Its religious activities can be traced back to the Qin Dynasty, and the remains of primitive Taoism and immortal alchemy can be seen everywhere on the mountain. In the first year of the Tang Dynasty (AD 847), a Brahma monk came to Yin Chao Cave to feel the incarnation of Guanyin. In order to tell the wonderful method, the spiritual trace began. In the fourth year of Xian Tong, Tang Xianzong (AD 863), Master Hua Hui, a Japanese monk, invited Guanyin to return home by boat from Wutai Mountain, and went to Lianhuayang, where he ran aground, thinking that Guanyin refused to cross eastward and left an icon to worship at the edge of Yin Chao Cave, so he refused to go to Guanyin. After several generations of construction, there are many temples. In its heyday, there were 3 temples, 88 temples, Mao Peng 128 and more than 4,000 monks in the whole mountain, which was called "the first Buddhist country in Sinian" in history.

Twelve Scenes of Putuo Mountain
Putuo is a scenic spot with both mountains and seas, with unique scenery, changing seasons and different mornings. There are hundreds of scenic spots, which can be described as infinite scenery. Like other famous scenic spots, Mount Putuo also has its "scenery in the scenery".
According to their own impressions, celebrities who visited Putuo Mountain in past dynasties once had "Eight Putuo Scenes", "Twelve Putuo Scenes" and "Ten Putuo Scenes". Praise of "Sixteen Scenes of Putuo"

First, the lotus ocean crosses at noon
Lotus ocean, that is, lotus ocean, is located between Shaoputuo Mountain in Zhoushan Island, connected to Huangdayang in the north and Pushui Road in the south. The ocean was named after the legend that the Japanese wanted to welcome Guanyin back to China, and manatees and iron lotus prevented it from crossing the sea. Kangxi's "Dinghai County Records" quoted Putuo Zhi as saying: "In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, Houyi people paid tribute and wanted to carry it to their own country, but the pig iron lotus at sea could not be returned by ship, hence the name."
Lianhuayang is the only way to climb Mount Putuo for pilgrimage. If the passenger's boat reaches the ocean and catches up with the early tide, you can see the waves on the ocean fluctuate slightly, like thousands of lotus flowers in the wind, which is refreshing and memorable. In case of windy days, it is a magnificent spectacle.
A fisherman once sang: "there is a big storm in the lotus sea, and there is a lotus in the windless sea." A lotus flower blooms for ten miles and its petals are as sharp as spikes. "
Second, short-lived shrines.
Entering the gate of Buddhism, about 300 meters to the southeast, is the head of Aigu Road. There are "rocks with different sizes and shapes, more than ten meters wide and hundreds of meters long, and pebbles are attached to each other" on the beach. Some stones are engraved with the words "short ancient monument", which haunt the old tides and waves and become natural ports. When the boat reached Duan Gu Road, it couldn't reach the shore, so it had to ferry with a small boat no more than one foot long and no more than three feet wide. In the 31st year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1905), Yu and Lian Chan, abbots of Putuo Mountain, were unable to go ashore because of the ebb and flow of the tide, so they raised money with a huge stone pedestal with a length of1m and a width of 8 m.. Before the completion of Putuo Mountain Bus Terminal, anyone who comes to Putuo Mountain for pilgrimage and Range Rover sightseeing will go ashore there.
According to legend, an aunt and a sister-in-law made vows to worship Buddha. A few years later, they pooled their money to buy a boat, and the boat was moored at the head of the road. Unfortunately, my sister-in-law felt ashamed and unclean, and dared not disembark into the mountains. His sister-in-law went on a pilgrimage without blessing, so she told him to wait for her on the boat and go to the mountain to worship Buddha alone. I don't want to be near noon, the tide is high, and the boat has left the shore. My sister-in-law has been sitting on the boat for a long time, and she is too hungry to eat. Just then, I saw a village woman arrive at the shore with a lunch box, threw some stones into the tide, stood on these stones, and scrambled to go straight to her sister-in-law's boat, saying that her sister-in-law asked her to send it. She put down her lunch box and got off the boat. After a while, my sister-in-law came back from pilgrimages and asked about the past. My mother was startled. It suddenly occurred to me that when I was worshipping Buddha just now, I saw that Master Guanyin's clothes were wet. I suddenly realized that this is the work of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so I rushed into the mountains to worship Guanyin. Because my sister-in-law was "short of an aunt" at the dock, the aunt's berth was called "short of an aunt's head" from now on. There are stones hanging in the tide beside the road. Legend has it that these stones were thrown into the tide to stamp their feet when delivering meals, so they are called "Short menstruation Monument".
