On a drizzly summer afternoon, we walked into this thousand-year-old temple.
The main entrance is on the bank of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. Jiangcun Bridge and Fengqiao Bridge in the distance face each other across the river.
There are two scenic spots in Hanshan Temple, one is Qiao Feng and the other is Hanshan Temple. On both sides of the river.
The symbol of Hanshan Temple Scenic Area is three Chinese characters on the wall at the entrance, including the poems of Forest of Steles and a night-mooring near maple bridge. Unlike the red walls of many temples, the yellow walls of Hanshan Temple attract many tourists. Three characters of Hanshan Temple are written on the yellow gable. Inside the wall are classical and exquisite cornices, on the right is Fengjiang Tower, and on the left is Frost Bell Tower, all of which originated from a poem of night parking by the Maple Bridge.
Hanshan and Temple were written by two different people, so there will be a separate nomination after the word Temple. Hanshan Temple is named after a monk named Hanshan. As soon as you enter the door, you will find the Four Heavenly Kings Hall, Siddhartha Gautama Hall, Eighteen Arhats Hall, and Guanyin Bodhisattva Hall on the right. Then there is the cold palace, to bless the family happiness, harmony and peace, and the couple can go to worship together.
Hanshan Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty and spread to Japan through the culture at that time, so the style of the temple is almost the same as that of Kyoto, Japan. The prosperity of the Tang dynasty, the monuments of pavilions, the smoke from kitchen chimneys, the bell tower? Knock, knock, knock ... bells, these are all evoking the feelings of the Millennium.
Roadside lighting, cornices, puming pagoda, main building of temple. Various elements of the Tang Dynasty, together with rockery bamboo forests hidden among pavilions, are like works of art in Japanese gardens, which have stood here for thousands of years.
Koi fish Fish Pond is probably the biggest highlight of the temple, while koi fish Fish Pond located next to the pagoda should be the most spiritual. People in Qingshui are particularly fat, and tourists sometimes exclaim and sometimes discuss that koi fish is the most Chinese-flavored variety.
If it rains, I suggest going here to have a look and experience. How many towers are there in the rain? Characteristics of Jiangnan Water Town
The bells of Hanshan Temple are world-famous. Every year on New Year's Eve or New Year's Eve, Hanshan Temple will hold a bell ringing ceremony. The bell will ring 108, and each bell represents a concern. Listening to the 108 bell on the first day of the New Year, people will feel relieved layer by layer and wish people happiness and health in the new year.
Whether it is the Jiangnan characteristics of garden style or the spreading place of Buddhist culture, Hanshan poems are worthy of our careful taste. The accumulation of history is manifested in culture, and it is one of the attractions that cannot be ignored when visiting Suzhou.
