In the northern suburbs of the ancient city of Yangzhou, Shugang winds like a sleeping dragon. The famous thousand-year-old temple Daming Temple is located on the middle peak of Shugang. Daming Temple is not a simple Buddhist temple, its category should be "Daming Temple scenery appreciation area".

It is composed of five parts: temple monuments, Qiling Tower, Jianzhen Memorial Hall, Immortal Old Museum, Xiyuan Fangpu, it is a rare tourist attraction in China that integrates garden scenery, cultural relics and religious buildings, and is a national cultural treasure with rich historical and cultural connotations.

Since the establishment of Daming Temple, it has been said that it is "the first scenic spot in Yangzhou". Daming Temple was built in the Southern Dynasty Song Xiaowu Emperor Daming period, so it is called "Daming Temple". More than 1500 years, the name of the temple has changed a lot, the first year of Renshou in the Sui Dynasty, the 60th birthday of Emperor Yang Jian of Sui Wen, the edict set up 30 towers in 30 states in the country to worship the Buddha's bone relics, one of which was built in the Daming Temple, called "Qiling Tower".

The tower is nine stories high, magnificent and magnificent, and is known as "the special person of Huaguo". Because the temple is named from the tower, "Daming Temple" and "Qiling Temple" are called together. Because Daming Temple is in the west of Sui Palace and Tang City, it is also called "West Temple". 、

In the first year of Tianbao in the Tang Dynasty, Master Jianzhen, the abbot of Daming Temple, passed on the scriptures and ordained here before he traveled to Japan. The temple is famous all over the world and has become an important ancient temple in the history of Sino-Japanese Buddhist cultural relics relations. In the third year of Tang Huichang, the nine-story Qiling Pagoda was destroyed by fire. Later, it was rebuilt by the monks through recruitment, but it was repeatedly abandoned.

During the Qingli period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu appointed Yangzhou to build Pingshan Hall on time. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Wu Xiu, the prefect of Yangzhou, rebuilt the Daming Temple. In the twelfth year of Chongzhen, Yang Ren was willing to rebuild again.

In the prosperous era of Qing Kangqian, Daming Temple expanded to be the first of the eight famous temples in Yangzhou. In the thirtieth year of Qianlong, Qianlong toured Yangzhou, and was very unhappy to see the word "Daming", so he personally wrote the imperial book "Edict Fajing Temple".

In the third year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, the temple was destroyed by the Taiping army. Since then, Daming Temple has been built several times, and the scale has gradually increased. The present temple was built by Fang Junyi, the two quasi-salt transport envoys during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty.

The temple was completely repaired, and the Buddha statue was gilded. Daming Temple has a new look. In order to welcome the statue of Master Jianzhen from Japan back to Yangzhou to visit relatives, it was renamed "Daming Temple". On the way, I passed by a Yangzhou painting boat archway, and behind the painting boat is a hotel.

Yan Shenyu and Koala walked up a gentle 100-step stone staircase, and in the square in front of Daming Temple, they were faced with a solemn and elegant archway. The archway is built to commemorate the perching tower and the perching temple, four pillars and three wings, the stone foundation is laid down, and the canopy is like a canopy. Above the middle gate, there are four characters in the seal book "Qiling Ruins" in the south.

On the back of the archway, there are four words of seal book "Fengle Famous District". It is named because it belonged to Fengle District of Dayi Township in the past. The front and back of the seal book are the handwriting of Yao Yu, the salt transport envoy in the Guangxu period, and the structure is neat. The font is majestic. A pair of stone lions standing in the south in front of the archway are particularly eye-catching, the stone lions are carved according to the specifications of the royal garden, the shape is strong, the head is right, the squatting body, the waist is straight. The front paws are flat and look out into the distance.

