Hello, ladies and gentlemen! How happy we are, to meet friends from afar! First of all, on behalf of the people of Taishan, I welcome you to be a VIP of Taishan! I hope my service can satisfy you, and I hope you can cooperate with me sincerely and let us have a wonderful time together. Let me briefly introduce the world heritage and the basic situation of Tai 'an, an excellent tourist city in China.
Mount Tai is located in the east of North China Plain and the middle of Shandong Province, with a total area of about 2000 square kilometers. The scenic area is 426 square kilometers. Its main peak is Yuhuangding, with an altitude of 1545 meters. Mount Tai has a unique geographical environment. It faces the sea in the east, the Yellow River in the west, Qufu, the hometown of Confucius in the south, and Jinan, the spring city in the north. Jinan, Tai 'an and Qufu form a national tourist hotline-"Landscape Sage" tourist line, and Mount Tai is at the center of this hotline.
Mount Tai is known as "the head of the five mountains" and "the exclusive respect of the five mountains". It is magnificent, with beautiful scenery, a long history and many cultural relics. It is not only a symbol of the Chinese nation, but also a partial epitome of China's history and culture. 1982 was declared as the first batch of national key scenic spots by the State Council, and 1988 was declared as a world natural and cultural heritage by UNESCO.
As we all know, Mount Tai is extensive and profound, with extremely rich connotations. But what is its real value? In a word, Mount Tai has important geological scientific value, unique aesthetic value and precious historical and cultural value.
Mount Tai was covered by sea water 2.5 billion years ago in Archean, and then gradually rose out of the sea. It was not until the middle Cenozoic 30 million years ago that Mount Tai took its present shape under the influence of Himalayan movement. Therefore, Mount Tai is one of the oldest rocks in the world, and its mountains are the youngest in the world. Until today, it is still growing at a rate of 0.05 mm per year.
The beauty of Mount Tai lies in the organic combination of natural landscape and human landscape. The beauty of Mount Tai's natural landscape lies in its height and majestic image. Its main peak is abrupt, the mountain is steep, and the mountains are overlapping, which forms a strong contrast with the surrounding rivers, seas and plains, forming a lofty momentum that "all other mountains are dwarfed under the sky". . Mount Tai stretches for more than 200 kilometers, with a broad foundation and concentrated form, giving people a sense of stability, and psychologically forming a natural feeling of "being as stable as Mount Tai" and "being as heavy as Mount Tai".
The humanistic landscape of Mount Tai is in harmony with the natural landscape. Its layout focuses on starting from Sheshou Mountain at the foot of the mountain, passing through the urban area, along the climbing path, and directly reaching Yuhuang Peak, where the Heaven is told and the overall conception of natural space is carried out. In this landscape zone, it is generally divided into three spaces: one is the downtown area around Taicheng; Second, the area from Naihe to Haolishan in the urban area is regarded as "underworld"; Third, starting from the memorial archway of Daizongfang in the north of the city, along the "ladder" of more than 6000 steps, until the "heaven" of Daiding.
Because of its superior geographical environment, Mount Tai has become one of the main areas where the ancients thrived. It is the highest and largest mountain in the hearts of the ancients, which contains a long history and cultural accumulation of more than 5,000 years. In the Yang of Mount Tai, the Dawenkou cultural site was excavated more than 5,000 years ago, and in the Yin of Mount Tai, there was the Longshan cultural site 4,000 years ago. This provides detailed and rich historical materials for studying the transition from matriarchal society to paternal society, the rise of the country and the origin of civilization.
Due to the cultural accumulation of the ancients, Mount Tai was regarded by the ancients as the source of purple gas, the auspicious place, the home of the gods and the place where everything developed.
The ancients thought that "the sky is high and the ground is thick" and "the sky is high and Mount Tai is also high". Therefore, in order to thank the Heavenly Father for his kindness of "giving life", all the so-called emperors who are "ordered by heaven" should build an altar on the top of Mount Tai, close to the heaven, which means increasing the height of Mount Tai to worship heaven; Then set up an altar on the mountain near the earth in front of Mount Tai, which is a meditation ceremony of Mount Tai pursued by emperors in previous dynasties. If a generation of emperors can climb Mount Tai, they will be regarded by the whole world as a symbol of national prosperity and world peace, and the emperor himself has become a "real dragon emperor". Therefore, Mount Tai has been promoted to the sacred height of harmony with heaven because of its constant Zen ritual activities.
With the formation of Zen rites, Taishan religion was born one after another, which made Taishan ancient temple hidden and numerous temples. Then, literati, celebrities and Confucian scholars came to visit, leaving a large number of poems and couplets, which constantly enriched the connotation of Taishan culture.
