For China people, people who have read Jin Yong's martial arts novels are also full of admiration for Shaolin Temple-after all, they have always been decent leaders in Wulin.
And I, obsessed with martial arts novels, have dreamed of chivalrous women since I was a child, and I especially want to go because of my obsession.
The following is the harvest of my trip to Shaolin (including Songyang Academy):
In fact, Songyang Academy is also of extraordinary origin (Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, one of the four major folk academies in the Song Dynasty, once gathered hundreds of students to give lectures in this academy), but unfortunately, there are too few people who know the ancient times, and now it has declined.
Shaolin Temple:
Songshan Shaolin. Shaolin Temple is located at the foot of Wuru Peak in Songshan Mountain, Dengfeng City, Henan Province. It is named "Shaolin Temple" because it is located in the dense jungle of Shaoshi Mountain in the hinterland of Songshan Mountain. Founded in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (495), it was built by Emperor Xiaowen at the northern foot of Shaoshi Mountain in Songshan Mountain, facing the capital Luoyang.
Shaolin Temple has always been a symbol of China's Kung Fu (it is also the orthodox Kung Fu in the Jianghu, leading the way).
There are many tourists, especially under the plaque in Bruce Lee's movies. If you want to take pictures, you have to wait for tour groups and individual travelers ... I waited for this picture for 20 minutes.
Shaolin Temple's tourism-related products are also very good. I have eaten vegetarian cakes from Shaolin Temple.
Foreign friends are generally curious about China Kung Fu, so many foreigners go to Shaolin Temple.
Ancient tourists should not expect too much from Shaolin Temple. Shaolin Temple was burnt down in the scuffle between warlords in the 1920s. The existing temples are all newly built in recent years except Li Xueting and Daxiong Hall (built in Qing Dynasty).
Although there are many people, the building is average. But! After watching their martial arts performances, I think martial arts are really worth seeing! The one who danced with a gun and a knife, the one who danced with a chain (a meteor hammer) and the one who gave it to hidden weapons were really wonderful! The martial arts performance lasts from 2 pm to 5 pm, which seems to be an hour.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, you can also see their disciples training, which is actually a martial arts school. After seeing those children, I felt very happy to go to a cultural school. Look at them, boys, big and small, tanned; When you ask them for information, you are shy and have not seen girls for a long time; I don't even have a summer vacation, and I have to train in this hot day. Among the photos taken by Shaolin Temple this time, I think the photos of those children are the soul of Shaolin Temple.
There are many martial arts schools around Shaolin Temple. It is said that their way out is special forces or something. It's good.
It is said that when I was a child, I also had the desire to become a generation of women. However, after watching their training, I felt really young and naive before. ...
Shaolin Temple, the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism in Han Dynasty, is known as "the first temple in the world". Shaolin Temple is famous all over the world because of the dedicated research and development of Shaolin Kung Fu by Shaolin monks in past dynasties. There is a saying that "Shaolin Kung Fu is the best in the world, and Shaolin Kung Fu is the best in the world".
Tallinn, Shaolin Temple. Tallinn is the tomb of the abbot of Shaolin Temple and the accomplished and contributed monks. According to the Buddhist system, only after the death of a famous monk, will a palace tower be erected and a stone record be carved to show merit and inspire future generations.
Three thousand Tallinn, three thousand monks. Buried the famous monk of Shaolin Temple.
There are also several pagodas outside Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes and Guazhou Yulin Grottoes. That's the position of the relic after the monk died. Although it is not as prosperous as Tallinn in Shaolin Temple, its hardships and asceticism are enough for people to remember.
Mahayana resort. Shaolin Temple is Mahayana Buddhism in Buddhism, and faith should measure not only itself but also others.
The sutra building written in martial arts novels! I wonder if there is an unknown sweeping monk.
It is said that the hole in this tree was left by tourists when they practiced one-finger Zen.
The indoor martial arts performance is wonderful!
A place to watch martial arts performances.
These children injected soul into Shaolin Temple.
