Lotus Mountain, with eight peaks facing each other, like lotus blooming, embedded in the valley of Qilian Mountains. Buddha came to the west, sitting upright on the lotus platform, looking down at the fireworks of the world at the foot of the mountain, protecting a region of water and soil, an oasis, and also protecting 100,000 families in Liangzhou.
Why does a mountain have a connection with Buddha? How can a mountain be filled with Zen? What kind of culture does a mountain contain? Walking into Lianhua Mountain in Liangzhou, it is like finding the secrets left deep in the mountains, tracing the totems of ancient tribes, looking up at the culture of ancient times, it is like entering a holy Bodhi holy realm, allowing you to truly feel the magic of natural creation, and allowing your heart to flow with the ethereal Zen spirit.
Lianhua Mountain is located in Keqi Village, Songshu Town, Liangzhou District, Wuwei. It is thirteen kilometers west of Wuwei City. It runs northwest-southeast, with a radius of about five miles. It belongs to a section of Lenglongling Mountain in the Qilian Mountains of Hexi Corridor. It has been famous for its integration of Buddhism and Taoism in one mountain. Lianhua Mountain in Liangzhou, which has been washed by thousands of years of wind and rain, may have been forgotten by the world, but is now pursued by the world.
camel bells have passed away, and Buddha came with the sky horse again. The mountains are strange because they look like lotus, and the scenery is very different. The Buddha lives because of lotus, and preaches for thousands of years. The ancient trees are lush, the Zen meaning is deep, the incense is everywhere, and the tiles are as dark as black. It carries endless human relics and many beautiful myths and legends here.
Eight-petal Lotus Mountain The holy realm of the blending of Buddhism and Taoism
The lotus in the heavenly realm sheds the world, and Qilian brings out the wonders of the world. Lotus originates from nature, baptized by spring and autumn, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, thus having such spirituality as mountains, souls, water and souls. In the eyes of Buddha, every grass and every tree has feelings, and every flower and a leaf are always related to Zen. The Buddha lives in the place where he lives, even if he is at a loss, no grass will grow. Because of the Buddha's arrival, he will have Zen and compassion. The flowers fall silently, the flowing water does not speak, time flows, clouds and water have been flowing for thousands of years, so Lotus Mountain has become a paradise of Buddha and a temple for Zen.
magical legends always make people feel touched and pursued. According to ancient legend, in ancient times, the towering Qilian Mountains were covered with snow, desolate and lonely, birds and birds were not flying, and people were rarely visited. The immortal world connects Taoist and Yuanshi Wuzun (some say the white-clothed Bodhisattva) to choose a fairyland on earth, so they throw a thousand-year-old white lotus on Lingshan to the world, meaning that the white lotus descends to earth and all people turn over. Leaving the Three Thousand Heavens, drinking the Qilian snow water, the lotus blooms, bringing peace in the world and keeping peace in Liangzhou.
For thousands of years, Buddha and lotus have made close friends and live a quiet life. On the Lotus Mountain in Liangzhou, ten thousand Buddhas sit upright on the lotus platform, chanting scriptures and meditation, and enlightening sentient beings. The Buddha gave love to all living things wandering in the world, regardless of their high or low status. In order to avoid the suffering of all living beings, they will avoid the cycle of inaction. Once upon a time, Buddha traveled through the mountains and rivers of Liangzhou, fell in love with the coolness of the world, calm and comfortable, preached and saved, and began a long and clear soul dialogue with a lotus and stayed together forever.
Lotus has been in the fairy world for a long time and has long been spiritual. It floats with the white clouds and chooses a pure land on earth as a place to settle down. Finally, the lotus fell among the mountains on the northern foot of the Qilian Mountains and turned into the Lotus Mountain with strange peaks.Then Yuanshi Tianzun was not willing to fall behind, so he scattered flowers and plants in various shapes on Lotus Mountain, spreading clouds and sowing rain. The Lotus Mountain became bright and moist, the water became alive, and the grass grew, which also attracted various beasts such as phoenixes, peacocks, larks, tigers, deer, apes, etc. For a time, the white clouds of Lotus Mountain were lingering, the flowing water was gurgling, the forests were green, the fragrance of flowers, the birds were singing, the apes roared and the deer sang, and it became a fairyland on earth for both Buddha and Taoism.