There are not only the remains of Zhou Tang Ming, the ancient emperor who visited Mount Tai, but also the earliest military defense lines in China during the Spring and Autumn Period-Mount Tai and the Great Wall. There are Dengfengtai, the website where the ancient emperors closed the Zen ceremony, and Taishan Qin stone carving, the earliest stone carving system. There are both the Diamond Sutra carved by Shigu, the originator of Chinese characters, and the inscription on Mount Tai by Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, which is a wonder of the world.
With the accumulation of 5,000 years of culture, Mount Tai has become a natural history museum and a famous tourist attraction at home and abroad. Ji Xianlin, an oriental scholar, said, "Mount Tai is one of the main cradles of China culture. To carry forward Chinese culture, we must first carry forward Taishan culture. "
Mount Tai and Tai 'an are mountain cities. Tai 'an means "peaceful country and peaceful people" and "Mount Tai is safe in the world". Tai 'an is a new tourist city with tourism as its pillar industry, which governs six counties and cities: Taishan District, Daiyue District, xintai city, Feicheng City, Ningyang County and Dongping County. The total area is about 7,700 square kilometers and the total population is 5.36 million. Taian has developed economy, stable society, convenient transportation and abundant natural resources. As far as transportation and resources are concerned, there are four national highways, 12 provincial highway. There are more than 50 kinds of underground mineral deposits, among which gypsum and natural sulfur rank first in China, and sodium chloride is one of the super-large salt mines in China. Taishan Red, Taishan Green, Taishan Flower and other granite plates are known as "the king of stones" at home and abroad. In terms of agricultural and sideline products and medicinal materials, it is rich in walnuts, chestnuts, fat peaches, jujubes, ganoderma lucidum, Polygonum multiflorum and so on. Among them, taoyuan town was named as "the hometown of Buddha and Peach in China" by the State Council, and Taishan Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonum multiflorum Thunb were developed into various health care drugs by china association of traditional chinese medicine.
Friend, it's not easy to come here. Please learn more about Mount Tai. I believe you will stay and forget to come back.
Mount tai scenic spots and historic sites
Today, I will introduce the scenic spots and cultural relics of Mount Tai to you. For thousands of years, due to the emperor's meditation and sacrifice, Mount Tai has formed a mountain park, which integrates rocks and trees, birds and animals, natural scenery and human landscape, forming a harmonious unity between heaven and earth. Its layout is centered on the main peak of Mount Tai and extends radially outward. Mount Tai has rugged peaks and valleys, lush pines and cypresses, and beautiful pavilions. Scenic spots and cultural relics are mainly concentrated in Daimiao, Dai Lu, Hong Men Road, Tianwaicun Road, Daiding, Daiyin and Lingyan Temple, Shentong Temple, Loujingdong Mountain and Culai Mountain. There are more than 300 peaks and cliffs, more than 260 valleys and waterfalls, more than 20,000 ancient and famous trees, 34 ancient temples, more than 2500 ancient sites 1 10, and more than 2500 inscriptions. There are not only Archaean Cambrian international geological profile strata, but also new discoveries in geology-vortex column structure and gravity sliding structure; There are not only red scale fish, one of the five famous edible fish in China, but also the famous three beauties of Mount Tai-cabbage, tofu and water; There are not only the ruins of Zhou Tianzi's visit to Mount Tai in ancient times, but also the earliest military defense line in China during the Spring and Autumn Period-the week of the Great Wall of Mount Tai; There are Dengfengtai, the site of the ancient emperor's retreat to Zen, and the earliest stone carving Qin Taishan in China. There are both the Diamond Sutra, the originator of Shigu, and the inscription in the world-the inscription on Mount Ji in Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty; There are the earliest existing stone buildings in China-Simen Tower and Song Tianyou Hall, one of the three ancient palace buildings in China. There are both Lingyan Temple, an ancient temple known as the "four wonders in the territory" since the Tang Dynasty, and Dai Temple, the highest specification in the temple architecture. There is not only the most famous Taoist mural "The Return of Mount Tai to the Gods", but also the world's first sculpture "Painted Sculpture of Luohan in Lingyan Temple". There are also three treasures of Zhenshan given by the Qing emperor-agarwood lion, warm and cool jade laurel and yellow glazed gourd, which are in harmony with the majestic Mount Tai.
Dai temple
Dear friends, the scenic spot we visited today is Dai Temple in Dongyue Shenfu, formerly known as Dongyue Temple, commonly known as Tai Temple. It is the largest and most complete ancient architectural complex in Mount Tai, the first temple of the famous mountain in China, and also the place where ancient emperors offered sacrifices to Mount Tai. In the past, whenever the Christmas of Emperor Dongyue was celebrated on March 28th of the lunar calendar, Taishan people would hold a grand temple fair in Dai Temple. When the Dongyue Temple Fair is mentioned, people will think of the story of Yan Qing, a prodigal son, beating drums in Chapter 74 of Water Margin. The master of the world gathered in Dongyue Temple, and the prodigal son Yan Qing was extraordinary. After a fierce battle, Ren Yuan finally became the loser of Liangshan heroes and caused a sensation in Taian.
