Qianfo Mountain, one of the scenic spots in Shandong.
Qianfo Mountain is located in the south of Jinan, with an altitude of 258 meters and an area of 166 hectares. It is one of the three major scenic spots in Jinan. Qianfo Mountain, known as Mount Li in ancient times, is said to be Yu Shun (Shun is one of the famous sages in the late primitive society in China), who once cultivated crops here, so it is also called Shungeng Mountain. During the first year of Emperor Yangdi's reign (58 1-600), Buddhism prevailed. According to the mountain situation, thousands of Buddha statues were carved and built, and the "Thousand Buddha Temple" was gradually called the Thousand Buddha Mountain. During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, it was renovated and the "Thousand Buddha Temple" was changed to "xingguo temple". Since the Yuan Dynasty, temple fairs have been held on March 3rd and September 9th. It was destroyed after the war and rebuilt in Ming and Qing Dynasties. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, 1959 was built into a park.
The scenic Qianfo Mountain has three winding paths leading to a secluded place on the north side of the mountain, surrounded by pine and cypress, and shaded by the sun. If it is inconvenient to walk, you can also take a bus up the mountain from the mountain road around Shandong, where there are many places of interest. Xingguo temple is located on the mountainside of Qianfo Mountain, with Daxiong Hall, Kannonji, Maitreya Hall and Duihua Pavilion.

Qianfo Mountain has a long history, which contains rich cultural contents and records countless historical allusions. For example, in the Tang Dynasty, the origin of Mount Li was recorded in Youyang Miscellaneous Liquor: "The capital of Qi is connected with Mount Li, and there are ancient iron locks on it, which are as big as human arms. About two bottles at the peak. According to legend, in the middle of the sea, the mountain god is easy to move, so the sea god locks it, locks it and flies here. " There is also a beautiful legend in the stone carvings in Qian Lou Cave: "When Mr. Qian Lou died, he covered a piece of white cloth, which was very small. When he covers his head, his feet are exposed, and when he covers his feet, his head is exposed. Zeng Xi, the grandson of Zeng Shen, a disciple of Confucius, said, "If you cover the cloth obliquely, won't it be covered tightly?" Qian Lou's wife Wei Cong said, "It's better to hide than to hide." . Mr. Wang was tall and straight when he was alive, but he was crooked after he died. How could this be Mr. Wang's original intention? "This story has been passed down to this day as a much-told story.
