At this point, we need to introduce the background of this Five Mountain Terrace. This mountain takes Wutai County, Shanxi Province as the center, around 250 kilometers, and Huang Mountain a week of the same number of kilometers. It was formed from five mountain peaks that were encircled by a circle, hence its name. The five peaks towered into the clouds. The peaks were flat and wide, like a platform of earth, so they were called the five peaks. Five Peaks Outside the main stage, inside the fifth peak, the bay of the five peaks was Taiwan, among the five peaks, the north of the five peaks was Taipei, the south of the five peaks was Tainan, the east of the five peaks was Taixi, above the five peaks was Taixi, below the five peaks was Taipei, and below the five peaks was the stage. The five peaks were previously in front of the platform, behind the five peaks was the platform, and the left side of the five peaks was the left side of the platform, while the right side of the five peaks was the right side. Each of the five platforms had their own name. The east platform was the Wanghai Peak, the west platform was called the Hanging Moon Peak, the south platform was called the Embroidery Peak, the north platform was called the ZhongDou Peak, and the center platform was the Tsui Rock Peak. The peak of Ye Dou Feng is the highest among the five platforms. The top of the platform is 3058 meters above sea level, which is commonly known as the North China Roof.

Wutai Mountain

The five main peaks of Wutai Mountain were named after the Five Directions. They are known as the East Platform, North Platform, West Platform, South Platform, Middle Platform. Five tables with fingers, East Taiwan looking at the sea peak, West He hanging moon peak always so. The other three had changed in history. The north platform was first designated as the Big Yellow Peak, then as the Ye Dou Peak; the middle platform was first designated as the Ye Dou Peak, then as the Cuiyan Peak; the south platform was first designated as the Cuiyan Peak, then as the Ancient South Platform, and finally as the Jinjian Peak. The five pointed changes should be the historical religious activities. It must be an objective reflection of the development from north to south.

Buddhist Holy Land

The Wutai Mountain is a famous Buddhist holy land at home and abroad, together with Sichuan Emei Mountain, Anhui Jiuhua Mountain, Zhejiang Putuo Mountain, and also known as China's four Buddhist famous mountains. And the Wutai Mountain, with its long history and grand scale of monasteries, resides at the head of the four famous Buddhist mountains. From ancient times until now, the emperor, the emperor, the high monks, the uncountable number of Buddhist followers and tourists came in droves to pay homage to the mountains and to tour.

The five peaks were majestic, with wide peaks. There is a place in the northeast called Qingliang Mountain. Since then, all the Bodhisattvas have stopped in the middle. "The existing Bodhisattvas, famous literary scholars, and their families, the Bodhisattvas, and ten thousand people, often speak in this way." "After my extermination, in the northeast part of the Formosan continent, the name of the country was shaken, among which were the mountains, and the names of the five peaks of the sun." "Wenju, the child who lives in the parade, for all living things, is said in the middle." A great earthquake, or a great shock, refers to China. Scholars Li, or Manjusri, is a Sanskrit translator, one of the Bodhisattva of the Buddhist Maharet, sometimes referred to as Scholar Wen, sometimes referred to as Scholar Wen, sometimes referred to as Scholar Wen, which refers to various types of adaptations. Hua Yan Jing regarded the Bodhisattva Wenshu and Pu Xian Bodhisattva as the guards of Shakyamuni. The Bodhisattva Wenshu served on the left side. Ordinary Buddhist classics have recorded that the Wutai Mountain is the region where the Bodhisattva Wenshu teaches.

Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, was born in Seventh- and sixth- century BC, in the country of Capi in ancient India (now Nepal). The name of Sakyamuni is Jotamo, whose name is Siddhartha. He was called Buddha after he became Buddha, and he was called Buddha after he became Buddha, which means the enlightened one. Since his family was of the Sakyamuni tribe, they called him Sakyamuni, which meant Sakyamuni. Sakyamuni was a prince, he had married and had children, and he had gone out to train. He had travelled to ancient India to preach his teachings, and his followers had grown in number. According to the classics, Buddha said that there were five mountains in the northeast, and the Left Wing Attendant of Shakyamuni was a wise man. As a result, the Wutai Mountain was also famous as a holy land of Buddhism, both at home and abroad.

