The winding paths lead to secluded places with a new view at every step. Zhang Taifu of the Qing Dynasty wrote in a poem: "The road points to the outside of Santun, where green lotuses bloom. Ten thousand pines stand through the rocks, and one path competes with the sky." Jingzhong Mountain is known as the famous mountain in Jingdong. The characteristics of the scenic area can be summarized in three sentences: the natural landscape is ingenious and beautiful, the religious culture has a long history and is profound, and the ancient cultural buildings are ingenious and spectacular. Jingzhong Mountain was named "Famous Mountain in the World" by Emperor Kangxi for its beautiful and charming natural scenery. It is located in the eastern part of Hebei Province, with a solitary peak, pine trees blocking the sun, and a quiet canyon. In spring, the mountains are full of flowers and the fragrant wind blows on your face; in midsummer, the trees are green and the birds are singing; in late autumn, the sky is high and the clouds are light, and the forests are dyed; in midwinter, the snow is white and the ice is pure. In history, there are eight famous scenic spots in Jingzhong, including the lotus seat on the peak, the shadow dragon in the canyon, the morning bell of the cloud temple, the sunrise at dawn, the golden flowers in the wild, the blue water of Luan River, the overlapping green mountains and the deep caves, which are refreshing. It is worthy of being the first famous mountain in Jingdong for its ancient and mysterious views, wonderful explorations and charming views. The 1,872-level stone steps of Jingzhong Mountain are winding and circling, reaching the top of the mountain, which is magnificent. From a high altitude, you can see the endless mountains, and the waves of the Bohai Sea seem to be in front of you. The wonders are different and beautiful. Many literati, emperors and generals in history have a special liking for Jingzhong Mountain, and they have sung praises, and their poems, couplets and plaques have been widely circulated. When Emperor Kangxi climbed this mountain, he was inspired and wrote plaques such as "Famous Mountains in the World", "The Beginning of Famous Mountains" and "The Beautiful Scenery of Lingshan". Jingzhong Mountain has a history of more than a thousand years, and has accumulated a profound religious history and culture. Since the Tang Dynasty, Jingzhong Mountain has been called Ming Mountain, and has been popular for more than a thousand years. In the early Ming Dynasty, the Jizhen General's Office moved to Santunying at the foot of the mountain, and it was called Zhuque Mountain according to the names of the four guardian gods. Later, the "Three Loyalty Temple" was built on this mountain, and Zhuge Liang, Yue Fei, and Wen Tianxiang, three patriotic loyal ministers, were enshrined in the temple. The name was changed to Jingzhong Mountain to "admire loyalty and righteousness". In the second year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Ma Yong, the general of Jizhen, built Bixia Palace on the east side of the "Three Loyalty Temple" and enshrined the statue of Yuanjun. Afterwards, Qi Jiguang, a famous national hero who had guarded the foot of Jingzhong Mountain for 16 years, carried out two large-scale repairs. Since then, the incense of Jingzhong Mountain has become increasingly prosperous. In the early Qing Dynasty, Emperor Shunzhi and Emperor Kangxi showed great favor to Jingzhong Mountain. They visited Jingzhong Mountain six times and not only allocated a large amount of land and money to repair the temples and buildings on the mountain, but also granted a statue of the Golden Goddess weighing 16.4 jin and a collection of more than 4,500 volumes of the Tripitaka, which became the treasure of Jingzhong Mountain. The custom of "facing the golden face" has been passed down to this day. Xingzai, a great monk who had faced the wall in the Zhizhi Cave of Jingzhong Mountain for nine years, was summoned by Emperor Shunzhi to the Imperial Palace in May of the ninth year of Shunzhi (1652 AD) to preach and worship Buddha. He was supported in the Jiaoyuan, creating a precedent for monks to preach in the Imperial Palace and was granted the title of "Bieshan Huishan Puying Zen Master". According to the "Manchu Archives of the History of the Qing Dynasty", Shunzhi appointed Xuanye as the crown prince after consulting with divination at Jingzhong Mountain. Jingzhong Mountain was regarded as a royal temple, and every important political discussion would come to Jingzhong Mountain to worship Buddha and consult divination. As a result, its reputation rose and became famous all over the world. Jingzhong Mountain is 60 kilometers away from the Eastern Qing Tombs. In the past, Emperors Qianlong, Jiaqing and others would visit Jingzhong Mountain and pray for blessings and good fortune whenever they went to the Eastern Tombs to worship their ancestors, which made Jingzhong Mountain more popular. Thousands of years of history have left behind spectacular cultural ancient buildings. Since the Tang Dynasty, ancient temples such as the Sanqing Taoist Temple have been built on the mountain. It reached its peak during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. According to historical records, Ma Yong and Qi Jiguang of the Ming Dynasty successively organized the construction of temples, and Emperor Chongzhen sent people to the mountain for repairs many times. In the early Qing Dynasty, Emperors Shunzhi and Kangxi allocated treasury silver several times to build Jingzhong Mountain as a royal temple, which eventually formed three complete architectural complexes on the top, middle and foot of the mountain with "72 temples and 160 golden faces". There are both magnificent royal buildings and unique local folk ancient temples, Taoist buildings such as Bixia Palace, Caishen Temple, Zhenwu Temple, and Yuhuang Temple, Buddhist buildings such as Yufo Temple, Yuantong Zen Temple, Thousand-handed and Thousand-eyed Bodhisattva Hall, and Confucian buildings such as Sanzhong Temple. There are also new cultural landscapes such as Baoding Cultural Park that reflects the unique culture of Jingzhong Mountain, the first golden palace in the north where Jin Niangniang sits, and Wanfu Road that has won the Guinness World Record. All buildings are built according to the terrain of the mountain, with different regulations, and all reflect unique ingenuity. The magical natural landscape and profound religious culture have bred unique local customs. Every year on the 18th day of the fourth lunar month and the 15th day of the tenth lunar month, Jingzhong Mountain will hold a grand traditional temple fair. From the first to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the "Cultural Festival of Blessing and Spring Festival" will be held. Tourists from Beijing, Tianjin, Tang, Chengde, Qin, Inner Mongolia and other places flock to the mountain, and merchants from all over the country gather here. There are many pilgrims. Folk cultural activities such as singing and dancing, opera, circus, shadow play, and flower fairs are rich and colorful, and the number of tourists exceeds 200,000. During holidays, the first and fifteenth day of each month, and the Buddhist and Taoist days of Jingzhong Mountain, people come to visit, sightsee, and make pilgrimages in an endless stream, either out of worship for the religious holy land that integrates Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, or because of the attraction of folk cultural activities and natural scenery.
