Laojun Rock is the soul of Qingyuan Mountain."Quanzhou Prefectural Annals" said that "the stone statues are naturally made of nature, and those who do things carefully carve them." A natural stone was slightly carved by skilled craftsmen into today's Laojun Rock. The so-called "Tao Tao and nature" may mean Laojun Yan.
After Lao Jun's "instructions", he walked upwards along the winding "wisdom heavenly steps" and stepped on the stone road. He was surrounded by lush leaf-leaf fig trees intertwined, like a natural labyrinth, attracting people to explore.
After passing Suqiao, a spacious stone courtyard came into view. This was the location of Master Hong Yi's stupa. When you approached and looked at the stupa, you suddenly felt a supreme coolness filled your entire body.
Hearing the sound of flowing water is the pleasant sound of Mulongchi. The Mulong Pond complements each other with the sky far away, giving people infinite reverie. In the mountains and forests of the empty valley, listening to the ripples of water, it feels as if you are in a deserted land, and you feel relaxed and happy.
Continue walking forward and pass through the Lotus Pond. There is a bridge connected by lotus stone carvings on the pond. The shape is unique. Walking on the lotus stone carvings, you feel like "lotus grows step by step".
Along the way, I discovered the extremely rare iron chain bridge, so I was eager to try it. I stepped on the iron chain bridge, swaying, which was quite interesting.
Crossing the Iron Chain Bridge, you will arrive at the long-awaited Bixiaoyan. There are stone statues of the "Three Buddhas" of Tibetan Buddhism on the rocks.
There has been a long history, and the Third Buddha built on the cliffs coexists with the grass and trees of Qingyuan Mountain. Whether it is now, in the past or in the future, they will forever protect Tongcheng for us.
Only by taking a walk in Qingyuan Mountain, meeting Quanzhou, and meeting history will this journey to the secret realm be complete.
Xunpu VillageThere is a very special fishing village that has always been a secret in my heart. It has a special name called Xiupu Village. If you hadn't come to the sea, you wouldn't have been able to understand Quanzhou people's love for the ocean.
The fishing village of Xiutou is very beautiful. The boats here, dressed in the blue of the ocean and with the breath of ocean currents, are anchored on the coast of the bay. The women here decorate the village with colorful colors, dressing up the village with style and uniqueness.
From time to time, this Xunpu aunt who "sticks in the garden on the sea" appears in the streets and alleys.
The house here is even more unique. It has oyster shells originating from afar as walls, with ends connected, rows after rows, room after room, in an orderly manner. Despite the baptism of wind and rain, the stacked oyster shells still tenaciously support the crabs.
Touching these walls made of hard and beautiful large oyster shells hundreds of years ago, it is as if touching a faded history, and everything in front of you becomes more and more real.
Walking into the ancient village, the muddy roads, the green fields, the brown ox-backs, the leisurely pedestrians, the blue silk sky... all this has been long-lost and cordial, and the distant rural memory has been restored.
Walking into the village, you see a small stream, gurgling water. This ancient village gives people a simple and easy-going feeling. The spring breeze blew by and listening to the sound of the stream made my restful heart calm down.
Walking in the ancient village, you look for every inch of the texture of the stone house. When the sun shines in the ancient village in spring, my grandma is cleaning the courtyard. The villagers here do not forget their original aspirations and stick to this land. This is probably the life we aspire to.
The rain that had just fallen rendered the stone more charming, like an oil painting or a fairy tale. The people here live in stone houses, and they have a goodwill towards every stone here. I really wish I could find someone to talk about the story of this ancient village.
I had an encounter with an ancient village, which made me forget to leave. I even wanted to live in Zhangjiao Village and reincarnate in the four seasons with the stone windows, stone houses, stone paths and stone alleys of Zhangjiao Village.
On the way to travel, you don't have to pursue those popular attractions or follow the noisy and crowded crowds. It's also a good choice to go to these small and unpopular secret places. Go there and experience the tranquility and peaceful beauty of nature. When do you plan to leave?
