 19th of the lunar calendar, good men and women from far and near would come here to burn incense and worship Buddha and pray for peace. Folk shadow play and self-help classes would also be staged in your place, with firecrackers ringing, gongs and drums ringing, and it was very lively. In front of the temple, there used to be a quaint stone archway and two ancient pagodas that have grown for many years. The hillside in the right-hand ravine is watered by old spring water, and crops such as wheat, corn, millet and potatoes are planted to support the monks in the temple. There are cypress, elm, apricot and old persimmon trees in the temple. The sun covers the sky, cigarettes curl up and the valley is beautiful. On the gable of the East Gallery of Baofeng Temple Hall, there is a long poem "Jinping Scenery" inscribed by Lingqiao of Fuping County in Qing Dynasty, which contains the main beautiful scenery and anecdotes around Baofeng Temple. Poetry cloud:

The scenery of Baofeng in mid-June is different at four o'clock.

Strange flowers and grass stand in the way, birds are flying and butterflies are flying all over the sky.

The Phoenix Tower soars into the sky, and the spirit is like a mirror to force the moon to shine.

Looking east at Laojunling, Pantuo Qingniu lies on the horizon.

West refers to the dragon's saliva on the bridge, and the drops keep ringing.

The southern lotus blooms obviously, and the northern golden pheasant is still ringing.

The sound of books in the cave has a long history. In the Tang Dynasty, the road was paved with precious stones.

There are still traces of Cooper in the stone, and the Yuquan water in Wulong is clarified.

The dragon plays with the phoenix in front of the Phoenix Mountain, and the tiger hugs the dragon under the Tiesuoling Mountain.

The beetle looked up at the jade belt, and Shi Xian argued with a smile.

If there is a pool of water in front of the mountain, it will be as long as Lushan Mountain.

The ancients seemed to know how to pinch and calculate, but they didn't expect that there would be a flowing East Main Canal and a rippling Shangshu Reservoir in the Weibei Drought in front of Baofeng Temple, which was not simple.

Buddhism is pure and cannot be completely isolated from the world. It can also be dangerous and hidden. In the early years of the Republic of China, social unrest and bandits were rampant. Jiao Yanfang, a native of Yao County, gathered in Baofeng Temple to take the mountain as the king, and robbed nearby villages and towns such as Cao Cun, Bai Miao and Lei Cun, killing people and robbing food at the expense of others. In April of the third year of the Republic of China (19 14), this bandit was encircled by the militia in one fell swoop, which was also a karma.

Xiayao goes westbound along the north road, along the edge of the ravine on the west side of the courtyard wall, there is a simple manually renovated sidewalk. More than 200 meters northbound, there is a clear spring pool of one to three meters by two meters.

There is a hard card hanging on the jujube tree by the pool, which reads "Drinking water in the temple, please don't enter". Looking for the sound, I turned and looked across the ravine. Mount Moon Cave has disappeared, but today it is lower than the hill in the east 100 meters. It turns out that the hill hundreds of meters higher than it has become a platform of more than 10 thousand square meters. Several rut marks on the platform can be clearly distinguished, but the sounds of drilling and hammering stones are endless, loaders rumbling and roaring, heavy-duty loading vehicles shuttling, and a busy scene of mass production.

Faced with this situation, I can only say: "Success is also Xiao He, and failure is also Xiao He!"

Further on, it should be a mountain road leading to Lucheng Village, Baimiao Township, Aoli, northern Shaanxi. Once we went to Lucheng Village, as soon as we crossed the mountain ridge and entered the ditch, we were surprised to see that the ditch was full of tall and stout trees. One of the sources of Yang Shun flows out of Honghe Village in Beishankou from the ditch here and flows into the main river originating in Zhaolaoyu. There are also several springs, which are used by local people as water sources for domestic water. The unique geographical location makes crops such as peppers and walnuts here become pollution-free products. There is a stone cypress scenic spot: there is a natural boulder on the river with a thick and tall Cooper on it.

It's really a local scene. The folk customs here feel simple, natural and harmonious, just like a paradise. We followed the villagers' instructions to see a spring well by the river behind the village. When we passed the door of the villagers' house, we saw that they planted a lot of gratifying wormwood in the gully. After the return trip, the hostess went back to the house and took out her scissors, so we had to dig some and take them away. Oh, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming!

In winter, plants are yellow and cold. Jinping is a golden dragon, and people should protect it forever. Who said with infinite emotion! ? Then he turned back to the south and sat on the stone in front of the mountain to eat and drink.

