Chapter 195: Prejudice
"Send a few people to investigate the situation of Huayan Temple, Nansi Temple and Baiyi Temple."
"Yes."
Luo Cong was ordered to arrange for someone to investigate.
It's so weird that there would be a monk to give him a dream, and it's so real.
Wang Zezhi is a materialist, he does not believe in ghosts and gods.
However, his crossing itself is a puzzle, so he has to pay attention to the dream of Monk Jeonghyun.
After Luo Cong left, Wang Zezhi took out the official records of Datong Mansion and checked the description of Huayan Temple.
Sure enough, the content recorded in the Fuzhi is exactly the same as what Monk Jeonghyun said.
However, there are some records that the Zhengxian monk did not say, and Wang Zezhi read it.
In the three years of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Huayan Temple changed the main hall to a large warehouse.
Twenty-four years, in accordance with the provisions of the Zen preaching and teaching, the Tibetan monks were set up and the temple was reestablished.
Until the Ming Dynasty, the early years of Xuande.
Knowing that the Zen master was the host, he resolutely took the addition of repairs as several terms and began the repair of Huayan Temple.
He flew to the tin and traveled to the Quartet, which lasted two years, and then made three golden statues, which were invited by the Beijing master here.
In the second year of Xuande, Meng Xia welcomed the Buddha into the city in March.
Datong officials, Wu'an Hou Zheng Xiang, eunuch Guo Jing, governor Cao Keng and staff officer Shen Gu also contributed to it.
Yan Daxiong Palace, three statues of Ambilu, two wings on the side, monks and monks have a permanent residence in the building.
Orderly and good work can be called its own system, and it can be done with great effort, and it will take a new look.
After the death of the Yuan, the first monk Zibao presided over the statue, two statues of the Yuan, a total of five such as lai, and the construction of the ceiling, the painted eaves chess, the bright and large.
Ming Jingtai five years, Huayan Temple head monk Zhengxian and its wall steps.
Seeing this, Wang Zezhi was terrified.
The fifth year of Jingtai is 1454 A.D., and now it is 1629 A.D.
More than a hundred years ago, a monk gave him a dream, hoping that he would not tear down the temple.
Wang Ze's mood fluctuated, and it was difficult to calm down.
He trembled and picked up Fu Zhi and continued to look at it.
In the early years of Wanli, Huayan Temple was divided into two temples.
In nine years, Shanghuayan Temple laid the brick Yongdao for the first time, added railings on the platform, and erected a wooden workshop in the east of the lane, built a stone bridge under the workshop, cast a flood bell, and built a meditation hall.
Huayan Temple is indeed a cultural relic, but the cultural relics alone cannot change his plan to build a market in the south of the city.
If the scene that Zhengxian dreamed of giving him was true, this would make Wang Zezhi give up his plan to demolish Huayan Temple.
He was waiting, waiting for his subordinates to find out.
When he was too bored, Wang Zezhi opened the Fuzhi and checked the records about the South Temple.
Shanhua Temple, commonly known as South Temple.
It was built in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, repaired in the Ming Dynasty, and changed its name to Shanhua Temple in the tenth year of Ming orthodoxy.
The main building of Shanhua Temple sits north and faces south along the central axis, gradually unfolding, layer upon layer.
The front is the mountain gate, and the middle is the three temples, all of which were built in the golden time.
The Liao Dynasty relics Daxiong Treasure Hall is located on the rear high platform, and its left and right are the east and west halls.
The east side is the ruins of the special pavilion, and the west side is the Fuxian Pavilion built in the second year of Jin Zhenyuan.
The building of Shanhua Temple is high and low, the main and secondary are distinct, the left and right are symmetrical, it is the largest and most complete Liaojin period building in existence.
"Well, it's a relic too."
Wang Zezhi muttered and continued to read.
Shanhua Temple sits in the north and faces south, covers an area of about 20,000 square meters, the main building is the Tianwang Palace, the Three Temples, the Daxiong Treasure Hall according to the central axis, and the layers are high.
There is Wenshu Pavilion in the east, and Fuxian Pavilion in the west.
The Tianwang Palace, the Three Temples, the Daxiong Treasure Palace, and the Fuxian Pavilion are all the original structures of the Liaojin period.
Shanhua Temple conforms to traditional Confucianism, with the north as the top, the building sits in the north and faces south, the left and right are symmetrical, and the main and secondary are distinct.
The Tang Dynasty was a heyday in the development of Buddhism, and the architecture of Shanhua Temple retained more of the characteristics of the original Tang Dynasty.
