Chapter 36 Wensi Temple's Past and Present Life Master Shen burns incense to thank the Buddha

At this moment, the canal is sparkling, and it is like a golden ribbon that connects the villages on the blue sky, forming a magnificent natural picture. Master Shen walked northwest along the embankment of the Li Canal and went straight to the Wensi Temple on the west side of Huzui Avenue.

Master Shen knows history, he knows that the Ming Dynasty rose during the Jiajing period, and its tribe was nomadic in the area of Hohhot in present-day Inner Mongolia in the early days, and then gradually became stronger, and the Chahar Department, the overlord of the grassland, became the leader of the right-wing Mongolia in Liaodong. The control area extends from Xuanhua and Datong in the east, to the Hetao in the west, to the Gobi Desert in the north, and to the Great Wall in the south. Later, in order to open up pastures, he conquered Qinghai, and even used troops in Tibet for a time.

But in the Ming Dynasty, I have to say that the plague of the Japanese at that time, the "Japanese trouble" was the big trouble of the Ming Dynasty.

As early as the Hongwu period of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Japanese began to frequently move in the southeast coast of China. According to incomplete statistics, there were as many as 40 Japanese invasions recorded in the historical books during the Hongwu period. Moreover, with the increasing relaxation of the coastal defense of the Ming Dynasty, the plague also became more and more intense, and it reached its peak in Jiajing.

No one would have thought that Shen Kun, who won the champion many years later, would actually become a famous anti-Japanese hero in history. He was praised by later generations not for his Wen Tao, but for his martial arts. And his best friend Wu Chengen may have been destined to miss the imperial examination, but in the end it was the immortal masterpiece "Journey to the West" that made him. Let future generations sigh, I can't help but think of Li Bai's sentence "I am born to be useful".

Unexpectedly, in the first month of the second year of Zhengde (that is, in 1507), after Liu Jin and others squeezed out Liu Jian, Xie Qian, Han Wen, etc., they wanted to take full power, so they set up miscellaneous arts for Wuzong to play with, and took the opportunity to take the chapters of each division to ask for a ruling.

Wu Zong said: "What am I using you for, to annoy me one by one." So Liu Jin no longer repeated, no matter how big or small, he arbitrarily cut it off and carried out the decree. Wu Zong didn't know a lot. In January, the central official issued a decree, and there was almost no day.

According to the old system, there was only one member of the right attendant in the sixth department of Nanjing. On March 16 of the second year of Zhengde (that is, 1507 AD), Yang Tinghe, a scholar of Zhan Shi and Hanlin Academy, and Liu Zhong, a scholar of Hanlin Academy, spoke directly at the feast.

Liu Jin's misdeeds aroused the anger of Chinese and foreign ministers and subordinates, and the impeachment of Liu Jin was endless. In March of the second year of Jiang Qinzhengde, the imperial history of Nanjing, the recital was particularly intense, but he finally died unjustly in prison with hatred.

In fact, there are internal and external troubles, and the eunuchs' chaotic government has intensified......

Wensi Temple, northwest of Shanyang County, Huai'an Province, next to Huzui Street, an ancient town under the Wuli River. Formerly known as Tongyuan Temple, Great Compassion Temple.

Wensi Temple was built at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Xianghe Lake (Chengxi Guanjia Lake, also known as West Lake), the smoke and waves are vast, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the poetry is picturesque, and the environment is beautiful. After the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, due to floods and military disasters, there were several ups and downs.

In the Song Dynasty, the monk Lanyu was rebuilt, and the temple was named Dabei Nunnery, and the Qing rules and precepts were very strict. During the Yuan and Ming dynasties, due to the flooding of the Yellow River many times, the Great Compassion Nunnery was flooded several times.

Wensi Temple is one of the famous temples in Huai'an, most of the abbots and hosts of the past dynasties are knowledgeable, and the literati and writers are also happy to interact with them.

When Yanwen was the abbot, the scholars interacted with him more, and the master received him with sincerity.

The abbot of the source holds the precepts, regardless of the cold and summer, he is good at writing Danqing, loves to paint the cold plum in the snow, and has the meaning of Zen silence in the pen and ink.

The abbot of Xihua is ancient and simple, good at cursive calligraphy and poetry, and has gifts with Huai'an literati.

In the middle of the Wanli year of the Ming Dynasty, Feng Yijiao, a native of Shanyang, improvised a poem with his friends when he overlooked Taohuawu in the north of Huai'an Mansion City.

Arctic hermitage

Feng Yijiao

Polar Eye Peach Blossom Dock, the empty name is left.

Time passes by sincerely, and people are also floating.

Breeding sheng song land, depression Lu Di Zhou.

Only the birds on the sand do not know sorrow.

"Shu Gao Taomo": "There is no vacant official, heavenly work, and people replace it." "Panpan: drifting appearance.

Master Shen looked at the Peach Blossom Dock in the north of the city, and now there was only this name left. Time flies, and everyone is a hurried passer-by in the world. The turnover of personnel from generation to generation is like a bubble on the water, rising and bursting.

This is the transit place of Caoyun, there are many people and businessmen, there are songs and dances day and night, and it is very lively.

On the reed-covered sandbanks on both sides of the river, only some unknown wild birds were left flying leisurely, as if there was no sorrow.

People are in good spirits when they are happy, and when Master Shen walked into the temple at this time, he heard the sound of singing Buddha from afar. The pious pilgrims came in and out in twos and threes, and that solemn look made Master Shen hurriedly put on his clothes.

In front of the majestic Daxiong Treasure Palace, the fragrance is curling Tingting, the people of the Buddha fold their hands, they take out the high incense from the incense tripod and light it, the old man Shen sincerely worships the Buddha for the first time, but the perseverance of the lady in exchange for the gift of God, the lively and lovely little grandson Shen Kun let the old man Shen come to worship the blessing of the Buddha so sincerely for the first time.

"Amitabha, there is no Amitabha in the south. Thanking the Buddha for his love, giving the Shen family incense, I came to thank the Buddha today, and asked the Buddha to continue to bless. Master Shen fell to the ground and burned incense and prayed.

And Mrs. Shen will worship Guanyin at home every day and thank Guanyin Bodhisattva for her grace. The future champion Shen Kun was born in such a warm and loving family, and the reason why he was able to win the championship was also an inevitability in chance.

The young master went out after taking a nap, and the old man Shen's father and son did not return to the Shen Mansion at the moment, so naturally the little young master was weaned, and the young grandmother was looking forward to them going home to be the master.
