Introduction to the “treasure” of ancient architecture—Xuankong Temple

Introduction to the Xuankong Temple in Hengshan, Shanxi

The Xuankong Temple, also known as the Xuankong Temple, is located in Hunyuan County, Shanxi, 65 kilometers away from Datong City. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit. The Xuankong Temple was built more than 1,500 years ago in the late Northern Wei Dynasty. The Xuankong Temple has been repaired by successive dynasties. The Northern Wei Dynasty moved the Taoist Taoist altar south from Pingcheng, today's Datong. Ancient craftsmen followed the Taoist saying that "if you don't hear the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, The Xuankong Temple was built at the request of "Sound". The Xuankong Temple is about 50 meters high from the ground. The Xuankong Temple has developed my country's architectural tradition and architectural style. Its architectural features can be summarized as "strange, hanging and clever". Xuankong Temple is the only existing unique temple in China that combines Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. It was built among the cliffs and was first built in the late Northern Wei Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1,500 years. The Hanging Temple faces Hengshan Mountain, leans on a green screen at the back, is surrounded by dangerous rocks, faces a deep valley below, has suspended pavilions and has an ingenious structure. The Hanging Temple has forty palaces and pavilions. It is based on half-inserted flying beams based on mechanical principles, and cleverly uses rock hidden support pillars to integrate the upper and lower parts. The corridors and railings are connected to the left and right, with surprising twists and turns, and the virtual and the real are intertwined. There are more than 80 bronze, iron, stone and clay Buddha statues in the temple. The two characters "spectacular" on the rock under the temple are the calligraphy of Li Bai, the poet of the Tang Dynasty. The Hanging Temple is located on the cliffs of Jinlong Gorge in Mount Hengshan. It was built in the 15th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 491) and has a history of more than 1,500 years. It is the only existing Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian temple in China. A unique temple with "three religions in one". The entire temple is built on dangerous cliffs and faces deep valleys, with suspended pavilions and ingenious structures. There are forty pavilions in the palace, which are based on half-inserted flying beams based on mechanical principles and cleverly supported by rocks. The beams and columns are integrated up and down, and the corridors are connected to the left and right. They are twists and turns, and the virtual and the real are intertwined. The ancients said: "The mirage is suspicious of the sea, and the bird path disappears in the clouds." Li Bai, the poet of the Tang Dynasty, drunkenly wrote the word "spectacular". Xu Xiake, a great traveler in the Ming Dynasty, praised it as "the most beautiful place in the world". There are six hanging temples in China, four in the north and two in the south. The four in the north are the Xuankong Temple in Hengshan, Shanxi, the Xuankong Temple in Cangyanshan, Hebei, the Xuankong Temple in Chaoyang, Qixian, Henan, and the Xuankong Temple in Xining, Qinghai; the two in the south are Xuankong Temple in Xishan, Yunnan, and Daciyan Xuankong Temple in Jiande, Zhejiang.

Cangyan Mountain Bridge Tower Hall is one of the three largest hanging temples in my country. According to research, the stone bridge was built in the Sui Dynasty, slightly earlier than the Anji Bridge in Zhaozhou. The building on the bridge is a Tang Dynasty building. It faces west to east, 15 meters long and 8 meters wide. From a mechanical point of view, the total weight of the temple and its full load of tourists is about 35 tons. According to this calculation, the arch height of the bridge should be between 3.5 and 4 meters, but the arch height of the bridge is 2.8 meters. It spans between the cliffs of two mountains and has an open-shoulder arch shape with high wing angles and painted tassels. It is elevated above the sea of ??clouds, sky and fog, giving it an unattainable power and the potential to fly into the sky. In the bridge hall built on the bridge, there are three Buddha statues: Sakyamuni Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, and Medicine Master Glazed Light King Buddha. There is a statue of Guanyin in the middle and back, and there are eighteen Arhat statues on both sides of the hall. The majestic and unique bridge palace, located in the mountains and valleys, forms a world wonder of "flying rainbow from bridge palace", which is one of the "three wonders" of Cangyan Mountain. The most surprising and inexplicable thing is that on the winding road 100 meters above the Bridge Tower Hall, the skin of passers-by turns yellow and green. Optical experts, qigong masters, and Buddhists have different opinions. This is the "one wonder" of Cangyan Mountain . According to legend, Cangyan Mountain is the place where Princess Nanyang, the eldest daughter of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, became a monk and practiced asceticism. There is a Princess Zhenrong Hall built on the mountain, commonly known as the Princess Temple. Cangyan Mountain is the filming location for the movies "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "The Mummy 3". Xuankong Temple in Xishan, Yunnan

