In the first year of Xiaoguang Tianshun, the old name was changed to the present name.

Song Xian Zhunzhong (about 990- 1003) is in charge of a certain construction, and the fine monk raises money. " It is wrong to record here that "Tianshun changed the name of Faen in the first year" and it should be good wisdom. Guanmou' is difficult to evaluate. Monks once called it "Guan Gong and Guan Po" and enshrined it in the King Kong Hall. During the reign of Xianchun, Song Duzong Ministry of War Shangshu and county people (referring to Shi Min) printed Lei Ying's house and entered the temple (the record of guarding the house and entering the temple).

10. Tianning Temple in Xingtai, Henan:

Tianning Temple is commonly known as Xiwei Temple and Xingtai Temple. Located on the west side of the old city, it is opposite to Kaiyuan Temple in the east and west. According to the Records of Xingtai County in the 31st edition of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, "Tianning Temple was built in the northwest corner of the early Tang Dynasty, which was built by Huachi Lan Ruo, Tianning Wanshou Zen Forest in Song Ci, and rebuilt by the Zen master in five years from Yuan to Yuan". According to historical records, Tianning Temple in Yuan Dynasty was a giant temple, named "Datianning Temple". The original buildings are the Four Heavenly Kings Hall, the Ursa Hall, the Water Hall, the Virtual Zen Master Tower and a large number of stone carvings in previous dynasties. According to historical records, in the early years of the Tang Dynasty, the government built a temple named Huachi Lan Ruo near a pond full of lotus flowers in the west of Xingzhou City. After the completion of the temple, monks set up an altar to give lectures, and Buddhist activities flourished unprecedentedly, becoming a good place for Buddhists and believers to practice. By the Song Dynasty, Huachi Lan Ruo had become an important Zen Dojo in the Central Plains. During the Zheng He period in Song Huizong (A.D.11-kloc-0/11/), Evonne named Huachi Lan Ruo as Tianning Wanshou Zen Forest. At that time, the incense in the temple was very prosperous and the scale was unprecedented. In order to pray for Xingzhou, the statue of Saint Darani in Tianning Temple was erected in Tianning Temple several tens of feet high. However, "there is no peace in Xingzhou for a day", especially during the Song and Jin Dynasties, because of the alternation of political power and constant wars, Xingzhou area was "a thousand miles depressed, and only 100 families in the city blocked it with earth and entered and exited caves". It is a pity that the magnificent Tianning Temple ancient temple was devastated by years of war, "falling into rubble after the chaos", the Buddhist temple was in disrepair for a long time, and the Dojo was gradually reduced. 1238 AD, this year was the second year of Song Jiaxi, the tenth year of Mongolian Wokuo Taihan, and the Yuan Army entered Xingzhou City. At that time, the "anxious masters" of Xingzhou Shuaifu held a famous "Xingzhou Rectification" in Xingzhou, and at the same time hired a "big monk" to revive Tianning Temple Dojo.

Tianning Temple, after the restoration of the virtual Zen master, restored the most distinctive water temple on the lotus pond in the early Tang Dynasty. What is the water temple? It's a building built on water. Xingzhou City in Yuan Dynasty was not only a spring city, but also a water city. Rivers from Huoda Spring and Yehu Spring flow into the city, forming many puddles. In the west of Xingtai City, the water from the Shuihu River in the west flows into the city through the water gate in the west wall, forming a larger pond in the west. The river is pumped back to the river city in the north of the city through the water gate on the north wall, and there is a pool in the Buddhist temple. The pond is full of lotus flowers and the air is clear. This Dojo, built in the Tang Dynasty, is called "Xingzhou Wensi" under the auspices of virtual photos. Tianning Temple in Song Dynasty (photo by Liu Dunzhen) embodies the contribution of Zen master to history, the world and the Great Yuan Empire. He is good at discovering talents and employing people. First of all, he accepted Quan Yi, the son of Xing Zhou Shihao, as a monk and became the general manager of Zhongyuan. Later, he heard that Liu Kan "lived in the mountains of Wu 'an for a long time", "sent disciples to recruit talents", "studied under Liu Wenzhen's public school" and "made him a teacher by his eloquence". 1242, Liu, who came out of Tianning Temple in Xingtai, entered a political hall that could promote the historical process, with Yanjing as its capital, and completed the establishment of the Great Yuan Empire with Yuan as its title.

The ancient temple people preach Taibao Liu and went to Tibet to repair it in his early years; The monk can still talk about the past, but I'm ashamed to walk today and tomorrow.

Great achievements are an interesting place, and public comments have been made for Liu Hou for thousands of years; Who said that there is no country in the rivers and lakes, and it is not Gankun.

This song "Steven Liu in Tianning Temple" was written by Liu Daxia, one of the "Three Gentlemen of Hongzhi" in Ming Dynasty, after he came to Tianning Temple in Shunde to worship Buddha and listened to the monks in the temple telling about the past history. Between the lines revealed the poet's reverence for Liu. Liang Sicheng visited Tianning Temple in Xingtai a few years ago, Mr. Luo, an 80-year-old master of contemporary ancient architecture, came to Tianning Temple. In front of the three-room-wide Xieshan Temple, he touched the drum-holding stone engraved with moire, peony and lotus, looked at the begonia petals on Pu Fang's head, looked up at the dragon pattern on the roof, and recalled the past when Liang Sicheng and his wife came here to inspect. That's 18. The following year, Liu Dunzhen, Chen Mingda and other ancient architecture masters also came to Xingtai, and once again recorded the majestic posture of the virtual Zen master tower with a camera.
