Jiuhua Mountain is located in Qingyang County, Chizhou City, AnhuiProvince. It is an important tourist attraction in the world and an importantBuddhist temple in the world. Liu Yuxi, a writer of the Tang Dynasty, praisedJiuhua Mountain after climbing it. He thought that the famous mountains in theworld could not compete with Jiuhua Mountain. Li Bai went to Mount Jiuhua threetimes. Jiuhua Mountain is characterized by beautiful mountains and numerousBuddhist temples. This famous mountain has accumulated a lot of historicalculture since the Han Dynasty and is known as the "Lotus Buddha kingdom". Today,let's take a look at this "Lotus Buddha kingdom".
Dear friends, at the moment, our location is Jiuhua street, 600 metersabove sea level, which is the reception center of the whole mountain. Walkingalong the street, we come to the main temple of Jiuhua Mountain_ Huachengtemple, according to the Buddhist scriptures, once Sakyamuni and his discipleswent to the countryside to preach. After a long walk, the disciples were hungryand thirsty, and could not sit up. At this time, the Buddha pointed to the frontand said, "there is a city in front. Go to huazhai quickly.". The apprenticeimmediately came to the spirit. In fact, the so-called Huacheng comes from theEnlightenment of Buddha.
In addition, before entering the temple, we should pay attention to thefollowing points: first, when entering the temple, we should step across thethreshold. The threshold of the temple is the shoulder of the Buddha, so we mustnot step on it. Second, we should not make loud noises or bring jokes from theworld of mortals into the temple. Third, please do not touch the monks' magicweapons at will. OK, let's go into Huacheng temple. Huacheng temple
After that, we come to the palace of the flesh. Please take a look at thewords on the flat forehead: the palace of the moon! Why is it called the palaceof the moon? Because in the past, the moon and the flesh were interchangeable,so now many words describing human body parts and organs will have a month nextto them.
The architecture of the hall of the flesh body is very distinctive, "thereare towers in the hall and tanks in the towers."; Jin qiaojue, the king ofTibetans, died at the age of 99 after 75 years of cultivation in Jiuhua Mountainin the 10th year of Yuanzhen of Tang Dynasty. Three years later, when he openedthe jar, his body was soft and his face looked like a living one. The sound of agolden lock shook his bony joints. According to the Buddhist scriptures, he wasa Bodhisattva, so he was honored as the Bodhisattva of Tibetans.
Walking into the hall of the body, you can see the great wish of the earthhanging on the lintel: all living beings will pass through, and the Bodhisattvadike will be proved; the hell will not be empty, and the oath will not become aBuddha. Therefore, the Bodhisattva of Tibet is also known as the great wishBodhisattva. I believe that with the blessing of the great wish Bodhisattva, youmust have good luck in the future.
Jiuhua scenery is on the roof. Tiantai peak is the main peak of JiuhuaMountain, with an altitude of more than 1300 meters. There is a saying that "ifyou don't get on the roof, you don't come.".

Looking from afar, heaven and earth areintegrated, and the Yangtze River is indistinctly visible. The clear mountainwind brings waves of pines and bamboos, which makes people intoxicated. Thesurrounding rocks are strange in shape and mostly dark. There is a huge stoneengraved with the word "non human". At this moment, it really makes people feellike they are in the fairyland of Penglai. It is said that watching the sunriseon the rooftop is no less magnificent than watching the sunrise on Mount Tai.Therefore, "Tiantai xiaori" is listed as one of the "ten sceneries ofJiuhua".
