飞霞风景名胜区_语音导游词

    各位游客，大家好!欢迎你们来到飞霞风景名胜区参观游览。

    飞霞风景名胜区总面积52平方公里，由北江峡江景区、飞来古寺景区、三霞洞观景区、紫竹钟声景区、螺星翠林景区等5大景区组成。其中最具代表性的是飞来 峡、飞来寺、飞霞洞、藏霞洞、锦霞禅院和孔圣庙等景点，它们均分布在飞霞山的密林幽谷之中，有山有水，有古有令，四时皆景，风格各异。来到这里，您可能会处处听到赞美飞霞山的话语，那就是“峡江美”、“飞来古”、“飞霞奇”。好，现在我就顺着这样的一条游览线路，带领着大家踏上畅游飞霞景区的开心之旅。

    【游览飞来峡江景区】各位游客，现在我们开始游览飞来峡江景区。我们的游船所在的北江，全长五百多公里，流域面积四万七千多平方公里，与西江、东江井称广东三大河流。北江有东、西两个源头，东源头名叫浈水，出自江西省信丰县：西源头名叫武水。出自湖南省临武县。两道水源流到广东省韶关市汇合，称为北江，经过我 们清远，在佛山三水附近同西江汇合，汇入珠江口。从英德到清远市区的百里画廊，是北江水面最为宽阔的的路段。我们现在溯源而上，进入北江三峡的中宿峡。因为千年古寺飞来寺声名远播，所以中宿峡也叫飞来峡。在到达飞来峡之前，我和各位贵宾先分享一下清远的旅游文化资源。

    清远的旅游文化资源，按照地域以及文化特征，可以划分为三大板块：峡山文化、湟川文化、瑶壮文化。

    瑶壮文化，是以连南、连山瑶寨壮乡为代表的少数民族文化，涵盖连南、连山两个少数民族自治县以及清远其他县域的少数民族乡。

    瑶壮文化，以独特的瑶族和壮族民族风情，传承着神秘而绚丽多姿的少数民族文化。

    湟川文化，是以湟川为中心、包括连江沿岸地域所形成的历史文化，湟川概念涵盖的地域是连州、阳山地区和连南的部分地区。

    湟川文化以包容开放、多元融汇形成“通道文化”。连州骑田岭南天门古道和连江水网，是古代南北经济往来的黄金走廊、文化交流的绿色通道，也曾作为关隘发挥军事作用。南天门古道从连州直达荆楚，成为沟通岭南与中原第一条完整的官道。南北商货从此流通，中原的文化加速向岭南传播，使岭南民风民俗发生变化，人才辈 出。也使湟川文化成为清远文化最早的核心板块，并一直维系到连卅一带古关、古道经济功能的渐渐弱化，才使这个核心转移到峡江。

    峡山文化，是以我们今天将要游览的飞来峡、飞霞山一带为中心形成的历史文化。峡山作为文化概念，涵盖的地域是英德、佛冈、清远市区。

    峡山文化发端于“天下第十九福地”，古代叫清远山，也就是今天的飞来寺所在地。西汉景帝年间(公元前156—140)，茅山派祖师茅盈在他所著的《茅君内传》一书中，就把清远峡山列入全国道家仙山七十二福地、名列第十九，这就是“十九福地”的来历。经过两千多年的发展，形成了道教文化、佛教文化和儒家思想 三家圆融合一的特征，十九福地佛教、道教同在一个山头，飞霞山儒释道的三家祖师共聚一堂，对话千年。

    我们现在进入中宿峡。

    “中宿峡”是汉朝的时候起的名。那时候，清远也因为中宿峡的名气大而曾经命名为“中宿县”。中宿峡全长9公里，两岸各有36峰，峰峰有名，千姿百态。当年，大文豪苏东坡留下了“天开清远峡，地转凝碧湾”的诗句，赞美这一带的绿水青山，赞叹大自然的鬼斧神工。

    一河两岸，树木葱茏，历代兴建的寺、观、亭、楼，都有意隐没在树木葱茏、山光水色之间，形成古雅清幽的天人之作。每当风和日丽的日子，水不扬波，山峦青翠欲滴，江湾碧绿澄清，诗情画意，令人陶醉。下雨的时节，烟水蒙蒙；雨后的山中，云霞缥缈，这就是著名的“飞霞烟雨”。