Buddhist origin

In what era did the Wutai Mountain start to create a temple?

According to various ancient records, the Wutai Mountain had already built temples during the Eternal Peace of the Eastern Han Dynasty. According to legend, Emperor Liu Zhuang of the Han Dynasty, the dream Golden Man, came floating from the west. Knowing that there was a Buddhist connection, he sent his ministers, Cai Yin and Qin Jing to the west to look for him and ask for Buddhist mantras. Tsai, Qin and others obtained Buddhist statues in Danyue, and coincidentally met the local preacher, Tian Zhu (now India), who had increased the number of Mo Tun and Zhu Fran, and invited them to China. Ten years after Yongping (67 A.D.), the Buddhist monk sent a white horse carrying scriptures and statues to the Luoyang. As expected, when the Emperor saw the Buddha statue of Shakyamuni, it was as he had seen in his dream. He worshipped Buddhism more and more, so he ordered the construction of the Luoyang and spread Buddhism in China. In the eleventh year of Yongping, the two High Monks came to the Wutai Mountain of the Cool Sheng Domain and saw the center of the five platforms surrounding the mountain. Its mountainous topography was exactly the same as the Spirit Eagles Mountain where Shakyamuni cultivated, and upon their return to the Luoyang, they requested Emperor Han Ming to build a temple in the Wutai Mountain. Thus, Emperor Wen Ming issued an edict to build the Great Fu Spirit Shrine in the Wutai Mountain. Great Fu means Hongxin. The Temple of the Sun Spirit Eagle was the Spirit Eagles Mountain of the Western Regions and the Wutai Mountain of the Eastern Lands. Thus, the Luoyang and the Wutai Mountain's Great Fu Spirit Eagle Temple became our country's earliest temple. The Great Fufu Spirit Shitou Temple is the predecessor of the present Shitong Temple.

Historically, with the spread of Buddhism, the monarch's reverence and construction, and the High Monk's loyalty to the Monarch, the Wutai Mountain became more and more famous, with its status growing higher and higher. There were more and more temples built, and its scale became larger and larger. The rise and fall of Dharma are also different in different periods. The present situation of Dharma is different from that of Dharma in different periods of time, and the rise and fall of Dharma is different from the rise and fall of Dharma in different periods of time, and the rise and fall of Dharma is different from the rise and fall of Dharma in different periods of time. From the time of the Emperor of Han and Ming dynasties, the Manchu and Zhu Franchs spread Buddhism and built the Great Fufu Spirit Eagle Temple to the period of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, more than 200 temples were built in the Wutai Mountain. Zhou Wu Killing technique, Wutai Mountain was similar to other places, the temple's destruction was extremely serious. At the beginning of Sui Dynasty, the temple was rebuilt and Buddhism was revived. During the Tang Dynasty, when Buddhism was flourishing, there were more than 360 monasteries in the Wutai Mountain. Tang Wu Zong knows how to exterminate, Wutai Mountain Buddhism goes down with it, temples go down. Although Song, Liao, Jin and Yuan dynasties had been built over and over again, they could not recover completely due to the destruction caused by the war. When he reached the Ming Dynasty, Buddhism was rejuvenated. The Wutai Mountain rebuilt and created over a hundred temples and monasteries. Since Qing Dynasty, with the introduction of Lamaism into the Wutai Mountain, some green temples have been changed into yellow temples, and new yellow temples have been built. The Buddhist temples with their own characteristics have appeared, with Han, Tibetan, Mongolian and Manchu monks living side by side in harmony. Since the founding of New China. The Party and the State shall carry out their religious policies correctly, attach great importance to the protection of cultural relics, and allocate a large amount of funds for the maintenance and renovation of temples. The monks also used the temples to support the temples, and used cloth money to make the holy images. Rebuilding the shrine and cleaning up the temple. " Casually picking up a stalk of grass, always a golden lion ", the Wutai Mountain made a huge contribution to the development of Chinese Buddhism.

