Sanchu first mountain
Orient Mountain is much older. As early as the Spring and Autumn Period, a small town named "E" named after hunting equipment appeared on the banks of the Yangtze River in the Orient Mountain Mountains. During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Western Han Dynasty, Dong Fangshuo, a prodigy, once built houses, collected medicines and made an alchemy, and gave it to people. Orient Mountain was named after his surname. During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan, the king of Wu, established Wuchang as the capital, and Orient Mountain became a battleground for military strategists because of its danger. Zoumazhai was the camp guarded by the capital of Soochow in those days.

Since Orient Mountain is a pharmacist Buddha, the most famous one is the Honghua Temple, which lives at the top of the East Mountain. In 804 AD, a Mazu Taoist mage and a monk named Gao Zu De Cong came to Hubei to preach the Dharma. Seeing the majestic and beautiful mountains, lush trees and birds singing, he was reluctant to leave. Later, I learned that this mountain was called East, and because the teacher instructed me to "stop in the East", I settled on this mountain. In 806 AD, Tang Xianzong gave an iron cow as a gift to a monk and built a Vatican for him. Imperial Book named it "Baofeng Zhao Ti".

Honghua Temple has experienced many natural and man-made disasters. 1979, Master Changle came to Honghua Temple with bamboo sticks and shoes. Facing the bare walls and empty halls, regardless of the age of 83, Honghua Temple made friends, visited donors and raised funds to hold meetings, which made Honghua Temple have a jungle pattern again. In order to cultivate monks, he squeezed out the meager savings of the temple and sent the little novice monk to study. Little novice monk is not ungrateful, brave and diligent. This is the future master of porcelain.
Master Zheng Ci, the abbot of Honghua Temple, is the 73rd generation descendant. When I was a child, I studied under Master Changle, the "top scholar" of Buddhism in Hubei Province, and obtained the undergraduate course of China Buddhist College. Four years later, I continued my postgraduate course. My tutor is Mr. Wu Limin, a famous Buddhist scholar in China. Under the careful guidance of Mr. Wu Limin, the master studied hard and successfully completed his studies. He became one of the first batch of 19 graduate students trained by China Buddhist College since 1980 resumed running, at the age of 26. 1997, Master Zhengci gave up the opportunity to stay in Beijing to teach and was invited by Huangshi Buddhist Association to become the abbot of Honghua. Its story of "holding a computer up the mountain and holding a diploma to the top".
In Honghua Temple, Lushi Ancestral Hall is indispensable. According to legend, 1200 years ago, his ancestral home was Lu, Anhui Province, and he became an ancient official and returned to Orient Mountain. Seeing the beautiful scenery here, he set up a farm here and retired. The founder of Houhonghua Temple, Master Yin Zhi (monk Decong), also traveled here. He vaguely felt that there was a Buddhist spirit here and decided to build a temple on the Oriental Mountain to spread Buddhism. After many explorations, I found Lu's ancestors to discuss this matter. Lu is also a Buddhist. He gave this place to the master and helped him to repair the temple extensively. After Lu's death, the master placed the coffin behind the Buddhist temple to commemorate Lu, repay Lu's painstaking efforts to build a Buddhist temple and promote Buddhism. At present, most residents at the foot of Orient Mountain are surnamed Lu, and they are all descendants of Lu. Honghua Temple follows the eternal legacy. Although it has been destroyed repeatedly, every time it is rebuilt, it is bound to build the Lushi ancestral hall behind the main hall, and set up memorial tablets and portraits of ancestors.

Honghua Temple has been to Bian Xiao many times, and the traffic is very convenient. There is a bus that can go directly down the mountain, and you can drive or take a taxi up the mountain. It takes about 1 hour to walk up the mountain. The mountain overlooks the whole Huangshi city, which makes people feel suddenly enlightened. In particular, the stone statue of Little Nisha in the temple is so lovely that people feel the seriousness and tranquility of Buddhism. Bian Xiao was lucky enough to have a vegetarian meal in the temple, which made him feel more about Buddhist culture. Interested friends can go to see it on the eleventh.