Face the ruins again, pick up Baofeng Temple's words and have a good aftertaste: the legend of Baofeng Temple

The crowning of Jinping in Baofeng Scenic Area, the Millennium view of Zen Temple.

Yi took the bow, the bird fell, and Chang 'e flew to the jade plate.

The female book in the cave middle school rang, and the stone fairy beside the ditch called his brother.

Where can I find the clever golden toad? Green cattle eat grass and drink mountain breeze.

Xiashanao looked for the mountain road in the direction of Zhoujiapo along the north side of the mountain, but arrived in Lao Quan.

See the stone houses in the ravine-"guanyin temple", and search the geographical location to mark the old spring.

There are a few wild jujubes on the roadside, overgrown with weeds, and eggplant is hung at the door of the stone house.

Standing in front of guanyin temple, after observation, I found that a mountain road going to Zhoujiapo on the left has been dug by a quarry, and turning right will join the road in Chenglu Village. Then return to the south along the east side of Bao Xiao, walk along the cliff edge of the quarry to the south of the giant white water tank placed in the quarry, and come to the cliff edge of Laojun Lingnan, where waist-high green cattle are everywhere. Legend has it that there is a natural bluestone cow on the Laojunling, hundreds of meters south of Baofeng Temple, lying on his back with his legs crossed and his eyes vivid. According to legend, Lao Tzu rode Niuxi to Hanguguan to give lectures here, attracting five phoenixes to dance on the cliffs in the south every day. In memory of Laozi, people call Nanfeng (Laojunling) Phoenix Peak, and the five houses built on it are called "Phoenix Building", commonly known as "Fifth Floor". Built on a cliff, semi-suspended in the air, fixed by chains and connected by plank roads, it has the artistic conception of Huashan natural barrier, and timid people dare not enter.

Whether Lao Zi has been to Jinping and Baofeng Temple is not recorded or proved in history. However, Jia Dao, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, came and left a poem "The sunset is cold and the clothes are old for many years"; Gu, a great thinker in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, did come and wrote a poem called "Louguan". The poem says:

It is quite profound that the West wants Hu Change.

Without green cattle and autumn grass, I wander alone in the sunset.

The immortal loves this place alone, and perhaps there is a magical charm that the wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley. But outstanding people, profound cultural heritage and simple folk customs are probably the real reasons for attracting hermits from all walks of life.

It turns out that the five-building statue of Laozi looks like a tinkling mountain spring behind it, but it never gets wet on the ground, which is very unique in the world. However, since five buildings were destroyed, Phoenix Spring disappeared in an instant. Today, people all know that there is a "Jinsu Mountain" and a Hongyan aunt in Fuping, but few people have heard of the Millennium famous temple "Baofeng Temple". It is really impermanent.

On the east side of Wu Jian Building, there is a complete boulder, which is soilless and seamless. In fact, there is an ancient cypress in the middle, with a twisted tree and a hovering bark. It is called "Bow-stone Cooper". This landscape was destroyed by fire from the early Qing Dynasty to the early liberation.

Immersed in the thoughts of the past, I walked eastward at the edge of the cliff, and I wanted to find Zhou Jiapo's wild way again. Suddenly, a wild cock flew out of the grass at the junction of hay and grove on the cliff and floated to the cliff. There was a pause, so we had to go around the east slope of Baofeng and go back the same way. Then they fled to the pass, and several magpies and crows flapped their wings and sang, adding a little vitality to the desolate and lonely Shan Ye.

On the south side of Taibai Peak, it basically goes down the ridge. The relative gap between the first steps of the natural stone platform here is too big. I have to jump on the cliff for about one meter, and my leg hurts for two or three days before I come back. This is another story.

Just down to the mouth of the orchard, I saw a golden sunset, and my face was just stuck on the mountain of Dongshan in Zhoujiapo last month. It was a charming sunset. I quickly trotted forward and found a tall and symmetrical ancient apricot tree on the hillside as a foil. When I entered the ground, I was lying on a steep slope, covered with pebbles. I quickly turned over and took a beautiful picture of myself without taking any dirt.

Slapping the thick mud stuck to my body, I looked up and saw a cluster of wild jujube trees on the earth cliff next to the ground.

There is a stout jujube tree. Today, "crime tools"-hand saws and flower scissors come in handy. I'm going home to have a rolling pin made.

There is a walnut rolling pin at home, which I made 20 years ago. Cracked and deformed, not easy to use.

