Ciyun Temple in Qinglong Mountain is located in Quan Min Village, Dayugou Town, gongyi city, more than 20 kilometers away from Gongyi City. Surrounded by mountains, a river flows, peaks are connected with feelings, trees are hidden, and the environment is very quiet. It is an ideal place for leisure and holiday.
Ciyun Temple, built in Han Dynasty, is the first jungle in Gongyi. The inscription in the temple records, "In the seventh year of Emperor Hanming (AD 64), there was a monk named Mo Teng, and Zhu Falan built the White Horse Temple in the west of Luoyang. Because of its beautiful mountains, he traveled to its mountains and opened the Ciyun Temple." Therefore, the Buddha's compassion is vast, covering the whole world.
Ciyun Temple has gone through many vicissitudes, either prospering or abolishing, and has continued to this day. After more than two thousand years of ups and downs, it has become a thought-provoking ancient temple. From the first year to the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (AD 627-629), Tang Sanzang Xuanzang was entrusted to rebuild this temple. Incense was still popular in the Song Dynasty. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was once deserted due to war and famine. From the ninth year of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1444) to the fifth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1866), it was repaired in all dynasties. In its heyday, the halls were lined with splendor, and 500 or 600 monks and pilgrims came like clouds. Because of its superior appearance and systematic beauty, namely Lushan Mountain in Yuan Gong and Shaolin in Dharma, there is no such place.
The ancient Ciyun Temple experienced more than 2,000 years of vicissitudes and gradually declined after the late Qing Dynasty. The existing inscriptions in Ciyun Temple are precious tourism resources in terms of artistic value and historical value. Protect it. There is a Tong Ming Monument engraved with the picture of the fifty-three peaks of Ciyun Temple in Qinglong Mountain. Surrounded by peaks, ten thousand valleys contend, and Morton and Zhu Falan stand at the top of Qinglong Peak. Flying high, the plane line of Ciyun Temple is engraved in the middle of the monument, leaving us precious historical materials.