There is another legend. Shakyamuni Buddha and Yuanshi Tianzun made an appointment and went to the Heavenly Palace to discuss matters with the Jade Emperor on the three realms. The two immortals came to the middle end of the Qilian Mountains in Liangzhou. They saw that the mountains were majestic, with strange peaks, deep ravines, and the surrounding dangerous peaks were arranged in an orderly manner, just like eight-petaled green lotus blooming. The mountains are lush with trees, the water flows in the mountains, and the fertile fields are thousands of miles below the mountains. The mountains are quiet and elegant, the scenery is beautiful, the fields are crisscross and wheat and millet are fragrant, just like the Buddha's patchwork robes. The two immortals sighed at the same time: "It is truly a fairyland on earth." Three days later, the discussion ended. Tathagata Buddha and Yuanshi Tianzun returned from the original road, both wanted to see this landscape again. After coming to the Liangzhou area, they were looking for it. They saw bricks and wood piles up on a mountain, as if they were going to build a large amount of construction. The two immortals pressed Yuntou and found out that the mountain was Laoye Mountain in the southwest of Liangzhou. The bricks, woods and tiles piled on the mountain were collected by local Buddhist and Taoist disciples, and they were about to build temples and Taoist temples on this mountain. The two immortals were very happy and discussed: "The mountain adjacent to Laoye Mountain looks like a lotus, with beautiful mountains and rivers connected to the mountains and rivers. It is best to choose a temple or Taoist temple on this mountain. The two immortals coincided with each other and decided to move the building materials piled up by Laoye Mountain to the Lotus Mountain to guide the Buddhist and Taoist disciples to build the temple and temple on the Lotus Mountain. At the fourth update that night, Yuanshi Tianzun used magic to transport the building materials on Laoye Mountain. The Buddha of Tathagata led and piled them on each "lotus petal" according to the ingredient plan, and each drove back to Lingshan and Kunlun Mountain. The next day, the Buddhist and Taoist disciples in Liangzhou took craftsmen to Laoye Mountain to prepare for construction, but found that the bricks, wood and tiles transported to the mountain a few days ago were gone, so they searched all over the place until the red sun At the beginning, all the materials were found on Lianhua Mountain. The Buddhist and Taoist disciples suddenly realized that such a large number of building materials were moved from Laoye Mountain to Lianhua Mountain overnight, and they were stacked in an orderly manner. It was by no means manpower, but it was God's will. So the groundbreaking ceremony was held immediately to carry out construction. Strangely, during the construction process, if you need to flatten a certain mountain or dig a platform halfway up the mountain, as long as the process that was not completed during the day could be completed by the design requirements the next morning. If the rocks are indestructible or there are huge rocks blocking the way, the rocks will be eradicated and the huge rocks will be moved overnight. All projects were built according to the original design shape and structure, which took two and a half years to build today's super-large building that combines Buddhism and Taoism to coexist in one mountain. Building a group.
According to historical records, the temples on Lotus Mountain were built in the late Han Dynasty. By the Tang Dynasty, there were 72 temples and Taoist temples, 999 buildings such as pavilions and pavilions, monks' houses and pavilions, and worshipped with ancient Indian Buddhist and Tibetan Buddhist Buddhist Buddhist relationships. It comes from the huge system of Buddhist and Taoist temples and Taoist temples of the 365th orthodox gods of the sect and the 365th orthodox gods of the sect and the sect are magnificent and magnificent. The Buddha light shines with the golden tower of Lotus Mountain, and the Buddhist affairs are constantly rising.
The original temple in Lotus Mountain was named Lingyan Temple, which was renamed Zhengguang Temple in the Yuan Dynasty, and was changed to Ming Dynasty.

Golden-top pagoda , an ancient building in India, is an octagonal seven-level brick tower, with wind chimes hanging on the eaves of the corners, an ancient pottery temple on the top, and a Buddha statue on the tower. When the weather is clear, stand in the city and look southwest, and the tower is vaguely visible. According to local people, those who reach the top can get rid of disasters and diseases by circling the tower for three times.
Yaowangquan , there is a clear spring in the Laqiang ditch on the side of the Golden Peak Tower, known as Yaowangquan. There is a rock beside the spring. According to legend, there is no water here. It is after Soba Rangmo stepped on the rock with his feet, and the spring water appeared, leaving her footprints on the stone. Zhang Zhaomei of the Qing Dynasty also recorded in the "Wuwei County Chronicles": "Lotus Mountain...the mountains are hugged together, like lotus, springs are lingering in the temple, and the rafters are used to sank the garden. There is also water to cure diseases, commonly known as 'Medicine Spring'." Today, the Medicine King Palace on the side of the Lotus Mountain has been searched without a trace, but the Medicine King Spring in front of the palace still flows out from the stone rafters, making a tingling sound, gathering into a pool. The water in the pond is clear and it is said that it is extremely fragrant when used to make tea. Ancient people wrote a poem, "The medicine spring draws water to the teahouse, and the pine stones are poured into the green paintings." The locals believe that the medicine spring water can ward off evil and cure diseases and prolong life. After drinking it, everything will go well within a year and no diseases will occur.