    这一带“风光誉南国，古迹遍峡山”，风光旖旎，传奇丰富，牵动了很多文人墨客的情思。唐代沈佺期、宋之问、张说、张九龄、韩愈、李翱，宋朝苏东坡、米芾、方信孺、杨万里，明代汤显祖、海瑞，清代朱彝尊、屈大均、袁枚等文士名臣，都在峡山一带留下了诗词歌赋或墨宝。

    唐代并称“沈宋”的著名诗人沈佺期、宋之问，各在峡山留下五言排律一首，都有佳句。

    沈俭期的《早入清远峡》写道：

    两岩天作带，万壑树披衣。

    宋之问的《峡山》写道：

    两峰支碧汉，一水抱清湾……奇哉真福地。千古镇人寰。”

    语言清丽而平实的杨万里，为此写下了《峡山寺竹枝词》五首，其中一首道尽古时飞来峡的水急滩险：

    一滩过了一滩奔，一石横来一石蹲；

    若怨古来天设险，峡山不过也由君。

    方信孺和苏东坡一样，赞叹太自然的鬼斧神工。写下了非常美丽的诗篇：

    谁将神斧劈山开，万顷波涛天上来。

    峡岸繁花迷去所，不知身入武陵台。

    除了这些文士之外，千年香火鼎盛的飞来寺，也产生了几十位诗僧一也就是和尚诗人，他们的诗歌，不仅是另一种韵味，而且艺术成就相当高。

    元代诗僧、飞来寺的住持释明颜，写了首《雨后飞来寺》，是禅诗中的妙品。

    白云散尽四山清，叠叠重重列画屏。

    默念弥陀趺坐久，天花无数落空庭。

    雨洗山清，白云散尽，层峦叠嶂如画；盘腿修定，口念佛号，天上的无数花瓣飘落空空的庭院。“天花无数落空庭”，不是实景，也不是普通的文学夸张手法，而是禅定时慧眼所看到的内在心象。这个花，也不是现实当中的花，明心见性，以诗证禅。是拈花一笑、领悟佛法妙谛的花。

    在峡山文化当中，除了上面提到的文人墨客的诗歌辞赋、禅意诗篇，还有许多美丽、神奇的传说，以及大量的石刻，他们共同构成了峡山文化的四大支柱。

【游览飞来寺】

    刚才，我给大家介绍了峡山文化的基本情况，现在，我们已经来到峡山文化的发祥地——十九福地和飞来寺。

    这个地方古称清远山、峡山，为道家第十九福地。传说梁武帝普通元年，也就是公元520年，黄帝的两个儿予太禺、仲阳玩赏峡山夜景。他们面对这样一个好地方，觉得缺少一点东西。于是，想到了在这里建一座佛寺。

    他们腾云驾雾飞到了安徽延祚寺上空，按落云头，降到寺里的广庭。太禺对主持贞俊禅师说：“我们刚从清远峡山飞来，那里是个胜地，大可以立一道场，师父肯去吗?”

    仲阳接着说道：“我们连这个宝刹也搬过去，你同意了吗?”

    禅师知道来了二位神仙，一时不知如何回答。

    到了三更时分，雷电交加，风雨大作，地动山摇。延柞寺在空中穿云越雾，徐徐飞行。黎明时分，终于降落在峡山顶上，贞俊禅师睁开眼睛两位神人已经不见。贞俊禅师想试试自己的佛力，高声念道：“寺能飞来，为什么不能飞去?”谁知空中竟传来一声回答：“动不如静。”他知道大寺已经落地生根了。他在寺里走了一圈，只见除了偏殿崩塌一角之外，大殿庄严壮丽，丝毫不变，其他禅房僧室也都如常。开门再看：只见奇峰环抱，云霞缭绕，林木参天，飞泉泻谷，果真是一个胜地。便满 心欢喜地住下来。

    偏殿崩塌一角，是因为飞过江西的时候，撞到了梅岭的峰顶，这就是南雄的“挂角寺”。后来又叫做云封寺。

    大寺飞来，惊动了附近的芸芸众生，上山参观，络绎不绝，并且不约而同把它叫做飞来寺，梁武帝给它赐名至德寺，倒没有人理睬。后来竟连峡山也被称为飞来峡，成为一个游览区了。古寺从此坐镇峡山并因此而得名，佛道和谐相依，建飞泉亭、交影亭、爱山亭、归猿洞等十余处佳境。后来，人们听说是黄帝的两位儿子搬来的， 就在附近建了一座帝子祠来纪念他们。