Dai Temple is located in the north of Tai 'an City at the southern foot of Mount Tai, just on the axis from the south gate of Nanjiutai City to the south gate of Beidaiding, connecting the mountain and the city harmoniously. Dai Temple was built according to the highest specifications of the imperial palace in the architectural history of China. Its city plate is towering, its temples are solemn in appearance, rigorous in structure, overlapping in palaces and magnificent in architecture, with a total area of more than 96,600 square meters. In the overall design, many important buildings are arranged on the central axis in turn, and other buildings are symmetrical; Its spatial sequence also develops with the depth of the axis. In front of the temple, there are medicine kiosks and Daimiao Square. The north-south axis of the temple runs through Zhengyangmen, Peitianmen, Ren 'anmen, Tianyi Hall, Houshui and Houzai Gate. On the east side, the Hanbaiyuan, the East Throne, the Bell Tower, the East Bedroom and the Presiding Office are supplemented; On the west side are Yanxitang, Huanyong Pavilion, Drum Tower, Xiqiao and Yuhua Road Courtyard.
Dai Temple was built in the Western Han Dynasty, expanded in the Tang and Song Dynasties and rebuilt many times. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), it was renovated again and again, making it look brand-new and brilliant again.
Yaocan Pavilion: You should first visit the Daijia Temple in Yaocan Pavilion, which is the vestibule of Daijia Temple. The ancient emperor and Daizong had something to do, so they had to pay a brief visit here first, and then choose an auspicious day before returning to the temple to worship God. There is a stone square in front of the pavilion, which was built in the thirty-fifth year of Qing Qianlong, namely 1770. It has four columns and three rooms, and it is a towering column archway. At the top of it stands a stone beast, engraved with "medicine residue pavilion" In the square, the left and right iron lions crouched, and the flagpole stood high.
In front of the workshop is the "Shuanglong Pool", which was excavated in the sixth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, namely 1880. Built with stones, surrounded by jade fences, the water in the pool flows around Dai Temple and enters the pool. Because there is a stone carving faucet in the northwest corner and southeast corner of the pool, it is called "Shuanglong Pool", and the words "Yue Long Tianchi" are written on the Chinese board on the north side of the pool. Shuanglongchi not only added a new scenic spot at that time, but also solved the drinking water problem of Laotaicheng residents.
Tian Tong Street is in front of the pool, and the south end is the south gate of Gutai City. In ancient times, as soon as tourists entered the south gate, they were placed in the solemn atmosphere of "climbing Mount Tai like climbing to heaven". Wen Chen got off the sedan chair, the military attache dismounted and knelt on both sides of the street to welcome the emperor.
There is Tang Huaiyin beside the pool, and the memorial to the May 3rd massacre in Jinan stands behind the pool. In the 17th year of the Republic of China, that is, on May 3rd, 1928, the Japanese army invaded Jinan, killing more than 5,000 soldiers and civilians. The Kuomintang Shandong provincial government was forced to move to Tai 'an. In the second year, the people of Tai 'an donated money to erect a monument at the annual meeting, bearing in mind the national humiliation. The pedestal is square, engraved with the inscription "Hitachi, May 18th, the Republic of China", and the four sides of the pedestal are cut, just like an angry sword stabbing into the air, just like the "May 3rd Massacre Monument" erected by Jinan soldiers and civilians.
The drug residue pavilion is a courtyard with two entrances. The mountain gate, the plug gate, the main hall, the square pavilion and the back door are located on the central axis from Tiantong Yudao to Daimiao in turn. There are five halls on the pedestal inside the mountain gate, which are located on the top of the mountain and covered with yellow glazed tiles. The hall is dedicated to Bi Xia Yuan Jun; There are three east-west halls on each side, dedicated to the goddess of fertility and the visual grandmother respectively; There is a "no sacrifice monument" in the courtyard, which was erected in the 59th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, that is, A.D. 1720, in order to persuade pilgrims not to sacrifice their lives at Daiding Cliff. The article said: "How can we support our loved ones instead of ruining our bodies to humiliate them?" Instead of dying for immortality, why not live a long life and accumulate goodness? "The cube pavilion is in the backyard, with a four-poster pyramid roof; In the northeast, there is Six Poems by Li Dai inscribed by Japanese calligrapher Mr. Tayun Yanagida, which was published at1990; Ginkgo biloba in the northwest is towering, and the clouds are high.