Shanhua Temple uses the high platform to make the building rise step by step, so that the courtyard is scattered.
Seeing this, Wang Zezhi closed the mansion zhi, and he hesitated when he looked at the map of Datong Mansion City.
On the west side of the south of Datong City, these temples occupy a large area, and if they can be demolished, it will be a large piece of land.
If it is not demolished, such a large area is used to build temples, Wang Zezhi always feels that it is a waste of land in the city of Datongfu.
Now he has to wait.
The waiting time was always boring, so Wang Zezhi came to the stove and looked at the fire.
The stove was burning red, and Luo Cong should have helped him get it. sweet potato
Wang Zezhi moved the recliner to the stove, found a large coat, draped it on his body and lay down.
Time is always the easiest time to spend in sleep.
The second day of the Lunar New Year, noon.
Today, the snow has stopped, the temperature has begun to rise, but the fire in the stove is getting stronger and stronger, and the lid on the stove is burning red.
Luo Cong stood quietly beside Wang Zezhi, filling the water tank.
Because the stove was too baked, Wang Zezhi turned over and woke up.
"Oh, Luo Cong, how's the situation?"
"My lord, the upper and lower temples, the South Temple, the Baiyi Temple, and the three temple hosts have all passed away.
They all participated in the battle of Hudun Rabbit, and most of the monks in the temple were killed or wounded. ”
Luo Congyu reports.
"Do they have soup kitchens?"
"Yes, all three temples have soup kitchens.
However, the three temples inspected by the sentinel did not have much to eat. ”
It turned out to be true.
Wang Zezhi got up and opened the window and looked at the sun in the sky, which was not warm.
Wang Zezhi judged these temples with preconceived prejudices, superficially believing that they were all opportunists.
Now, the facts tell him that he was wrong.
When Lin Dan Khan went south to invade Datong Mansion, the people in the mansion left, but this group of monks did not.
Not only did they not leave, but they also participated in the war to defend Datong.
Wang Zezhi looked at these temples with colored glasses, but now he was slapped in the face by the behavior of the monks in the temple.
Wang Zezhi felt a little ashamed.
"The order is to order the logistics to take 300 stone of rice grain, and each of these three temples will send 100 stones."
"Obey."
Before that, Wang Zezhi took a group of people and brought rice grain to the monks of the three monasteries.
Wang Zezhi came to the door of the temple.
The monk in charge of the soup kitchen here explained while tapping the porridge bucket with a spoon.
"No, today's porridge is finished."
The monk turned the bucket over and pointed it to the people, signaling that there was no porridge in the bucket.
The people who received the porridge thanked them, and those who did not receive the porridge scattered to the next temple.
When the monk saw that the people were gone, he brought a bowl and scraped it on the spoon, scraped off some congealed porridge and rice, and devoured it.
"If you don't have anything to eat, why do you need to give porridge?"
Wang Zezhi walked over and asked puzzled.
"Amitabha, good, good.
It is precisely because everyone has nothing to eat that they have to give porridge. ”
The monk hurriedly put down the bowl and saluted Wang Zezhi with one hand, and said with a Buddha horn.
"Well, that's pretty simple."
The reason is very simple, this sentence is also very simple, but there are very few things that can be done.
"Amitabha, good, good.
I'll donate some incense money and ask the little monk to lead the way. ”
"Donor, please."
The little monk stretched out his hand and motioned for Wang Zezhi to follow him.
Wang Zezhi followed.
Not long after, the little monk took Wang Zezhi to the Daxiong Treasure Hall.
In the north corner of Huayan Temple, it is one of the largest Buddhist halls in the existing Liaojin period.
Daxiong Treasure Palace, the body of the hall is eastward, the main hall is nine rooms wide, five rooms are deep, stand on the platform of more than four meters high, there are stone steps in front of the platform, the hook bar is installed around, there are three memorial arches of Qing style on the platform, the left and right are the hexagonal bell and drum pavilion.
The front eaves of the palace are equipped with three plate doors, all of them are pot doors, and the single eaves are on the top of the palace, and the folding is gentle.
The glazed owl kiss on the main ridge is very large, composed of eight glazed components, and the north kiss is the original of the Jin Dynasty; The south kiss was made in the Ming Dynasty and is also the largest glazed kiss beast in ancient Chinese architecture.
The top is covered with tube tiles, and the yellow and green glazed tiles are trimmed.
Quite spectacular.
Wang Zezhi, who had just made some changes to the three temples, saw this golden and brilliant treasure hall, and his face sank instantly.
Because he felt that the monks must have spent a lot of money to build such a splendid treasure hall.