    文献记载，飞来寺始建于梁武帝普通元年(公元520年)，与南华寺、白云寺并称为岭南三大古刹。古寺原建在半山，元代天历二年重修并大规模扩建，成为当时岭 南最大的寺庙，也称“清远峡山寺”。开山祖师名叫贞俊，因为历代都有高僧大德住持，并且有第十九福地牌坊、读书台、东坡亭、九级瀑布、归猿洞等胜迹，所以香火鼎盛。1997年5月8日，遭千年一遇的洪劫，江边寺庙尽被冲毁。2004年6月16日，经政府广结善缘、善长仁翁竭力捐助，飞来寺重建开光。

    在诸多胜迹中，归猿洞的传说最为耐人寻味。

    据《禺峡山志》记载：相传唐朝广德年间，举人孙恪上京赶考名落孙山，在洛阳闲游，误入魏王池畔袁氏大宅，邂逅袁姓女子，并一见钟情，结为连理，生下两个儿子。十多年之后，孙恪南下广州赴任，船过峡山，到飞来寺求福。当袁氏夫人听山上猿声四起，便匆匆卸下手腕上佩戴着的玉环，交给老和尚惠幽之后，与丈夫和两 个儿子哭别。接着现出原形，追赶猿群返回飞来寺后面的深山。原来袁氏就是惠幽早年驯化、赠给唐朝天子的白猿。在“安史之乱”中走失，嫁给孙恪。惠幽见到玉环，认出白猿的真面目。当袁氏恢复原形返回深山后，孙恪父子悲痛欲绝。两个儿子带着母荣留下的金锁，一头栽进北江的深潭，化为两头犀牛。每逢农历十五月圆 之夜，它们都会浮出水面，封着飞来寺后面的仙猿峰痛哭长啸。原来孙恪的两个儿子本是峡江中的两头犀牛，与袁氏有着一段母子之缘。  

    人猿相恋，给人无限的想象空间；悲剧的美，反映了受众对于人性中、社会上苦难、伤痛与无奈的共鸣与理解，最能撼动心灵。不仅随后有“猿带玉环归洞后、犀连金锁下滩前”，“澄潭西去沉金锁、古洞猿归带玉环”等题咏，至今一直是取之不竭用之不尽的素材。到2007年，市政协为清远建市二十周年开展“二十周年二十支曲”粤曲创演大赛活动，以峡山归猿为素材创作的作品就有三件之多，两部小戏、一个粤曲对唱。由此可见峡山文化影响之深。

现在。请随我参观，一起体验这个峡山文化的发祥地。

【游览飞霞山】

    各位朋友：飞霞山就要到了。飞霞山上，也有“三霞”，但不是峡谷的“峡”，是云霞的“霞”这是因为，飞霞山上有飞霞古洞、藏霞古洞与锦霞禅院，台称为“三霞”。

【飞霞古洞】

    这是飞霞古洞，始建于1911年，建筑面积两万多平方米，有200多问厅，堂、客房，在岭南诸省的名山洞府当中首届一指。古洞供奉着儒、释、道三家祖师以及众多仙佛。

    为什么起名叫“飞霞”呢?这与飞霞洞创始人麦清扬和本地的风光特点有关。据说麦清扬在飞霞洞基本完工时，曾和手下一班人走上旁边独松峰顶上，边欣赏边思考起名的问题。这时刚好雨过天睛，一团团霞雾从山谷升起，殿宇上空云蒸霞蔚，非常壮观。看到此情此景，麦清扬猛然联想到唐代诗人王勃《滕王阁序》中的佳句： “落霞与孤鹜齐飞，秋水共长天一色”。于是，他马上决定从第一句找出“飞霞”两字作为洞名，再从第二名找出“长天”两字为自己的字。就这样，这个洞就叫“飞霞洞”，而他自己也从此改名叫“麦长天”了。各位贵宾：这位麦长天当年为了飞霞古洞的筹建，曾在东南亚一带发动信徒筹集资金，历经17年艰辛，最后才 建成了飞霞古洞。

