However, the buildings of Wuye Temple that everyone sees now are all buildings from the Qing Dynasty and were rebuilt during the Republic of China. However, many foreign tourists are very confused. There are many ancient temples in Wutai Mountain, regardless of the construction period and temples. In terms of scale, the Wuye Temple is not outstanding. Why is it the most popular temple in Mount Wutai? What kind of sacred place is enshrined in it? Who is the Wuye Temple among the people?
According to local people, the Fifth Lord enshrined in the Wuye Temple is the honorific title of Manjushri, the Dragon King of Guangji. Son, it is said that the Fifth Master has a fiery temperament and a dark face, so the local people call him the Black-faced Fifth Master. Many foreign tourists say that this Fifth Master is neither the Buddha, nor the Bodhisattva, nor the Arhat as everyone knows him. Why is he so loved by the local people?
According to legend, Wu Ye loved the people like a son and responded to all requests. On the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month and some special days, the Wu Ye Temple was always crowded with devotees from all over the country. , some people put their palms together to make wishes, and some pray devoutly. It is said that Wuye Temple is the most popular temple in Mount Wutai and the most effective temple for making wishes. In fact, you can see from the plaques on the walls of Wuye Temple that are filled with petitioners from all over the country. , this statement is true, but many people say that the reason why Wuye Temple is so popular is that it is actually the most effective temple for seeking wealth.
In fact, worshiping the God of Wealth to seek wealth seems to be a very common way among the people. However, in everyone’s perception, among the five gods of wealth, including the civil and military God of Wealth, the Lucky Boy, and the Three Stars of Fortune, Luxu, and Shou. , it seems that there is no Wu Ye, but why is it said that the Wu Ye Temple is the most effective for seeking wealth? Local people say that all the treasures in the world are hidden in the Dragon Palace. As the fifth son of the Dragon King, the Fifth Master is responsible for managing these treasures. Even the golden cudgel of Sun Wukong in "Journey to the West" came from the Dragon Palace, which shows how rich the Fifth Master is.
The wish-granting spirit of Wuye Temple has been passed down orally for hundreds of years. Many people even go to Mount Wutai as a pilgrimage to Wuye Temple. The common people are pragmatists and will make wishes wherever the best wishes can be found. Wherever you go, it is not difficult to see from the strong incense in Wuye Temple and the crowds queuing up to kowtow to Wuye. The incense is so strong that fire trucks are parked outside the temple. This is difficult to see in many temples in China. Many people usually People who are frugal in life become unreserved when they come to Wuye Temple. This kind of trust is spontaneous and accumulated over a long period of time.
Many people say that going to Wuye Temple to make a wish is not superstitious. It is a place where people’s recognition of good deeds and yearning for a better life are entrusted.

Don’t go to Mount Wutai easily. Why do people say this? Are there any reasons and taboos among the people?
Don’t go to Mount Wutai casually
Don’t go to Mount Wutai easily. , As for Wufeng Mountain being renamed Wutai Mountain, there is a little-known story in it.
According to legend, in ancient times, the climate in the Wufeng Mountain area was extremely harsh and the heat was scorching all year round. The local people suffered terribly. When Manjushri Bodhisattva was preaching there, he saw the suffering of the people and felt deep sympathy for them, so he made a great vow to save the people from escape. sea ??of ??bitterness. Manjusri Bodhisattva dressed up as a monk and traveled thousands of miles to seek help from the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
He found a huge bluestone at the entrance of the Dragon Palace that could emit cool breeze, so he brought it back. When he placed the big bluestone, the Dragon King's Stone of the East China Sea, in a valley in Wufeng Mountain, in an instant, it turned into a natural pasture with abundant grass, beautiful water, and extremely cool weather. After that, the valley was also named Qingliang Valley. People built a temple in the valley and surrounded the cool stone inside the temple. For this reason, Wufeng Mountain is also called Qingliang Mountain.
Later, when Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty heard about this, he issued an edict to build a temple on the top of each of the five peaks to worship Manjushri Bodhisattva. That is, the wise Manjushri on the top of the east platform, the lion-roaring Manjushri on the top of the west platform, the wise Manjushri on the top of the south platform, the innocent Manjushri on the top of the north platform, and the childlike Manjushri on the top of the middle platform. You can watch the sunrise from the top of the east platform, the bright moon from the top of the west platform, the mountain flowers from the top of the south platform, and the auspicious snow from the top of the north platform. This is the origin of Mount Wutai.
The terrain of Wutai Mountain is very dangerous. It can be said that one man can guard the pass and ten thousand men cannot open it. During the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty, one part of the rebel army occupied Wutai Mountain and defended it from a high position. Although there were many officers and soldiers, there was still nothing they could do against the rebel army on the mountain.
