When I arrived in jiangjin district, Chongqing, I was immediately intoxicated by the landscape charm here. Jie Zhong, head of the Cultural Tourism Promotion Section of the District Culture and Tourism Development Committee, told us that Jiangjin was named after being located in the Yangtze River. It was founded in the 5th year of Yongming, Southern Qi Dynasty (AD 487), and was built in Jianxian County 1500 years ago. 1992 set up a city from the county, and set up a district from the city in 2006. Jiangjin is the hometown of Marshal Nie Rongzhen and the residence of Chen Duxiu in his later years. It is also the hometown of longevity, martial arts, couplets, peppers, oranges and selenium-enriched foods in China ... Jiangjin also has a Shaolin Temple under siege!

"Jiangjin also has Shaolin Temple?" Jie Zhong's introduction aroused my interest, so I quickly asked.

"Yes, we also have a Shaolin Temple in Jiangjin. This time, we focused on collecting wind activities in Chongqing and specially arranged a trip to visit the Shaolin Temple in Simian Mountain, Jiangjin. " Jie Zhong told me.

On August 16, 2020, we focused on the "Landscape Chongqing" tour group, and after enjoying the "face value" and "characteristics" of Jiangjin tourism, we came to Simian Mountain Shaolin Temple with great interest.

Beautiful scenery seems to be a special idiom of Simian Mountain Shaolin Temple. In Jiangjin in autumn, it is like being popular on the water and falling fruit.

According to the inscription in the temple, Shuangfeng Temple was built in the late Tang Dynasty, and it was successively maintained in the Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty, Kangxi and Daoguang years. At that time, people rebuilt the temple here according to the pattern of Shaolin Temple, the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism, and named it "Jingde Temple" at that time. Later, because it was backed by Shuangfeng Mountain, it was renamed Shuangfeng Temple.

Shuangfeng Temple adheres to the practice concept of learning to live in the mountains and stay away from the hubbub, implements self-sufficiency in production, takes daily work as an integral part of meditation, and implements the guiding ideology of Zen combining agriculture and Zen. Shuangfeng Temple once set up a school called "Shuyuantou" in the nearby Taihe Field in zhongshan town. There are many temple products built dozens of miles in temples in Fiona Fang.

A few years ago, Zheng Derong, a Fujian businessman who developed in Chongqing, visited Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. At that time, the scene of boxing and chanting in Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou made him feel vitality and Zen, and the cultural brand of South Shaolin in Quanzhou has long been well-known at home and abroad, so he came up with the idea of introducing Shaolin culture to the West, and then he enthusiastically donated money for construction.

With the full support of Chongqing Jiangjin District Committee and Government, it took three years to build. Since 20 12 abbot Shi Changding led Master Chang Xian and prison monks into the construction management, Simian Mountain Shaolin Temple has continued the legal tradition, inherited Shaolin martial arts and Buddhist culture, and integrated local tourism, religion, commerce, landscape and other resources. Now it has been built and developed into a supernatural temple integrating religion, martial arts and tourism, which is an important cultural brand of jiangjin district.