Wutai Mountain, the center of the study of the "Hua Yan Jing" for the northern region in Gaoqi time. In the Tang Dynasty, the high monk Cheng Jing developed Hua Yan's calligraphy to its peak, and was once the teacher of the Seven Emperors. He was conferred the title of "Professor Monk", "Cool State Scholar" and so on, and was honored as the fourth ancestor of Hua Yan Zong. Hua Yan Jing stated that the Bodhisattva Wenshu's Dao Court was located at the Qing Liang Mountain in the northeast. The Wutai Mountain was located not only in the northeast of Chang'an, but also in the northeast of ancient India, where Buddhism originated. The climate in the mountains is hard and icy, the snow is still flying in summer, and there was no heat in the past, which is in line with the words of the "Hua Yan Jing". As such, the Buddhism of the Wutai Mountain invited the Bodhisattva Wenshu to settle down in the East, and changed the name to Qinliang Mountain. It was a Taoist hall which brought along families, parades, and teachings to the Great Bodhisattva Wenshu. After that, the Bodhisattva Wenshu was discussed and discussed in detail, making the image of the Bodhisattva Wenshu grow bigger and bigger, finally becoming the "Master of the Seven Buddhas", and the "Third Great Buddha took her as his mother". As the Buddhist god worshipped by Buddhist believers of various nationalities, the Wutai Mountain was also revered as the "Golden World" and "Fresh Land". On the basis of studying and inheriting Buddhism of ancient India, the Buddhism of Wutai Mountain created Bodhisattva faith which was different from Buddhism of ancient India according to the situation of China. From the combination of Buddhism theory and Buddhism practice, it achieved a high degree of harmony and unity. It played an exemplary role in the final formation of the four famous mountains. In the development history of Chinese Buddhism, it has great influence.

The Wutai Mountain is located at the foot of the Great Wall, on the border between the farming and nomadic peoples in history, and has always been highly valued by the feudal royal family. From the moment the Northern Wei Dynasty's Xiao Wen Emperor set up his summer resort in the mountains, Zuangdi Emperor, Song Taizong, Yuan Ying Sect, Qing Zu, Qing Gaozong had all been blessed by the Wutai Mountain. As for the past emperors and emperors who sent them to the Wutai Mountain, they never stopped, they were innumerable. Flipping through the history books of the various temples in the Wutai Mountain, the first page of the book was always shockingly written with the words "Emperor". The distinguished officials all followed suit. The scholar was a man of his word. Buddhism regular meeting dragon door guest, Zen Lin time gathering Han Lin people, is the real history of Wutai Mountain. Because of this, the special position and effect of the Buddhism of the Wutai Mountain in the history of Chinese ideology has always played an important role in the integration of national unity in the northern part of China. If the Great Wall was a product of national confrontation, then the Buddhism of the Wutai Mountain was a symbol of national integration.

The Wutai Mountain had always been the place where the famous monks gathered. Eastern Jin High Monk Hui Yuan was born in Yuanping County, at the eastern foot of Wutai Mountain. In the Northern Wei Dynasty, Tan Luan, Ling, Ling, Fa Cong, Jia Fu; in the Northern Qi Dynasty, Liu Qiangzhi; in the Sui Dynasty, Huilong, Qi; in the Tang Dynasty, the Taohuan, Ji, Hui Xiang, Cheng, Fa Zhe, Zhe Zhen; in the Song Dynasty, Su Tuo, Hui Hong, Fa Chong; in the Yuan Dynasty, Ba Siba, Xiong Ba, Zhen, sex, Hong, Hai Yun Da Fa; in the Ming Dynasty, Dafu, Miao Feng, Zen, Zi Bai, Cheng, Shu Da, Shen, Xin, etc., these great masters of the Buddhist history of China were born or lived in or in the mountains; they contributed greatly to the development of Buddhism in China.