This pair of stone lions is an ancient relic of the famous temple Chongning Temple in Yangzhou, which was moved here in the 60s. On the east side wall outside the mountain gate, there is a stone carving embedded in the south, and there are five characters of "the first view of Huaidong" in the book of the cave. The stele was erected in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. Proposed by the prefect of Yangzhou, Gao Shikey, the famous poet Qin Shaoyou in the Song Dynasty praised the landscape of Daming Temple in the sentence calligraphy, the words were written by Jiang Heng, a calligrapher of Jintan.

During the Northern Song Dynasty, Yangzhou belonged to the jurisdiction of Huainan East Road, and the famous writer Su Zhe (Ziyou) and Qin Guan (Shaoyou) traveled to Daming Temple and composed poems and songs. The last sentence of Qin Shaoyou's poem is: "If a tourist talks about the United States, he must be the first view of Huaidong." Since then, the Daming Temple scenic spot is famous all over the world for "the first view of Huaidong".

In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongzheng once inscribed a couplet for Daming Temple: "Ten thousand pine moons are dressed in pearls, and the wind of five nights sings with Zen tin." Qianlong inscription: "The wonders of the Huaihai Sea are not open to a pure land, and the rivers and mountains are quiet and have a wonderful heart for the distant contract." ”

The wall of the west courtyard in front of the temple is the stone carving of "the fifth spring in the world", the book of King Yishu of Jintan, and the stone of Wang Ligeng of Xin'an. On the east corridor wall of the north courtyard of the Skytree Pavilion on the east side of Daming Temple, there is the inscription of the seal script "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" of the famous calligrapher Deng Shiru of the Qing Dynasty, which is a rare treasure of seal script in China.

When writing this Heart Sutra, 61-year-old Deng Shiru lived in the mountain temple for more than a month, bathed in vegetarian food every day, and bowed to the supervision and carving to show his detachment. This stele is exquisitely engraved, the chapter is vigorous, and it is the first masterpiece of Deng Shiru. On the south wall of the east corridor of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, there is also a stone carving of Deng Shiru's seal script: "How can there be an article in the sea, but also carry a book swordsman to the end of the world." It is also a treasure of Deng's stone carvings.

Different from ordinary temples, the mountain gate hall of Daming Temple also doubles as the "Tianwang Palace". The three words "Daming Temple" on the forehead of the main gate are engraved with Zhao Puchu's collection of "Longzang Temple Tablet" in the Sui Dynasty, and the font is ancient.

Yan Shenyu and Koala enter the door directly south to enshrine the seated statue of Maitreya Buddha, holding a cloth bag in his left hand and a Buddha bead in his right hand, Buddhism says that he will become a "future Buddha" after Shakyamuni Nirvana. On both sides, there is a couplet written by Zhu Yuanzhang, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty: The big belly can tolerate, and the world can tolerate the intolerable things; Smile often, laugh at the ridiculous people in the world.

Maitreya stands behind like the protector of the Dharma Wei Dao, his left hand is Mount Meru, and his right hand is pressed on the "demon pestle" to support the Buddha Bian Muni to preach the scriptures, so he is called the protector god of Buddhism.

On the east and west sides of the main hall, there are four heavenly kings, namely: the king of the eastern country, holding the pipa, can protect the land; The king of southern growth, holding a sword, can make people grow in good roots.

The wide-eyed king of the West, holding a jewel in his left hand and a dragon in his right hand, can observe quietly and protect the people; The king of heaven in the north has a lot of knowledge, pressing the silver rat in his left hand and holding an umbrella in his right hand, which can protect the wealth of the people and smell the fortune.

Yan Shenyu and Koala came out from the north gate of the Tianwang Palace, but saw that the courtyard was open, the ancient trees were towering, and the cigarette smoke was swirling. There are hundred-year-old cypress cypresses on the east side of the courtyard and century-old boxwood trees on the west side. At the north end, there is a slope about 2 meters high, and there are 15 stone steps along the slope.

