China travel: Wannian Temple on Mount Emei
See the temples on Mount Emei and the sounds of the gong being rung by the monk. Mount Emei is located in Sichuan Province of China. It is the highest and most famous of the Four Sacred Buddhist Mountains of China.
Emei Shan, Sichuan, Part2 - China Travel Channel
The Wannian Temple is the oldest surviving temple on Mount. Emei. Among the over 200 temples that existed at one time, only 20 still remain today. The rest were mainly destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
The 3099 m high Mount Emei, also called Da Guang Ming Shan (Mountain of Great Light), is in the central Chinese province of Sichuan. The Wannian Temple is a little different than other temples.
Also known as the Temple of Eternity, or actually the Temple of 10,000 Years, since 10,000 is the highest number in the Chinese numerical system, the Wannian Temple demonstrates strong Indian influences. The Wannian Temple was originally called Puxian- or Samantabhadra-Temple. The bronze statue of the bodhisattva Puxian, placed upon a life-sized elephant with 6 teeth, towers above the landscape of this magnificent garden temple.
The statue of Puxian dates back to the Northern Song Dynasty (960-1112), is 3.64 m tall and weighs 62 tons.

Etwas aus der Reihe sticht der Wannian-Tempel - Tempel der Ewigkeit, eigentlich der 10.000 Jahre, höchste Zahl im chinesischen Zahlensystem, gleichbedeutend mit ewig -, da er starke indische Einflüsse aufweist. Der Wannian Tempel wurde ursprünglich Puxian- oder Samantabhadra-Tempel genannt.

The slopes of Emei Shan have been inhabited since as early as 10,000 years ago. It was originally a Taoist retreat.
Pugong, a medicinal plant farmer, built the Puguang Hall on the Golden Summit in the 1st century AD. In the 3rd century, the Puxian form of Buddhism (which centers on devotion to the Bodhisattva Puxian, or Samantabhadra) became dominant on Emei and the Chinese monk Huichi built the Puxian Temple (now the Wannian Temple) at the foot of the Guanxinpo Terrace.
In the mid-9th century, the Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin sent a Buddhist mission headed by Master Jiye to India. On his return he was authorized to build temples on Mount Emei, where he preached and translated the
Indian Buddhist texts. He was also authorized to cast a Puxian bronze statue, 62 tonnes in weight and 7.85 m high, now in the Wannian Temple.
Ever since, Mount Emei has been one of the most holy places of Buddhism. Extensive rebuilding during the Ming dynasty finally converted most of Emei's Taoist temples to Buddhism.
The natural beauty and sacred significance of Emei Shan has been drawing pilgrims and tourists for 2,000 years. It was designated a World Heritage Site in 1996.
What to See at Emei Shan
Emei Shan literally means Delicate Eyebrow Mountain — it derives its name from two peaks which face each other and look like the delicate eyebrows of a Chinese classic beauty.
Emei Shan is a UNESCO World Heritage Site featuring many temples, natural wonders and breathtaking scenery. The slopes incorporate several different climates and much wildlife, especially birds and trees. Some of the trees are more than 1,000 years old.
There are also monkeys, who are accustomed to tourists and assertive; they aren't dangerious but will beg for food and grab at bags as hikers walk along the trails. Many hikers carry walking sticks to shoo them away.
There are over 30 Buddhist temples on Emei Shan, 10 of which are large and very old. They are considered masterpieces of creative ingenuity in the way they adapt to the natural enviroment and beauty of the holy mountain.
At the mountain base is Baoguo Monastery, built in the 16th century. The monastery has serene gardens with rare plants, a library of sutras and a huge porcelain Buddha. In the stone staircase of the rear hall are figures of the Eight Immortals, betraying the temple's Taoist origins.
Further up the mountain lies the Crouching Tiger Monastery (Fuhu Si), Emei's largest temple. Once associated with the Taoist martial-arts master Zhang Sanfeng, today it is a Guanyin nunnery. Notable features include the 16th-century, 7m-high bronze Huayan Pagoda, which is engraved with 4700 Buddha images.
The Qingyin Pavilion, built against the mountainside at the foot of the Niuxin Ridge, is an ensemble of pavilions, towers, and platforms, the earliest dating from the early 6th century. Its location and the streams that run through it have earned it the name “The Mountain Garden.”
A few hours' walk or a cable car ride leads to the Golden Summit(Jinding), at 3077m. There are two temples here (the friendly Woyun Nunnery and the large Huazang Si) and thousands of padlocks inscribed with couples' names to symbolize eternal love.
Huazang Si on Jinding was founded as early as the 1st century as the Puguang Hall, later becoming the Guangxiang Temple and receiving its present royal name in 1614. It was extensively rebuilt and refurnished in the 1970s, but every effort was made to preserve its original appearance.
Jinding is the best place to experience the Four Wonders of Mt. Emei: the Buddha's Halo (rainbow-like rings that surround and move with your shadow), the Sea of Clouds, the Holy Lamp (or Divine Lights) and the Golden Summit Sunrise.
From the Golden Summit you can ride a monorail along the ridge to Wanfoding (Ten Thousand Buddha Summit), the true summit of Emei Shan.

Mount Jiu Hua and its Temples
Mount Jiuhua (Nine Glorious Mountains) is one of the four sacred mountains of Chinese Buddhism. It is located in Qingyang County in Anhui province and is famous for its rich landscape and ancient temples.
Many of the mountain's shrines and temples are dedicated to Ksitigarbha, who is a bodhisattva and protector of beings in hell realms according to Mahayana Buddhist tradition. Pious Buddhists often visit Anhui to climb to Greater Tiantai peak, which is regarded as Jiuhuashan's most important peak, although it is not the tallest.

