This title was not given by the world today, but was officially named "Lu Yue" by Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty. Soon after Judy ascended the throne, she even announced by imperial edict that the vast area "east to Wulaofeng, south to Bai Yunfeng, west to Maanshan and north to the lecture hall" would be turned into a royal forbidden area, which also made Lushan famous in ancient times.
Although Lushan Mountain is only1.474m above sea level due to historical reasons, it is not outstanding among the mountains in China, but its natural scenery and profound cultural connotation are enough to make it occupy a place among the famous mountains.
Maybe you know that Nanchang, Jiangxi is one of the four cities with stoves in China, but you don't know that Guling Town on Lushan Mountain was called "cool capital" by Europeans 100 years ago and became a summer resort. Maybe you know that Li Bai's "thousands of feet flies over the eaves and walks over the walls" and Su Dongpo's "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain", but I don't know that more than 3,500 scholars have written more than16,000 poems for Lushan Mountain in history; Maybe you know the Tolin Temple in Lushan Mountain, but you don't know that there are more than 500 temples in history. In its heyday, five major religions, including Catholicism, Buddhism and Taoism, entered Lushan Mountain, forming a spectacle that "the five religions are hidden in one mountain and cannot be found all over the world" ......
Because of this, Lushan became the first famous mountain in China to be selected as a "World Cultural Landscape Heritage". Lushan Mountain is not only a summer resort, but also a surprise with its romantic flowers in spring, dyed forests in autumn and white clothes in winter. There are three main roads leading to Lushan Mountain: Beishan Highway, Nanshan Highway and Haohanpo. Most tourists will choose to take the shuttle bus at Jiujiang Bus Terminal and go directly to Guling Town, the semi-demon town of Lushan Mountain, which is more labor-saving. If you have good footwork, you can naturally choose to climb Haohanpo to blend in with Lushan Mountain. On the one hand, you can experience the pleasure of mountain climbing; on the other hand, you can go sightseeing in Gu Xun.
I came to Lushan in late summer and early autumn, when tigers were still raging, but I felt cool in the mountains. The weather in the mountains is changeable. In the middle of climbing the mountain, it suddenly began to rain on a sunny day, which made the trees wet and bright, and also made the mountain city Guling look like a fairyland.
Lushan Mountain Scenic Area is centered on Guling Mountain. In fact, it is not accurate to say that Lushan Mountain is a mountain. It's more like a small mountain city. One hundred years ago, Europeans first developed Lushan Mountain and built more than 300 villas in Guling. Now, there are more than 65,438+00,000 local people living in this street. There are restaurants, hotels, cinemas, libraries and so on. It is a veritable "mountain city in the clouds". This is unique in any famous mountain in China. Almost everyone who has been to Lushan Mountain will leave the admiration except the beautiful scenery to Guling Town.
The scenery around Guling Mountain is divided into two parts: the West Valley and the East Valley. The West Valley is dominated by natural landscapes, and the famous ones are Huadao, Jinxiu Valley and Xianren Cave. Huajing is the seat of Dalin Temple, and it is also the place where Bai Juyi recites that "the beauty of the world is in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom". The name of Ruqin Lake beside the flower path is intoxicating, and the scenery is even more beautiful. Splendid Valley is surprised by the suspended "overpass". Fairy Cave is a legendary monastic place in Lv Dongbin, and it is also one of the famous Taoist temples at home and abroad.
Donggu boasts a rich culture, and beautiful villas, villas of all countries and Lushan Museum all live here. The beautiful villa, which used to be the summer resort of Jiang and Song Dynasties, now maintains its original appearance and shows the world the memories that have been dusty for many years. The exterior is full of lush green trees and pine trees, and the environment is quiet and pleasant. Lushan Museum is located near Lushan Lake. There are many works of art on display in the museum, including those that Chairman Mao lived in. There is a poem monument garden at Lake Bridge, which is also the place where the protagonists meet, swim and hug in the movie romance on lushan mountain.
From 65438 to 0928, after visiting Lushan Mountain, Hu Shi put forward that "the three sites of Lushan Mountain represent three major trends", including Guling, Bailudong Academy and Tolin Temple. Except that Guling Mountain is on Lushan Mountain, the other two places are located in the south of Wulaofeng Mountain and 50 kilometers east of Guling Street, which are places you can't miss when you come to Lushan Mountain.
Take a bus from Jiujiang to Xing Zi, get off at the intersection of Bailudong Academy, and then walk for more than 20 minutes to reach the entrance of the Academy. Hidden under the towering trees, Bailudong Academy, together with Hengyang Shigu Academy, Changsha Yuelu Academy and Shangqiu Yingtian Academy, ranks first among the "Four Great Academies in China" with a history of 1000 years.
Bailudong Academy was called "Guo Xue of Lushan Mountain" in the Southern Dynasty, which flourished for a while, changed to its current name in the Northern Song Dynasty, and gradually declined in the later period. After being left out in the cold for a hundred years, Zhu revived the academy on his own, initiated the meeting of ancient academies, and wrote the earliest educational regulations in the history of world education. It can be said that it provides a true memory for the growth of China culture. Walking in the quiet academy, you can see the blue tiles and powder, which makes this magnificent hall look solemn and quite indifferent.
Although Tolin Temple has become a world-famous tourist attraction, you can still experience the purity of Buddhism for thousands of years when you come here. In addition to being the birthplace of Pure Land Sect, it has the highest Buddha statue in the world, and there are many cultural relics in the temple. From Yuan Gong's translation desk in Xi 'an in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, to the Confucian classics in the Western Regions, and then to Kang Youwei's inscription "Liu Gongquan's Remnants" in the late Qing Dynasty, the time span is over a thousand years, and each monument contains a historical allusion, which is very rich in cultural heritage and attracts many people to worship Buddha in the temple.
