Guangfu Temple, originally a private residence, was an assistant minister of Huangmen (an attendant of the emperor and an important official who conveyed the imperial edict). During the reign of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty (685-704), it was changed to Guangfu Temple, and the incense was very prosperous. In June of the first year of Song Kangding (1040), a villager took soil from Guangfu Temple, dug up a bronze statue of Guanyin, and then presented it to Guangfu Temple. This caused a sensation in all parts of Wu Jun, where there was an endless stream of Buddhist believers and a sea of people. People renamed Guangfu Temple Copper Kannonji. The existing Ursa Major Hall and West Hall were abandoned several times and built in the 12th year of Qing Daoguang (1832).
Now Guangfu Tongquetai, Guangfu Temple Tower and Xianghua Bridge have been announced as cultural relics protection units in Jiangsu Province. Guangfu Temple Tower is located in Guishan, Guangfu Town, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. Built in the Datong period of the Liang Dynasty (535-546), its real name is stupa. It is said that there used to be the Huayan Sutra of Dafang Guangfo Buddha and the pagoda of Wuche, the founder of Guangfo Buddha Temple. Guangfu Temple Tower was destroyed by a fire in the last years of Tang Huichang (846). During the period of Xian Tong (860-874), the abbot of Copper Kannonji ran around to raise money for reconstruction. The tower eaves were destroyed by lightning and fire during Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. Later, it was repeatedly destroyed and repaired, and it has long been degraded. After wind and rain erosion, it is now a provincial-level cultural relics protection unit.
1999 Suzhou municipal government investment transformation protection. The pagoda stands at the top of Wuguishan Temple, with seven floors on all sides and a height of 27.95 meters. Its plane is square, and it is a pavilion pagoda with a mixed structure of brick and wood. There are coupon doors in the northwest of the ground floor, pot doors on the second floor and above, and Buddhist niches on the left and right sides of the inner wall of each floor, displaying 49 Buddha statues. The top of the tower is equipped with square, round and octagonal algae wells. Each floor has a flat seat with waist eaves, which is simple and simple. There is a corridor at the bottom of the tower, and each floor has a floor that you can step on. The tower looks quaint. Due to the appropriate location and the surrounding scenery, there is quite an artistic conception of "not in the painting but in the painting". If you climb to the top of the tower, you can see that the balance and Lingyan Mountain seem to be close at hand. Looking at the tower, the mountains and rivers are continuous, and the East and West Lakes complement each other. It is worth mentioning that Shen Zhou, a Suzhou scholar and founder of Wu Pai in the Ming Dynasty, boarded Guangfu Temple Pagoda many times and wrote a poem "DengGuangfu Pagoda", which vividly described the scene of climbing the pagoda: "The mountains are surrounded by water, the farmers and mulberry flowers bloom, and the beautiful scenery is really in the painting." Finally, I deeply felt: "I have been homeless for three years, and I hate living here without books." Xiangxuehai, located in Dengwei Mountain, Guangfu Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, is one of the four major beauty spots in China.
Thirty-five years after Emperor Kangxi of Xue Hai, Luo Song, the governor of Jiangsu Province, inscribed the word "Xiang" on the cliff, and Xiang became famous all over the world. Ganlong made six southern tours, and every time he went to Xiangxue to enjoy plums, there were Gan Long's poems. Next to the poem tablet is the famous Plum Blossom Pavilion, which was created by Yao, a modern Wuzhong craftsman and a descendant of Xiangshan School. Halfway up the mountain, there is the Mei Wen Pavilion, where tourists can taste tea and plums. A new Mei Ting Pavilion is built on the top of the mountain. There are other cliff stone carvings and spring water "Meiquan", such as "Hua Guang Wan Qing", "Nobody welcomes guests", "Qiong Zhi Shu Ying", "Wandering Leng Yan" and Luo Song's poems. In addition to enjoying plums in early spring, Schima superba is widely open in mid-June every year. Schima superba is called the forest guardian. Because it doesn't burn, it is regarded as a forest of fire all over the world and has ornamental value. The ancient Wenmeixuan and Meihua Pavilion, which are hidden among plum blossoms, are like Yuyu Qiongge floating in the vast snowy sea. Walking on the winding and deep flower path, people feel that "there are flowers all over the mountains and I don't know how far away." When you board the Plum Blossom Pavilion, you can see the mountains and plains, the blue waves of Xue Hai are rippling, and the silver waves are bright and spectacular.