The current medicine remnant pavilion is basically the pattern of the late Ming Dynasty. Its small scale and narrow space are in sharp contrast with Dai Temple. This expression from small to large, from low to high, from shallow to deep makes Dai Temple more majestic.
Daimiao Square: Between Yaocan Pavilion and Daimiao is Daimiao Square, also known as Linglong Square, which was built in the 11th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, namely 1672. It is a three-story archway with four pillars and three floors in total. It is a treasure of stone carving architecture in Qing Dynasty.
The roof of the square is an imitation wooden structure lying on the mountain. With a kiss in the air, the arches are folded, the cornices are upturned, and the spiny beasts are eager to try. Aquarius stands in the middle of the main ridge, reinforced by four donkey kong on both sides. There are two pearl dragons on the small Fang of the central column, and Feng Dan's relief facing the sun is on the Longmen Fang. A square stone pedestal stands under the square, and two columns stand on the stone pedestal, and the lower side of the columns is a rolling pier stone. There are two pairs of standing sculptures and squatting lions on the stone: the male plays with hydrangea and the female plays with cubs, with different postures and vivid and lovely. On the beams, columns, foreheads and rolling piers of the square, more than 30 vivid pictures of auspicious birds, such as paving the first title ring, Feng Dan facing the sun, Erlong playing beads, lotus flowers, wild and unconstrained style, magical fighting, and Kirin sending treasures, were carved respectively. The pattern design adopts symmetrical techniques, and the composition and carving techniques are varied, which has a strong artistic appeal.
The square inner column has carvings on both sides. In the south, Shi Tianyi, the founder of Shandong Province, wrote a book: "The extreme of heaven gives birth to everything by praising the body;" Emperor Jing, and the voice of Shengling Town is in the east. " It means towering Mount Tai and Tianqi, helping heaven and earth to transform everything; Mount Tai, the god who dominates the universe, and the famous Lingwei Town fear the East. In the north, Zhao Xiangxing, the right assistant minister of the Shandong Provincial Governor's Ministry of War, wrote an inscription: "For the Yues, the people are lofty, so what can we do?" The spirit of the mixed group always shines, and Kyushu is on standby to swing with Beijing. "The general idea is that Mount Tai is the ancestor of the five mountains, and people all over the country come to pay tribute to its majestic spirit. Who can surpass its virtue and grace in transforming everything? The God of Mount Tai controls and manipulates the immortal world, and the whole world obeys its orders. Its contribution to protecting the whole life is enormous and far-reaching. Who can compare with it? Shuanglian brilliantly summarizes the great power of Mount Tai.
Zhengyangmen: Friends, this is the Great Temple Miyagi, with eight gates. The five rooms facing south are the "Zhengyang Gate" in the middle, the main entrance of Dai Temple and the gate of the emperor: "Zhengyang people have the spirit of Japan and China in the south". The small doors on both sides are closed doors; On both sides of the gate, the east means "looking up" and the west means "seeing the big", which means looking at the foot of the mountain, and Taishan looks up and sees its big. There is Donghuamen in the east, also known as Qingyang; There is Xihuamen in the west, also known as Su Jing, named after the Five Emperors, Di Qing in the east and Bai Di in the west. The north gate is called "Houzai", which means that the earth can carry the virtues of nine emperors, and it is also called "Lu Zhan". It is based on Taishan Rock in the Book of Songs Truffles, which is admired by the people of Lu and echoes the Zhan Lu Terrace at Daiding. It turned out that there were gatehouses above the eight gates, and the four corners of the temple were also built with exquisite turrets according to gossip, but they were all destroyed in the war of the Republic of China. Since the reform and opening up, the management department of Taishan has rebuilt the Wufeng Pagoda in Zhengyangmen, the Wangyue Pagoda in Houzaimen, the Root Tower in the northeast corner of the city wall, the patrol building in the southeast corner, the trunk building in the northwest corner and the Kunlou building in the southwest corner. Please have a look at the attic hanging high on the wall, three arches, painted with golden dragons, majestic and extraordinary, with the potential to fly in the air.
Please follow me into the Zhengyang Gate below. The first thing we see is that the second door on the central axis coincides with Tianmen, which means "the combination of virtue and heaven and earth" in Confucius' language. Tianmen is five rooms wide and three rooms deep, resting at the top of the mountain and passing through the hall in a corridor. There used to be clay sculptures such as Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku and Xuanwu in the temple, which were destroyed in the Republic of China. On both sides are the attached halls, and on the east is the Hall of the Three Tombs. Tang Chen, Ge Yong and Wu Zhou, the remonstrators of the Zhou Dynasty, offered sacrifices. According to legend, when Song Zhenzong sealed Mount Tai in Dongyue, he met these three gods in the Nantianmen of Daiding, so he named them "Three Hou Ling" and later built a temple here to offer sacrifices. The west hall is called Taiwei Hall, which is dedicated to Du Chong, a famous person in the Tang Dynasty. This man was appointed assistant minister of Zhongshu in Huichang, Tang Wuzong. The East-West Annex was completely demolished in 1968 and converted into a flat-topped exhibition hall. Now the hall we see was rebuilt in 1998.