    现在我们来到飞霞古洞的主殿“三教圣真殿”，又简称“三教殿”。它是飞霞创建人麦长天的一个创造。将中间那位佛教创建人“释迦牟尼”、左边的道教创始人“太上老君”和右边的儒家始祖“孔夫子”——即“懦、释、道”三家的创建人，都供奉在一个殿堂内。麦长天还独创了一种莲花灯，宣传“红花白藕青荷叶，三教本来是一 家”，说儒释道三家就像红莲花、白莲藕、青荷叶，表象虽然不同，实质上本体归一。麦长天的思想体现了一种圆融和谐、世界大同的崇高境界，令飞霞古洞在相当长的一段时间里，香火鼎盛，也使百里画廊人文蔚起，为清远峡山文化注入了新的亮点。正是：

    一江清远，百里画廊，行来始觉山川美；

    两岸风光，千秋福地，到此方知境界高。

这是无极宫。它是飞霞主体建筑的最高层，叫“无极宫”，又叫“瑶池金母殿”。供奉的是王母娘娘，也就是玉皇大帝的母亲。这个殿在其他地方是极少见的。为什么耍建这个殿呢?这也跟麦长天的经营思想有关。在建造飞霞洞时，麦长天千方百计想在规模、气势等方面超过旁边的藏霞古洞。麦长天知道，藏霞洞有一个玉皇殿，里面供奉着玉皇大帝。一般来说，玉皇大帝已经是至高无尚了，没有什么神能超越他。麦长天找来找去，最后终于在《西游记》中找到了玉皇大帝的母亲王母娘娘， 也就是这个瑶池金母。他认为，你藏霞洞有玉皇大帝殿，我飞霞洞有玉皇大帝母亲的殿，不是比你更高一层了吗?于是，麦长天就建了我们现在看到的这个“瑶池金 母殿”，其意思就是“永无止境”和“最高层次”。

【藏霞古洞】

    现在我们开始参观藏霞古洞。藏霞洞处在密林深处和幽谷之中，是一座先于飞霞洞开发数十年的洞观，建于清代同治二年(1863年)，至同治九年竣工，创建人是 清远道教徒林法善大师。“藏霞”的命名，据说是因为天空中的云霞飘到这里就很少流动，而且经久不散，因此称之为“藏霞”。这里在上午和黄昏时分，庙宇常常是深藏在虚无缥缈的云雾之中，若隐若现。宛如仙境一般。站在藏霞古洞的大门，看到的是道教王灵宫的神像。他后面两边各有一棵百年树龄的桂花树。每逢深秋花 季，这里挂满金黄色的桂花，香飘四溢。前面还有道教中的“柳、樟、榆”三位神仙，故叫为“三仙宝殿”。站在三仙宝殿前放眼四周，左是狮山，右是象山，对面是螺星岭。这里确实是一块十分神奇的地方。

【锦霞禅院】

    各位朋友：我们现在看到的是“锦霞禅院”。禅院在飞霞、藏霞两洞下面的中间，与飞霞、藏霞鼎足而立。它前身叫“壶天少驻”，始建于清宣统三年(即1911 年)。原先是麦长天筹建飞霞洞时的暂住地，所以又叫“飞霞初地”。飞霞洞建筑工程全面竣工之后，麦长天又于1933年将它改建为禅院。这里四面环山，每天 只有正午前后可获得较多的阳光照射，加上树木荫蔽，环境非常清幽。周围种有很多花木，桃花树、李子树、梅花树、紫荆花、玉兰花等等，春暖花开时节，到处繁花锦簇，灿若明霞，故称“锦霞”。

    院前有一条溪涧横过，每当阳春三月，桃花在这里盛开，因而锦霞禅院叉称“桃花村”。现在村前门楼上仍然刻有一幅楹联：“桃花蟠结千秋果，源水潆洄十里村”，所赞的就是这里的秀美景色。再说当年飞霞洞建好之后，麦长天就搬过去住了下来，而他为了不让这里丢空，就在这里供奉观音菩萨。观音是属佛教的，所以叫“锦 霞禅院”。