The Wutai Mountain has an illustrious position in Chinese Buddhism, which has made many foreign Buddhist believers come to pay homage. During the Magnificent Tang Dynasty, the Wutai Mountain became an institution of higher learning for foreign believers to study and listen to scriptures. After the Tang Dynasty, the foreign high monks still continuously paid homage to the Wutai Mountain. The Buddhism in Wutai Mountain was spreading outwards with its vigorous vitality. In the year of Tang Zhen Monastery, the High Monk of the Kingdom of Xiluo, Ci Zang, came to the Wutai Mountain to study. After returning to China, Wutai Mountain was established on the Korean peninsula. Taking Zhenyuanzhong of Zhongtai as the center, we actively promote the cultural belief, so that the cultural belief of the Chinese Wutai Mountain will blossom and bear fruit on the Korean Peninsula. The Japanese people had been influenced by the Buddhism of the Wutai Mountain ever since the Nai Liang era. The Sacred Martial Emperor imitated Wu Zetian's bestowal of the Great Hua Yan Temple of the Wutai Mountain and had also hung the plaque of the Great Hua Yan Temple on the southern gate of the East Great Temple of the Japanese people. The Japanese monk Yuan Ren "A Record of Visiting the Tang Dynasty to Seek the Law," which has a detailed description of the Buddhism of the Wutai Mountain and has a great influence in Japan. During the year of Song, Taiping, and Xing Guo, the high monks of the Eastern Temple in southern Japan came to China to pay homage to the Wutai Mountain. After returning to the country, it was planned to change the name of Mount Yashan to Wutai Mountain, following the example of the oldest Great Qingliang Temple in the Wutai Mountain of China, and create a Great Qingliang Temple in Japan. It was a pity that the grand aspiration came, but the person was the first to be lonely. His disciple asked for permission from the imperial government to change the name of the original Danxia Temple to Qingliang Temple, which later became a place where all the faith in the world was gathered. The ancient kasak of the Chinese Wutai Mountain was moved to Japan. It could be said that the faith of the Chinese Wutai Mountain had already spread to the East Asia region. Today, the Buddhism in the Wutai Mountain attracted many believers from Southeast Asia. Every year, there was an endless stream of people who worshipped the Buddha.

The great aspects of the Wutai Mountain's Buddhist Sect were divided into two systems, the Cyan Sect and the Yellow Sect. Qing Sect is the general name of Han Buddhism. It has had the sect of Fa Xiang, Lu Zong, Tian Tai Zong, Hua Yan Zong, Pure Land Zong, Secret Zen, Zen Zen Zen and their subordinate Linji Zong, Linji Zong Zong, Cao Dong Zong and so on. What was more special was the Morten Flange Sect. Historically, the monks of the Wutong Temple believed that the temple was founded in the hands of the Morten Flange, so they declared the temple to be the Morten Flange Sect. Its doctrine is the combination of Zen and Pure Land Sect, the era should not be understood earlier. The Yellow Church was the general name of Tibetan Buddhism. There were two ways to travel to Wutai Mountain: the Tang Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty had reached its peak. At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, the court changed the ten green temples of the Wutai Mountain into yellow temples, the monks also changed from monks into monks. Since then, the appearance of the Han Chinese Lama in the Wutai Mountain was a rare occurrence in the country. The Wutai Mountain Huang Sect was divided into the two major systems of Bodhisattva Zazak and Zhenhai Zhenhai Jiajia. The monks have the believers of Han, Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan and earth nationalities, and become a holy place for national unity and harmonious coexistence.