大部分在台灣的眷村都已經遷移與拆除，好似政府急著要把過往五十年伴隨台灣經濟成長的過去給抹去掉，不過位於台中霧峰郊區的老眷村，雖然所剩的居民已經不多了，但確定會被保留下來，並轉型為創業與文創空間。不過在完成改建之前，外人依舊可以輕易的進出這些老宅，近距離觀察藝術家們如何利用半荒廢的空間從事創作，以及表演工作者如何在老宅間排演練習，利用這寧靜的環境從事他們熱愛的工作。幾年前台中的學生們利用這個人煙稀少的村落，將一些裝置藝術品擺放至此，比方和平路上各式造型與塗鴉的椅子與板凳，有國旗圖裝的、鋼琴造型、甚至書本樣式的，轉個彎又可看到彩色造型屋裡有國父照片與天下為公的字樣。縱使有些房屋已經殘破不堪，但大部分的算是保留完整，而這些國民黨在輸了國共內戰後，撤退到台灣所搭建的臨時住所，成為台灣當時的代表建築，雖然沒有幾百年前的廟宇來的細緻，也沒有原住民的傳統，但確實陪伴了許多眷村裡長大的孩子。在村莊口，有一小區的攤販與麵攤，雖然外觀簡陋，卻是很道地的臺灣味。而921地震園區就在村莊的尾段，逛完了五十年的歷史，可以再看看十幾年前造成全台重大傷亡地震後所保留下來的國中。

The temple was built on top of the Emei mountain...incredible! But of course you won't see that here. This was a different kind of experience...one of the reasons why we love travelling to China so much. Their culture is so rich in its diversity.

Wuyishan Mountain 武夷山
Early morning on a beautiful spring day we climb to the top of Wuyishan Mountain in Fujian province China.
在一个美丽的春日Ë清晨攀登到武夷山的福建省在中国南方的顶部。
The Wuyi Mountains 武夷山; is a mountain range located in the prefecture of Nanping, in northern Fujian province near the border with Jiangxi province, China.
The highest peak in the area is Mount Huanggang at 2,158 metres on the border of Fujian and Jiangxi, making it the highest point of both provinces.
The mountains have been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, for cultural, scenic, and biodiversity values since 1999.
The world heritage site has a total area of 99,975 hectares that is divided into four core parts: the Nine-Bend Stream Ecological Protection Area (36,400 ha) in the center, flanked by the Wuyishan National Nature Reserve (56,527 ha) to the west and the Wuyishan National Scenic Area (7,000 ha) to the east.
The fourth part, the Protection Area for the Remains of Ancient Han Dynasty (48 ha) is located in a separate area about 15 km to the south-east of the others. The core parts are surrounded by an additional buffer zone of 27,888 ha.
The region is part of the Cathaysian fold system and has experienced high volcanic activity and the formation of large fault structures, which were subsequently subject to erosion by water and weathering. The landscape is characterized by beautiful winding river valleys flanked by columnar or dome-shaped cliffs as well as cave systems. Peaks in the western portion of the Wuyi Mountains typically consist of volcanic or plutonic rocks, whereas peaks and hills in the eastern area are made up of red sandstone with very steep slopes but flat tops (Danxia landform). The Nine-bend River (Jiuqu Xi), about 60 kilometers in length, meanders in a deep gorge among these hills.
The Wuyi Mountains act as a protective barrier against the inflow of cold air from the northwest and retain warm moist air originating from the sea. As a result, the area has a humid climate (humidity 80 to 85%) with high rainfall (annual average 2,200 millimeters in the south-west and 3,200 millimeters in the north) and common fogs. Lower altitudes experience annual temperatures in the range from 12 °C to 18 °C.
The area is relatively pollution free. The Chinese government set up its first air quality monitoring station in the area on January 31, 2005.
The Wuyi Mountains are the largest and most representative example of Chinese subtropical forests and South Chinese rain forests' biodiversity. Its ecology has survived from before the Ice Age around 3 million years ago. Biologists have been conducting field research in the area since 1873.
Human settlement on the slopes of Mount Wuyi can be traced back 4,000 years by archeological remains. During the Western Han Dynasty, the ancient city of Chengcun was the capital of the Minyue kingdom. In the 7th century, the Wuyi Palace was built for emperors to conduct sacrificial activities, a site that tourists can still visit today. The mountains were an important center of Taoism and later Buddhism. Remains of 35 academies erected from the era of the Northern Song to the Qin Dynasty and more than 60 Taoist temples and monasteries have been located. However, most of these remains are very incomplete. Some of the exceptions for which authentic remains are preserved are the Taoyuan Temple, the Wannian Palace, the Sanqing Hall, the Tiancheng Temple, the Baiyun temple, and the Tianxin temple. The area is the cradle of Neo-Confucianism, a current that became very influential since the 11th century.
The Wuyi Mountains has a long history of tea cultivation. The four most widely known varieties of Wuyi tea are referred to as the Four Famous Bushes: Big Red Robe, Iron Arhat, White Cockscomb, and Golden Turtle. Lapsang souchong also originates from the area.

Baoguo Temple
2008 June 19 Back to Mt. Emei for a second trip, this time I took a video of the chant/ritual/ceremony (what's best to call it?) at Baoguo Temple. I probably wasn't supposed to be filming, but I wanted to show the world the beauty of what we as students witnessed while in China. Seeing real people engaged in spiritual harmony is an interesting sight to behold. The would sit and chant for a long time, and we could watch them quietly.