Beast Stone , there is a beast stone at the bottom of Lotus Mountain, with blue and white characters, and there are tigers, wolves, deer, horses, cattle, and sheep on it, so it is called beast stone. The locals also call it Xuanshi or Ruishi. It is said that during the Western Jin Dynasty, the "Eight Kings Rebellion" caused the disaster of life and the people suffered. Only Liangzhou's life is stable, and the reason is that Liangzhou's "auspiciousness is everywhere" and the appearance of beast stones (recorded by "Book of Jin: Biography of Zhang Gui"). Chen Bingkui, a Qing Dynasty man, praised: "It is natural and not human power, and the ancient colors are so frost. He leans against the wall and cliffs, and the moss is buried without anyone knows it. If Li Guang opens a crossbow, he mistakenly recognizes that the tiger should have no feathers." The poet spreads his imagination and associates Li Guang's legend of "suspecting the stone as a tiger, and shooting it without feathers" with the beast stone, adding a strange color to the beast stone.
Laojun Cave , there is a landscape called Laojun Cave behind Lianhua Mountain. It sits east to west. There are 5 main halls in front of the cave and 5 roll sheds in front of the hall, which are built in magnificently. There is a story about the Eight Immortals crossing the sea on the wall of the bungalow in front of the hall. There is a small road more than 2 meters wide in front of Laojun Cave. There is a statue of Laojun on the stage, and there is a table with an altar under the stage, with six legs, one foot of the middle legs buried one foot on the ground. There is a stone on the table, square, white and red patterns, called alchemy stone, also known as bright eyes. There is a stone-carved bottle in front of the stone, which is 2 meters high. There is no water in the bottle on weekdays. However, during festivals, Taoists go up the mountain and after cleaning the hall and the cave, they fill the bottle with water to sell for money. After the clever Taoist priests understood people's psychology, they sent the Taoist priests to Wuwei City to sell water, especially in front of the ancient bell tower. It is said that the alchemy stone has the effect that medicine cannot achieve. If you have eye diseases, rub your eyes against the stone slab when burning incense, and the eye disease will be cured. This is how the name of eye stone comes from.
There is a hillside in front of Lianhua Mountain, which is said to be 7 miles long. This slope is called Hantan Slope. The slope is surrounded by Lianhua Mountain and faces the rising sun. The dry beach slope has become an ideal treasure land for tombs. Han Dynasty culture was sealed in the tomb passage as the coffin sinks.In 1972, 92 Chinese medicine simplified Chinese simplified Chinese were unearthed, which is the earliest primitive cultural relics related to medical works in China. According to the timeless calligraphy and content engraved on the Han bamboo slips, it shines with the light of civilization. In 1974, when the paper with words was unearthed from the Hantan Slope, it provided new evidence for the history of papermaking in my country. On Hantan Slope, every unearthed cultural relic will add new content to the civilization of Wuwei. According to local elders, there is a natural landscape called the Arhat Tomb. The larger the drought beach slope, the larger the Arhat tomb is. The Arhat lies with his body on his back, and his head, neck, arms, fingers, navel, etc. can be vaguely distinguished. It is said that the Arhat tomb should be selected at about 8 o'clock in the morning. At this time, the Arhat's kind-hearted eyes are visible and appearing and becoming a miracle. In front of the dry beach slope, there is a archway, solemn and solemn, called "Xia Tianzhu". Walking another 30 meters, there is another archway. The pattern is the same as that of "Xia Tianzhu", called "Shangtian Zhu (Zhu)"
and walk into the Buddhist temple in Lianhua Mountain, and tour the only ancient Buddhist and Taoist land built on a mountain above 1,900 meters above sea level. The historical site is vast and the building facilities are numerous, which shows how vast the project at that time was. In the long history of the ancient monuments and the history with conclusive writing records, if you look at the remaining ancient ruins, you will find that the footprints of history have been printed too deep and for too long on this mountain. The Buddhist and Taoist culture has been stored here too much and far...
