Chapter 25: The Three Temples of the Most Holy Conchus

On both sides of the land grandfather and the land grandmother, there are two maids, which the villagers are afraid that they will be tired over there, so they specially pay tribute.

Chu Yunqiu took out the incense, saluted Grandpa Land and Grandma Land, and then went to the Mountain Temple.

Compared with several other temples, the mountain temple can be said to be deserted, and there is a clay statue sitting alone in the room, which is very tall, and there is not even a child, which can be said to be extremely miserable.

Chu Yunqiu planned to match the mountain god with two boys in the future and take care of his diet and daily life.

Facing the door is the main hall, the main hall is enshrined in the Jade Emperor's throne, known as the Jade Emperor Palace, in addition to the Jade Emperor, there is also the Queen Mother, the two statues are unusually tall, on both sides, eight boys guarded among them, the two statues are very majestic, and on the bodies of the two gods, but also covered with yellow silk, this is after the reform and opening up, when Grandpa Chu was the patriarch, presided over the ceremony, personally put on the two old people, it is said that the scene is very large, the whole village of men, women and children have come, It's a pity that there was no Chu Yunqiu at that time, and Chu's father had just gotten married.

The whole hall is very quaint and atmospheric, and there is a huge bronze tripod in the center, which is full of incense ash, which has been accumulated over the years, and no one has cleaned it.

Chu Yunqiu lit two bouquets of incense, saluted the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, and kowtowed respectfully.

Da Wang and Xiao Wang had already seen it, and they followed behind Chu Yunqiu like that.

At the back of the Jade Emperor Palace, there is a small courtyard, this is the second layer, very quiet, the courtyard is planted with some green bamboo and a huge mulberry elm tree, a huge laurel tree.

There are also five halls in the small courtyard, the larger temple on the left is enshrined in the great god that people worship - the God of Wealth, the mulberry elm tree is planted next to the temple of the God of Wealth, in the countryside, the mulberry elm tree is also called the elm money tree, it is also the legendary money tree, because the mulberry elm is very similar to the ancient copper coin, so they all say to eat the mulberry elm and make a fortune.

In addition to the statue of the God of Wealth, there is also the golden boy and jade girl, the statue of the god of fortune and treasure, the appearance of the boy, very cute, the boy holds a stack of big ingots, the girl holds a jade Ruyi in her hand, in the hands of the God of Wealth, there are countless ingots, there is a cornucopia in front, behind him, a black tiger is revealed.

The smaller temple on the left is worshiped by everyone is to send a son Niangniang, in ancient times, the idea of patriarchy was very strict, in order to get a man, burning incense and worshiping the Buddha is the most common, some specially invited Taoist monks to practice, hoping to give birth to a boy, in ancient times, giving birth to a boy means superiority, and the mother is not an empty word.

In addition to the kind and gentle Sending Niangniang in the temple of the Sending Child, she held a girl in her right hand and a boy in her left hand, and all three of them were standing.

Chu Yunqiu walked into the temple of the mother who sent the child, offered incense, and picked up the bamboo tube on the table, there were many sticks in the bamboo tube, some of which were written for boys, some for girls, and some for children.

Chu Yunqiu shook the bamboo tube, and after a while, a bamboo stick fell from it, Chu Yunqiu picked it up, and it said "girl" on it, Chu Yunqiu shook his head with a smile, put the bamboo stick into the bamboo tube, put it back in its place, and didn't take it seriously!

The two halls on the right, the larger one is the Wenqu Palace, the Song Dynasty, the emphasis on literature and light martial arts, and now it is the same, it has always been the college entrance examination to change the fate, and there is no martial arts to change the fate, the chivalry is forbidden to martial arts, in the Song Dynasty, it is forbidden to martial arts, everyone's ideal is the champion of high school, and Wenqu Xingjun is in charge of this aspect, who does not respect him.

The slightly smaller temple is dedicated to the old moon, in front of the old temple is the laurel tree, originally hung things, but now there is nothing on it, no, there are things, there are birds, and there is a bird's nest, the magic is that this bird's nest lives in it - magpies! Magpies build bridges, marriage comes!