The organizations of the Wutai Mountain Temples were split into ten different types of children and ten different types of children. The Descendant Temple accepted the younger Shamei, ranking by grandun. A temple was divided into multiple families. In addition to the ownership of the temple, each family could also own private property, such as houses, gold and silver. After the teacher pays Yuan Ji, the disciple wants to divide up the inheritance. It is strictly stipulated in the temple that the duties of this temple must be performed by the monks of this temple. If a family wants to auction off their private property, they must sell it to other families in this temple. Most of the temples in the Wutai Mountain belonged to the temple for descendants. He was the basic organization that maintained the prosperity of the Wutai Mountain's Buddhism. Ten square temple, not allowed to shave, monks all in accordance with the same name. The wandering monk enters the temple, hangs up the block, is one of the temple of course. As long as you observe the rules of abstinence and have the ability to perform important tasks, you can perform important tasks. Wutai Mountain's famous Ten Directions Temple had lion's nest, cool bridge, Green Mountain Temple, Ten Directions Hall, and so on. Among them, the Jade Mountain Temple had the greatest influence.

Wutai Mountain Temple, known as the 200 plus temples in the Northern Qi time. Tang can find 64 famous people in his middle school year. Song Jiayu could find 72 famous people in his year. Ming Wanli 31st Year (16O3), 90 gravestones, divided into four grades, including 12 great temples, 5 temples, 39 small temples in the mountains, and 34 forest names. At the beginning of Qing Dynasty, 104 temples were collected in the refurbishment of "Qing Liang Shan Zhi". Among them, there were 68 temples inside and 36 temples outside of the five monasteries. In the late Qing Dynasty, there were ten green temples and ten yellow temples in the temples of Wutai Mountain. In the whole mountain green and yellow temple, the first person named five places of destination, there are three green temples, for the Shitong Temple, pagoda temple, special temple; two yellow temples, for the Bodhisattva roof, LuoHou Temple. A survey conducted in 1956 revealed 124 temples, of which 99 were green temples and 25 were yellow temples. Forty three existing temples, including thirty-seven insides and six outsides.

Building Treasury

Today, the Wutai Mountain has become a rare treasure trove of ancient Chinese architecture.

The ancient wooden structure of temples preserved in China was the earliest relic of the Tang Dynasty. The great hall of Nanzhen Temple and the eastern hall of Guang Guang Temple are the ancestor and model of the wooden structure of Tang Dynasty. After the Tang Dynasty, Song, Liao, Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties all left the typical large wooden buildings in the Wutai Mountain. The buildings of the Tang Dynasty were simple and dignified, the buildings of Song Dynasty were soft and gorgeous, the buildings of Liao Jin were bold and dwindling, the buildings of Yuan Dynasty were coarse and natural, the construction rules of Ming Dynasty were strict and strict, the construction of Qing Dynasty was luxurious and exquisite, the construction of the period was complex and exquisite. The ancient wooden structures of the temples in the Wutai Mountain have a strong historical continuity, grand construction scale, fine components, complex styles, and unique techniques throughout the country. It could be said that the typical buildings of various historical periods preserved by the Wutai Mountain itself were a vast and extensive history of wooden structures in ancient temples in China.

The Wutai Mountain, and many pagodas and pagodas. In terms of materials used, there are brick towers, stone towers, glazed towers, wooden towers, iron towers, copper towers, silver towers, jade towers, crystal towers and so on. In terms of architectural structure, there are carriage-blocking towers, tiled towers, pavilions, pavilions, pagodas, golden throne towers, combined pagodas. In terms of nature, there are pagodas and tombstones. The buddhist pagodas are called the Seritta, the Spiritfount Pagoda, and the ordinary worship pagoda. The tomb pagodas could be divided into the Gao Jian tomb pagoda and the general memorial pagoda. From an epoch perspective, the first one was the Northern Wei stone pagoda, which existed in all subsequent periods, and the latest one was the saritas built for the round and tall monks of the Wutai Mountain in recent years. From a scale perspective, the big one was 56.4 meters tall, pierced through the sky, and desired to compare with the Great Heaven. The smallest is only 0.05 meters, exquisite and exquisite. In view of the value of the monastic pagodas existing in the country, the Yuanjian Ayu King Pagoda at Yuanzhi Temple, the Sakyamuni Buddha Pagoda at Huitong Temple, the combined bronze pagoda at Xiantong Temple and the word pagoda Hua Yan Jing are all rare and valuable and can be claimed separately. The towers of the Wutai Mountain had been around for a long time, and they had a large number of materials, a wide variety of forms, and a myriad of properties. They were all rare in similar areas of the entire country.