This ancient cypress, which grows on the east side of the road, is said to be a cypress tree. It is lush, tall and upright, with lush foliage. At the junction of its trunk and lateral branches, there is a strange tree tumor, which looks more and more like a naughty monkey with a square seal on its chest, which is one of the eight sights of Dai Temple. This also reminds everyone of the story of "hanging and sealing".
Look at the courtyard again. There are more than 20 plaques on the east and west sides. Among them, the most famous are the monument to the Dongyue Temple in the Song Dynasty in the southeast and the monument to the Dongyue Tianqi in the southwest. The two monuments face each other from east to west, tall and majestic, and the turtle head is beheaded, with extraordinary momentum.
Xuanhe Monument was built in Song Huizong in the sixth year of Xuanhe, namely 1 124. The monument is 9.25m high and 2. 1 m wide. This big bluestone turtle seat alone has seven cubic meters and weighs more than 40 thousand kilograms. There is also a magical story in it. It is said that after Song Huizong rebuilt Dai Temple in Xuanhe period, he would erect a monument to commemorate it and set the size, which must surpass all the stone monuments in Dai Temple. Then announce that the world famous craftsmen will finish it within a time limit, and the offenders will be beheaded. This time, the masons were miserable. After suffering, they finally found the stone tablet material but could not find the stone turtle material. Everyone is in a hurry. At this time, the stonemason saw a boulder on the beach of Dawenhe in his dream. The next day, he led the craftsmen to dig on the beach, and the result was consistent with the dream. After the turtle seat was chiseled, it could not be transported into the temple gate, and everyone panicked again. The chief craftsman bowed to the stone turtle three times and said, "Since the mountain god has appeared, please save people to the end!" " "Lingshi really said:" If you want to save everyone, you must first lose yourself! "The chief craftsman kowtowed excitedly and said," As long as you can enter the temple gate, I'm afraid I'll be shattered! ""As soon as the voice fell, I heard a loud bang, and a lintel fell from the temple gate, just breaking the leg of the craftsman's head. When the stone turtle enters the door, everyone is saved, and the spirit of saving others by sacrificing oneself has been sung to this day.
The Monument to Xuanhe was written by Yu, a bachelor of Hanlin in those days, and by Zhang Chong, a diaspora doctor. The inscription traces back to the history of offering sacrifices to Mount Tai, whitewashes the peaceful and prosperous times, and describes the scene of Song Huizong's "imperial edicts dropping repeatedly and increasing the palace" during the reign of Emperor Jingdi of Zhong Jian for 2 1 year, that is, from AD1kloc-0/year to Xuanhe for four years. There are four Chinese characters inscribed by Shandong Governor and Wu in the 16th year of Wanli of Ming Dynasty, namely 1588. It can be seen from this monument that Dai Temple has developed to a considerable scale at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, with 8 13 buildings of various types, which is in sharp contrast with today's 180 buildings.
The Tianqiren Shengdi Monument, which was sealed by Dongyue in the Great Song Dynasty, was erected by Song Zhenzong in the sixth year of Xiangfu, namely 10 13, commonly known as Xiangfu Monument. This monument is 8.2 meters high and 2.3 meters wide. It was written by Zhao Jiong, a bachelor of Hanlin, and is waiting for Yin Xigu, the doctor of Hanlin's imperial edict, to seal the tablet and inscribe it. The inscription first praised the Northern Song Dynasty for using the divine power of Mount Tai, described the process of Song Zhenzong's continuous ascent to Mount Tai in the first year and four years of Dazhong Xiangfu, and advocated the great changes after Zhao Heng's ascent to Mount Tai to thank the "heavenly book". They regard the temporary stability after winning the battle and paying reparations as the achievement of closed-door Zen. The inscription on the Yin tablet has four big characters, namely "Duwu Mountain" written by Taishou in the 24th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1596).