    此外，这山上 还有长天塔、修行精舍、轩辕黄帝庙、松峰亭、洗心飞瀑等多个景观。近年来，飞霞景区基础设施和服务条件不断完善。河鲜市场为游人提供多种北江河鲜和土特产品，各种车船只为游人提供游山玩水工具。飞霞别墅、乐普山房和飞霞山庄为游人提供不同档次的餐旅服务。同时飞霞山还建有游泳池、篮球场、歌舞厅、滑索等娱 乐运动项目。每年一度的“飞霞庙会”也于春节期间在这里举行。

【孔圣庙】

    最后，我给大家介绍坐落在飞霞北江岸边洞口广场的孔圣庙。它占地1.3方平方米，总建筑面积2千平方米，由牌坊、孔圣殿、名贤殿、碑廊和陈列馆等组成。大家知道，飞霞山是岭南三教名山，它除了“三教祖师同供一殿”的飞霞洞外，还有佛寺飞来寺、道观藏霞洞，却缺了一座儒家的孔庙。而景区新建的孔圣庙正式落成并 对外开放，正好填补了这一空白，从而使广东名山一飞霞山成为名副其实的“三教同山”。

    孔圣庙中间为孔圣殿，供着圣人孔夫子及颜回、曾参、孔攸、孟轲、朱熹等12先哲。庙的两旁为名贤殿，里面塑有驻留过清远的张九龄等12位名流贤士。两边则是 东西碑廊：东碑廊镌刻着朱汝珍、关山月、陈永正、郭子绪、王楚材等古今书法家的作品；西碑廊则是“儒典精要壁”。刻有3万余字，都是“四书五经”中的经典 章节。殿外广场上，是雕栏玉砌，绿草茵茵，盛开的杜鹃和紫荆花缎陈其间。可见，孔圣庙不是简单的仿古建筑工程，而是一项盛大的文化建筑工程。作为伟大的教育家，孔子的思想影响了一代又一代的后人，在广东建设文化强省的今天，孔圣庙的建成必将起到积极的促进作用。

    游客们，飞霞风景区中各个景点构成的这一幅绚丽多姿的画卷，令大家流连忘返。的确，“峡江”美、“飞来”古、“三霞”奇，这神仙般的画景、画意是会令你心旷神怡的。相信，通过我这么一番的讲解，大家会对飞霞山有一个初步的认识。同时，愿这里的山山水水、愿底蕴深厚的峡山文化能给您留下深刻而美好的记忆。

Feixia Scenic Area

    Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to visit Feixia scenic area.

    Feixia scenic area with a total area of 52 square kilometers, is composed of five major scenic spots, including the Beijiang River Three Gorges scenic spot, Feilai Temple scenic area, three holes, bell resorts, Luoxing forest scenic spots. The most representative attractions are Feilai canyon, Feilai temple, Fexia Dong, Cangxia Dong, Jin Xia temple and Confucius Temple.

    Here we come to visit the Feilai canyon scenic area. The Beijiang River, with a total length of more than 500 kilometers and the drainage area of 47,000 square kilometers, together with Xijiang river and Dongjiang river are reputed as well known three major rivers in Guangdong. Beijiang River comes from two sources,which join up with each other in Shaoguang city. Source on the east originated from Xinfeng County, Jiangxi province. Source on the west originated from Linwu County, Hunan province. The scenery gallery from Yingde to Qingyuan City, is the most wide sections of road along Beijiang River. We are now traveling the Zhongsu gorge of the Three Gorges of Beijiang River. The Zhongsu gorge is also known as the Feilai Conyon.

    Before  reaching Feilai canyon, I’d like to share tourism cultural resources of Qingyuan with you frist. According to geographical and cultural characteristics, tourism cultural resources of Qingyuan can be divided into three sections, including Xiashan culture, Huangchuan River culture, as well as Yao and Zhuang autonomous culture.

    Among them, Yao and Zhuang autonomous culture mainly displays the minority culture ofLiannan and Lianshan Yao village, which covering two ethnic minorities of Liannan and Lianshan Autonomous County and other minority townships in Qingyuan.

    Yao and Zhuang culture, with unique ethnic customs of Yao and Zhuang autonomous, carries the mysterious and colorful ethnic culture. Huangchuan river culture with Huangchuan as the main part, together with the history and culture of Lianjiang coastal areas, covers area including Lianzhou, Yangshan and parts of Liannan County.

