Hello, friends! Welcome to the beautiful "banyan city" Fuzhou, I am __travel agency tour guide __.
There is an old saying in Fuzhou that "Left Banner and right drum are thebest in Fujian". Today, we will visit Gushan, one of the best in Fujian. GUSHAN,located in the southeast of Fuzhou, is a famous cultural mountain with a longhistory in our province and one of the top ten scenic spots in the province. Itis said that there is a huge stone at the top of the peak, which is like a drum.Whenever there is wind and rain, the rain will make a sound like a drum, so itis called Gushan. Do you remember the drum rock we saw yesterday on GulangyuIsland in Xiamen? It was also named after the "thumping" drum sound of the wavesbeating on the rocks. Zhu Xi, a famous Neo Confucianist of the Southern SongDynasty, left a literary story of "the wind of heaven and the waves of the sea"in Gushan, and Lin Zexu also left a masterpiece of "the sea is boundless, thesky is the shore, the mountain is the top, I am the peak". Since the SongDynasty, there have been more than 480 cliff inscriptions left on the mountainby the literati of all dynasties. There are all kinds of fonts, which are like anatural treasure house of stone calligraphy. It is known as the "forest ofsoutheast steles".
My friends, now let's enter this magnificent hall of calligraphy art tohave a good look! Look! The four words "deep in the spiritual source" at theentrance of the cave are written by Yuan Xian, a monk living in the mountains inthe Qing Dynasty. The surface meaning indicates the place name, while the innermeaning tells later generations that the inscriptions in this area are theemotional expression of the predecessors' hearts and the exhibition of theelegant cultural palace.
Down the steep stone steps, you can see that the surrounding mountains arevery different and the scenery is quiet. It seems that you have arrived at afairyland and a paradise. Do you feel relaxed and happy when you take a deepbreath?
The most famous cliff inscription in Lingyuan cave is the handwriting ofCAI Xiang, one of the four greatest calligraphers in Song Dynasty. Look at this"forget to return stone", which is also the earliest stone inscription inGushan. Cai Xiang was born in Xianyou, Fujian Province. He was a famousstatesman and calligrapher in the Northern Song Dynasty. When he was themagistrate of Fuzhou, he liked to visit Gushan very much and often forgot toreturn. Once, he wandered through the beautiful scenery in the mountains,forgetting the time. When he was urged repeatedly, he realized that it wasgetting late, so he wrote "forget to return stone". These three words havealready expressed his reluctant feelings. If any tourist forgets to returnlater, he can't find a stone to leave his calligraphy!
Well, now we see three big characters engraved on this rock wall. Who canrecite them? The child said it's too simple. It's a place to drink water. Healso asked why there is no water. In fact, if the word doesn't recite water,why? Let me tell you a little story: it's said that master Yan, the founder ofYongquan temple in ancient times, recited scriptures here. He thought that thesound of the spring influenced the chanting Stop the running water with a bigdrink. Since then, the stream has been diverted to the East, and the stream herehas dried up. Therefore, these three words read "drinking water rock". Ofcourse, it's just a folk legend. In fact, the terrain at this time is a rockfracture zone geologically. Due to the crustal movement, a fracture surface isformed, and the surface water seeps down the fracture surface. Of course, thereis no water, not one who can drink water back. Is it better to have water or nowater here? A hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contendhere. Xu Xizhi, a scholar of the Song Dynasty, expounded his point of view inhis stone carving poem. Looking at this stone tablet, he wrote: "the mountainsare heavy, the mountains are complex, the lock is loose, only the sound of thespring is not enough. If I had been at my teacher's side in those years, I wouldnot have taught to drink water to cross other mountains." He thought that therewere so many mountains here that there was no water. If he had been there, hewould have advised the master not to change the way of the stream. Yu Dafu, amodern litterateur, once expressed great emotion here. He said, "it's strangethat he came from the source of his liveliness and never came back for athousand years." We are here today. I don't know if you all feel the same.However, in order to make up for this great regret, I don't know which ancientsage has a unique idea. The inscription "without water is also good" beside thestone really makes the tourists look back and smile, which means a lot.
Lingyuan cave in Gushan has a deep stone Valley, which is a valley invalley landscape. In the spring of 1982, when Master Liu Haisu was 87 years old,he visited Lingyuan cave and wrote four big words: "better than Tianzhu",praising the scenery and forest of Steles here.
My friends, due to the limited time, there are still many scenic spots notseen. I hope you have a chance to come to Gushan again, listen to the endlessstories, watch the endless beautiful scenery, and share a happy moment again!Thank you.
