Legend of Guanyin Temple in Xiushui Lingshan

G 105 Line 135 1 Zhuan 1352 There is a branch line in the northwest of the city. There is a stone at the intersection with the words "Huangling Village" engraved on it. Huangling Village is called Huangtuling, and Mr. Zhang Henshui's former residence is located on the beautiful Changchun Lake. Walk 5 kilometers along the lakeside highway, and there is a sign that says Guanyin Temple. Guanyinyan Temple belongs to Xiatuqiao Village, Tian Ming Village, Yujing Town, Qianshan City. The name of the village of Tian Ming alone is very meaningful. According to legend, Cao Wei's army passed through this place during the Three Kingdoms period, and the place was named after the dawn.

Although the scale of Guanyinyan Temple in Tian Ming Village is not very large, it has a long history and magical legends. As the saying goes: the mountain is not high, the fairy is in the spirit; The temple is not big, but the saints are famous.

According to legend, 400 years ago, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there was a family in Xin 'an, Tongcheng, which was originally a single biography of the Five Dynasties. This year, a 7-year-old boy suddenly got an emergency, and it was useless to seek medical treatment everywhere. This is also the moment of death. That afternoon, an old beggar came outside the door, holding the door frame for water to drink.

When the unfortunate grandmother saw the beggar, she didn't drive people away. Instead, she brought a bowl of water and handed it to the beggar.

After the beggar took a sip of water, he scratched a few times in the bowl with his finger, and the bowl sparkled. He said to the old woman, if you feed this half bowl of water to the children, it will be all right tomorrow. With a grain of salt, the grandmother pried open her grandson's mouth with chopsticks and slowly fed the next half bowl of water. Strange to say, the child took a deep breath and blinked. Grandma was overjoyed and turned to ask the beggar old man, where is the fairyland? The old man said, when the child is well, you can take the red robe to Guanyin Rock in Shanhegou, Lingtoubao, Zhao Yu Township. When the old man said this, he was completely out of shape. Grandma wants to entertain the old people, but she can't find anyone in front.

Grandma saw a glimmer in the bowl before, but now she even speaks, and suddenly she disappears. Grandma thought, I don't know which bodhisattva came to save her precious grandson. She had to look up at the sky and pay homage.

Strangely, the next day, the 7-year-old grandson jumped off the ground as if he had never been ill. In the early winter of this year, the child, his father and grandfather walked and visited together, and finally visited Guanyin Rock in Shanhegou, Lingtoubao, Zhao Yu Township.

It turns out that Guanyin Rock is a cliff halfway up Qicai Mountain. Cliffs are full of cliffs. There are several caves on the cliff, and there is a Guanyin bodhisattva in one of them. The child's grandfather put the new red robe he brought on Guanyin.

Three generations, the Guanyin Bodhisattva who spread Guanyin Rock everywhere on the way back saved his family.

According to the second legend, during the Qianlong period about 300 years ago, a 5-year-old boy went up the mountain with his father to collect firewood, only to know that the child had climbed into the cave and could not be found in the blink of an eye.

Three years later, the child went home alone, but he didn't grow tall or fat at all, and he was still 5 years old. Adults ask, where have you been these years? Your family has suffered. The child said with a smile, there is delicious food in the cave, and everyone inside wears gold and silver. They took me to the east today and to the west tomorrow. I don't want to come back. Helpless, a fairy told me to go home, and I went out of the hole. I just got out of the hole and turned around, and I couldn't push the door open anymore.

There is another story. Legend has it that in the early years of the Republic of China, a 69-year-old man was herding cattle halfway up the mountain, and suddenly there were dark clouds and black waterfalls. A sudden rainstorm, the old man was driving cattle, and he had to get into the cave to hide. He saw all kinds of food, drinks, clothes and useful things in the cave, and a statue of Guanyin, all glittering. For the next hundred years, people talked as if they had seen it with their own eyes.

More than 20 years ago, there was a "fairy" at the foot of the mountain. As long as someone asks her questions, she can accurately calculate the Guanyin of Guanyinyan. She said where Guanyin Bodhisattva went today, when she returned to her residence, and so on, which was very vivid.

The above content is called legend, and there is no need to investigate its authenticity.

Today, I came to Cai Wu and climbed halfway up the mountain. The rock is magnificent, and there is indeed a hole in the cliff. The abbot of Guanyinyan Temple told me that there used to be a statue of Guanyin in a cave halfway up the waist, which was later changed into a woodcarving Guanyin. Whether it is Guanyin in clay sculpture or wood carving, Bodhisattva always wears dozens of layers of red robes, only showing her face. There used to be a 5-meter-high pavilion in front of the cave, and two adobe tile houses on the right side of the cave collapsed as early as the early 1980s.

At the flat bottom of the cave where Guanyin Bodhisattva was hiding, two thatched cottages that used to rest also collapsed in the early 1980s. 1986, the believers of the local Xiatuqiao production team built a zhaitang in the hut under Guanyinyan. 1987, guanyin temple was built and named Guanyinyan Temple. Guanyinyan Temple is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is a special case among the temples in the county.

Guanyinyan Temple is backed by Dawushan (formerly known as Tianzhu Mountain). In front of the Dragon and Tiger Lock, Changchun Lake is sparkling and colorful. The temple has towering ancient trees, quiet environment and convenient transportation. It is really a good place for practice.