Not everyone can go to Mount Wutai
Not everyone can go to Mount Wutai. This is because the Buddhist atmosphere in Mount Wutai is strong and the holiness here is high. Many people may be under pressure. For example, children, some relatively sensitive children and infants, feel the natural coercion and fear of these tall and majestic Buddha statues, temples and Foshan, and will be frightened, and in severe cases will cause psychological shadow.
People with strong wishes and random thoughts are not allowed to go. If you go to a temple to worship, kneel down and say your wish. If you have a strong wish, it is possible that your wish will come true when you return home, but it takes a long time to fulfill your wish. If you go to fulfill your vows, but if you don’t fulfill your vows or fail to fulfill your vows due to trivial matters, there may be some backlash.
For example, girls are not allowed to go to Mount Wutai during their menstrual period, because their bodies are dirty and will pollute the spiritual energy of the Bodhisattva, and they will be punished by the Bodhisattva.
In fact, Mount Wutai, as a spiritual Buddhist holy land, will not stop all kinds of people from visiting and worshiping. Being sincere is spiritual. In front of the Buddha, all living beings are equal, tolerant and tolerant, and it is true. There is no explicit rule that no one can go, but everyone has their own understanding of the Buddha, so there are various folk rumors that not everyone can go.
Things to note when going to Mount Wutai
1. Bring more clothes. Last May Day, it snowed heavily there! It’s best to bring cotton-padded clothes! When I lived in the mountains last July, I still wore long johns in the morning and evening!
2. Don’t accept the amulets issued by the locals, even if they say they don’t need any money and just give them to you. What a deceptive trap! Get out of the way quickly. There are some locals who volunteer to be tour guides who keep following you. It's best to refuse, because they will take you to some special "attractions" for a commission.
3. If you meet someone in monk’s attire who says he is a fortune teller, don’t believe it! Real masters are all busy in monasteries, so how can they have time to tell people's fortunes on the road? Just be respectful, after all, he was dressed in monk attire and looked like a family member. If you have alms, it depends on your wishes, just be respectful! When you arrive at Mount Wutai, be careful not to easily trust those wearing monk robes. Because many are not real monks. Keep your wallet tight. Remember: worship Buddha with your heart, not with money.
4. When you go to a temple to worship Buddha, you don’t need to buy incense from outside. The incense outside is so expensive, even hundreds per box! No need to invite! For regular temples, the main hall inside will have incense specifically for pilgrims to light. Just 3 sticks is enough! Then you can just put the incense money in the merit box. If you want to make more offerings, it depends on your personal motivation! There is really no need to pay for hundreds of incense sticks.
5. Bring some diarrhea medicine, ginger water, etc. It's very cold in the mountains and it's easy to catch cold. Daily medicines: plasters, band-aids, medicines for diarrhea, colds, stomach medicine, Yunnan Baiyao, gauze.
6. You can live in a temple, but you must have a refuge certificate and go to the living room to make an order. When living in a monastery, one must abide by the monastery's rules. Eating, attending morning and evening classes, and staying in a monastery must be strictly implemented according to the monastery's regulations.
It is best to go to the kitchen or main hall to help with work, which is also beneficial to your cultivation!
7. Pay homage to the pagoda again. It should be turned right. Like the sun, moon and stars surrounding Mount Sumeru. No left rotation allowed.
There are five things that revolve around. one. Look down at the ground. two. Do not step on insects. three. Don't look around. Four. Shameless. five. Don't talk to others. Another five blessings. one. Future generations must behave in a good manner. two. Get a good voice. three. Be born in heaven. Four. Born into a princely family. five. De Nihuan Road.
8. In addition to travel expenses, it is best to prepare about 300 yuan in change, 5 yuan is best, and prepare to do meritorious deeds. There are many activities on the mountain, so just drop by as you like. Wutai Mountain cannot be visited without fate 3
Wutai Mountain Travel Guide
It is relatively convenient to enter and exit Wutai Mountain. You can take trains or planes for long distances, and long-distance buses for short distances.
(1) Aircraft.
1. Wutaishan Airport. At present, Wutaishan has transformed the original military airport into an airport for military and civilian use, and opened flight routes to some cities. Wutaishan Airport is about 100 kilometers away from Wutaishan Scenic Area, and takes two hours by bus. It is the closest airport to Wutaishan Scenic Area. If you want to fly, you can first check online to see if the departure city has a flight route to Wutaishan Airport. Wutaishan belongs to Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province. Some websites say it is Xinzhou Wutaishan Airport. You can find out when making inquiries.
2. Taiyuan Airport. When most people go to Mount Wutai, they still fly to Taiyuan and then take a bus to Mount Wutai. Taiyuan is the capital of Shanxi Province, with many flights and time options. However, it is still far from the Wutai Mountain Scenic Area, and it takes four and a half hours by bus.
