The century-old post station - Feiyun Cliff
Listen to the story from 580 years ago—
In Huangping County, Qiandongnan, Guizhou, there is an ancient temple called Feiyun Cliff
It was built in the eighth year of the Zhengtong era of the Ming Dynasty
In the year 1443 AD, exactly 580 years from now
Having withstood 580 years of wind, frost, snow, and rain
It can make you feel what a true ancient relic is
The mottled and blurred archway, the stone steps handrails covered with moss
The rooftops of green tiles piled with fallen leaves, the winding and bizarre peaks and rocks
As if they are all telling the visitors the stories of the past nearly 600 years
600 years is undoubtedly very long for a person
But for a building, a bridge, a tree
It can also be a moment in the flick of a finger
For hundreds of years, it has seen all the changes, the blooming and withering of flowers
Some people come and go, some go and come back
Feiyun Cliff has always been here, sending off batches of people
But most people are just passersby, only a very few leave something behind
Because behind the ancient temple there is a huge and peculiar dome
Standing tens of feet tall, with eaves hanging a hundred feet, covering like a splendid canopy
Above it, beads hang and droplets fall, resembling flying clouds, hence the name Feiyun Cliff
In the eighth year of the Zhengtong era, the Yuantan Temple was built here
Because during the Ming and Qing dynasties, the ancient post road from Beijing to Yunnan
Passed through Guizhou and the neighboring country of Myanmar right by the temple gate
Therefore, many famous scholars traveled here
Leaving behind many valuable cliff carvings and inscriptions
For example, the 'Record of Feiyun Cliff' left by the Guizhou Governor in the forty-fourth year of the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty
Wang Yangming, Lin Zexu, and He Kun all left their writings here
Mr. Yangming once said that the mountains of the world gather in Yunnan and Guizhou, and the essence of Yunnan and Guizhou's beauty is concentrated in this cliff
This place was once where the three teachings of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism coexisted, all planting seeds of faith here
Every festival, pious men and women come here to burn incense and pray, making wishes every year
On the eighth day of the fourth lunar month, ethnic minorities dance and sing here
In summer, the place is shaded by green trees, with the croaking of frogs and the chirping of cicadas, very pleasant
In autumn, the ground is covered with fallen ginkgo leaves, very beautiful
Feiyunya is located 12 kilometers northeast of Huangping County, southeast Guizhou Autonomous Prefecture, and has a history of 560 years. It is a key cultural relics protection unit in Guizhou Province. Feiyunya was built in the orthodox eight years of the Ming Dynasty (1443), and has undergone generational renovation and expansion, forming a group of unique ancient buildings. Feiyunya has won the "first wonderland in southern Fujian", "first victory in southern Fujian", "first hole in southern Fujian", "first wonderland in southern Fujian", "first win in Guizhou". So Mr. Wang Yangming in Zhengde three years after Feiyun Cliff, to Feiyun Cliff with a high evaluation "the mountains in the world gather in Yungui, Yungui's show is in Siya.
Feiyunya Scenic Area is located on the banks of Shengguo Bridge, Dongpo Township, east of Huangping County, Guizhou, and on the Feiyun Bank 1200 meters away from the county seat, Xiangyu Highway passes by the cliff. It is also a bus from Huangping to Shibing County that must pass through this place. Feiyun cliffs have a giant strange ripple, tens of walls, sag 100 feet, covered like a lid, its drooping bead dripping milk, like flying clouds, so the name Feiyun cliff.
There is a certain historical building complex, "the mountains in the world, gathered in Yungui, the show of Yungui, Cuiyu Siya", many literary creations originate from this, worthy of the first cave in southern Fujian. The scenery is charming, like an art painting, very powerful.
Feiyunya is 12 kilometers away from Huangping County. Tickets are free. You can take the 10 bus directly. The scenic spot is 500 meters away from the bus station. As soon as you enter the entrance of the scenic spot, you immediately feel the shade and the ancient trees are towering. Feiyunya was built in the orthodox eight years of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Yangming has been here and gave a high evaluation: "The mountains in the world gather in Yungui, and the beauty of Yungui Cuicui Yusiya." The scenic spot is not big, covering an area of about 0.5 square kilometers. Although the ancient stone archway has been exposed to the sun and rain for hundreds of years, But the pattern is still clear and beautiful.
Today, I visited the first cave in southern Anhui, the sky flying cliff, before departure to check various websites, the information and photos introduced are not many, thinking that it can be called the first cave in southern Anhui, it should be worth a visit. The Moontan Temple, built in 1443 in the Ming Dynasty, has a vicissitudes of the mountain gate. The ancient buildings in the temple are embedded in the stalactite mountain. The two are perfectly integrated and integrated. The Guanyin Temple is on the mountainside. In fact, it is a natural semi-open cave of stalactite. The stone tablet is cut off. Stand silently. Drilling into the cave of stalactites, the stone steps of different heights and widths can experience the dangers and excitement of mountaineering, squeeze through several low caves, thinking that the big fat man is estimated to be very laborious to pass, actually from the Guanyin Temple to the back of the flying clouds. The eyes are full of towering ancient trees, and the green moss on the eaves stone steps is suggesting the history of "Guizhou's first ancient temple". There is such a long-standing beauty in Huangping County. Feiyunya does not need to pay the ticket fee. You can visit it for free if you show your ID card at the ticket office. There are stone inscriptions on the ancient buildings and on the cliffs in Feiyunya. Some of the monuments in the Ming Dynasty have been very vague. The wrinkled cloud stone monuments in the Guangxu years are very clear, and the wrinkled words are consulted by the staff of the temple. The official hall in the schematic diagram of the ancient architectural attractions was the Feiyunxuan Station of the year. I specially photographed the lanterns of Feiyunxuan. I imagined that it would take me from the Beijing Feima to Feiyunxuan Station, which was separated by thousands of mountains and rivers. How long will it take? ...... Feiyunxuan Station is currently only an ancient building. The dragon and phoenix on the door sculpted simple and elegant, a Taishi chair guarded the door, telling tourists not to enter. Seeing the scale of the official hall, suddenly open, I understood the Guanyin, the small pavilion built by the mountain, why the name is the small official hall, at that time imagined to be the lounge of the official change, very small, only took a pavilion on the flying corner decoration of the crane brick carving. Only ancient buildings still exist in the Great Buddha Hall of Yuetan Temple, but the Big Buddha is missing. The main hall and the wing rooms on both sides have become three exhibition halls, which are Guizhou National Festival Cultural Exhibition. The dense ancient trees cover the sky and the sun, and enjoy the Miao costumes in the comfortable and quiet exhibition hall. The sound of the water flowing from Feiyunya Waterfall is heard in my ears, breathing a lot of negative cations, and the body and mind are comfortable and pleasant. Out of the mountain gate archway and across the Shengguo Bridge, you can approach the water rafting room and approach the Feiyunya Waterfall. Feiyunya's exceptionally fresh air comes from this waterfall, clear water pool, belongs to the karst landform, has the credit of stalactite limestone.