In addition, on the east side, please see Tombstone Wen, Tai 'an Wumu King, Tai 'an, Tai 'an, and rebuild the shrine monument in Haolishan, Dongyue, creating a monument for seventy scholars by plastic studies. There are "Taishan Praise Monument" and "Movable Star Square Monument" on the west side. The tombstone was built in the fourth year of the Yuan Dynasty, namely 13 17. The monument is 7.3m high and1.78m wide. A decapitated tortoise and the king of world stand tall. The inscription was written by Yao Sui, a great scholar of Hanlin Jixian in Yuan Dynasty. The inscription mainly introduces the life and achievements of Mangwu Boluo, an important official of Mu Wang in Yuan Dynasty. "Li Hao Monument" was established in the 21st year of Yuan Dynasty, that is, in the year of 1284, when Zhang Zhichun, the supervisor of Dongyue and director of Dongping Road, rebuilt Li Hao Mountain Temple. Xu Shilong, a bachelor of Hanlin, writes articles, and Xu Shoudan, a satrap of Tai 'an. The inscription mainly expounds the power of life and death of Mount Tai, which is the historical material for textual research on Mount Tai as the underworld. Later generations believe that the necromancer belongs to Artemisia, and there are gods in its mountains. Seventy-five divisions are set up to enter and leave the place of life and death. So people say: when people die, their souls stay in Artemisia. "The Monument Created by Seventy Scholars in Suzhou" was written in Yuan Dynasty, namely 1349. Zhang Congren, a professor of Confucianism in Tai 'an Prefecture, wrote an article as a doctor, attacking Sun Kongkejian, the 55th generation of the Duke of Feast. The inscription first preached the feudal ethics of the "Three Cardinals and Five Permanences", and then traced back to the reason and process of creating seventy statues when Sun Kongzhiyan was a judge in Tai 'an County in the 52nd generation. The monument to Mount Tai in Southwest China was built in the forty years of Qing Qianlong 1775. The front of the monument is the preface and inscription written by Zhu, the magistrate of Tai 'an, and the back of the monument is the carved map of Taishan Line.
Before and after Tianmen, the cypress wall was surrounded by various flowers and trees, and Chimonanthus praecox, Chinese rose, Spring Festival, Lilac, Magnolia grandiflora, Centennial Red, Cherry Blossom and Lingxiao were in full bloom, competing for each other. Especially before and after the May Day holiday, several big dark red peaches among the flowers, like a pair of ladies with heavy make-up, stand slim in the colorful peony garden. This rare season and rare scenery attract tourists to enjoy the national flowers.
You see, with Tianmen, there is benevolence and security, which is taken from the meaning of Confucius' "benevolence and security". The temple was originally dedicated to the god of the deaf and dumb, with east and west door gods on both sides. Tianmen and Ren 'an are connected by a passage, with bronze lions crouching in front and stone lions guarding behind, which adds to the sacred majesty of the temple.
Tiangong: Friends, after we walked out of Ren 'anmen, we entered the Tiangong Courtyard. In front of us are pavilions and old pools, surrounded by stone fences, which are small and exquisite. There are nine exquisite stones in and around the pool, which were presented by Wu Pei of Fengfu County to his mother king in the first year of Da 'an in the Jin Dynasty, namely 1209. These limestone deposited on the seabed are characterized by transparency, dew, thinness, scale, crepe, ugliness and beauty, and their postures are various and intriguing. What's even more strange is that there is a cypress tree on the east side of Gelaochi, with a spherical scar deposited on its trunk, which looks like a Swiss unicorn with an upward eye, and a round tree scar on the upper right, which naturally constitutes one of the eight sights of Daimiao-Kirin looking at the moon. There is a dead Cooper on the north side of the pool and the east side of the road. Look at its body twisting clockwise, the texture is clear and delicate, which is particularly strange. Legend is the embodiment of ancient loyal ministers. When accompanying the emperor to worship Mount Tai, he refused to take advice because he was dissatisfied with the huge cost, which angered the emperor. Later, although he was spared the death penalty at the request of ministers, he was beheaded again because of his honesty and frankness, and his soul stood on the side of the road complaining to Mount Tai, one of the eight scenic spots in Dai Temple-rather die than surrender. Legend is a legend after all, but judging from the modeling characteristics of this tree, it contains a kind of tortuous and enterprising power and a sense of beauty that combines rigidity with softness, which is why people like it.
Ladies and gentlemen: In this spacious courtyard, cypress trees are towering and the sun is shining. Through the gap, you can see a magnificent palace, which is the main building of Dai Temple, the shrine of Dongyue Emperor-Song Tianzhu Temple.
