I don't want to stay in this noisy big city. Last night, a large transport vehicle disturbed me all night and I hardly slept.
In the morning, I went to Huangmei by car, 2 hours' drive, and I saw the continuous yellow flowers, especially rape flowers, and skipped the thatched cottage.
Huangmei, an ancient county town with dusty and narrow streets, is the birthplace of Huangmei Opera, which originated in the Qing Dynasty. Huangmei Opera was originally a folk tea-picking song in Anhui, and later spread to Anqing, where it was very prosperous. It is said that there are also tea gardens in the nearby mountains.
In the afternoon, take bus No.2 from the county seat, go to Wuzu Temple, the price is 1 yuan, at the foot of the mountain, change to a taxi 10 yuan, and you will get to the front of the temple. The temple is built on a hillside and it takes 4 kilometers to walk. The temple is solemn, but the noise inside rumbles and a forklift is moving bricks. -"Building Great Buildings" rolled from the world of mortals to the forest of Jingchan. What can we do? ! The white orchid trees in the temple are in full bloom, and the hall of the five ancestors has passed. This is the birthplace of Zen Buddhism, and this temple is famous all over the world.
The fifth ancestor (606-675), a monk in the Tang Dynasty, was born in Huangmei County. He became a monk at the age of seven. He is the main founder of Zen Buddhism, and cultivated the wind of epiphany, which spread to Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia, and later to Huineng. Zen is characterized by "sitting quietly, not writing words, speaking mysteriously and accepting others silently".
Ouyang Xiu visited Wuzu Temple in Song Dynasty, leaving a poem:
"Dongshan is warm, and Songmen is inclined for several miles.
The quiet forest is interesting, and the bells and drums are in the Wangs' house.
The Spring Festival is late, and the wind is clear and beautiful.
The clouds are getting brighter, and the birds are already mixed.
The spring under the ice first moved, and the tea in the smoke did not sprout.
Self-pity for illness, unwilling to blossom "("Wuzu Temple ")
When poets come, the season should be the first month. It's warm and cold here, but the spring air has begun to melt the ice on the hillside.
The mountain road is far away, and the rape blossoms under the mountain are beautiful, like heaven in heaven and falling into other countries. "The scenery is always on the road." In the city where we arrived, the scenery turned into "dust and mud".
Asking for directions and renting a car in the town at the foot of Wuzu Temple are all kind, which may be influenced by Buddhist customs, but I have never seen "tough" along the way in Hubei. This place is also the junction of Hubei, Henan and Anhui provinces. With the old street, you can imagine the prosperity here in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Huangmei also has a railway. After the opening of the Beijing-Kowloon Line 1997, it took a section of the East Hubei Line, passing through Wuxue, Ezhou and Huanggang.
Huangmei, this place name is beautiful and poetic. Is it because there is a kind of Huangmei tree? I asked several people, but I didn't know. I'd rather believe it. Because of Huangmei opera, people have more thoughts. I also think that rape blossoms are everywhere in spring, which has something to do with this.
It is conceivable that the way poets of ancient poetry deal with world contradictions is to "cross it", that is, "follow Wan Li Road", such as Du Li and poets of Tang and Song Dynasties, "transcend it", that is, "climb to the top of the mountain and go down to the bottom of the sea", and rise to the religious level of Buddhism.
I slept in front of Huangmei bus station all night, and the hotel was wet. After listening to the rain for a long time, the quilt also looked very wet, because it didn't take long for the room to be renovated. Where do wild birds cry in the night rain?
2014,3,25, Huangmei county, Hubei province
In the morning, eat noodles in the rain, spicy.
After a short stop in the rain, take a bus to the Sizu Temple in the county seat. The fare is 3 yuan, and then take a taxi to Dahe Town. Mountain climbing needs 10 yuan. It's blurred in the rain.
Sizu Temple, the temple gate is ancient and solemn, and the forest is lush and quiet. (As long as it is not noisy), it is a change of scenery. Inside is the Buddhist College, with many students. The monks quietly filed into the restaurant. There is a large book circulation office in the temple. The whole temple occupies a considerable area of forest, and the gardens are neat and orderly, which shows that it has been well managed. There are also Buddhist periodicals and websites in temples, and most monks are very young.
I went out of the temple and climbed the mountain for a long time. I saw Piluta, which was once seen in the dictionary of places of interest in China in the 1980s. I have admired it for a long time, and I can't see it until today. The main body of this tower is unique and was built in the Tang Dynasty. After many vicissitudes, many-hued still stands halfway up the mountain. The four mountains have beautiful scenery, birds and flowers, and spring peaches are in full bloom. From early spring to mid-spring, many trees have begun to turn completely green.
The abbot of Sizu Temple is Elder Jing Hui, the vice chairman of the National Buddhist Association, and the famous elder of Bahrain Temple in Hebei Province, who died here in his later years. It seems that the good governance of this temple may be related to monks and inheritance.
Sit quietly under Piluta for an hour and watch the mountains. This tower has the architectural atmosphere of the Han Dynasty, which is vigorous and powerful. Rare.
The people who came back to visit the grave, in twos and threes, will soon arrive in Tomb-Sweeping Day, and the memorial service will end in Tomb-Sweeping Day. In this area, paper flowers are used to place graves, burn incense but do not provide fruit.
Go back to the county town for rice and crock soup at 0/4 pm/kloc-6 yuan a can, enough for one person to drink. This kind of soup is a local specialty, there are more than ten kinds, such as lotus root soup, sparerib soup, radish soup, yam soup, jujube soup and so on. They are all served with gravy soup, steamed in a huge steamer (large iron pot), cooked slowly and cooked. Drinking sweat is healthy and comfortable, and civilians can afford it.
Many migrant workers in this area have gone back to their hometown to chat, and some have worked outside for twenty or thirty years. They have a good life, bought a house in the county, and said that their hometown is better. I liked big cities at first and went to Guangdong, Beijing and Shanghai. Now they think their hometown is the best.
It is said that the rape blossoms in the last week are the most seasonal, and it will not work in another ten days, and it will not be so prosperous.
Spend the night in the temple of infinity,
Raise your hand and ask the stars.
Dare not speak loudly,
Afraid of shocking the world. (Li Bai's Sleeping in the Boundless Temple)
In the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai traveled to Huangmei County, Hubei Province. This poem was written in Jiu Feng, a nearby Nanshan Ling.
At dusk, read Zhengjue published by Sizu Temple and Zen published by Bailin Temple. Some publications of Buddhist temples are also very literary, among which articles and poems are excellent.
