Chongqing is called "Bayu", Chongqing has always been the abbreviation of Chongqing, for a long time has been called Yuzhou, this is easier to understand, so what is the explanation of "Ba"? In fact, in addition to being related to the previous princely states of Ba, it is also because Chongqing is at the intersection of "Bashan" and "Yushui", and Bashan has been recorded as early as the "Yellow Emperor's Inner Classic", but what really makes "Bashan" famous is the famous work "Night Rain Sent to the North" by the Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin: "The return date of the Junwen is not in date, and the night rain in Bashan rises in the autumn pool." He Dang cut the candle in the west window together, but when it rains at night in Bashan", this familiar verse also makes bashan well-known.
Many people know "Bashan", but they don't know where Bashan is, in fact, Li Shangyin's Bashan is Jinyun Mountain in Beibei, Chongqing today. Bashan has a long history, as early as 70 million years ago, the "Yanshan Movement" has appeared, so why did Bashan change its name to Jinyun Mountain? Because this mountain has been cloudy for many years, but it is not a white cloud, and in the morning and evening it is easy to appear in the clouds of The red and purple, the clouds are colorful, the ancients called "red more white less" for "Jin", so it is also called "Jinyun Mountain".
Jinyun Mountain is composed of nine peaks, from north to south are Asahi Peak, Xianglu Peak, Lion Peak, Juyun Peak, Ape Roar Peak, Lotus Peak, Pagoda Peak, Jade Peak and Xizhao Peak, the altitude is not too high, to the Jade Peak, the altitude is also 1050 meters, this height of mountaineering will not be too tired, there will be no altitude sickness, for most people can be accepted, so it has been a favorite place since ancient times.
In fact, Jinyun Mountain is still the surrounding famous Foshan, and even can be compared with Sichuan Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain, known as "three famous religious mountains in Shu", that is because the nine peaks actually towered jinyun temple, hot spring temple, baiyun temple, Shaolong temple, fuxing temple, Shihua temple and other eight ancient temples, especially Jinyun temple, it not only has a long history of thousands of years built in the first year of Liu Song Jingping in the southern dynasty, but also the only ancient Buddhist dojo in China, although the existing temple was built by the Qing Dynasty. However, it still has extraordinary significance, and it can be called a Buddhist holy place.
In addition, Jinyun Mountain has other rich cultural resources, as mentioned earlier, Jinyun Mountain has been a favorite place of the surrounding people since ancient times, and the previous literati and scholars will "visit here" to punch in, in addition to the just mentioned Li Shangyin's famous work "Night Rain Sends North", there are also late Tang Dynasty stone walls, Ming Dynasty stone arches and Song Dynasty stone carvings and other monuments in the mountains, which are very precious.
In addition to the historical and religious status, Jinyun Mountain up to 96.6% of the forest coverage rate also makes the mountain air particularly fresh, even if there is no relevant faith, many surrounding residents regard this as a good place for weekend leisure and entertainment, after all, in the urban forest for a long time, or want to go to the depths of the mountain to wash a lung trip, not to mention that here in the Beibei City is not far, there is no problem at all on the day.
Although there have been some unpleasant things here, such as in 2014 for the substandard level and reported criticism, 15 years and given a yellow card warning, but still a good place to travel, after all, more than ten dollars of tickets can be cheaper than most scenic spots, what do you think?
