Reborn Tang Emperor Li Chengqian

Chapter 480 Xilin Temple

Not long after the Jiangzhou officials left, a maid came and whispered in Wang Quan's ear, and Wang Quan came to Li Chengqian's side after hearing this.

"Everyone! The dormitory has been tidied up! Please move everyone to bed." Wang Quan said.

"En!" Li Chengqian got up, and Wang Quan hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

"Everyone! Tomorrow, when we go to Lushan Mountain for a tour, do you want your servants to prepare one or two, and let the Jiangzhou governor and the others go to open the way first, so as not to startle the holy car with something inconspicuous." Wang Quan asked.

The emperor's outing is a big event. In addition to clearing the venue in advance, various preparations must be made, especially the security work, which is the most important thing.

If assassins were allowed to sneak in, or something else broke in and disturbed the emperor, it would be a capital crime of beheading.

"No need! I'm going to visit Mount Lu tomorrow. I don't intend to mobilize people. Tomorrow I'm going to go on tour in modest clothes. Too many people will go and disturb my mood." Li Chengqian refused.

"Your servant understands!" Wang Quan replied, helping Li Chengqian to rest in the bedroom.

After a night of silence, the next morning, when Li Chengqian got up early in the morning, after having breakfast, he dressed up in disguise, left the palace and headed towards Lushan Mountain.

Li Chengqian went to Mount Lu this time not only to look for Yunwu tea, but also to see how beautiful the scenery of Mount Lu is.

Surprisingly, more than [-] literary giants, including Sima Qian, including Tao Yuanming, Li Bai, Bai Juyi, and Su Shi, visited Lushan Mountain, leaving more than [-] poems and songs to express Lushan Mountain.

Lushan Mountain, also known as Kuangshan and Kuanglu, is located in Jiangzhou, with Wuyuan and Poyang Lake in the east, Tengwang Pavilion in the south, and the surging Yangtze River in the north.

It is about 25 kilometers long and 470 kilometers wide. The main peak, Hanyang Peak, is [-] meters above sea level.The mountain is oval in shape, a typical horst-type fault-block mountain.

Lushan Mountain is famous for its majesty, strangeness, danger and beauty. It is known as "Kuanglu Qixiu is the best in the world". There are many clouds and fog in Lushan Mountain, and the annual average foggy days reach 190 days.

What's even more strange is that the clouds and mists in Mount Lushan come and go and change unpredictable all the year round, which adds wonderful scenery to Mount Lushan and makes people feel like they are among the clouds and mists.

It's no wonder that Su Shi, a famous writer, calligrapher, and painter in the Northern Song Dynasty, said in a poem: "I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because I am in this mountain."

When it comes to Lushan Mountain, you have to mention Lushan Waterfall. The poet Li Bai wrote a poem about the Lushan Waterfall, which has been sung through the ages.

In short, the beauty of Lushan Mountain can only be truly appreciated by yourself.

Li Chengqian and his party came to the foot of Lushan Mountain, looked up at Lushan Mountain, and saw that Lushan Mountain was hidden in the clouds and mist, giving people a feeling of emptiness.

"My lord! Most of Mount Lu is shrouded in clouds and mist throughout the year. As long as you climb Mount Lu, you will feel like you are in a fairyland." The governor of Jiangzhou in disguise explained Mount Lu to Li Chengqian.

The emperor went on a tour in micro-clothes and was lucky enough to visit Lushan Mountain. As the governor of Jiangzhou, he naturally had to accompany him in person.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go and climb the mountain." Li Chengqian said, and began to climb the mountain.

A group of people came to the top of the mountain to look down at the mountains, looking at the mountains surrounded by clouds and mist, they really felt like they were in a fairyland.

Seeing this situation, Li Chengqian couldn't help but want to recite a poem, and he opened his mouth and said: "Looking horizontally, it looks like mountains and peaks, with different heights, near and far. I don't know the true face of Lushan Mountain, only because I am in this mountain. "

As soon as this poem came out, everyone was amazed.

Why is this poem so familiar? Yes, this is one of the ancient poems in the textbooks of later generations, and it is one of the works of Su Shi, a famous writer in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Li Chengqian once again shamelessly plagiarized other people's works. Anyway, now Su Shi is not even a tadpole. Even Su Shi's parents and grandfather have not been seen yet. So what if he plagiarized?
Li Chengqian is not worried at all whether he can still beat him.

What's more, in this situation, only this poem is suitable for reading at this stall.

"Okay! What a great poem!" Jiangzhou Governor and the others felt amazed after hearing this. This poem's description of Mount Lushan is really apt.

The governor of Jiangzhou hurriedly ordered someone to record this poem, and he wanted to keep it as a family heirloom.

"I'm tired after walking for so long! Find a place to rest your feet." Li Chengqian said.

After the pretense is over and the applause and cheers have been received, it is time to find a place to rest and then go to the next scenic spot.

"This subordinate knows that there is a place to rest." Jiangzhou Inspector said.

"Where is it, is it far from here?" Wang Quan asked.

If it's too far, it's better to find a place to rest on the spot, there's no need to run so far.

"It's not far, only three or 40 meters away from here. It's a temple. This temple is the largest temple in Lushan Mountain. It's very clean there. Anyone who comes to Lushan Mountain to worship the Buddha should go to Xilin Temple."

"The incense in this temple is the most prosperous among all the temples in Lushan Mountain." Said the governor of Jiangzhou.

"Okay! Let's go to the temple you mentioned, what is the name of this temple?" Li Chengqian said.

"Xilin Temple!" Jiangzhou Inspector said.

"Xilin Temple?" Li Chengqian said.

"Yes!" Jiangzhou Inspector said.

"Then let's go to Xilin Temple!" Li Chengqian nodded and said, and everyone went to Xilin Temple.

Li Chengqian knew about this Xilin Temple. This temple was built in the second year of Taihe in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was founded by Tao Fan, the Minister of the Taifu, and it was the first temple in Beishan of Lushan Mountain.

There is a wall in Xilin Temple. Many literati who came to Mount Lu and visited Xilin Temple like to leave their marks on it.

It's similar to someone visiting here, but these literati are more elegant.

After Su Shi in the Northern Song Dynasty visited Lushan Mountain and arrived at Xilin Temple, he saw the wall where ancient literati calligraphy treasures were left, and he suddenly became excited. On a whim, he also wrote a very philosophical poem on this wall. This poem is said to be famous. "Tixi Linbi" is a famous poem through the ages.

Huiyuan, a famous eminent monk in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, presided over here for 30 years. Huiyuan, an eminent monk, lived here when he first came to Lushan.

Later, Huiyuan built a new temple to the east of Xilin Temple with the support of the governor of Jiangzhou.

The temple is named Donglin Temple, so named because it is east of Xilin Temple.

Donglin Temple was built in the ninth year of the Yuan Dynasty in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It is one of the temples with a long history on Mount Lu. Donglin Temple is the birthplace of the Pure Land Sect of Buddhism.

From the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the present Datang, both the Donglin Temple and the Xilin Temple are still very popular.

These two temples are holy places in the hearts of countless monks. Every day, there will be an endless stream of believers who come to offer incense and worship Buddha.

Even when the Tang Dynasty severely suppressed Buddhism, the temples here were still prosperous and never lost.

When Li Chengqian and his party came to Xilin Temple, they saw many believers coming in and out of Xilin Temple.

Among them are ordinary people and dignitaries. No matter what their status is in the world of mortals, they are all believers in men and women here.
