五台山英语导游词
Wade–Giles romanization Wu-t'ai Shan , Pinyin Wutai Shan mountain and
mountain chain in northeast Shansi Province, China. The mountain chain is a
massif with a southwest–northeast axis, separated from the Heng Shan
(mountains) to the northwest by the valley of the Hu-t'o Ho (river), which
curves around its southern flank to flow into the North China Plain in Hopeh
Province. Mt. Wu-t'ai is actually a cluster of flat-topped peaks from which
the mountain takes its name (Five Terraces). The highest peak is 10,033 ft
(3,058 m) above sea level.
Mt. Wu-t'ai is particularly famous as one of the great holy places of
Chinese Buddhism. Great numbers of temples, including some of the oldest
wooden buildings surviving in China, are scattered over the mountain; the
largest temples—such as the Hsien-t'ung, the Ta-ta-yüan, and the Pu-sa-ting-
shen-jung-yüan—are grouped around the town of T'ai-huai-chen.
Mt. Wu-t'ai appears first to have become a holy mountain to the Taoist
adepts of the later Han dynasty (AD 25–220) but came into prominence in the
5th century under the Northern Wei dynasty (386–534/35) when, as Ch'ing-liang
Shan, it became identified as the dwelling place of Mãnju rī bodhisattva (a ś
heavenly being who voluntarily postpones his Buddhahood in order to work for
worldly welfare and understanding). The cult of Mãnju rī was intensified underś
the T'ang dynasty (618–907). In early T'ang times Mount Wu-t'ai was closely
associated with the patriarchs of the Hua-yen Buddhist school, becoming the
principal centre of their teaching. During this period it attracted scholars
and pilgrims not only from all parts of China but also from Japan, who
continued to visit and study there until the 12th century.
Many of the other monasteries in the region were attached to Ch'an
Buddhism, which in the 9th century found patronage in the region from the
provincial governors of the neighbouring areas of Hopeh, who were able to
protect Mount Wu-t'ai from the worst ravages of the great religious
persecution that occurred from 843 to 845. Under Mongol rule in the late 13th
century, Tibetan Buddhism (Lamaism) was first introduced to Mount Wu-t'ai.
During the Ch'ing dynasty (1644–1911/12), when the Tibetan Buddhist religion
was an important element in relations between the Chinese court and their
Mongol and Tibetan vassals and when the state gave lavish support to
monasteries inhabited by lamas (monks), Mount Wu-t'ai was one of the principal
monastic centres.
Few of the present buildings are very old, but the main hall of the Hua-
kuang Ssu, dating from 857, is the oldest surviving wooden building in China.
