Shexian in Hebei Province this evening, I spent 2 dollars, so that three motorcycle to take me to the cafe, in the cafes where to spend the money on the two one-hour network, an hour each day, access to the Internet has become my regular arranged, when the Internet is and collecting mail, see the QQ friends inside, they occasionally talk on the two, and then some familiar sweep 2 forums to voice their own words, do not look on such a tiny thing, a hours are off Jinjinzhangzhang, time, I am out of the cafe, under the lights began to dim groping back to hotel.
I smell a bakery on the roadside the aroma, along the smell, I have not found a bakery on the door, where selling things and I live in the city not the same, in my life, the city should make the familiar food container lid or a block with this issue, and Shexian of the bakery, the bread and pastry are "naked" to stand here, dust, or droplets are likely to patronize, but okay, this time there is no "airborne" - flies.
Cake may be new to do, very cheap, 4 dollars a pound, I picked the East to the West pick pick two cakes, two Taosu Takeo there a biscuit, a total of 2 yuan 5 cents, which is not expensive back to hotel, I ate a piece, but also into, and tastes the same in Beijing is not very difficult to eat, this thing will be my tomorrow's breakfast.
6:00, I got up, black tea and snacks is my breakfast, after eating three motorized travel directly to the checkout of the station, where train station is just half an hour before the car selling tickets, I went to a time when ticket sales has not yet begun. No one turnstile control, I walked straight up to the station platform, train pulls into the front addition to the Green Paper on a total of only five hard-seat train, the conductor had opened the door to greet visitors, and I turned to the ticket I bought one to "The new urban area" of the train, or very old small hard-board train before 7 money. Check-in time, I suddenly discovered that gave me the ticket station name is written, "The new Singapore", asked the tellers, she replied, price, like you're in the "new urban" under the bar. Strange? !
Very few passengers on the train, Capacity: 118 people inside the train compartment also less than 20 people, Shexian because of contamination by old revolutionary base of the light, the old liberated areas in order to solve the people's travel, have introduced such benefits train ah.
I had a car, 5 seats, a newspaper shop on the table, and then began to turn the book of travel, check train schedules, travel writing travelogues, to a small station, I feel funny, they took out a digital camera shot Zhang film. Look at the train schedule did I learn that the "new urban" is a train "ride down as" just the railway staff for visitors or to provide a convenient place on and off is not a standard train station.
I have pictures on the train when the conductor saw me a camera, it's very curious to ask what this is? My idle is also okay, give him gave a talk about the case of digital cameras, the way to ask his condition, was originally run in Anyang by train to Shijiazhuang, and later age big change on the care of the unit to run the trains of Handan to Shexian looked conductor also more than 40 years old, is not significantly older, but ran 1 day off 2 days of treatment is also really comfortable ah. Shexian to Handan train, Shexian start the morning, 12 o'clock number on the back of Handan.
Not many passengers along the way, I'm going to the destination is Handan Fengfeng mine, the Pro before I go to the Peaks to call the hotel front desk to ask where the train station recently, the waiter told me that under the new urban area vehicles, five of money will be able to play a small plane into the Fengfeng hotel.
Out a new urban train station, I found a three-wheeled motorcycles, three money delegated to the Peaks Hotel. Settled accommodation, I was out of the hotel, and asked a small side-street driver, he told me that the whole north-south Xiangtangshan read, chartered from 100 yuan, a single to the north xiangtangshan to 70 yuan, I think that's too expensive, direct asked how much money bus, answer, 2 5, come, I'll bus to go!
2-way bus, spent less than 40 minutes to the North xiangtangshan of the gate, had left less than 100 meters, next to a tricycle and asked me, do not climb mountains, go eight years, the long distances, multiply his car, six pull-up money, straining to bargain does not talk down, I agreed, if the straight path, no forks in the road, but he does not close, go, definitely take at least half an hour to go to.
Tickets are 25 yuan, buy a ticket to see caves began to climb, some of fog days, have some hazy sense of scene.
The caves in northern China, is famous Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi Datong and Luoyang, the Longmen Grottoes, which are two caves key national heritage conservation units, visibility is high, while in Handan City, Hebei Province Fengfeng mine xiangtangshan Grottoes , may be few people know, there is also the focus of the State Council released the first batch of units to be protected.
Peaks in the north or south Xiangtangshan Grottoes 2, during the Northern Qi Dynasty in Chinese history and cultural legacy remains, but also after the Sui, Tang, Song, Ming and Seiwa the continuation of the Republic of ancient chisel, forming a pattern now.