The number of Buddha statues in the Wutai Mountain reached 17,445 after the relevant authorities investigated only 37 temples. The number of Buddha statues in the mountain would probably be many times higher than this number. In the use of materials and manufacturing, can be divided into eight types: clay sculpture (including suspended plastic and molds), metal casting (iron, copper, gilding, gold), stone carving (including jade carvings). It can be divided into whole carvings, relief carvings, rock carvings, wood carvings, porcelain sintered, tapestry, embroidery, portraits (including murals, axial paintings, scroll illustrations, leaf paintings). The earliest buddhist statues are relics of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and the art of the Keys is obvious. The largest number of Buddha statues are clay sculptures, which have been continuous since the Tang Dynasty, forming a unique and complete system of development. The rarest of them were the eighteen Arhat Paintings painted on the leaves of the Bodhi tree by the famous artist Ding Yunpeng. There were a total of 12 of them. The Wutai Mountain Buddha Statue had different raw materials, different craftsmanship, and different methods. The entire work was beautiful and beautiful with many different colors, it was like a rare treasure trove of buddhist art.

Strategy for the Wutai Mountain

[Transportation]

There were two routes to Wutai Mountain: one was by air transfer train from Taiyuan City (200 km), and the other was at 43 yuan.

One was a tourist car (48 km) from the Wutai Mountain train station, which cost 10 yuan.

If they were going from the direction of Taiyuan to the Wutai Mountain, it would be best if they were to take the long distance train from Taiyuan. This was because there were very few people who were going to the Wutai Mountain from the train station.

If you want to go from Wutai Mountain to Hengshan and Datong, you can take a bus to the Wutai Mountain railway station and then transfer to Datong's long-distance bus (via Hengshan).

From Beijing: The train to the Wutai Mountain arrived at 4 a.m. once, and every day there was a van waiting for them at the station, but in the off-season it was hard to find a full train. If there were not many tourists from the north, it would be best to arrange a trip to Taiyuan in the off-season, and then take a bus from Taiyuan to Wutai Mountain. This way, he would have a greater chance of success.

[Ticket]

The student certificates mentioned below include postgraduate certificates.

Entering the mountain ticket 90 yuan per person, using a student card can be half price.

Taichung temple tickets generally do not exceed 5 yuan per person, the small temple generally does not charge tickets. Holding the student's card can ask two people to buy a ticket jointly, there is no separate printed student's ticket.

The Pantheon Temple: 4 Dollars (

Pagoda temple: 4 yuan

Xitong Temple: 6 yuan

Garden Reflection Temple: 4 Dollars (TL: Dollars: Dollars = Dollars =

Bodhisattva Top: 5 yuan

Rahu Temple: 4 RMB

Zhu Fu Temple: 4 yuan

If you are used to giving kung fu, you should prepare some change. There are places for it all over the place.

Now the fee to enter Wutai Mountain is 90 yuan for each person, and the price to go to the top of each platform is 50 yuan per person. It is 80 yuan per person for two adjacent stations to go to the top of each platform (only the east, north, middle and west stations are considered as neighbors). If all five stations go to the top, it is 186 yuan per person. The fee was relatively expensive.

[Accommodation]

The standard room of a general scale hotel can be up to 50 yuan per room, no air conditioning. The average summer temperature in the Wutai Mountain is at least 10 degrees lower than that in Beijing, so air-conditioning is not available.

You can live in a private home in Taiwai Town for 8 to 10 yuan per person/night

[Clothing]

In the middle of summer, the temperature at night in Wutai Mountain was still very low. Long sleeved pants and clothes were a must.

If you just want to bring a convenient raincoat, you have to make sure that there are at least one raincoat a day.