Sanqing Pavilion is located in Luohan Mountain south of Taihua Mountain. Viewed from north to south, the outline of the mountain resembles a big-bellied Maitreya, hence the name Luohan Mountain. The cliffs of Luohan Mountain are connected with the thousands of steep walls of Guabang Mountain in the south. At the foot of the mountain is the vast Dianchi Lake. The nine-storey Sanqing Pavilion and the eleven-storey Xuankong Temple in the Xishan Mountains of Yunnan are Taoist temple complexes stacked on top of cliffs, forming a dangerous "Xuankong Temple". In the Yuan Dynasty, King Liang, who ruled Yunnan, built the "Qianbu Cliff" stone staircase from the foot of Luohan Mountain up the mountain and opened a summer palace on the south cliff of Luohan Mountain. In the past, it was once believed that today's Sanqing Pavilion was the summer palace of the Liang King of Yuan Dynasty. In fact, the Liang King's Summer Palace was located further south on the lower floor of Sanqing Pavilion and Longmen, near the edge of Guabang Mountain. In September 1999, based on Xu Xiake's "Travel to Taihua Mountain" and other historical records, and with the assistance of the Xishan Office, I dug through the weeds and found the ruins of the Luohan Mountain Nan'an Hall and the Liang King's Summer Palace. Hu Ben's "Unofficial History of Nanzhao" records that in April of the 27th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1367), Liang Wang Tiemuer's birthday was not celebrated. The ministers congratulated him and held a banquet at Liang Wang's summer palace on Kunming Lake. There is a poem "The King of Liang Presents a Poem on the Kunming Pond at the Birthday Banquet": The virtuous king will add guests to the banquet, and the palace will be the first to use the huge seaside. The beautiful scenery blooms on a clear day, and the grass on the river is covered with unicorns. The music and songs are warm, and the golden cup of wine is given, and the armor is wide and the jade pendant surrounds the person. Drunk and full, all the officials gathered together to inspect their heads. May the king live a long life.

During the birthday party of King Tiemur of Liang in the 27th year of his reign, the summer palace had already been built with "a huge seafront in front of the palace hall". From this, it can be seen that the summer palace of King Liang was built no later than Tiemu'er Buhua for Liang King period. In the year of the birthday party, Tiemu'er was no longer dead, and the clan succeeded Zaravalmi as King of Liang, changed the Yuan Dynasty to "Xuanguang", named him Zhi, appointed officials and relatives, and resumed the imperial examination. Balzawal is closely related to the last Liang king of Yunnan. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese monk Ji Xian, who was relegated to Yunnan, wrote the poem "The Pavilion of the Prince of Liang": It has been a thousand years since the green chicken flew away, and I heard that the Prince of Liang visited this place in the past. Peach blossoms greet the phoenix chariot at the entrance of the cave, and dragon boats are tied to official willows in front of the cliff. Where are the haters in the green hills? The water flows freely in the day without mercy. Little did he know that the singing and dancing place at that time was a deserted and deserted Qiu with cold smoke. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, Yang Shenzhi's "Dianhai Song" also described Liangwang Pavilion: In the middle of the pavilion of Liangwang Pavilion, there are two crows with five stars. Thirty miles across the Hongqiao, Guanghan Palace is fragrant at night. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, historical records, travel notes, and poems all contained records about the summer palace of King Liang. Xu Xiake's "Travel to Taihua Mountain" in the late Ming Dynasty has a more detailed inspection record: "Go back to Chaotian Bridge and pay a visit to the main hall of Luohan. The cliff behind the hall is a hundred feet high. At the turning point in the south of the cliff, there is a spring at the foot of the cliff. Cold spring. It crosses the spring in the south, that is, turns to the southeast. The upper cliff is more like a belt, and the lower cliff is like a belt, and the cliff is directly connected to the seabed. , Shoufu Hall, Guandi Hall, Zhangxian Temple, and Zhenwu Palace are all connected one after another. Above the Zhenwu Palace, there is a cliff where the king of Liang used to spend the summer. It’s also a small building. Further south, the nunnery is exhausted but the cliffs are endless. The domed walls are covered with clouds, and the cliffs are expanded and merged..." The ruins of Luohan Temple are under the cliff in front of the present Sanqing Pavilion. According to the "Reconstruction of the Stele of Miaoding Temple in Luohan Mountain" by Shi Yu of the Ming Dynasty, the original name of Luohan Temple was "Miaoding Temple". Also known as "Haiya Temple", it was built in the ninth year of Hongzhi in the Ming Dynasty (1496). "The hanging rocks on the cliff look like Arhats, so it was named Arhat Temple after the Dian people." During the Zhengde and Jiajing years of the Ming Dynasty (1506-1566) , forming the Sanqing Pavilion North and South Nunnery complex. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, on the cliff of Nan'an of Luohan Temple, "The inscription on the Golden Horse and Jade Rooster was engraved by Prince Yuan of the Han Dynasty (Wang Bao). It was written in Han style by Faya and was moved by Yang Taishi (Yang Shen)." Until Yang Shen carved the inscription on Wang Bao. At the time of "Ode to the Moving Golden Horse and Jade Rooster", the Buddhist and Taoist scenic spots in the north and south nunneries of Sanqing Pavilion had been formed. The successes of Nan'an in Sanqing Pavilion are still recorded in "Kunming County Chronicles" written by Dai Zhensun during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty. By the time Yuan Jiagu wrote "A Journey to the Western Mountains" during the Republic of China, they had all collapsed: "Have a cup of tea at the Sanqing Pavilion. The pavilion is also a scenic spot in the mountain. In the poem of Wumei Village, 'Amidst the chaos of the Biji Terrace Pavilion, it used to be the summer palace of the King of Liang' , the palace is also a pavilion. It was one of the ruins of Bei'an in the Ming Dynasty. For Nan'an, it is now ruined. "There is an unknown couplet describing the scene in Sanqing Pavilion: half of the wall has dangerous buildings, and the mountains are like screens. The sea is like a mirror, the boats are like leaves, the city walls and villages are picturesque, the weather is windy and full of moonlight at all times, sunny and cloudy at dawn and dusk. I wonder whether tourists from ancient and modern times have experienced the myriad of weather conditions. When the Nine Autumn Festival is at its peak, there are clouds in the caves, springs on the cliffs, and waves in the pines. The flowers and birds in the forest are affectionate, recalling eight years of star frost, running across the river, rarely staying in Chi's hometown, coming to Xiaoao Jinbi Lake and Mountain. To develop historical relics in Xishan, we should restore the famous sites of Liang Wang’s summer palace and form a sacred place with two-story dangerous buildings on the north and south of Luohan Mountain. Xuankong Temple in Xining, Qinghai

Founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is now the second largest Xuankong Temple in my country, also known as Tulou Temple. This is the only way to pass through on the southern route of the Silk Road, so many famous people were left here. The monk's footprints and thousands of years of wind and rain have washed this huge Buddha statue into a beautiful scenery. Historically known as Beichan Temple, it is located in Beishan, Xining City. It is surrounded by mountains and rivers. The well-developed Danxia landform is recessed inward, forming caves of varying sizes. It is known as the "Nine Caves and Eighteen Caves". The sky is high and the plank road corridor connects the palace, pavilions and caves, so that there are holes in the hall and holes inside the holes. There are statues of Buddhist and Taoist gods in the caves. It is called the second hanging temple in China. The existing caves still retain some murals from the Sui and Tang Dynasties to the Yongqing period, which are of high artistic value and were once known as the "Xiping Mogao Grottoes". On the east side of the mountain stands a huge 30-meter-high Buddha statue "Open-air Vajra" called "Inner Buddha" by Buddhists and "Shadow of the Queen Mother of the West" by Taoists. It is majestic and rough; there is a Ningshou Pagoda on the top of the mountain. In the hidden mist, you can see the palace in the mist from afar. The towers disappear and appear, hence the name "Beishan Smoke and Clouds". Beishan Temple has had many names in history. Before the Ming Dynasty, there was a "shrine" on the mountain, so it was called the "Tulu Shrine". In the Ming Dynasty, the temple was named "Yongxing Temple" because it was named "Yongxing Temple" by Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. It has a history of 580 years. Because the floors are stacked one after another and the layers are clear, it looks like an earth building, so it is called "Tulou Mountain". Li Daoyuan, a traveler in the Northern Wei Dynasty, trekked to Xining and climbed Tulou Mountain. His "Shui Jing Zhu" wrote: "The Huangshui flows eastward and passes through the south of the Tulou. There are Tulou above and the mountain is adjacent to the north. The peak is more than 300 feet high. "There is a Taoist nunnery in the earth building, so it is called "Tulou Temple". Beishan is like a young phoenix trying to fly, and Tulou Mountain is like the wings of a young phoenix. Since then, it has been nicknamed "Fengyi Mountain". Although there are many names, Beishan Temple is the name that people are most accustomed to. Its mountain temple is a major scenic spot in Xining. Because of its unique geographical location and unique style, it has become a popular place for people to visit. During the Northern Wei Dynasty, "Shui Jing Zhu" recorded Beishan Temple. The situation map of Qinghai during the Northern Wei Dynasty also indicated that the location of Beishan Temple was in Xiping Pavilion, which is now Xining City. It can be seen that Beishan Temple is quite famous. Beichen Temple is built according to the special Danxia landform shape.

