On the second day of the first lunar month, the two of us drove to the Jinshan Scenic Area in Juye County.
Jinshan is located in Dushan Town, southeast of Juye County. Jinshan is known as the "first mountain in the world", is a well-known historical and cultural mountain, belongs to the remnants of Mount Taishan, and is said to be called the sister three mountains together with Mount Tai and Mount Yi.
We drove for more than an hour and came to the parking lot outside the mountain gate of Jinshan Scenic Area. Buy a ticket to enter the mountain gate, and you will be greeted by a statue of a golden bull in the golden mountain. Along the slope of the road, you will visit many natural caves such as Our Lady Spring, Shenshui Spring, Qilin Cave, Dragon tiger cave, Golden Bull Cave, jade rabbit cave and so on. On the hillside above the cave there is a statue of a unicorn soaring clouds, which is lifelike and realistic.
Ancient golden mountains, dense forests, dengdao back, temple saga, gushing springs trickling. There are more than 20 original ancient buildings in Jinshan, according to the county records. Kangxi rebuilt Jinshan for 40 years, "Xi imitation Dai system", that is, according to the architectural layout of Mount Tai. From the West Road to the mountain, the climb is in order of Xiaohongmen, Zhongtianmen, Xiaotianjie, and South Tianmen. At the foot of the southern mountain, there is a shrine of the gods, a pavilion of the gods, a shrine of Taishan in the north, a pavilion of the Queen Mother, and a cliff on the mountain, each holding a terrain; There are also Wenchang Pavilion, Three Holy Temples, Kuixing Tower, Niuwang Temple, Theater Building and so on. In addition, there are more than 20 natural landscapes such as Jade Rabbit Cave, Golden Bull Cave, Bat Cave, Qizi Cave, Virgin Spring, Dragon and Tiger Cave, Shenshui Spring, and Jinshui Spring.
"The victory of the giant wilderness is in the Golden Mountain, and the victory of the Golden Mountain is the Cave of the Qin King". On the southern slope of the mountain, there is a large hole excavated by hand, commonly known as the Golden Mountain Cave, which is said to be the residence palace built by Qin Shi Huang when he toured Mount Taishan in the east, called the Summer Palace of Qin Shi Huang. It is also said that at the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, the king of Qin, led troops to conquest and once stopped here, so it was also called the Cave of the King of Qin. After investigation, this golden mountain cave is actually an unused abandoned tomb of Liu He, the king of Changyi in the Western Han Dynasty. The highest point of the stone wall is about 15 meters, such as splitting. The overall structure of the cave is strictly laid out, the work is neat, the work is amazing, and it is worthy of the "cave heaven and earth". According to the record, "The cave is warm in winter and cool in summer, the climate is pleasant, and the trickle of clear springs seeps out of the stone and hangs continuously." There is a poem carved on the cliff wall: "Yunkai mountain on the ground, raindrops in the middle of the sky, narrow vines and roses, cliff high sun and moon hanging", this is the true portrayal of the Golden Cave. There are more than 40 existing stone carvings on the two walls of this cave, which have high historical value and artistic value. For more than 2,000 years, successive generations of literati and inkers have left a large number of precious poetry and ink treasures on the cliffs, forming a quaint historical picture of the land of Qilu.
According to records, during the Song and Jin Dynasties, this place was once a Buddhist temple, and the incense was exuberant and enduring. The six characters above the cave gate are "Edict of The Great Ming Zen Temple", which was carved by Jin Dading for three years, and there is a stone Buddha statue in the cave, which was created by Yuan Taiding in the fourth year. Entering the cave, you will see the stone Buddha statue as a reclining Buddha, covered with yellow aya, about 6 or 7 meters long and about 90 centimeters high, with fine carvings and beautiful shapes.
The "Spring Dawn of the Golden Mountains, Yunxia of Qindong" in the Eight Views of Juye are all from the tomb of Liu He, the King of Changyi in the Han Dynasty, also known as the "Summer Cave of the King of Qin". In 1947, Liu Deng's army commanded the famous Battle of Yangshan at this cave. The summit of the North Mountain has a Taoist temple that was built during the Tang Dynasty, and the top of the South Mountain has a Golden Mountain Temple, thus forming the religious pattern of the South Buddha's North Road and showing the splendid religious culture of the Golden Mountain.
The vicissitudes of the sea, the passage of time. According to reports, the ancient buildings of Jinshan have been damaged in the historical wind and rain. In 1997, Mr. Xie Qingzhang, a local private entrepreneur, spent a lot of money to repair Jinshan, restored most of the original buildings, and added attractions such as the Chinese Taoist Temple and the Qilin Garden. Nowadays, Jinshan has become a famous tourist attraction in southwest Lu.