    South Gate Road of Lianzhou Qitian Ling and Lianjiang river network, are the green channel of the corridor for North and South economic exchanges and cultural exchanges at ancient time, also served as military role. South Gate Road from Lianzhou to Chu has became the first official road connecting with Lingnan and the Central Plains area. Since then, commercial goods from north to south has opened, to accelerate the spread of the Central Plains culture to Lingnan which brought great change of Lingnan folk customs.

    Xiashan culture refers  to the historical culture of Feilai canyon and Feixia mountain, and its cultural concept covering Yingde,Fogang and Qingyuan.

    Xiashan culture is originated from the nineteenth blessed paradise which is named as Qingyuan mountain at ancient time, where the Feilai Temple is located. In the Western Han Dynasty, Qingyuan Xiashan mountain is included in the national 70 blessed Taoism mountains. After the development for about two thousand years, it formed as a mountain with the Taoism culture, Buddhism culture and Confucianism culture.

Weare now going to enter the Zhongsu Canyon.

    The name of Zhongsu Canyon has been used since Han Dynasty. At that time, Qingyuan was also once named as Zhongsu County. Zhongsu canyon, with a total length of 9 km,has 36 peaks on its both sides which shaped in different poses and with different expressions. At that time, the writer Su Dongpo left a poem to praise the beautiful scenery and nature's extraordinary of this area.

    Here the ancient temple, pavilion and buildings are hidden among the verdant trees, forming quaint and quiet beauty. Whenever a sunny day, the verdant hills and green bay is really intoxicating. In rainy season, misty mountains and clouds formed the famous scenery of Misty Rain of Fei Xia.

    With an exquisite scenery, this area has been attracted many writers and painters visit here and left poetry or calligraphy since ancient time, such as Zhang Jiuling,Han Yu in Tang Dynasty; Su dongpo, Yang Wanli in Song dynasty; Tang Xianzu in Ming dynasty and Qu Dajun in Qing dynasty.

    In addition to these scribes, there’re also a dozens of monk poets. Their poetry is not only rich in special flavor but also enjoys a very high artistic achievement.

    In addition to the poems or paintings in the mountain culture above mentioned, there are also many beautiful and magical legend, as well as a large number of stone,forming the four major attractions of Xiashan culture.

    Now,we have come to the birthplace of Xiashan culture, which is the nineteenth blessed paradise and Feilai Temple.

    Originally this place was known as Qingyuan Mountain, as nineteenth blessed paradise for Taoism. It is said that Taiyu and Zhongyang who were sons of emperor Huang came to here in 520 years AD. They came up with an idea of building a temple here when they faced with such a good place.

    They flew over the Anhui Yanzuo temple through clouds, and settle down on the square.Taiyu said to Buddhist monk that there’s a best place for Taoism in Feilai mountain in Qingyuan and suggested that he ought to set up a Taoism place there.Buddhist monk had no idea how to answer them when he knew two gods came to visit him.

    In the mid-night, with thunder and lightning, wind and rain, the earth was moving.Through the clouds and fog in the air, Yan Zuo temple finally landed at the top of the Feixia mountain at dawn. When Buddhist monk opened his eyes know temple has taken root in Qingyuan. He walked around in the temple found that the magnificent hall and other monks rooms are also as usual in Buddhist temple except a collapse on the corner of the hall. Opening the door, it is surrounded by peaks,towering trees, waterfalls and valley, is really a resort. And the collapse was made when the temple flying through Meiling and hit the peak of it in Jiangxi province,this is the Gua jiao temple in Nanxiong. Later was named Yunfeng temple.

    The Flying temple alerted numerous people nearby to visit the mountain and they called it Feilai temple. Emperor Liang has named it as Zhide temple and later also known as Feilai canyon as a tourist area. Besides, there’re also Feiquan pavilion,Jiaoying pavilion, Aishan pavilion and ape hole and more than ten of the attractions.Later, people heard that this temple was moved by the two sons of emperor Huang Di, thus they built a temple to commemorate them.