There is a small terrace on the south side of the main hall, on which stands a huge stone, standing still. This is "Fusang Stone", also known as "Jieshi", commonly known as "confused stone". There is an independent Cooper step on the north 14 meter corridor, which is said to be the embodiment of An Jinzang, a loyal minister in the Tang Dynasty. Wu Zetian called Li Dan, the youngest son, the heir. She suspected that her son had a plot, just wanted to kill him, and sent her confidants to examine Ann and others in Tibet. An Jin-zang tried his best to protect the prince and shouted, "If you don't believe me, please explain that the prince is not my enemy." Then stab the sword into the abdomen and the five internal organs come out at the same time. After being rescued by a physician, he died, and Li Dan survived. Later, after Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty succeeded to the throne, in order to remember the loyalty of Anjin Tibet, he was specially named "Dai Guogong" and ordered to engrave the three characters "Anjin Tibet" on Daguan Peak at the top of Mount Tai. After the death of An Jin-zang, he was posthumously awarded as the "History of the Ministry of War". It is said that the soul of Anjin, Zang, once came to Taishan to accuse Wu Zetian of killing his son and turned it into this cypress tree. Because of its name "Solitary loyal cypress", it is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Dai Temple-Solitary loyal cypress. Tourists are also told to cover their eyes with handkerchiefs, each person turns around the Fusang stone three times, and then touches the scar seam in the middle of the south side of Cooper to receive the blessing of the mountain god.
It was built in the second year of Dazhong Xiangfu, namely 1009. It was built by Song Zhenzong to thank the Emperor of Heaven for giving him a "heavenly book". When it was rebuilt in the Yuan Dynasty, it was renamed "Ren 'antang". After the reconstruction in Ming Dynasty, it was even called "Jijun Hall". At the beginning of the Republic of China, it was renamed "Temple of Heaven". It was designed according to the ninth five-year plan of the emperor, that is, 9 rooms are wide and 5 rooms are deep. This is based on the meaning of "flying dragon in the sky in the ninth five-year plan" in the Book of Changes. Its roof is double eaves, supported by the lower bucket arch and covered with yellow glazed tiles. The whole hall was built on a two-stage stage with a height of 2.65 meters and an area of more than 800 square meters. Magnificent, magnificent, full of imperial power. Together with the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City and Dacheng Hall in the Confucius Temple in Qufu, it is called the three palace-style buildings in ancient China. According to folklore, the Temple of Heaven in Daimiao is the same as the Temple of Heaven in the Forbidden City, only three bricks shorter, and Dacheng Hall in Qufu is three bricks shorter than the Temple of Heaven. In the first year of Jingdezhen in the Northern Song Dynasty, namely 1004, Xiao Taihou of Liao State and Shengzu led an army to invade the territory of Song State. Song Zhenzong was afraid of the enemy, so he conspired with ministers Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaomao to move the capital to the south of the city. Because Prime Minister Kou Zhun insisted on the main battle, Song Zhenzong made up his mind to bid in the Zen Temple, which is today's Puyang, Henan Province, and finally defeated the Liao army. True Sect has always been the Lord and the Sect. Although it won the battle, it also signed a humiliating peace treaty with Liao, losing 654.38+ 200,000 silver and 200,000 silks every year. This is the famous "Yuan Dynasty Alliance". When Song Zhenzong was at home and abroad, in order to maintain his rule with the help of "divine right of monarchy", he and Wang Qinruo and other ministers directed a farce of "descending the book of heaven" and sealed Mount Tai in the east.
Daxiong Hall is dedicated to the clay statue of Dongyue Emperor, with a height of 4.4 meters and a square stone pedestal, with a waist height of 1.6 meters. Please look at the idol, wear it on your head and hang it twelve times in front to remind the emperor to be sharp-eyed; Jade scales hung on both sides of the crown, showing that the emperor turned a deaf ear to the greedy words of traitors. Dressed in royal robes, he held a green jade plate given by the emperor, carved with the sun, moon and stars above and mountains and seas below, indicating that Mount Tai has the great power of Lord, Lord, Lord and Lord. The statue is exquisite, solemn and lifelike, just like the emperor. There is a plaque called "Building a Town with Heaven" hanging on the shrine, which was in the 23rd year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, namely 1684. Inside the temple gate, there is a huge plaque of "Dadeshou" written in the thirteenth year of Qianlong, that is, AD 1748. In front of the statue, there are five bronze products given by the Ming emperor and sacrificial ceremonies such as golden melon, moon axe, climbing to heaven and guiding staff.
Dongyue the Great is the God of Mount Tai. In order to strengthen their rule, emperors of all dynasties tried their best to seal the title of Mount Tai God and worship him. Mountain gods have no titles. In the 13th year of the reign of Emperor Taizong in Li Longji, that is, in 725 AD, Mount Tai was named the "King of Heaven". When Zhao Hengdong of Song Zhenzong sealed Mount Tai, he was promoted to "Tianqi as Wang Sheng". In four years, Dazhong Xiangfu was added as "Tianqi as Shengdi". In the 28th year of Zhiyuan, namely 129 1 year, Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu was once again named as "the God of Heaven". After Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, acceded to the throne, he thought it was "blasphemous" to add the title to Mount Tai, so he removed all the titles and renamed it "Mount Tai God of Dongyue".