1986 Xiangxuehai was announced as a cultural relics protection unit in Wuxian County, and now it is adjusted as a cultural relics protection unit in Suzhou due to administrative divisions.
Deng Wei tan mei
In Guangfu, it has long been a custom to "visit Mei in a small way". Plum planting in Dengwei Mountain began in Han and Tang Dynasties, developed in Song and Yuan Dynasties, and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is known as "the best in the world". Plum blossoms are not only ornamental, but also edible as medicine, so local people are engaged in planting plum blossoms. Song Xiaolian and Rizo's poem "Exploring Plums" contains the sentence "Looking at thousands of households, planting plums like a valley", and "Shilimei Township" is a portrayal of the real scene at that time. Kangxi's southern tour wrote a poem "Deng Wei has a long reputation, watching plum blossoms in early spring, blooming colorful trees, and being relatively happy". In the thirty-fifth year of Kangxi (A.D. 1696), Luo Song, the governor of Jiangsu Province, came here to enjoy plum blossoms and wrote a poem "Exploring the Tomb of Yuan Dynasty in the Rain", which made the fragrance famous all over the world. Emperor Qianlong visited Denway Tan Mei six times and wrote poems six times, which are evidenced by royal monuments and stone carvings. Situ Temple is located in the southeast of Jianlang Village in the west of Guangfu Town, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province. It is the ancestral temple of Deng Yu, the Great Situ of Guangwu Emperor in the Eastern Han Dynasty. Also known as Gubai 'an, Baiyin Society and Baiyin Jingshe. The history of the temple building in Situ Temple is not recorded and cannot be verified. The present temples were rebuilt in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Also known as Dengwei Temple, there are four ancient cypresses in the temple, which are nearly two thousand years old. Situ Temple has two temples and houses, with more than 20 rooms. The layout is traditional courtyard style. There is a wall door in front, separated by a pair of stone lions, and the entrance is the mountain gate and the hall along the main shaft. There is a courtyard between them, with side rooms on both sides, and a courtyard with famous cypress trees and a cypress viewing hall on the left side of the temple. Behind the hall are four famous cypress gardens.
1986, Situ Temple and Cooper were announced as cultural relics protection units in Wuxian County, and now they are adjusted as cultural relics protection units in Suzhou due to administrative divisions.
Strange and eccentric
It is said that four 2000-year-old cypresses in Suzhou Guangfu Situ Temple were planted by Deng Yu himself, with a history of more than 2000 years. These four kinds of Cooper have unique shapes and different postures. Despite thousands of years of wind, frost, rain, snow and lightning, it is still magnificent, just like a natural bonsai, and it can be called a wonder of the world. According to legend, Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty visited the south of the Yangtze River and was greatly attracted by these four ancient cypresses, which were named Qing, Qi, Gu and Qi. "Qing" people, the main pole is thick and straight, and the posture is steady, and the branches and leaves are green and heroic, giving people a feeling of comeliness, clarity and vitality. "Strange" people, the trunk is like a waist and then cut into two pieces, one hanging to the ground lush; Another branch drilled into the ground a few meters away from it, and a new branch grew and grew into a new Cooper. It's really interesting that dead wood produces new branches, and dead wood meets spring;
"Ancient" people, with thin skin and baldness, are simple and vigorous, with solemn posture, and the texture is like a hundred ropes around the body, like a dragon around the body. Give people a rough and honest feeling.
"Strange" people, I don't know when and where they were split in two by lightning. A mother who fell to the ground and took root and sprouted away from her mother, the trilogy lay on the ground, shaped like a pen, and walked on the ground like a dragon. The other piece is like a hanging basket, lying in place, holding its head high like a dragon, trying to take off in the air. This is really a strange person!
Qing, strange, ancient and strange, despite thousands of years of wear and tear, are still gloomy and evergreen, showing an indomitable spirit. The indomitable and unyielding character gives people the feeling of being full of hope and struggling hard.
Wen Jing stone carving
There are two Buddhist scriptures in the stele gallery on the side of Baiguan Hall in the original temple. One is Shurangama Sutra, or Shurangama Sutra for short. One is "King Kong Prajna Paramita Sutra", referred to as "Diamond Sutra".