The almost horizontal purple-red sandstone and conglomerate here are interspersed with gypsum and Glauber's salt layers. The lithology is soft and hard. Under the action of water, weathering and other forces during the long-term geological period, the red cliffs, caves, and dangerous peaks are the main features of the red cliffs. The Xia landform is typically developed. The soft rock layers are concave inward, forming caves of varying sizes, which are called "nine caves and eighteen caves" by the locals. Inside the caves are statues of gods and Buddhas such as the Jade Emperor, Avalokitesvara, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Guan Yunchang. The patterns of gods, flowers, landscapes and moons painted on the cave walls are in the artistic style of Chinese and Tibetan Buddhist paintings. It was once known as the "Xiping Mogao Grottoes". The hard rock layer protrudes outward like an eaves, with temples and halls built on it. The halls are suspended high, and the plank corridors connect the temples and pavilions to the caves, so that there are holes in the temples, holes within the caves, Buddhas hidden in the caves, and winding plank roads. The corridor is close to the cliff and even suspended in the air. It can be called a veritable hanging temple. In the fifth year of Emperor Wei Ming's reign, Buddhism became popular in Shanzhou (today's Xining). Believers built niches among the broken rocks of Tulou Mountain, painted caissons, carved ancient walls, built temples and pavilions, and built plank roads. Believers climbed mountains to worship, which was very popular for a while. It has been more than 1,400 years ago. Taoism entered Tulou Mountain in the late Qing Dynasty. Around the fifth year of Emperor Wei Ming's reign, Houliang Lu Guang occupied the Wuwei and Hexi Corridors, and the Northern Silk Road was blocked. Some monks went from Lanzhou to Ledu, Xining, via Beichuan and Daban Mountain to Zhangye, and then went to India. From then on, Buddhism became popular in the Hehuang area. "Ningshou Pagoda" is located at the top of Tulou Mountain. The top of the mountain originally had an archway, Sanguan Hall, Lei Hall, etc. The tower is a six-sided five-story tilted corner tower with a solid center and is made of green bricks. It was built by Geng Bingwen, the Marquis of Changxing in Xining, in the 19th year of Hongwu's reign in the Ming Dynasty. "Lingguan Hall" is located at the foot of the mountain. It was built in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty. It was destroyed by war and rebuilt in 1915. The original mountain gate has wing rooms on the east and west sides, and in the middle of the room there is a horizontal plaque with the three characters "Lingguan Hall" written on it. In the second year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty, people from all walks of life in Xining donated money to renovate the Lingguan Hall. Han Nengjing had two famous disciples: Sheng Cong and Sheng Ming. He was buried on the west side of the Tulou Mountain, and the locals called it "Monk's Tomb". "Open-air Vajra" is located in the middle of Tulou Mountain. The east one is connected to the west one. The two open-air Vajras are more than 30 meters high and are connected to the protruding parts of two cliffs. They look like two gods (also called kings). The local people call them Shanfo. Its meaning flashes out from the mountains. The one on the west has been weathered and collapsed and cannot be recognized; the one on the east is still intact. Originally, the cliffs were eroded by mountains and rivers, wind and rain, forming unique cliffs. Later, during the Wei, Jin and Southern Dynasties, large Buddha statues were artificially carved, which people called "Open-air King Kong". "Beishan Misty Rain" is known as one of the eight scenic spots in Xining. Its origin refers to the scenery of Beishan Temple in the rain and fog. When the sun shines at sunset, the mountains and towers are quite spectacular when viewed from a distance. Especially in the rain, the thin mist and clouds wrap around the mountainside, like a blue and green ink painting. Sometimes the whole mountain is hidden. In the clouds and mist, they appear and disappear, adding to the poetic feeling. The "Nine Caves and Eighteen Caves" are embedded in the steep mountainside, close to the mountains and walls, and are very spectacular. The most eye-catching are the ancient caves. The caves have different structures, some without sets of holes, and some with sets of holes. There are statues of gods, Buddhas, and Taoist gods in the caves, all of which are strange and strange. There are plank roads connecting the caves. Nowadays, canals have been built to divert water and trees have been planted at the foot of Beishan Temple, making it an emerging tourist attraction. [Edit this paragraph] Chaoyang Xuankong Temple in Qixian County, Henan Province

