At the gate of the garden, the "Oriental Zen Cultural Park" came into view. This is Mo Bao of Mr. Nan, a master of Chinese studies. The main entrance is magnificent, showing the "ethereal realm" and strong vitality of Zen, which makes people put aside all other thoughts and enter the wonderful realm of Zen culture as soon as they enter.
When you stroll through Chi Pan, small lakes and lotus ponds can be seen everywhere in the park. "The next day, the lotus leaves are infinitely colorful, and the lotus flowers reflect different colors in the sun" is a vivid portrayal of the lotus pond in midsummer. The lotus pond is surrounded by water and takes water as the axis, so it is named after the lotus. Lotus flowers and other exotic flowers and grasses in the pool set each other off and become interesting, interwoven into paintings and poems. If the lotus leaves fall in winter, leaving a pool of leaves, it will be beautiful.
Walking north along the path on the east side of Lianchi, you can see 500 stone arhats scattered in the park. The main image is 2.2 meters high and the sitting image is 1.7 meters. Every aspect has reached several tons, beautifully shaped, magnificent and shocking. It is the first Buddhist cultural landscape with the largest number of stone carvings in China.
Ji Jie Hall is located in the center of the park. There is a bronze Buddha statue of Sakyamuni in the hall, which is 5 meters high and weighs 3 tons. Sakyamuni Buddha was dressed in cassock and sat cross-legged on the lotus throne, with a square face and solemn expression. The whole Buddha statue is made of copper, with dignified shape, well-proportioned proportion and fine craftsmanship. It is the largest bronze Buddha statue in the city at present.
Zishou Temple Scenic Area is located in the northwest of the park. It was built in the Dali period of the Tang Dynasty and has been destroyed several times. Now it must be rebuilt. The temple covers an area of more than 60 mu and consists of more than ten parts, including the Heavenly King Hall, the Ursa Major Hall, the Health Hall, the meditation center and the Zen Culture Memorial Hall. According to historical records, the temple has a history of 1200 years. It was founded by Li He's fourteenth son. Su Zhe, a great writer in Song Dynasty, praised it as "Di Zi Dojo".
Over a small slope, it is the bamboo cultural park covering an area of 200 mu. Yifeng, as the "hometown of bamboo in China", has been well reflected here. Gardens are divided into bamboo gardens and bamboo cultural centers. Bamboo forest covers an area of 100 mu, and more than 2 19 and100000 bamboo species are cultivated. It has become an important scenic spot integrating scientific research, viewing and tourism.