On the other side of the Yuelao Temple, there is a small pool, those green bamboos grow next to it, but it is a pity that the current pool has now dried up, and this pool is the Yuelao Pool.

And the largest main hall, is the Sanqing Temple, dedicated to the Sanqing Dao ancestor, Taiqing sage - moral Tianzun, Yuqing sage - Yuan Shi Tianzun, Shangqing sage - Lingbao Tianzun, the whole hall, only sit and stand three, in the center of the main hall, is a huge copper furnace, there is nothing in the copper furnace, that is the place to burn incense.

Chu Yunqiu was very respectful.

The last temple, at the top of the hill, is the highest point, and along the steps, through the path, leads to the third level of the temple.

On the third level, there was only one shrine, and nothing was planted in it, except for a few lonely stone tablets.

The last hall is dedicated to Confucius, the most holy in the world!

What kind of place is Ludong, the hometown of Confucius! Who is Confucius, the founder of Confucianism! What is Confucianism? It is the ruling ideology of China for thousands of years!

During the Song Dynasty, Confucianism reached a peak. Song Zhenzong named Confucius as the "Most Holy Wenxuan King", and since then, Confucius has stepped into the ranks of "the most holy". This is not important, the most important thing is that there were several ruthless people in the Song Dynasty, two of whom were brothers - Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, and when they arrived in the Southern Song Dynasty, they were carried forward by Zhu Xi and were known as "Cheng Zhu Lixue".

Confucius's status in the hearts of the literati is definitely rendered as a "high" existence, more important than the gods, and Confucius can be said to have become a kind of faith, a kind of spirit!

So the person who built the Taoist temple also added Confucius, and put it at the end, as the finale, the storage zĂ i, high up! Haoran Hall is also the largest of the three main halls, the best palace to build, there is a statue of Confucius standing in it, there are two people next to Confucius, on the left is Yasheng Mencius, on the right is Housheng Xunzi, next to it, there are seventy-two people sitting, it is seventy-two sages, they are in different forms, some sit and listen, some hold Jinglun in their hands and look up at the sky, a look of endorsement, some are playing, there is a chessboard in the middle, one person looks down at the chessboard, and the other person holds the chess piece and looks down in contemplation.

Different forms, thousands of states!

It's a pity that after two catastrophes, Haoran Hall has declined, and few people come.

The first time was the "Down with Confucius" movement during the New Culture Movement, although the people of Chujiazhai did not wreak havoc on the Haoran Palace, but they also cut off the incense.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Haoran Hall once again had incense, but with the outbreak of "that revolution", the Red Guards were rampant, and many cultural relics were destroyed, and Chu Yunqiu's grandfather happened to be the patriarch at that time. Because the emperor is far away and isolated from the world, it is also a violation of yin and yang, and many precious things have been retained, but it is a pity that they are hidden by the old man.

Treating those who went to the countryside from Kyoto, the old man Chu was also very kind to them, often helping them, according to his father, he also saved a person's life, but when Gongtaizong was in power, he was rehabilitated and returned to Kyoto. What are you doing now, Chu Yunqiu doesn't know, she hasn't been in touch for a long time.

And there is also a wonderful story about my father, which the whole family often comes to joke about!

Therefore, in the entire Taoist temple, the incense of Haoran Hall is the least, and the incense of God of Wealth and Wenqu Xingjun is the most vigorous!

Chu Yunqiu came to the last Haoran Palace, looked at the dust on the ground, picked up the broom in the corner of the wall, and cleaned it carefully, there were the least people here, and many people stopped at the Sanqing Hall and left.

Chu Yunqiu looked at the sky, at this time the sun had already set, and night was about to fall, Chu Yunqiu lit the last few handfuls of incense and honored them in front of Confucius, Mencius, Xunzi, and the seventy-two wise men.

At this time, Da Wang and Xiao Wang were already hungry, and they kept pulling Chu Yunqiu's trouser legs.

"Okay, let's have a good meal for you today", Chu Yunqiu touched the little snow mastiff's head and walked down the mountain with a few little guys!

The ethereal view fell into silence again!