    According to the record, flying temple was first built in 520 AD, together with Nanhua temple and Baiyun temple were known as three major ancient temples in Lingnan. Temple was originally built in the mid-mountain and has became the biggest temple in Lingnan after the large-scale expansion during Yuan Dynasty, which also knownas the Xiashan temple in Qingyuan. The founder named Zhen Jun. What’s more, there’re also memorial arch, reading platform, Dongpo Pavilion, waterfalls and ape hole. In May 8, 1997, the temple was washed out bythe river. In June 16, 2004, the government appealed philanthropists to donate money to rebuilt Feilai temple.

    Among the famous historical site, the legend of the ape hole is the most touching.

    According to records in Tang Dynasty, Sun Ke failed in exam in Beijing then traveled in Luoyang.He met a woman whose surnamed is Yuan, they get married and gave birth to two sons. When Ms. Yuan heard ape cries on the hill, she removed jade bracelet onher wrist to the old monk later and said goodbye with her husband and sons. After more than a decade, Sun ke with his family came to Feilai temple to pray for blessing. Then she turned into as an ape and returned to the forest behind Feilai Temple. Originally Ms. Yuan was the white ape that the old monk had donated to Tang emperor. When Yuan restored the prototype and returned mountains, Sun Ke and his son was distraught. His two sons with gold locks his mother left plunging into the river and turned into two rhinoceros. His sons werethe rhinoceros in Xiajiang river and had a fate with Ms.Yuan.

    The story of human felt in love with ape has been used as the inexhaustible material to public. In 2007, Qingyuan government has carried out Cantonese Opera contest activity for the 20th anniversary of Qingyuan, two operas and a Cantonese duet also referring to story between human and ape. This shows that the Xiashan cultural impact deeply in pulicity.

    Now,please follow me to experience the birthplace of  Xiashan culture.

    This is Feixia Ancient Cave, was founded in 1911. Covering the construction area of 20000 square meters, there are more than 200 rooms and halls. It was used to worship three patriarchs of the Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and numerous Buddhas.

    The name of Feixia is related to founder of Feilai Cave Mai Qingyang and the characteristics of the local scenery. It is said that Mai Qingyang once saw clouds of mist rising from the valley after the storm, thus named this templeas Feixia Cave. Ladies and gentlemen, in order to build Feixia ancient cave,Mai Qingyang had launched believers to raise funds in Southeast Asia area. Then 17 years later, the Feixia ancient cave was successfully built finally.

    Now we come to the main hall of Feixia ancient cave, which is called three religions palace. In the middle is Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism; On the left is the founder of Taoism named Lao Zi; On the right is Confucius who is the Confucian ancestor. The thought of Mai Qingyang reflects a lofty realm of harmony, which bring bright spot to Xianshan culture in Qingyuan.

    This is Wuji palace, it is the highest building of the main building in Feixia moutain. It is used to worship goddess Wang Mu who is the mother of the jade emperor.The reason why build this palace is related to the business ideas of Mai Qingyang.He believe that Feixia cave ranks higher than Cangxia cave, because there is Yuhuang palace used to worship Jade Emperor in Cangxia cave while there is temple usedto worship the mother of the jade emperor in Feixia cave.

    Now we come to visit the Cangxia ancient cave. Cangxia ancient cave, nestling in the forest and valley, was built in 1863 by Qingyuan Taoists master. Here the temple is often hidden in the illusory clouds like a fairyland in the morning and at dusk. Standing at the door of Cangxia cave you can see the statue of Taoist Wang Lingguan. Behind him there’s a hundred year old osmanthus tree stands on each side. In front of it is Sanxian palace which is used to worship three gods. Standing in front of palace and looking around, there’re Lion mountain onthe left, elephant mountain on the right and Luoxing Ling on opposite.

    Here we come to Jin Xia Temple. The temple, was constructed in 1911, situated below Feixiacave and Cangxia cave. It was formerly as temporary residence of Mai Qingyang,so called Fei Xia Chu Di. After the construction project of Feixia cave was completed,Mai Changtian turned it into a monastery temple in 1933. Here surrounded by mountains, only can get more sunlight at midday, with shade trees, the environment is very quiet. There are a lot of flowers and trees standing around,such as peach tree, plum tree, Bauhinia flower, jade orchid and so on.

    As tream running across the temple, whenever in March the peach blossoms here are in full bloom, so it is also known as Peach village. When Feixia temple was builtit was used to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva.

    In addition, this mountain has Changtian tower, practice abode, Huangdi temple,Song Feng pavilion, waterfall and many other scenic spots.