Third, Meiwan Xiao Chun.
Chunxiao in the bay refers to the early spring scenery of Putuo Mountain, also called Meicen, because the mountain bay in the west is Meiwan, also called Qianwan. It is said that there are many wild plums here, and temple monks are good at raising plums. Grace. In the early spring, spring returns to the earth, people avoid Shan Ye plum, the fragrance is full of valleys, and the green hills and trees set off a little little red dot. This is really a beautiful scene. It was once known as "floating on the sea".
Every day when the sun is calm, stand on the top of the western hills; Overlooking the lotus ocean, I saw fishing boats racing, gulls gathering, waves in the sea, shining road lights, and green hills outside the mountains, which were beautiful. If it is on a moonlit night, the branches are sparse and the islands and reefs are hazy and fragrant, which is even more intoxicating.
Fourth, the sunset of Pantuo
"Pantuo Zhao Xi" refers to the night scene around Pantuo Stone.
Pan Tuoshi can be seen not far from the westbound Mei Fuan. Pantuo stone is made up of two stones, with a wide bottom and a sharp top and a circumference of more than 20 meters. The stone protruding in the middle is the stone above, which is called rock. At the top of a boulder, there is a flat-bottomed tip, 3 meters high and nearly 7 meters wide. It is a diamond, and it is called Tuo. The gap between the upper and lower stones is like a line, bright and unconnected, like a stone hanging on a stone.
Whenever the sun goes down, the stone is covered with a layer of gold and shines with dazzling light. If people can climb the top of the stone and look around the mountains and seas at this time, the scenery will be magnificent, which will become a great spectacle of Putuo Mountain.
Verb (abbreviation of verb) Lianchi jathyapple
"Lianchi jathyapple" refers to the moonlight in Hai Yin Pool. Hayindy is located in front of Fossett Mountain, also known as "release pond" and "lotus pond". It turned out to be a pond where Buddhists put flowers, and later lotus flowers were planted, which was called "lotus pond".
"Hai Yin" is the name of Samadhi acquired by the Buddha. For example, the sea can print everything, and Zhan Ran, the wisdom sea of the Buddha, can print all laws. Hai Yin Pond covers an area of about 15 mu and was built in the Ming Dynasty. There are three stone bridges on the pool, and the middle one is called Pingqiao. It is connected to the Zhongshan Gate of Fusang Temple in the north, with an octagonal pavilion in the middle and a royal tablet pavilion in the south. Xie Beiting, Bajiao Pavilion and Fusang Temple are built on the same central axis. The ancient stone bridge lies on the water wave, and a magnificent and elegant stone bridge stands in the distance, revealing a beautiful spirit. It's really like a fairyland in the palace.
Lotus land is surrounded by mountains on three sides, surrounded by ancient camphor trees, and the pool water is accumulated by mountain springs, as clear as jade. Every summer, the lotus leaf fields and lotus pavilions in the pool reflect the reflections of ancient trees, Sanskrit figures, arch bridges and pagodas, forming a very beautiful picture. Come here on a summer moonlit night, or reflect the pool on a calm day with high clouds and light moon; Or the breeze is slow, and the lotus fragrance attacks people.
Lotus, which Buddhists call lotus, is a symbol of holiness and purity. Buddhism calls Elysium the "Lotus Country", thinking that people in other places will live in the lotus forever. It is believed that all beings have "Buddha nature", but they are still trapped in the mud of life and death troubles because they are troubled by life and death troubles and do not glow with their own Buddha nature. The lotus is "muddy but not dirty, clear but not demon", so Buddhism uses the lotus as a metaphor for "Buddha nature". Guanyin Bodhisattva is the "lotus teacher" of Purdue sentient beings who died in the state of Lian.