In the Hall of the Great Hero, there are pictures of the miracle of Mount Tai painted on the east, west and north walls. The picture is bounded by the back door, with "Qi" in the east and "Hui" in the west. It is 62 meters long and 3.3 meters high. You see, there is a guard in front of the golden palace, and the queen and concubine are watching behind the guard; On Jinshui Bridge, the 18th National College Students saw off; Emperor Dongyue sat on a jade chariot with a yellow plaque on it and a three-story ring on top, riding six green horses and surrounded by hundreds of officials. In front of him, there are two bright sedan chairs to accompany him, the king of Ling Bing on the left and the real Yan Xi on the right; Further on, auspicious spirits galloped, Luan flags fluttered, knights lined up, and ceremonial personnel. The pioneers of the whole team are hags blaring gongs, Kirin escorting, and playing with gongs; There are also incense tables and 18 city gods waiting to catch up. The map on the west is basically the same as the patrol map, except that two Hargreaves are added carrying a tiger and a camel carrying documents to show the complete success of Dongyue Emperor's patrol. There are 697 * * figures in the whole picture, including auspicious animal mounts, rocks and trees, Gongqiao culverts, etc., which are dense and varied, and are one of the masterpieces of China palace murals.
This mural was originally painted when Song Zhenzong was blocked in the east, but the main hall was destroyed and rebuilt by fire many times. Especially in the 7th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, namely 1668 A.D., the Tancheng earthquake occurred in East China, and the walls of Tai 'an City were "destroyed" and the main hall "collapsed", so the existing murals were redrawn after the earthquake. Looking at his murals, it is obvious that the main figures, palaces and bridges in the lower part are all traditional paintings by China: scattered perspective or even perspective is adopted, that is, there is no sense of distance, which basically retains the original appearance of the Song Dynasty; The rocks, trees and buildings at the top adopt the western focus perspective method, that is, the near is big and the far is small. Western painting was introduced to China in the early years of Qing Dynasty. Muralists regard it as novel, so they imitate it in the foil part of the first half, which makes the upper and lower styles very different. Murals were destroyed during the Republic of China. During the Central Plains War, Sun Liangcheng occupied Tai 'an and built a stage under the western wall of the main hall. Later, he stationed troops many times, posted slogans, installed wooden stakes, set up stables, and shelled several places in the hall. 193 1, Tai 'an cultural celebrity Zhao Xinru was restored and protected by iron bars. Due to the age, many parts of the mural have been eroded, especially the lower part, so please take good care of it.
In the east room of the temple, there is a bronze casting "Zhao Yaobao Mirror" in Ming Dynasty, with a diameter of 1.438+0 m. This precious mirror was originally an offering after the statue of Yuan Jun in Bi Xia Medicine Remnant Pavilion, and was moved here on 1936.
The heavy platform in front of the hall is high, wide and wide, surrounded by carved fences and jade steps curved back; There are two iron incense burners in Ming Dynasty and two iron drums in Song Dynasty, which are specially prepared for burning incense and fighting fire. On both sides of the platform are the Imperial Monument Pavilion, in which there are eight poems inscribed by Emperor Qianlong when he visited Dai Temple, which are important historical materials for studying the memorial service of Mount Tai, from which we can not only verify the traces of the emperor, but also glimpse the evolution of Guan Chan system.
The ancient emperors offered sacrifices to Mount Tai, first at Dai Temple and then at Mount Tai. In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong held grand sacrificial activities here, including three sacrifices, six kneels and six knocks.
There is an ancient cypress under the tunnel on the west side of solitary cypress, with dead branches facing north, just like a crane spreading its wings. This is one of the eight sights of Dai Temple-cranes spreading their wings.
There are hundreds of original corridors on both sides of the main hall, which are connected with the East and West Shenmen on both sides of Ren 'anmen. There are seventy-two divisions of Yamaraja's Ten Halls painted under the porch, a bell tower in the middle of the East Corridor and a Drum Tower in the middle of the West Corridor. Corridors and buildings were destroyed in the late Qing Dynasty. After the reform and opening up, the corridor and the bell and drum floors were rebuilt.
There are 65,438+09 famous monuments in the East Corridor of the Courtyard from north to south, among which the most famous are the replica of Taishan stone carving in Qing Dynasty, the monument of Fu Hengjun in ancient Wei and Qing Dynasties, the monument of Zhang Junbiao in ancient Gucheng in Han Dynasty, the monument of Sun Shi Taishou's wife Jin Rencheng, the statue of Yue in Tang Dynasty, and the monument of Shenbao Temple in Qi State in Tang Dynasty. It is worth mentioning that Hengfangbei and Zhang
