Who can tell me the history of South Shaolin in Putian?

The question about South Shaolin has a long history. In 1930s, Tang Hao, a sports historian, made a lot of textual research on it. Later, due to historical reasons, the question about South Shaolin was shelved. In modern times, the study of South Shaolin was brought back to the table by a group of people of insight in Fuzhou, the birthplace of South Shaolin. As early as the early 1980s, Quanzhou, an ancient city, started the study of South Shaolin in Quanzhou with the help of the upsurge of martial arts, which was confirmed by hanging a plaque in Daozhen Temple. 1988, Putian, who was revered as the ancestral home of South Shaolin in history, began to research South Shaolin and established the South Shaolin Research Association. 199 1 year, Putian announced the south Shaolin site of Linquanyuan, which attracted the attention of the Wulin community for a time. Ten years later, the South Shaolin fever caused by Linquanyuan site is still controversial. 1993, Fuqing Shaolin theory appeared, which made people feel more dazzling. San Shuo 1. Quanzhou said that Quanzhou, an ancient city that opened the Maritime Silk Road, has a long history. Quanzhou Wushu has a long history. In Ming History, there is a record that "the hand of Wenling stick is a wonder in the world". Quanzhou South Shaolin Temple was first seen in Changqing's "Road flyover with white eyebrows ordered to break Shaolin Temple". A book "The Secret of Shaolin Boxing" written in the late Qing Dynasty said: "There are two Shaolin in Sri Lanka, one in Zhongzhou and the other in Fujian." Tang Hao believes that this "middle of Fujian" Shaolin is Quanzhou Shaolin, thus establishing the status of Quanzhou South Shaolin. However, where is the specific location of South Shaolin in Quanzhou? The early view was that Quanzhou East Temple was South Shaolin. The reason is: When Chen Bing was in Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty (1856), Tuo Zengji presided over the "Shaolin Monument" written by Van Gogh, and later the testimony of "Qinci Dongchan Shaolin Temple" appeared. According to this, Chen of Quanzhou Historical Society thinks: "Daozeng Temple has two names, one is the official name, Daozeng Temple, the town country, and the other is the common name, Shaolin Temple." (See Chen's Textual Research on the Historic Sites of Shaolin in Quanzhou) The view that Zen is South Shaolin has a great influence in Wulin. 2. The theory of Putian first appeared in Xiao Yishan's Historical Materials of Modern Secret Society, saying that "Shaolin Temple is located in Jiulian Mountain, Futian County, Fuzhou". According to Hirayama Zhou's Secret Social History of China, Shaolin Temple is located in Jiulian Mountain, Putian County, Fuzhou. Later generations thought that "Futian" and "Putian" were misinformation of Putian. The History of Hong Men and Qing Shu led Shaolin to Jiulian Mountain in Putian County, thus forming the theory that "Southern Shaolin is in Putian". Some modern historical works, such as China's General History and Li's Modern History of China, all follow this theory. The above historical materials point South Shaolin to "Jiulian Mountain" in Putian. From this point, Tang Hao confirmed that there is no such place name as Jiulianshan in Putian, and further denied the statement that "Putian is south of Shaolin". 1987 Putian County Sports Commission discovered a number of cultural relics related to South Shaolin in Linshan Village, Xitianwei Town during the martial arts excavation and cultural relics investigation, and immediately formed an investigation team of South Shaolin ruins. After two years of work, with the cooperation of the provincial archaeological team and relevant experts, the site of "Linquanyuan" in Linshan Village, Xitianwei Town, Putian City was confirmed as South Shaolin Temple. 1989 was officially disclosed at the annual meeting of Fujian Wushu Association, which aroused strong repercussions. 1991September 14- 16, more than 50 experts and scholars from history, archaeology, religion, martial arts and other fields gathered in Putian and held a three-day "South Shaolin Site Demonstration Meeting". At the meeting, they listened to the "Archaeological Excavation and Preliminary Understanding of Putian Linquanyuan Site" by Lin, the provincial archaeological captain and consultant of the Provincial Wushu Association. After listening to reports, field trips, investigations and interviews, experts have formed a preliminary understanding of Putian South Shaolin in the spirit of seeking common ground while reserving differences, that is, basically judging Lin Quan Yuan, which is commonly known as Shaolin in central Fujian in martial arts, that is, South Shaolin. 