According to historical records, Lotus Mountain was called Guzang Mountain in ancient times. In history, this mountain once had 100,000 ancient trees, nearly a thousand ancient temples, and two mysterious springs. Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are integrated into one mountain and are famous in the northwest. The construction of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples in Lianhua Mountain began in the Western Han Dynasty and flourished in the Eastern Han Dynasty. They were expanded during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and were repaired on a large scale during the Western Xia, the Ming, Qing and the Republic of China. The most famous building is the Guzang Pagoda in Liangzhou, also known as the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda, which is dedicated to the real relics of Sakyamuni Buddha. According to the "Fayuan Zhulin" written by Taoshi of the Tang Dynasty (668-683), there are nineteen Buddha's relics in China, and this is a place recorded in historical books. The murals of Buddhist temples and Taoist temples on Lotus Mountain are especially the most exquisite in the Tang and Song dynasties. The statues of Bodhisattvas are lifelike, and the murals of Buddhas are vivid, fully demonstrating the exquisite skills of masters from the Western Regions from thousands of miles away, and also reflecting the ingenious talents of the ancient ancestors of Liangzhou.
Liangzhou is the first stop of Buddhism spreading eastward. In the thousands of years since Buddhism spread in Liangzhou, many temples have been built. Some temples have special status and far-reaching influence in Liangzhou and even in the history of Chinese Buddhism, and have made important contributions to the spread of Buddhist culture.
Exploring the long history of the Buddhist temples in Lianhua Mountain. What is most memorable is the battle, confrontation and integration of the ancient Qiang tribes of the Wuwei ancestors in the pre-Qin period and the Wusun, Yuezhi and Xiongnu on this land, the collision and integration of grassland pastoral culture and traditional farming culture in the Central Plains, and the perfect combination of Western Regions religious culture and local religious culture. This magical combination has thus nurtured the splendid and long cultural roots of the ancient capital of Wuliang, and established a vital weight and historical origin for the cultural connotation of the Liangzhou ancient city. It is the incense of incense that makes the tiles as heavy as black; it is the low singing of the Sanskrit sound, as light as the temple. The heavy doors and wooden windows are hidden by the backs of the Buddhist and Taoist monks, presenting the sighs of today's people. It is because of the unprecedented grand occasion of the old days that has remained in the depths of history forever.
The figures of Qiang ancestors who were driving cattle and sheep, carrying stones, and hiding on Lotus Mountain seemed to be frozen in the depths of history. For a kind of faith, the totem in their hearts is like a blooming lotus, and its petals are still blooming on this mountain.
There are as many temples and temples in Wuwei city as there are as many temples and temples on Lotus Mountain. This is a story passed down from the heart of the people. Judging from historical records alone, there are 72 temples on a mountain, 999 pagodas and courtyards, etc. The majestic and grand scale of the temples is by no means done by one generation. Moreover, the three religions of Buddhism, Taoism and Buddhism live together in the same mountain and tolerate each other, which is rare in the mountains of ancient temples in my country. "The ancient temple of famous mountains, the quiet mountains and rivers, and the majestic town of ancient Zang." Lianhua Mountain is known as a famous mountain in the northwest and a Buddhist resort, which can be said to be a name-based and true destination.
Dragon Boat Festival Pilgrimage Day A feast of folk culture
The first line of footprints of human civilization is stepping between the riverbed and valley. The first choice for Buddhist practice and preaching is to choose from the famous mountains with deep trees. In the natural landscape of the earth, nothing is more magical, subtle and difficult to exhaust than mountains, rivers, plants and trees. The flowing water nourishes the earth and nurtures all living things; the green mountains are magnificent and give humanity strength. Lianhua Mountain is a long history memory of Liangzhou, a vast and profound religious historical memory, and a magnificent and long national cultural memory.
Everyone has a place in their heart, as if they are close to each other, but far away in the sky. There is hope and quiet time. It is the place where people's hearts live, and the pure land on earth that their heart yearns for.
"Lotus flowers bloom in full bloom, and the fairy dance is better than heaven in May." To this day, the unique folk cultural customs of "pilgrimage mountain" and "flower picking festival" are prevalent on the Lotus Mountain in Keqi Village, Songshu Township, Liangzhou. The ancient traditional culture is deeply rooted in this land, exuding a clear and lasting cultural atmosphere, which is timeless.
Come to Lotus Mountain during the Dragon Boat Festival, the grass and trees are blooming and the mountains are full of flowers. Looking around, the rolling mountains, mountains and mist have created a 12-petal shape with an altitude drop of nearly 2,000 meters. The road beside the mountains and waters winds and circles, appearing and disappearing, as if a dragon is shuttled through the sky of the high mountain gorge; the clear snow water of the Qilian Mountains whirls and dances, flowing along the mountains, slowly pouring into the Shiyang River. The distant mountains are lush with lush trees and curling blue smoke. The villages and houses built at the bottom of the mountain are arranged in a scattered manner, quiet and peaceful manner. Nearby, the grass is green and the flowers are fragrant. Groups of women are hoeing and working in the fields. The beautiful mountains and rivers have nurtured the simple villagers here, and have interpreted beautiful folk legends one by one, and also interpreted the simple strengthening and spiritual belief of the people of Liangzhou who love labor, love life, and are grateful to God for generations.