In front of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, there is a three-legged two-layer hexagonal pagoda-shaped Baoding, the front of the Baoding is engraved with "Daming Temple", the back is engraved with "Wannian Baoding", and the sign is "A.D. 1981 years old Xin Youqiu abbot can be diligent and two preface monks stand".

The Daxiong Treasure Hall sits in the north and faces south, and the roof is the top of the mountain with triple eaves, the gray tile roof, and the leaky flower ridge. The high part of the roof ridge is inlaid with a treasure mirror, and the bricks are engraved with the words "wind and rain", and the back is engraved with bricks and the words "Guotai Min'an".

This is said from the Buddhist family, which means that the Buddhas and gods of the Daxiong Treasure Hall and the Tianwang Hall shoulder the heavy responsibility of protecting the peace of the country and the people in the world, and the wind and rain are smooth. The upper eaves, the middle eaves, and the lower eaves are surrounded by bucket arches, so that the eaves are overhanged, and the cornices are warped. Under the middle eaves, hang the horizontal plaque of "Daxiong Treasure Palace". The front and back are attached to the hard mountain cloister, the inner eaves are equipped with 24 door lattices, and the door is set in the middle of the back wall to open the backyard.

The law in the treasure hall is solemn, the scriptures are solemn, and the magic instruments are complete. The Buddha Shakyamuni, who sits on a lotus platform in the middle, is revered as "Nobita". The Big Buddha is flanked by Kaye and Ananda, one of his ten disciples, and after the death of the Buddha, Kaye presided over the first assembly of Buddhist believers at Vulture Mountain; Ananda was a cousin of the Buddha, intelligent and wise, good at memorization, followed the Buddha for 25 years, and wrote the content of the Buddha's teachings on the leaves of the bay leaf tree to become Buddhist scriptures.

The east head of the Big Buddha is the Medicine Buddha, in charge of the "Oriental Pure Glass World"; The western head is Amitabha, who is in charge of the "Western Elysium".

Like other temples, behind the altar is a group of clay statues of Guanyin on the island, the first Bodhisattva in the Western Elysium, who is known as the Bodhisattva of Great Compassion for her ability to relieve all suffering in the world.

On both sides of the altar are the statues of eighteen Arhats. The Buddha statues in the hall are all renovated, the golden light is radiant, and the law is solemn. There are many monks in Daming Temple, the incense is continuous, and the visitors are like weaving. Every year on Chinese New Year's Eve, the temple holds a bell striking event, and Chinese and foreign guests gather to pray for peace and blessings.

The Tibetan scripture building on the top of the two-storey five-wing single-eaves hard mountain is an important part of the Daming Temple, the Xuan is open and sparse corridor, and the roof ridge is embedded with the yang "Falun often turns", and the yin is engraved "Guotai Min'an". The plaque of the Tibetan scripture building is inscribed by Zhao Puchu.

Yan Shenyu and Koala passed through the octagonal gate of the "Article Olympic District", on the east side of the courtyard of Daming Temple, only to see a three-storey, three-room-wide, single-eaves mountain-style pavilion standing in front of us, hanging the "Pingyuan Building" plaque on it.

The couplet is majestic, and it is very appropriate to write about the scenery outside the building.

Pingyuan building has a total of three floors, the construction is exquisite, there is the victory of bamboo and stone in the courtyard, and it is now the abbot's room. The north of Pingyuan Building is the Sky Pavilion, and it is now the exhibition room for the authentic deeds.

Yan Shenyu and Koala entered the courtyard in front of the building, and the horizontal plaque in the courtyard was engraved with the four universes of "Initiation Stone House", which was the title of Emperor Daoguang for Jinshi Tao Shu during the Jiaqing period.

Tao Shu lives on the shore of Dongting Lake, because there is a stone in the pond water at the door of his house, the square is like a seal, called "Initiation Stone", Tao Shu has followed his father to study since he was a child, and the study is on the north bank of "Initiation Stone", so it is called "Initiation Stone House".