Along the road, I came to the front of the car before 17: 30, packed my things, patted my whole body with the towel on the car, unscrewed the faucet in front of the farmer's house to wash my hands and face, and was wiping my face with a towel. The old couple asked me if I had gone up. One scooped cold water, and the other walked separately to his washbasin with an electric kettle. He wants to pour me water and wash my face. I quickly explained with a silly smile: no, really. It has been washed, thanks to my parents. I opened the photos to show them. The old couple smiled and said enviously, "We haven't been there!" "

"Come to eat apricots in May next year. My apricots are delicious! " My old uncle told me again and again before he left.

Back to Cao village,

After eating a bowl of fast food jiaozi, I drove into Zhennan Lane to buy rice vinegar and a jar of fast food candy.

Home is full of local products, all sweet.

The boss took me to see some pieces of maltose that his family had just cooked from the pot, which tasted like Chinese New Year.

With harvest and sweetness, I returned home happily.

After taking a shower and sorting out today's pictures, I was sad and angry when I saw the desolation of Baofeng Temple and the scene of Yueku Mountain being destroyed. Random thoughts: random thoughts about you Jinping

Baofeng Temple, the peak of Baofeng Mountain, is littered with rubble.

There is no trace of Yuedong Mountain. Who will change the geography for the smell of copper?

Here, I also need to nag a few more words about the glorious yesterday of Jinping Mountain.

Splendid Jinping, jade belt circulation, clear scenery in Xinglin, jathyapple spirit, misty rain in South Lake, autumn scenery in Wuling, fairy tales in Meiyuan and the sound of books in caves are the eight great prospects of Fuping. It's really exciting that one place has gathered three beautiful scenery of Fuping, namely, the magnificent scenery of Jinping, the exquisiteness of jathyapple and the sound of books in the cave. This place is Yueku Mountain, which is located in the northwest of Caocun Town. It is named after the steep mountain, crescent-shaped and numerous grottoes. This is also a good raw material for making cement in the northern mountainous area of Fuping, attracting countless people to covet it.

The elevation of Yueku Mountain is 125 1 m, and it is fan-shaped with Jiangjun Mountain in the west, Taibai Mountain and Jinweng Mountain in the east, forming the backbone of Jinping. Towering above the Loess Plateau and standing between heaven and earth, it has beautiful scenery, numerous historical sites and numerous myths and legends. It is an excellent place for scholars of past dynasties to climb mountains and look far, and to recite poems and paint.

In the past, there were towering pines and cypresses along the mountain, with dense grass and full of vitality, just like a green barrier standing in the north of Fuping County. In spring, everything recovers and a hundred flowers blossom; Xia Xing Jin Huang, refreshing; In autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the persimmon trees in front of and behind every house are covered with red lanterns; Winter is wrapped in silver, just like a bride in a wedding dress. As a royal treasure trove of geomantic omen, five emperors in the Tang Dynasty chose it as their residence one hundred years later. No wonder "Jin Ping Lie Cui" occupies the first place among the eight scenic spots in Fuping. It turned out to be a natural map of mountains and rivers.

Famous mountains and rivers often have Taoist temples, and Taoist priests burn incense. Mount Moon Cave is no exception. Yueku Mountain was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, with a history of 1500 years. It is a Buddhist holy land in Weibei. According to "Rebuilding the Inscription of Baofeng Temple" in the fourth year of Kangxi, Baofeng Temple was built in the fifth year of Tang Tianbao as the "Chongsheng Temple" Intermediate People's Court; In the Five Dynasties, it was abandoned due to war. Jin Shizong? Dading (1 16 1 year-1 190) and Jin Zhangzong? Ming Chang (1190-1196) was rebuilt, and then it was repaired many times until the Republic of China. As for why Chongsheng Temple was renamed as "Baofeng Temple", it may be related to the stupa built on the mountain in the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, this Millennium monument has long since disappeared.

The wind sweeps the stone path, and the cloud seals the mountain gate. The glory of history was mercilessly lost in the clouds of years and slowly disappeared into dusty memories. If you don't come to Thailand, everything will follow. Looking at Majiapo, a busy museum, I believe that one day, the Tiesuoling dug in the east will set up a beautiful rainbow, and visitors will stroll to Taibai Mountain after playing Tangfengling, and talk about ancient times with Taishang Laojun, feeling mysterious and sublime; Go to Baofeng Temple West, listen to the Phoenix, see the spirit of jathyapple, and explore the immortals ... Unfortunately, many things have not been left in history, which makes people feel sad.
