(5)中国明清时期,受帝王的扶助,遂使九华山佛教至于鼎盛时期,期间寺庙数量大幅度增加,并沿溪流布局向山顶发展。
In Ming and Qing Dynasty, Jiuhuashan Buddhism was supported by emperors and came into heyday. More and more temples are built up and extended from cirque to the top of the mountain.
(6)当前,在九华冰斗内,以化城寺为中心,沿串珠状池塘、溪流林立百家店铺和数十座寺庙,形成僧俗共处,农、商、禅交融的文化景观。
Around the Huacheng Temple, there are hundreds of shops and dozens of temples along the toruliform pond valley banks in Jiuhua cirque, which is a wonderful cultural landscape that demonstrates the co-existence of monks and laymen and an integration of agriculture, business and zen.
岩石上呈“X”型交叉的两条交叉裂缝,是岩体受外力作用后产生的应力场使岩体破裂但没有明显错断位移交叉型裂缝,同伴产生,俗称“夫妻节理”。
X-shaped Joints
Two crossed joints appear in X shape on rock and were formed by exogenic agents. When rock was forced and then fractured without any obvious displacement, two joints simultaneously formed and crossed each other. The such crossed joints are called as“Couple Joints”.
九华山大断裂南北纵贯九华山地质公园全境,长33千米。断裂带两侧的升降盘分别形成花岗岩山岭峰脊、丘陵、盆地。九华山大断裂带经流水侵蚀搬运呈线性峡谷,如闵园峡谷。九华山断裂与派生的旁侧节理控制了九华山地形发育与展布,节理裂隙与流水、冻融、重力、生物风化等地质营力塑造了多姿的九华山花岗岩石峰群山。
Jiuhuashan Large Fault
Jiuhuashan Large Fault extends over 33 km in north-south direction through Jiuhuashan Geopark. The uplifting and descending sides of the Fault respectively form granite mountain ridge, hills and basin. Jiuhuashan Large Fault Zone was changed into linear canyons by running water erosion and transportation, Minyuan Canyon being an example. Jiuhuashan Fault and its derived side joints together control the development and structure of Jiuhuashan’s topography. Jiuhuashan’s magnificent granitic peaks and wonderful rock shapes were produced by joints and geological agents such as running water, freeze thawing, gravity and biological weathering.