In heaven and on earth
It's for Songshan
Song Yang Academy of Classical Learning
Songyang Academy is an ancient institution of higher learning and one of the four major academies in China. The organizational system of Songyang Academy is simple and elegant, and the main buildings on the central axis have five entrances and corridors. Songyang Academy is regarded as a "specimen" to study the architecture, educational system and Confucian culture of ancient academies in China because of its unique Confucian educational architecture.
Academy is a unique educational organization in China feudal society, which occupies an important and unique position in the history of ancient education in China and has a decisive influence. Songyang Academy, one of the four major academies in ancient China, is a leader among the academies and has played an important educational role in spreading China traditional culture and cultivating talents.
Historically, Songyang Academy is famous for its Neo-Confucianism, rich cultural heritage and strange cultural relics.
I have studied in the history books that Confucianism developed into Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty, with Cheng Yi and Cheng Hao as the representatives. They used to be the mountain leaders of Songyang Academy.
This form of academy also developed in the Song Dynasty. Because the Song Dynasty valued literature over martial arts, reading became a world trend, and the best private schools were the four academies.
Few people go to this place. It's past 4 o'clock since I got out of Shaolin Temple. I took a taxi to Songyang Academy. There may be many people who think that such scenic spots are boring and can't see anything. But I think there is a cultural atmosphere in it. You can think about how the ancients went to school here, how they demonstrated their views, how good it would be to breathe fresh air in the mountains and study with ideals and ambitions!
Songshan Mountain is divided into Shaoshi Mountain and Taishi Mountain. Shaolin Temple is in Shaoshi Mountain, and Songyang Academy is in Taishi Mountain. The slope of Taishi is gentle. On summer nights, it is said that locals often climb mountains and chat. When I was in youth travel, I also saw that some boys planned to climb Taishi Mountain the next day and left after 4 am.
The following is: Zhongyue Songshan is backed by the Academy, and on the left is the Datang Monument.
Songshan wangbei-datang monument.
The full name "Song Yangguan Ji Shengde Shengbei" was engraved in the third year of Tang Tianbao (AD 744). The monument is 9.02m high, 2.04m wide and1.05m thick. This monument is magnificent and beautifully carved. The whole inscription 1078 words. The content mainly describes that Sun Taichong, a Taoist priest of Song Yang, was alchemist in Li Longji, Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. Li wrote and Pei Jiong sealed the eight-part essay. It is a representative work of official script in Tang Dynasty, with correct posture, moderate rigidity and elegant hairstyle. Monuments in the Tang Dynasty weighed more than 80 tons, and the monument cap alone weighed 10 tons.
The "Nine Dynasties Metropolis" in the couplet of Songyang Academy Gate sealed by Emperor Qianlong. The saying that Luoyang was the ancient capital of the Nine Dynasties came from this.
Songyang Academy is one of the birthplaces of Neo-Confucianism in the Song Dynasty. Cheng Hao, Cheng Yi, Sima Guang and Fan Zhongyan, founders of Neo-Confucianism in Song Dynasty, all gave lectures in Songyang Academy, and part of Sima Guang's masterpiece Zi Tong Zhi Jian was written in Songyang Academy. At the end of Ming Dynasty, the academy was destroyed by fire, and was rebuilt and built in Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. In its heyday, it had a study field of more than 1750 mu, hundreds of students, and more than 2,000 books, such as Complete Works of Zhu Xi, Essentials of Sex, Four Books and Nine Classics of the Day, etc. In the late Qing Dynasty, the imperial examination system was abolished and schools were established. After more than 1000 years of academy education, the imperial examination procedure was completed, but the academy, as a bright pearl in the history of ancient education in China, will go down in history forever.
General Han-Bai.
With Songshan as the background, it looks good no matter how you shoot it!
Confucian people like this word, as long as there are sages, they will come here. Qufu has a similar one.
This is said to be the imperial pen of Qianlong (anyway, his old man has more imperial pens ...).
Stay in Dengfeng that night. A street sign at the entrance of the youth hostel.
Conclusion:
If there are three places to go, it must be: Luoyang, Shaolin Temple and Kaifeng.
I prefer the classical taste, trying to find the shadow of the Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty from all the modern things and historical dust. And Henan is such a place with a long history.
The once hinterland of the Central Plains has been the orthodoxy of hegemony since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
At this point, I left a travel note for readers.
