Linggu Temple Shanmen Linggu Temple was first built on a grand scale, with numerous pagodas. In addition to the Wuliang Hall, there are other buildings, such as King Kong Hall, Tianwang Hall, Wufang Hall, Pilu Hall, Guanyin Pavilion, Zen Hall, guest rooms and abbot rooms. Unfortunately, because of the fire and soldiers, only five grain shops survived. At present, there are mainly release ponds, King Kong Hall, King of Heaven Hall, Infinite Hall, Wufang Hall, Pilu Hall, Guanyin Pavilion and other halls in the temple. There is Baozhi Palace Tower behind the temple, which is very majestic. There are three archways at the entrance of Linggu Temple, with the title "Guling Scenic Area" on the middle door and "Songsheng" and "Quantao" on the side door.
After entering the gate and crossing the rain channel, you will see no Liang Tang. Wuliangdian, formerly known as Wuliangdian, was named after the worship of Infinite Buddha, and because the whole building is of masonry structure with no beams and rafters, it is commonly known as Wuliangdian. Wuliangdian is the only ancient building in Linggu Temple, which was built in the 14th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1382) and has a history of more than 600 years. During the Ming Dynasty (1436 ~ 1449), he once collected scriptures in the temple, with three giant buddhas in his body and 24 celestial phenomena on both sides. During the reign of Kangxi, Jiaqing and Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, there were repairs. Although it has been rebuilt several times, the main structure has never changed. The temple is rectangular in plane, 22 meters high, 53.8 meters wide and 37.85 meters deep. The roof of the main hall is glazed tile with double eaves and nine ridges, and there are three glazed Lama pagodas on the roof of the big house. In front of the temple is a spacious platform and behind it is a flat tunnel. The exterior is imitation wood structure, with a bucket arch under the eaves and doors and windows on the facade. Inside is a culvert that swings back and forth. There are five bays on the front, one ticket for each room and five tickets for each row. A coupon hole in the middle is the largest, with a span of over 1 1 m and a height of14m. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the traditional architecture in China reached the last peak, showing the image of simple form and complicated details. Coupled with the improvement of brick-making technology, the number of houses built with bricks suddenly increased during this period, and the "no beam hall" built with bricks appeared. The architectural structure of the beamless hall has changed the architectural tradition of combining beams with frames in ancient Chinese architecture. There are no beams and columns in the whole building, and it is made of bricks. Although there are similar beamless halls in other places in China, such as Ningbo Guobao in Zhejiang, Xiantong Temple in Wutai Mountain, Wannian Temple in Emei Mountain in Sichuan and Kaiyuan Temple in Suzhou, the beamless hall in Linggu Temple is more unique and perfect in architectural structure and technology. The construction of this temple is very arduous and complicated. The construction method of ancient stone arch bridge in China was adopted. The five coupon holes are made of grass-roots bricks and then spliced together to form a huge arched roof, which fully embodies the superb architectural art of the working people in ancient China.
1928, the national government changed Wuliangtang into a memorial hall for the fallen soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army and named it "Zhengqi Hall". There is a memorial archway for fallen soldiers with a roof in front of the temple. The square in the middle is engraved with "benevolence and righteousness" and the back is engraved with "saving the country and the people". In front of the square is a pair of white marble. The wall is engraved with the will of Premier Sun Yat-sen, and there is a 1 10 "Monument to the fallen soldiers of the National Revolutionary Army" engraved with the names of 33,224 fallen soldiers. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was a wax museum for celebrities of the Revolution of 1911, with the theme of "Light of China", which created ten groups of revolutionary events with the greatest influence in the Revolution of 1911.
Behind Wuliangdian is the first cemetery for fallen soldiers. At that time, due to the large number of soldiers killed, the cemetery could not accommodate all of them. Therefore, each rank of soldiers has a representative, and they are buried according to the lottery of the department. There is a monument at the east and west ends of the tomb wall on the north side of the cemetery, which is the monument to the fallen soldiers of the 19th Route Army and the 5th Army.
Behind the curved tomb wall is the Songfeng Pavilion, which is10m high and 41.7m wide with nine double eaves. This is a two-story building with reinforced concrete structure, which is built for future generations. There is a cloister outside, surrounded by red pillars, and the second floor is hollow. You can sit quietly in the pavilion, watching the pine crown like the sea and listening to the pines. There is Baogong Pagoda in the west of Tingxi, where the Buddhist monk Baozhi was moved and buried. There are "Three Monuments" in Tarnum, which are also famous Linggu Temple Monuments. The tablet is engraved with a portrait of a treasure drawn by Wu Daozi, a great painter in the Tang Dynasty, a hymn by Li Bai, a great poet, and an inscription by Yan Zhenqing, a calligrapher. The masterpieces of three famous artists are collected in one monument, which is rare in the world and is known as the three wonders of Tang Xian. Later, the historic stupa was destroyed one after another. There is a stone pagoda carved in front of it according to the original rubbings of Qianlong period in Qing Dynasty, which was rebuilt during Tongzhi period in Qing Dynasty. There is the Eight Merits Spring beside the tower. It is said that this spring water was taken from the western regions by an ancient monk from the western regions. As early as the Liang Dynasty, monks in monasteries used it to treat diseases and made it famous all over the world.