Every fifth day of the fifth lunar month, guests from Liangzhou, Hexi and even from afar who believe in Buddhism rushed here to go up the mountain to make pilgrimage, go outings and pick flowers, like celebrating a festival and blessing each other. Lianhua Mountain ushered in its annual grand sun, with incense turbulent, the sound of Dharma names, the sound of people and Buddhist affairs. Wucun verified the custom of pilgrimage to Lotus Mountain on May 13th. Some people say that it started from the Han Dynasty, while others say that it was in the Tang and Song dynasties. Gradually, "Pilgrimage Day" and "Flower Picking Festival" have become a unique way for Liangzhou people to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. When the sun had not yet risen from the horizon on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, the good men and women from all over the country and messengers from afar rushed to the top of the mountain to burn incense and light lamps to worship Buddha, pray for scriptures and pray, and drink wine and sacrifice to Hada. Then he went to the nearby mountain spring water, some of whom took water and some drank it home with water to wash their hair. This is an important part of the festival - "grab the water". According to legend, drinking the mountain spring water before sunrise on this day can eliminate disasters and diseases, and bathing can bring good luck. Then, the flowers all over the mountains and fields also kicked off. The girls picked flowers and put them in braids, and the young men broke willows and wore them on their heads. The festive festival seems to dispel the sadness of the past and bring comfort to those who have experienced the pain. People integrate their emotions, expectations and thoughts into this happy and peaceful festival, praying for happiness, happiness and good fortune. On pilgrimage day, step by step, one heart after another of piety prayers are printed on the road to Lotus Mountain.

Eternal love The glory of Wuliang culture
Legend has it that there is a pure land, an ancient nation, driving cattle and sheep to the Lotus Mountain; there is a sacred mountain, white clouds floating on the top of the mountain, a dream repeats over and over again, just wanting you to recite and realize silently..." The sound of the Brahma echoed in your ears, as if it brought me back to the beautiful place in your heart: the distant horizon, the white clouds, the streams gurgled, the grass and trees lush, the snow lotus bloomed, the birds singing and the flowers scented, the beautiful mist was shrouded, the melodious sound of the scriptures...
Stop at the foot of Lianhua Mountain, as if you can hear the lingering sound of the Qiang flute that has gone away and feel the sound of the indigenous ancestors' self-improvement. As one of the indigenous peoples of Liangzhou, Wuwei, the Qiang ancestors have lived in this vast land for a long time, leaving their deep imprints and brilliant historical and cultural heritage. Lianhua Mountain is a "living fossil", witnessing the vicissitudes of Wuwei and interpreting the changes and development of the times.
Brahma is quiet and the smoke is deep in the evening, and the sounds of the silence are often heard. Flowers rain falls outside the clouds, and pine wind chants in the yard.

Guzang Mountain Also known as Nan Shang, its name comes from the Xiongnu language, which is beyond the verb of the Xiongnu language.
Around the third year of Jiaping (251), the eminent monk Fotucheng majored and expanded the temple in Lianhua Mountain.

Possibly swaying, the flute and drums compete with the field god. Sprinkle wine and water straw dogs, burn incense and worship wooden people. The witches dance repeatedly, and the silk stockings are born with dust." It is passed down to the later generations, and the oldest poem in the existing era, so it seems very precious.

He wrote "The seven-level floating map of Dou Shiyu climbed Liangzhou". He wrote the poem: "The tower rises from the middle, and the loneliness should rise up. The iron crown is strong, and the golden world is favored. The sky is in the open house, and the sound of drums and turtles are blowing. The sky is cold and the earth is wide open to the west of the nine states. Qingxing bows to talent, the wind is and clues. First, after the spring, everything is full of hooves."

The Buddha's voice is sparse and the walking is in the underworld. It is the four wonders.
In the first year of Hongxi in the Ming Dynasty (1425), Dai Bian, a political consultant in Guangxi, wrote a poem: "When I don't care about the structure, a peak suddenly appears in the white clouds. The sky light is high above the north pole, and the terrain of the south mountain is majestic. The wind sends the ringtones and the blue sky falls, and the rainbow shadows enter the clear sky.