Xiangtangshan unusual Grottoes lies in the fact of China's earliest Buddhist scriptures carved in the rock will be things that took place here, now we will need to CD-ROM text etched in permanent preservation of information in history, perhaps the best preserved Kebei the way, so, in the Chinese stone most well-known, such as Xi'an Forest of Stone Tablets, Buddhism entered China, by using such a way that promote Buddhism, and shows that the ancient people's wisdom.
Historical records show that AD 565, the Northern Qi Jin-chang County Public Tang Yong-founding the first time in xiangtangshan the scriptures engraved in the stone walls, later in Shandong, Hebei and Beijing Fangshan Yunju Si, etc., also have emerged stone scriptures, Beijing known for Yunju Si stones engraved by the beginning of the Sui dynasty and the great cause of years (605), the monk Ching-Wan, etc. for the maintenance of Dhamma engraved in stone upon. Yunju Si engraved upon not the first, but now the largest local stone by the depositary.
Buddha Cave of up to 12 meters, in the middle stands a square-shaped center Pylon. Pylon on three sides dug out the magnificent shrines shrines inside the Buddha serious Zhuang Jing, reflecting the heavy sense of history, but also reminds me of an old movie "Mystic Buddha"!
This Buddha Shoulder Tizhuang, with Dai-legacy, the image complexity of the body beautiful decorative patterns, but also reflects the generation of the Royal Northern aristocratic demeanor. Sima Guang in the "restructure" the have been recorded, the Northern Qi Dynasty Emperor Gao Huan God will be buried in the Foding on here, and now recorded in history books, this cave is the tomb of Gao Huan burial. Monk Tao Xuan in the "Gaoseng Zhuan", a book once said that within the high-Huan burial tomb, "Zhu carving hacked moving ghosts."
Carved by the hole drilled in the Northern Qi Dynasty days unification-year period, that is, AD 565. As the mid-north Xiangtangshan Buddha drilled holes, is also the legacy of Northern Qi Dynasty, one of the main cave. The small fan and these splendid decorations Shouhou blackmailer in the cave door on both sides of the Buddha, no does not mean that the Northern Qi Dynasty Fine art worthy of carving and brilliance. But it is regrettable that the Buddha statue here is the first many of them are lost overseas, and to retain the present day is even more priceless.
North Cave Xiangtangshan 2 days unification four years (568) to Wuping three years (572) Jin-chang Tang Yong-written by the public and the county's founding moment, "Vimalakirti Jing", "Maitreya Buddha by the", "Bei Jing" and "victory □ The "a" written by Tang Yong-monument "records engraved upon passing the well-preserved monument has important historical value, has always been for the Chinese and foreign heritage, history re-researchers.
In 1935, Peking Institute of Archaeological Group and in 1936 to create a Society of China Liu Duizhen Kyoto Imperial University, Japan Seiichi Mizuno, Toshio Nagahiro survey has been conducted, respectively, published the "North-South and around the stone ring Dodera directory", "Hebei Gu Building Survey Diary "and" xiangtangshan Grottoes "; in 1957, Peking University archaeological team to investigate internship measured. Gushan area for the Northern Qi Buddhist resort xiangtangshan Grottoes closely with the Northern Crown, is the highest concentration of the Northern Dynasties and the most advanced imaging representative of the caves.
The tour would like to continue and crosses water bath Temple Grottoes, but the locals told me, to be able to go to there is 18 o'clock, the sky is already dark, and everything can not see, you are not familiar with a person's way and come back is also a trouble Think of the ultimate regret to give up. Locals said that it was 8:00 into the mountains, with dry food and water, the mountains at noon to eat the whole tour can be finished, in the dark when the downhill.
Down time, back pains, because the day before also climbing to the Shexian the Wa Palace, today it is under the scorching sun and climb mountains, 600 meters down the mountain is really painful, ah, down to the parking lot, also do not see three-wheeled motorcycle that the pain should take eight years to the time a child riding a scooter up the hill, greet him take me down, children should be six, I am only willing to give 3, the children agreed, down the mountain when asked if there is no small change, I said five, the children said to give me money exchanges, the results to the mountain gate, children motor put out the fire, the key does not pull on the go to change money to the commissary, and come back when I smile asked him: not afraid of me to go motorcycle riding? Children smiles: I took five of money are not afraid of running it?
Think about a child that simple, really interesting way to continue to take two cars back to two 5 Peaks, to the Peaks, I went to is said to be the best local restaurants: Fenglin Pavilion, point a shark's fin Conquers 12 yuan, cold sea - gentian 8 yuan, stewed Zhushou 4 yuan, as well as a bottle of beer, 10 yuan, 34 per constituted my dinner, eat and let them go Peaks hotel next to the cafe, 2 yuan spent an hour, and then returned to his room to sleep, tomorrow's plan is to go to Temple Grottoes Nanxiangtang.
