The Five Buddhas Peak in Qianshan Mountain, Anshan City, is the second highest peak after Xianrentai, with an altitude of 554.12 meters, named after the five stone Buddhas set on top of the top.

It is also said that its peak resembles the head of the Buddha, known as the Buddha's Head Mountain. When did the ancient stone Buddha begin without evidence, the legend of the story is still related to the emperor, according to legend, Tang Taizong Li Shimin conquered Goguryeo, stationed in a thousand mountains, a day with a monk to travel, overlooking this, marvel at the steep mountain, ask the monk what is the name of this peak? Monk answers, Buddha Head Mountain. Emperor Taizong laughed and said nothing, half a cloud, the name is Buddha's head mountain, no Buddha is on the top of the mountain, why not invite the Buddha to prove the real Buddha Mountain. The leader ridiculed that this mountain was called Buddha's Head Mountain, where there were Buddhas, if you invited the Buddha to this place, it would be worthy of the name. When the leader speaks, what about the subordinates? Needless to say. However, they mistakenly heard "no Buddha" as "five Buddhas" and "real Buddha" as "stone Buddhas", so the five zen forests of the Thousand Mountains each ordered a disciple to travel thousands of miles from the Shaolin Temple in Henan to transport the five Buddhas to stand on the Buddha Head Mountain, and the Buddha Head Mountain was renamed the Five Buddhas Peak from then on. Legends and stories, of course, are appended.
A steep stone path leading to the summit of the Five Buddhas.
The peak of the Five Buddhas is steep, and in ancient times, it was full of dangers. On the top of the cliff of the dripping water, the mountain is chiseled, the secluded path is hidden, and the stone bricks are spiraling upwards layer by layer, stepping in the air, only one body, and the steps are frightening, and only then can they be landed. Above the top, you can see the mountains and mountains, the waves of the pine sea, and from time to time there are big birds flying by, which is a glimpse of the sky, which only increases the sense of desolation. The 1928 edition of the "Liaoyang County Chronicle" said: "This Shanxi looks at the Wulu Mountain, looks at the White Pagoda of Liaoyang in the north, and looks at the Fengxiu Mountains in the southeast, with an unobstructed view, and its height can be imagined." ”
Five Buddhas on top of the cliff.
This statement is a bit exaggerated, but the peak danger and Songqi at the top of the Five Buddhas are absolutely true! There is a poem cloud "The five Buddhas are at the peak of the peak, and they are majestic and do not count years." Ling Fei shocked the netherworld and sat down to force the heavens. Spring green cliff side trees, Kasumi red seat on the lotus. When to reach the top, nourish the strength to the fullest", this poem was composed by Xu Chunhao, a member of the Enke Department in the nineteenth year of Guangxu (1893) and a man of the Yellow Banner of Liaoyang garrisoning Mongolia.
The five Buddhas are all in full view.
With such a steep mountain, how did the ancients enshrine five huge stone Buddhas on top? There is a legend that the five stone Buddhas on top of the five Buddhas are not carved from the stone of a thousand mountains, but the stones of his mountain. This bird path, with its steep walls, is carried by the monk Pu'an of Longquan Temple with his miraculous skills. I will introduce the Pu'an monks and the Pu'an Temple under the five Buddhas in future articles.

According to the "Chronicle of Qianhua Mountain" written by Liu Weihua, a well-known scholar in modern Liaoyang, neither the Old Zhishu nor the Pu'an Pagoda Inscription of the Twenty-ninth Year of the Ming Wanli Calendar (1601) did not see the name of the Five Buddhas Peak, and the name of the Five Buddha Peaks only began to appear during the Qianlong period. Between 1930 and 1933, Mr. Liu visited a thousand mountains dozens of times, painstakingly and painstakingly, leaving behind many precious historical materials, and lamented that "only three Buddhas exist today. "Over the years, with the glory of the day, even hard stones will collapse and disappear. There are also people who agree that the disappeared ancient stone Buddha has gone through many disasters, cultivated into positive results, and flew away, which is nonsense.
Overlooking the Summit of the Five Buddhas.
The historical context extends, and the inscription of the twenty-fifth year of Qing Guangxu (1899) records that "only three of the five Buddhas remain, because the two statues are reconstructed." The monument was erected by the famous Liaoyang scholar Feng Yinshu, whose incense traveled to the top of the Five Buddhas in a thousand mountains, and at that time there were only three ancient Buddhas left, so he set out to worship two to supplement the five Buddhas. In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China (1928), the "Liaoyang County Chronicle" said: "Only four statues remain. According to Taoists, one of them is the bear pushing down the mountain. And the warlord of the Republic of China, that is, Chen Xingya, who is well known as the inscription Wall Heavenly Heaven "Turning Danger into Destruction" Cliff, said in the travelogue of the fifteenth year of the Republic of China (1926) that "the original stone Buddha is three, and the new stone Buddha is two." The two descriptions are clearly contradictory. Deliberately, the 1928 edition of the Liaoyang County Chronicle contains an account of the pre-1926 period and is published in 1928. According to this, there were at least two ancient stone Buddhas before 1928, and the one that was missing between 1926 and 1928 is not known whether it is an ancient Buddha or a new Buddha.
The latest five Buddhas shine brightly.
As the years passed, the vicissitudes of the sea and the mulberry fields, the twists and turns, needless to say, the first five ancient Buddhas have long since disappeared. Today, everyone has once again climbed to the top of the Five Buddhas, and the five Buddhas we see are the latest stone Buddhas enshrined in the contemporary era. Due to the lack of up-to-date information, it is not possible to determine the time of the establishment, but after comparison, it is found that the appearance of the 1991 ink jade Buddha enshrined in the previous relevant materials seems to be very new, and it will be supplemented or corrected after the information has been collected, and it is also a correction to the description in the video. Cangshan mountains and pines, long stone paths, time and space changes, time and shadow, even hard rocks will weather and collapse, relative to the vast river of time, why are we not a grain of dust at the end?