Sixth, Fahua is smart.
The unique landscape in the east of Fahualing is here. The huge stones in Fiona Fang stand on their own feet, forming dozens of caves: some carve and walk at will; Some are as wide as rooms, with stone statues inside; Some are abundant on the top, and the spring water trickles down, flowing out of the stone pile and pouring into a pool. Although there are many caves in Putuo Mountain with various levels, this is the most. Outside the cave, there are inscriptions such as "Qing Da Fu Di", "Putuo Rock" and "Southeast Column".
Seven, the ancient cave tidal sound
The cave is semi-submerged in seawater, with a depth of about 30 meters, and the depth from the cliff to the bottom of the cave is about 10 meter. The coast here is winding, with rugged rocks and rugged rocks. The bottom of the cave is open to the sea, and there are two gaps at the top, which are called skylights.
The tidal hole faces the sea and opens wide. Beaten by the waves day and night, the tide rushed into the mouth of the cave, like a dragon, and the sound was like thunder. If the wind is strong, the splash will go straight to the "skylight". If it is sunny, the colorful neon in the cave is illusory and sighs into wonders.
It is reported that during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, pilgrims who came to Putuo for pilgrimage often asked the Bodhisattva to bless them in front of Yin Chao Cave. After the Ming Dynasty, I will go to Brahma Cave to knock the earth of Guanyin. Pilgrims often jump off cliffs and die in order to live in the western paradise. So Dinghai County ordered Xiang Ying to build a pavilion on the shore, and wrote the book "Jie" in his own handwriting, and erected a monument to prohibit Jie.
Eight, Chaoyang Chongri
After crossing the fairy well, I looked at several Baoshan mountains to the east, only to see a rock leaning like an elephant on the mountain, looking up at the East China Sea with its nose stretched out. This is the elephant stone. On top of the rock, there is a rabbit rock as docile as a rabbit. On the east coast of Xiang Yan, there is a natural cave, not more than ten feet wide, but deep and secluded. The huge stones outside the cave are uneven and piled up into a sea of people. The cave faces east, holding a hundred steps of sand on the left and right, and a thousand steps of sand. Whenever it is sunny and early in the morning, you can watch the sunrise and sea view here, and the scenery is magnificent. The rising sun "is like a wheel, red as sand, and suddenly rises from the bottom of the sea, dazzling and scattering the sea water." I rarely thought of Zeng Guangyao before. " Therefore, people named it "Chaoyangdong" and listed "Chaoyang Sunrise" as one of the twelve scenic spots in Putuo. Mount Putuo watches the sunrise, headed by Chaoyang Cave.
Chaoyangdong is also a good place to listen to the tide. There is the original Chaoyang Temple on Chaoyang Cave. According to the book, being in this temple, the waves blare below, like thousands of kinds of music symphony, has a special interest.
Tanxia Pavilion, also known as Chaoyang Pavilion, was built on the left platform of Chaoyang Cave, facing the cliff and facing the sea. Whenever the sun rises, the sun shines and the scenery is beautiful.
Nine, Jinsha Qianbu
Thousands of steps of Jinsha, the sand color is like gold, pure and soft, broad and magnanimous, soft with rigidity, just like a golden seal, walking on it, not falling or sinking. Here, the waves stop day and night, and the sound of the waves is endless. The tide frolics on the beach, coming like a waterfall and stopping like resistance. Every time there is a big wind and waves, thunder turns into snow, which is amazing. When you are wandering, it is strange, unusual, and the strange landscape is indescribable. With gentle slope, wide sea surface and no rocks in the water, Qianbu Shasha is often favored by swimming Kenjisho. If tourists come in summer, don't miss this sight, or walk barefoot on it after sightseeing, and let the waves caress your feet. The interesting feeling is unimaginable for those who have never tried it. Or sit quietly on the beach for a while and listen to the sound of the tide. Or simply put on a bathing suit and jump into the waves of the Buddha Sea, bringing you infinite coolness. When you float in the embrace of the blue sea, your body and mind may gradually merge with the sea, and then you may feel that you are the sea and the sea is you.
