The beautiful legend of Yunya Temple

People who come to Yunya Temple like to climb to the top to view the scenery. In midsummer, when you climb to the top of the Jade Emperor, you can see far into the distance. In the vast forest, there are beautiful ridges and peaks, row upon row, like eight hundred Arhats sitting in rows chanting sutras. Looking closely at Yunya, you can see four arches surrounding it from east to west, north and south, like stars holding the moon. Opposite the Nantai, it looks like a book of scriptures is opening, and it is like a returning crane spreading its wings, so there is a legend that "the returning crane comes to play". Behind the mountain, there are several peaks such as Taurus Peak, Snow Peak and Thunder Peak. There are two stone cracks on the long ridge in front of the mountain. Legend has it that a lama used magic to steal the golden bull from the Golden Bull Peak and then confiscated it. Bull nose". The Beitai behind the mountain is composed of five peaks including Bijia Mountain, Qipan Peak, Shenxian Table, Wotuofeng and Jinwa Temple Mountain. Together with Yunya Peak in front, it forms a picture of "Wulao Guan Tai Chi", which is full of interest. The east platform is on the left side of the main peak of Yunya, also known as Guanyin Mountain. It is a towering red cliff with thousands of feet. The wall close to Yunya is called Baxian Cliff. There are five caves on the cliff, including Guanyin Cave and Xiangzi Cave, and the cliff statues are vaguely visible. Behind Dongtai is Tiannv Peak. The mountain is so dangerous that it looks like a fairy descending from the sky. Opposite the east platform stands a cliff called Lion Ridge. It looks like a crouching lion with small peaks protruding from its back, like a sergeant lining up, so it is also called Marching Peak. To the right of the main peak of Yunya is Xitai, also known as Luohan Cliff. The eagle caves on the cliff face are built like honeycombs, which is commonly known as "Feng'er Baizi". There are many strange rocks on the top of the mountain, which are well-proportioned. The east and west platforms are symmetrical, like two wings, inserted on the body of the main peak of Yunya. Along the Yunya River, there are scenic spots such as Dasigou, Yanchangzi, and Hongya Temple. Dasi Valley has steep cliffs, lush forests and deep grass, with a rushing stream in the middle, crystal clear. The Dasi, West Temple, Dianwan and other grottoes are distributed in this ditch. The imprints of the ancient plank roads between the cliffs are still clear. Officials from the Zhuanglang County Tourism Bureau said that Yunya Temple and surrounding temples echo each other from a distance, and there are traces of ancient life everywhere in the entire scenic area. The most spectacular among them are those thousand-foot cliffs, some shaped like sleeping lions, some as high as a storey, some hanging like the eaves of a pavilion, and some as powerful as a waterfall. Among the many cliffs, the most legendary one is called "Sacrifice Castle". Wang Yabin, deputy director of the Culture and Sports Bureau of Zhuanglang County, told us that according to legend, a carpenter who believed in Buddhism accidentally fell off the cliff from a dangerous place after building the Yunya Temple Complex and was shattered to pieces. People at that time believed that he had transformed into a Buddha. To commemorate this, they called this cliff "Sacrifice Cliff", also known as "Carpenter Cliff", and carved a cave statue for it. The statue is still preserved in the cliff cave.