The Shurangama Sutra was carved by Zhang Maode of Wumen, with well-proportioned handwriting and powerful knife technique, and it is still very clear today. The stone carving should be sent to Fangshan, Zhuozhou. Because the Qing army entered the customs and the river dried up, they had to hide in Shilin Temple in Fuxiajiao Village. 1976, Shilin Temple collapsed due to disrepair, and Wuxian Cultural Relics Management Committee moved it to Situ Temple Monument Gallery. Shurangama Sutra is a well-preserved stone carving sutra of Ming Dynasty.
1On August 30th, 957, the Shurangama Sutra was listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Jiangsu Province by the People's Government of Jiangsu Province. Shenen Temple, full name Tianshou Shenen Temple. Located in the southeast of Guangfuxuan Tomb in Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, under Chai Zhuang Mausoleum, facing Taihu Lake. During the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty, the "Tianshou Temple" was founded. During the reign of Bao You in the Southern Song Dynasty, the "Shenen Temple" was built again, and the halls were juxtaposed. This place was once transformed into an upper and lower Dojo. In the first year of Yuan Tianshun (1328), the young master Ajiba presented the tablet of "Shengen Temple". Tianshou Temple was destroyed by fire in Zheng Zhengchu, while Shenen Temple survived. As the birthplace of southern Buddhism, Kangxi, Qianlong and Guangfu Tan Mei have stopped here many times. In the ninth year of Zheng Zheng (1349), Zen master Feng Wan, a famous monk in the south of the Yangtze River, entered Wu from Hangzhou and went to Xuanmu Mountain. With the arrival of Feng Wan, there are more and more believers. In the ninth year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1376), Guanyin Pavilion and its main hall were built, and Sheng 'en Temple began to take shape.
There are three giant cypresses in front of the Hall of Ursa Major, which are more than 1,800 years old. The thickest waist is 5.2 meters tall and straight, showing a living fossil shape. Song Feng Shui Yue, a poem written by Emperor Kangxi, is a poem written by Fu.
The ninth day of the first month is Indra's birthday, commonly known as "Amanome". Sioux City has the custom of "fasting the sky". Since the thirty-eighth year of Kangxi (1699), the "fasting ceremony" of Sheng 'en Temple has a long history, which is a day when those who are willing to pay gather and those who are watching are blocked. Every year, 30,000-50,000 people attend the "fast day" ceremony of Shenen Temple. Traffic jams are frequent in Guangfu town, and people outside Shenen Temple are crowded. From the eighth day of the first month to the tenth day of the first month, it lasted for three days and was very lively. On this day, believers, tourists and vendors from all directions will gather here. Here is a Buddhist holy land, a wish to pray for disaster relief and peace and good fortune, and many folk art activities have been preserved.
1986 Sheng 'en Temple was once listed as a cultural relics protection unit in Wuxian County, but now it is listed as a cultural relics protection unit in Suzhou due to the adjustment of administrative divisions. Shijie Temple is located in Tanshan, Guangfu Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou, also known as Shijie Jingshe. There was no test when the temple was founded, and the silent Zen master lived here in the early Qing Dynasty. There were dozens of buildings in Shijie Temple during the Republic of China, all of which were originally jade buddhas given by Myanmar believers. There are several plantains and a wisteria in the yard, which looks very scholarly. The hall is not high, just like a residential building. The words "magnifying lamp" are hung above the door. The temples on both sides are now places for tourists to rest. Next to the cliff behind the temple, there is a spring, which is clear and sweet and inexhaustible. Zen master's life "Yu Liuquan" means "I" and "I". There is Wanfengtai on the left side of the temple. The Wanfengtai inscribed by Zhao Huanguang in Ming Dynasty is said to be the training ground of Feng Wan's father in Yuan Dynasty.
There are many cliff carvings on the stage from the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China. Standing on Wanfengtai, you can see the mountains winding towards each other, the Yun Fan of Taihu Lake ups and downs, and the seventy-two peaks are far away from Libo, embracing the beauty of green mountains and green waters in Guangfu area. In the old society, this was a must-see for Tan Weimei.
Shishen 'an Temple was listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Wuxian on 1986, and now it is listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Suzhou due to administrative divisions.