65438+1held a press conference in the Great Hall of the People on April 5, 1992. Newspapers and telegrams at home and abroad reported that more than 50 overseas delegations from Singapore, the Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, Taiwan Province Province and Hongkong went to seek roots to worship their ancestors. 1In the spring of 997, Mr. Zhao Chu, President of the National Buddhist Association, wrote an inscription for "South Shaolin Temple" in Putian. The main achievement that constitutes South Shaolin in Putian is archaeological discovery. Linquan Garden was built in Zhenguan period of Tang Dynasty, with a total area of more than 20,000 square meters. Among the two stone troughs found in the site, one is engraved with the words "Monks and soldiers in the courtyard are always good, and they must be stone troughs". On the other mouth, the words "Zhu Luohan Bathing Tea Powder" are written. The word "monk soldier" is exclusive to Shaolin Temple in history, and "tea powder for bathing Luohan" is a medicine for healing. All these show that martial arts in temples were extremely prosperous in the past. Fuqing said that on July 1993 and 13, the Fujian Overseas Chinese News published the article "There is a Shaolin Temple in Fuqing" for the first time, which led to the third Shaolin Temple in Fujian Province-Fuqing Shaolin Temple. Fuqing Shaolin Temple is located in Xiaolin Village, Xinningli, East Jang Jin, Fuqing City. Xiaolin Village was originally named Shaolin, and there are records of Fuqing Shaolin Temple in Eight Min Tong Zhi, Sanshan Zhi and Fuzhou Fu Zhi. The book "Please Book the Gods" circulated among the people in Fuqing has the name of "Galand of Shaolin Temple". The site of Shaolin Temple is located on the south slope of Mile Mountain in Xinningli. The temple is built on the hill and has eight obvious platforms. There are stables, training grounds, Shaolin monks' tombs and other relics on the right side of the second hall. About 400 meters in front of the temple, there is a stone tablet engraved with the words "The shaman of Shaolin Temple is willing to raise the interests of all the people, and * * has the intention to build an outer stone bridge", which can be used as evidence for Fuqing Shaolin Temple. 1993, Fujian Wushu Association sent people to inspect Fuqing Shaolin Temple, and combined with literature records, it was confirmed that Fuqing Shaolin Temple did exist, based on five factors: 1. The Shaolin Temple in Fuqing disappeared after Qing Qianlong, which is consistent with the legendary destruction of Shaolin in Kangxi period. 2. There is no Futian County in Fuzhou, which is considered as the fallacy of Fuqing County. Fuqing belongs to Fuzhou Prefecture, and its geographical location is just in the middle of Fujian Province, which accords with the "secret of Shaolin Boxing". There were also monks in Fuqing in ancient times. The monk Decheng, who "learned from iron whip Shao Fa" in Houcun Congress Collection, is a high-ranking monk in Fuqing. 5. There is no Jiulian Mountain in Putian, and Fuqing Shaolin Site is located in Jiulian Mountain Range at the junction of Yongtai and Putian, which is probably the "real" and "South Shaolin". In recent years, Fuqing organized literary and historical workers to write a detailed investigation report "Fuqing also discovered the site of Shaolin Temple" through a large number of painstaking and meticulous investigations and textual research, which aroused great interest in the martial arts and academic circles at home and abroad. One Fujian province and three Shaolin temples have left many people at home and abroad who are concerned about the study of South Shaolin at a loss. How many are there in South Shaolin? Is it one or more? This serious academic problem needs to be further explored and verified through historical materials of cultural relics. Through hard work, I believe that people will eventually unveil the mystery of "South Shaolin" and restore its historical true colors.