It is located halfway up Chaoyang Mountain, 5 kilometers west of Qixian County, and the temple is close to the mountain. It is built on a cliff, with soaring eaves, looking like a castle in the air, hence the name Hanging Temple. The temple is adjacent to Chaoyang Mountain in the north. Under the sunlight, the green pines, cypresses and exotic flowers and grasses look like colorful phoenixes in the sun, and green dishes hold the sun, so it is called Chaoyang Hanging Temple. According to the records of Qi County Chronicles of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Chaoyang Mountain was originally the Forbidden City of Yin, where King Zhou of Yin set up his palace for heating in winter. The temple was built here in the seventh year of Wu Ding's reign in the Eastern Wei Dynasty. The building is magnificent and magnificent. Behind Chaoyang Mountain is the famous Qingliang Temple. It is shaded by green trees, quiet and cool. It was the place where King Zhou of Yin spent his summers to escape the heat. Pass through the stone arch bridge flying overhead in the west of the nunnery, go through 21 steps, pass through a natural cave, and arrive at Qingliang nunnery. In the 52nd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1713), the Monk Haikuo, the presiding monk, stated in the "Nianzigou Qingliang'an Enzheng License Stele" that the construction of this temple had been approved by the emperor. There is a crystal clear mountain spring on the cliff behind the nunnery. It has been dry for a long time, sweet and refreshing. The clear spring and waterfalls echo in the valley, just like the roar of dragons and tigers. Under the rocks in the mountain stream, the trickle of water makes a tinkling sound, which is beautiful and beautiful. To the west of the arch bridge, there are six grottoes on the cliff surrounding the mountain. There are statues and cliff inscriptions in the caves. There are many scenic spots near Chaoyang Temple and Qingliang Temple for people to visit, such as Thousand Buddha Cave, Jiulong Cypress, Tears Stone, Yinma Spring, Tomb of the Changmian Taoist, Flower Terrace, Shengru Peak, Wangmang Cave, Lotus Wall, and the No. 1 Gate in the World—— Jianshan Gate, Tianshu Cliff, etc., as well as cliff carvings with high value in history, art, and calligraphy, etc. The peaks here have strange shapes, diverse scenery, gurgling water, and fresh air. It is a good place for people to explore, travel, and spend time in summer.

[Edit this paragraph] Daciyan Hanging Temple in Jiande, Zhejiang

Daciyan is located 24 kilometers south of Jiande City. It is a tourist attraction that perfectly combines Buddhist culture with beautiful mountains and waters. It is known as "Little Jiuhua in Western Zhejiang". It is famous for its hanging temple in the south of the Yangtze River, Changgu Stream, and the first natural standing Buddha in the country. According to the county annals, during the Dade period of the Yuan Dynasty, Mo Ziyuan, a native of Lin'an, abandoned his home and came here after a dream, carved a stone into a Buddha, and named it Daci. The mountain is named after Buddha, from which the name Daciyan comes. The cave architecture high on the cliff is a major feature of Daciyan. In Daciyan, the word "hang" is reflected everywhere in temples, plank roads, incense corridors and ropeways.

The main temple, the Ksitigarbha Hall, is half embedded in the rock belly and half suspended in the air. It is quite strange and spectacular. It has the same purpose as the Hanging Temple in Hengshan, Shanxi, so it is called the "Jiangnan Hanging Temple". Guanfo Pavilion After Qingyin Pavilion is Guanfo Pavilion, which is the best place to watch the largest natural Buddha in the country. Viewed from the side, the entire main peak of Daciyan is a standing statue of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. It is 147 meters tall, of which the head is 41.3 meters high and 60 meters wide. It is composed of strange rocks, strange caves, and vegetation that are harmoniously combined to form the Buddha's facial features, which is lifelike and lifelike. After appraisal by tourism experts, it has been named "China's largest natural standing Buddha". Daciyan is also famous all over the world for its rare landscape of "a mountain is a Buddha, and a Buddha is a mountain", and is included in "The Best of China". Yuhua Lake is next to Guanfo Temple. Beautiful mountains and rivers, long valleys and streams are another feature of Daciyan. The slopes of Daciyan Mountain are steep, and the water of Yuhua Lake flows out from the mouth of the valley, twisting and turning to the foot of the mountain, forming a beautiful landscape of more than 800 meters long with mountains and rivers matching each other. The Ksitigarbha Hall is the oldest building and the essence of the scenic spot. It is located in a cave in the neck of the natural Buddha. There is a bronze bell cast in the mid-Ming Dynasty hanging outside the main hall, with a line of sky on the left.