3. Other airports. When heading towards Taiyuan in Mount Wutai, I met some traveling friends who took buses from Beijing and Hebei. It is estimated that it is not too far from Mount Wutai. If you have not bought a ticket from Taiyuan or Mount Wutai Airport, you can consider the surrounding large airports, but I don’t think so. Not too sure whether it is the most convenient way to reach Wutai Mountain Scenic Area.
(2) Train
There is a train station in Wutaishan Mountain, which is not too far from the scenic spot. However, there are not many trains at Wutaishan Railway Station. They are basically within the province. If you want to take a train When going to Wutaishan Station, check online beforehand. There are buses from Wutaishan Railway Station to the scenic spot, but the bus is full and the bus is picked up very early. The specific time is not sure, depending on the number of people going to the scenic spot. There are also many cars sent by the hotel to pick you up from the station (you need to pay), so if you choose Wutaishan Railway Station, it is best to determine the way to reach the scenic spot in advance.
There are two train stations in Taiyuan, namely Taiyuan South Station (high-speed rail station) and Taiyuan Station. Taking the high-speed rail is very convenient and fast, but for places far away, it takes several hours or even eight or nine hours. The time is slightly longer, and the price is sometimes even more expensive than flying. Taiyuan Station is an ordinary train station. In some places, the train arrival time is very good. It is also a good choice to depart at night and arrive the next morning.
(3) Short-distance buses
Whether you take a train or an airplane, the last step is to rely on buses.
There is a bus to the scenic spot from Wutaishan Airport, the price is 80 per person, and the bus departs according to the flight time. It's very convenient to get a bus every time you arrive at a flight, and there are small cars when there are few people, and big cars when there are many people, which is very user-friendly. If the flight is late and arrives in the middle of the night, I don’t know if there will be a bus. I specifically consulted the ticket salesperson about the bus departure.
They said that the plane arriving at 8 or 9 o'clock will definitely have a bus, and the airport bus usually waits until the last flight is around 10 o'clock in the evening. It should be noted that if you want to come back from Wutai Mountain Scenic Area, you must call the bus company to make an appointment one day in advance, otherwise you may not have a bus back.
There is no bus from Taiyuan Airport directly to Wutai Mountain Scenic Area. You have to take a bus from Taiyuan East Railway Station. There is a bus from Taiyuan Airport to the East Passenger Station. It is Airport Line 4. There are 25 buses per person. Sometimes there are no buses available. I don’t know why. I heard that you have to fill up the bus. Taking a taxi from the airport to the East Railway Station costs more than 40 yuan. If two people are traveling together, taking the Line 4 bus is not more suitable than taking a taxi.
Taiyuan High-speed Railway Station is very close to the airport, but there is no direct bus to Mount Wutai, which is not convenient. If you want to take a bus, you have to go to the East Railway Station. Take a bus from the airport to the East Railway Station. The journey takes about half an hour to forty minutes. It's not too far. It might be more convenient to take a taxi.
It is 233 kilometers from Taiyuan East Railway Station to Wutai Mountain. Bus fare: 82 yuan (currently). Departure time: summer (every hour from 6:40-18:20) and winter (every two hours from 8:50-18:20) class).
The bus from Mount Wutai back to Taiyuan is very particular.
First, starting from Wutaishan Bus Station, you can take a bus directly to the airport or high-speed rail station. The journey takes about three and a half hours. But this bus only leaves once, at 9 a.m., from Wutai Mountain to Pingyao. It passes through the high-speed rail station and the airport. It only drops people off but does not pick up people. It costs 91 yuan per person. It is fast and economical. If the time is right, take this bus The bus trip is very good. The disadvantage is that there is only one trip, first come first served. It doesn't matter in the off-season. I don't know if it is easy to buy tickets in the peak season.
The second is to take a bus from Wutaishan Bus Station back to the East Bus Station. The bus starts at 6:30 in the morning and the last bus is at 4:30 in the afternoon. It leaves when it is full. It leaves every hour and the journey is three and a half minutes. Between an hour and four and a half hours, it mainly depends on the driver's technique and road conditions. There is a bus directly to the airport from the East Railway Station, which can be connected. When flying, you have to go through boarding pass, security check and other procedures, so it is best to spare more than six and a half hours. The disadvantage of taking the bus back to the East Railway Station is that it takes a long time and requires another backup. The advantage is that there are many buses, one every hour.
The third is to go from Wutaishan Railway Station to Taiyuan. I have not done this trip. Friends who are interested can check separately.
Special reminder: If you depart from Wutaishan Bus Station to Taiyuan, you can call to pick up people in advance. The bus station will arrange a car to pick you up in the scenic area for free.
