This title was not given by the world today, but was officially sealed as "Lu Yue" by Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor. Shortly after Emperor Chengzu ascended the throne, Zhu Di even issued an imperial edict, announcing that the vast area of "Five Old Peaks in the east, Bai Yunfeng in the south, Maanshan in the west and lecture halls in the north" was turned into a royal forbidden area, which also made Lushan famous in ancient times.
Despite historical reasons, Lushan Mountain is only1.474m above sea level, which is not prominent among the mountains in China. But its natural scenery and profound cultural connotation are enough to make it occupy a place in the famous mountains.
Maybe you know that Nanchang, Jiangxi is one of the four cities with stoves in China, but you don't know that Guling Town on Lushan Mountain was called "cool capital" by Europeans 100 years ago and became a summer resort.
Maybe you know the Three thousands of feet by Li Bai, but you don't know the True Face of Lushan Mountain by Su Dongpo, but you don't know that more than 3,500 scholars have written more than16,000 poems for Lushan Mountain in history.
Maybe you know the Tolin Temple in Lushan Mountain, but you don't know that there are more than 500 temples in history. In its heyday, five major religions, including Catholicism, Buddhism and Taoism, entered Lushan Mountain, forming the spectacle that "the five religions are hidden in one mountain and cannot be found all over the world".
Because of this, Lushan became the first famous mountain in China to be selected as a "World Cultural Landscape Heritage". In addition to summer, Lushan Mountain is also full of surprises, romantic mountain flowers in spring, dyed forests in autumn and white clothes in winter.
There are three main roads leading to Lushan Mountain: Beishan Highway, Nanshan Highway and Haohanpo. Most tourists will choose to take the shuttle bus from Jiujiang Bus Terminal to Guling Town, a semi-demon town in Lushan Mountain, which is more labor-saving. If you have good feet, you can naturally choose to climb the heroic slope and blend in with Lushan Mountain. One is to experience the fun of rock climbing, and the other is to explore secluded places in ancient places.
When I came to Lushan in late summer and early autumn, the autumn tiger was still in power, but I felt cool on the mountain. The weather is changeable halfway up the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, it suddenly began to rain on a sunny day. Rain makes the trees moist and bright, and also makes the mountain look like a misty fairyland.
Lushan Mountain Scenic Area is centered on Guling Mountain. In fact, it is not accurate to say that Lushan is a mountain, it is more like a small mountain city. One hundred years ago, Europeans first developed Lushan Mountain and built more than 300 villas in Guling. Now, there are more than 10,000 local people living there. The streets are bustling with businesses, restaurants, hotels, cinemas and libraries. And it is a veritable "mountain city in the clouds." This is unique in any famous mountain in China. Almost everyone who has been to Lushan Mountain will leave admiration for Guling Mountain, except for its beautiful scenery.
The scenery around Ku is divided into two parts: the West Valley and the East Valley. The West Valley is dominated by natural landscapes, including flower diameter, Jinxiu Valley and Fairy Cave. Huajing is the seat of Dalin Temple, and it is also the place where Bai Juyi recited "April is the end of the world, peach blossoms in mountain temples".
The name of Ruqin Lake, not far from Huadao, is intoxicating, not to mention the charming scenery. Jinxiu Valley is famous for its suspended "overpass". Fairy Cave is a legendary monastery in Lv Dongbin and one of the famous Taoist temples at home and abroad.
The East Valley is dominated by cultural landscapes, including beautiful villas, villas from various countries and Lushan Museum. All live here. Beautiful house villa, once the official residence of Song Jiang and Song Jiang, has now maintained its original appearance, showing the world a dusty memory for many years.
Outside full of green, the environment is quiet and pleasant. Lushan Museum is located near Lushan Lake. There are many works of art on display in the museum, including articles about Chairman Mao's life in that year. There is a stone tablet in this park.
Take a bus from Jiujiang to Xing Zi, get off at the intersection of Bailudong Academy, and then walk for more than 20 minutes to the entrance of the Academy. Hidden under the towering trees, Bailudong Academy, together with Hengyang Shigu Academy, Changsha Yuelu Academy and Shangqiu Yingtian Academy, ranks first among the "Four Great Academies in China" with a history of more than 1,000 years.
Ludong Academy was called "Lushan Guo Xue" in the Southern Dynasties, and it flourished for a while. It was changed to its current name in the Northern Song Dynasty and gradually declined in the later period. After a hundred years of neglect, Zhu revived the academy with his own efforts, created a precedent for giving lectures in ancient academies, and wrote the earliest educational laws and regulations in the history of world education.
It can be said that it provides a true memory for the growth of China's national culture. Walking in the quiet academy, you can see the blue tile powder makeup when you look up, which makes this magnificent hall look solemn and indifferent.
Although Tolin Temple has become a world-famous tourist attraction, you can still feel the purity of Buddhism for thousands of years when you come here. Besides being the birthplace of Pure Land Sect and the tallest Buddha statue in the world, there are many cultural relics in the temple.
From Yuan Gong in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and Xi 'an Translation Station, which translated Confucian classics in the Western Regions, to the Romance of Lushan Mountain inscribed by Kang Youwei in the late Qing Dynasty, the time span exceeded 1000. Every monument contains a historical story, which is rich in cultural heritage and attracts many people to worship Buddha in the temple.