[Diet Shopping]

The town's diet is relatively cheap, recommended Shanxi all kinds of flavors of pasta, such as wickerwork, nakedness, pickled seeds, knife cut noodles, oil cake, scallion cake, and so on. There was no harm in having a vegetarian fast food in Wutai Mountain. It would be best if he could go to a specialized vegetarian restaurant.

In shopping, supermarkets and shops can bargain, if you need to buy daily necessities do not forget.

The special souvenirs of the Wutai Mountain are mainly rosary beads, amulets, wooden bowls and mushrooms. I personally recommend rosary beads and amulets, because I can go to the temple and ask Master to enlighten me. The wooden bowls were made in a more ordinary way, so it was impossible to see the characteristics of Taishan. If you can cook at home, buy a few packets of Tasmania, you can say ten dollars and three bags, remember to buy that small black, Te Wai town restaurants are made with this kind of mushrooms Mushroom speciality.

[Suggestion]

The cost of going to the Wutai Mountain was relatively high, but staying in Tai Huai Town for a few more days wasn't too high, so he might as well calm down and enjoy it. Pure and flourishing Buddhist culture was rarely seen here, and the scenery of the Wutai Mountain wasn't too bad.

Source: Comprehension of Leisure Tourism

The first record of the five famous mountains in the official history is "The Book of Northern Qi, The Legend of Bai Jian". Because it accumulates ice all year round, the climate in the mountain is cold, every April thaw, September snow, the roof of the platform is hard ice year after year, the climate is cool in midsummer, there is no heat to say, so it is also called "Qingliang Mountain." It was here that the Northern Wei Dynasty built the Gongfu Temple. In the Northern Qi Dynasty, there were more than 200 monasteries. The Sui and Wen Emperors Yang Jian once intended to build a temple on each of the five roofs and set up a monument. In the Tang Dynasty, Japanese and other monks from other countries came to pay their respects. At the time of Kaiyuan (713-741), five monasteries were at their peak. There were 12 monasteries, but of course, there were also 10 monasteries. We don't need to dig into who is right or wrong. All you need to know is that in the golden age of the Tang Dynasty's Kaiyuan, the five monasteries were also flourishing for a time. At that time, all the sects and schools of Chinese Buddhism were all active in the Wutai Mountain, so it was impossible for any of them to dominate it! The world is public!

A historical record of the situation of the monasteries in the mountainous regions during the first five generations of the《 Wutai Mountain Diagram》 in the 61 Cave of the Dunhuang. It was said that this map was passed from the middle Tang Dynasty to Japan, then to Dunhuang and was painted on by Dunhuang. In the end, the painting was returned to its original owner. After the Tang Dynasty was destroyed, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing emperors built monasteries in the Wutai Mountain. After the mid-Qing Jiaxing (1796-1820), the Wutai Mountain began to gradually decline. According to Ming "Qing Liang Shan Zhi", the first temple was built in Yongping during the Eastern Han Dynasty. Legend has it that Taihuai Town and the west side of the mountain are similar to the ancient India's Spirit Vultures Mountain. Therefore, the first temple of the Wutai Mountain was called Great Fu Spirit Eagle Temple. Since then, Wei, Qi, Sui, Tang and the end of Qing Dynasty, has been built, very changed. At present, Taichi has 39 temples and 8 temples on the outside and on the inside. The buildings are magnificent and the sculptures are exquisite. Colorful statues can be found all over the temples. The entire mountain was filled with temples, clear flowing water, green mountains, and beautiful scenery. The more famous monasteries are the Shitong Temple, the Pagoda Temple, the Bodhisattva, the Special Temple, the South Zen Temple, the Buddhist Light Temple, the Yanqing Temple, the Guangji Temple and so on. The Wutai Mountain still retains many sculptures, monuments, tombstones, pagodas and sutras, which are of great significance and value in the history of Buddhism in China. However, who would have thought that at the beginning of this chaotic fifth generation world, the Wutai Mountain would actually make an appearance. Who would have thought that the clan of the Son of Heaven would work for whom?