Thousands of steps in Jinsha are not just beautiful during the day. Every moonlit night, Chanjuan moves slowly, the breeze blows gently, and the waves sound from time to time, and its quiet scenery is more poetic. Therefore, some people once combined it with the magnificent sunrise and called it Xituo Mountain.
X. Guangxi Xue Ji
Guangxi Peak is located in the southeast of Foding Mountain, a "Lotus Stone Flower", also known as "Stone House". From a distance, among the green trees, there are mountains and rocks, which are beautiful, like lotus flowers and snow-capped peaks.
"Xue Ji, Guangxi" refers to the scenery after snow in Guifeng, one of the twelve scenic spots in Putuo. It seldom snows in Putuo Mountain, and winter is quiet and wonderful. But if you are lucky, catch up with a heavy snow, climb Foding Mountain and overlook Guangxi Peak. Like jade carving, wrapped in white, blowing open the petals of ten thousand pear trees, the mountains are mixed, and the sea is low and even frozen clouds. At this time, you will feel that your heart is clear and clean, just like being in the pure land of pure white Buddha.
It is not easy to see the snow scene of Guangxi Peak, but Putuo is a Buddhist holy land, and Buddhist disciples often come and go, or often stay in retreat, so it is destiny takes a hand to appreciate the "Snow Ji" scenery of Putuo Mountain.
Eleven, Chashan rewelding fog
Chashan is located behind Foding Mountain, stretching from north to west. The mountains and rivers are vast and there are many streams. Every time before sunrise, the tea forest is filled with mist, sometimes like silk, and sometimes because of marriage. At this moment, if you are in it, it is like dreaming, which makes people daydream infinitely.
In Guputuo Mountain, there are no residents, and the monks in the mountain grow their own grain. Growing tea is an important task for monks living in the mountains. Every picking season, all the monks come out together, and a busy scene (children's poem) immediately appears on the mountain. "Shan Ye strives to pick fragrant buds and push the fog through the clouds to get credit."
The tea in Putuo Chashan is called "Cloud and Fog Buddha Tea", because this kind of tea tree is mostly planted by monks, so monks talk about "Chashan Fog" with a unique flavor.
Twelve, Tianmen Qingfan
Tianmen Qingfan talks about the landscape of the Fanyin Cave at the easternmost tip of Putuo Mountain. From Fayu Temple to Sha Fei Ao and Xianghui 'an, it is the easternmost Gu Qinglei Mountain in Putuo. The green drum base is inserted into Putuo Ocean. This must be because there are often stormy waves crashing on the cliffs in this place. The tidal bore, which thunders day and night, is like beating a drum, so it is also called "deafening drum". At the southern tip of Shandong Province, where there is a drum base, there is a large natural cave, which was split with a rock axe and is 100 meters high. The cliffs on both sides form a door, which is called Brahma Cave. Among the many caves and valleys in Putuo Mountain that have been lamented as magical, the majestic momentum and steep cliffs of Brahma Cave are beyond the reach of other caves. Fanyin Cave is clear in mountains and clear in waters, and clear in Guizhou. Cangya stands tall. A few feet away from the top of the cliff, there is a horizontal stone like a bridge embedded in the cave waist, just like Baoyu in the mouth of the Black Dragon. There is a stone platform between the two steep walls, on which there is a double-layer Buddhist niche called "Buddha Pavilion". Anyone who wants to see Brahma Cave must first detour down the stone steps from the top of the cliff and then come to Foguang Pavilion. It is said that what everyone sees here is a different Buddha, and even the same person will change with it, which is extremely strange. This place is also the best place to watch the tide in Brahma Cave. Buddha bends the sea, waves beat Malik, dragons sing and tigers roar day and night. The people who heard it were all thrilling. At this time, Buddhist believers are willing to worship at the mouth of the cave and pray for the emergence of Guanyin Bodhisattva. In the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1699), the forehead of the imperial book "Fanyin Cave" hung here.
