I don't want to stay in this noisy city. Last night, a large transport vehicle disturbed me all night, and I didn't sleep much.
In the morning, take a bus to Huangmei, which takes 2 hours by car. It's a high speed, and sometimes you can see continuous yellow flowers, especially rape blossoms, and skip the cottage.
Dahuangmei, an ancient county with dusty and narrow streets, is the birthplace of Huangmei Opera, which originated in the Qing Dynasty. Huangmei Opera was originally a folk tea-picking song in Anhui, and later spread in Anqing, which was very prosperous at that time. It was said that there were also tea gardens in the nearby mountains.
in the afternoon, take bus No.2 from the county seat, go to Wuzu Temple, take 1 yuan, get to the foot of the mountain, and then transfer to the taxi 1 yuan to get to the front of the temple. The temple was built on the hillside, and it takes 4 kilometers to walk. The temple is solemn, but the noise inside is rumbling, and a forklift is removing bricks. -"Building a big building" is rolling from the world of mortals to the quiet Zen forest. What can we do? ! In the temple, the white orchid tree is in full bloom, and the five ancestors' real body temple has been visited. This place is the place where Zen started, and this temple is famous all over the world.
the fifth ancestor, hongren (66-675), was a monk in the Tang dynasty, with a common surname of Zhou, and was born in Huangmei county. He became a monk at the age of 7. He was the main founder of Zen Buddhism and cultivated the wind of epiphany, which spread to Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia, and later spread to Huineng. The characteristics of Zen Buddhism are "sitting quietly, not writing down the text, saying that it is mysterious, and silently accepting others".
In the Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu visited Wuzu Temple, leaving a poem:
"When it's warm in the sun, the East Mountain will go away, and the Songmen will incline for several miles.
secluded people in the mountains are interesting, and the bells and drums are at the home of the Vatican king.
the spring festival is late, and the wind is clear and the things are beautiful.
the clouds and light are gradually accommodating, and the birds are already mixed.
the spring under the ice first moved, and the tea in the smoke did not sprout.
Self-pity for the sick, but I didn't want to blossom "(Wuzu Temple)
When the poet came, the season should be the first month. It was warm and cold here at first, but the spring air had begun to melt ice on the hillside.
the mountain road is far away, and the rape flowers are contiguous under the mountain, which is very beautiful, like a paradise in heaven, falling to other countries, "the scenery is always on the road". In the city where we arrived, the scenery turned into "dust and mud".
When you ask for directions and rent a car in the town at the foot of Wuzu Temple, you are all kind. You may be influenced by the Buddhist customs, but you don't see the fierceness along the way in Hubei. This place is also the border of Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces. You can imagine the prosperity of this place in the Ming and Qing Dynasties with the old streets.
Huangmei also has a railway. After the Beijing-Kowloon line was opened to traffic in 1997, it took a section of the eastern Hubei line and passed through Wuxue, Ezhou, Huanggang.
Huangmei, this place name is beautiful and poetic. Is it because there is a kind of Huangmei tree? I asked a few people, but I don't know. I'd rather believe it. It makes people think more because of Huangmei Opera. I also think that rape flowers everywhere in spring have some connection with this.
I think that the poets of ancient poetry, in dealing with the world contradictions, firstly, "cross it", that is, "walk the Wan Li Road", such as those of Li Du and Tang and Song Dynasties, and secondly, "transcend it", that is, "climb high on the top of the mountain and walk deep under the sea", and rise to the religious level of Buddhism.
staying in front of Huangmei bus station at night, the hotel is wet, listening to the rain for a long time, and the quilt seems to be very damp, because the room has not been dry for a long time. Where do wild birds call in the rain at night?
In the morning of March 25, 214, Huangmei County, Hubei Province, I ate noodles in the rain, which was spicy.
After a short stay in the rain, take a bus from the county to Sizu Temple, the fare is 3 yuan, then transfer to Dahe Town, and take a taxi to 1 yuan to climb the mountain. It's misty and misty in the rain.
the gate of the fourth ancestral temple is old and solemn, and the mountains are lush and quiet (as long as there is no noise), which is a change of scenery. There is a Buddhist college inside, and there are many students. The monks filed into the dining hall silently. There is a large book circulation office in the temple. The whole temple occupies a considerable area of forest, and the gardens are neat and orderly, which shows that it has always been well managed. The temple also has a Buddhist journal and website, and most of the monks are very young.
I went out of the temple and climbed the mountain for a long time. I saw the Pilu Tower, which I saw in the Dictionary of Places of Interest in China in the 198s. I have been admiring it for a long time, but it is unique today. It was built in the Tang Dynasty and has gone through many vicissitudes, but it still stands on the mountainside. The scenery of the four mountains is beautiful, birds are singing, and spring peaches are blooming. Many trees have begun to be completely green, from early spring to mid-spring
The abbot of Sizu Temple is Elder Jinghui, who is the vice chairman of the National Buddhist Association and an elder of the famous Bailin Temple in Hebei Province, and later passed away here in his later years. It seems that the good governance of this temple may be related to monks and inheritance.
Sit quietly for an hour under the Pilu Tower and watch the mountains. This tower has the architectural atmosphere of the Han Dynasty, and it is vigorous and boundless. Rare.
The people who come back to see the grave, in twos and threes, are approaching the Qingming Festival. They have to sacrifice and sweep until the Qingming Festival is over. In this area, paper flowers are used to place graves, burning incense but not offering fruit.
At about 14 o'clock in the afternoon, I returned to the county town to eat rice and crock soup, and one can of 6 yuan was enough for one person to drink. This soup is a local specialty, and there are more than ten kinds, such as lotus root soup, sparerib soup, radish soup, yam soup, jujube soup, etc., all of which are accompanied by gravy soup, which is steamed in a huge steamer (big iron pot), slowly boiled and charcoal. After drinking sweat, it is healthy and comfortable, and civilians can afford it.
Many migrant workers in this area have returned to their hometowns to chat. Some of them have been working outside for 2 or 2 years, and they are doing well. They buy houses in the county town, saying that their hometown is better. At first, they liked big cities, and they went to Guangdong, Beijing and Shanghai. Now they think their hometown is the best.
It's said that rape blossoms are the most popular season in the last week, and it won't last for more than ten days. It's not so prosperous.
spend the night in wuya temple,
raise your hand and ask the stars.
Don't speak loudly,
I'm afraid I'll surprise people. (Li Bai's "Sleeping at Wuya Temple")
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai visited Huangmei County, Hubei Province, and this poem was written in the nearby Nanshan Lingjiu Peak.
In the evening, I read Zhengjue, a publication of Sizu Temple, and Zen, a publication of Bailin Temple. Some Buddhist publications are also very literary, among which articles and poems are excellent.
