There are 500 arhats in the temples in Wuhan. Many pilgrims come here to grab the first incense. Do you want to catch it?

Perhaps you don't know that praying at Guiyuan Temple is a daily custom of many Wuhan citizens. Every year on the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, hundreds of thousands of pilgrims come here to grab the first incense and make a pilgrimage. The most distinctive feature of Guiyuan Buddhist Temple is the five hundred gold arhats in Luohantang. These sculptures are also very realistic, and many men and women can count them.

Guiyuan Temple Road, Hanyang District, Wuhan belongs to Cao Dongzong, one of the seven schools of Zen, so it is called Guiyuan Temple and Guiyuan Temple. What about Han Xi? The main attractions are the Sutra Pavilion, the Ursa Major Hall and the Five Hundred Arhats. Incense is flourishing here. If we catch up with important Buddhist festivals such as the first day and the fifteenth day, it will be a sea of people. It is a custom of Wuhan people to worship the god of wealth on the fifth day of the fifth day, and queues often appear in the middle of the night.

Tickets were still relatively cheap, so I bought them and went straight in. From the south gate, there is a release pond, and there is a main hall in front of the release pond, hanging high? Guiyuan Ancient Temple? Four big characters, the outside of the Hall of Ursa Major in the back is being repaired. The courtyard on the right side of the release pond is the Sutra Pavilion, and there is also a Shilin Pavilion next to it, which was built in the Republic of China.

The release pool of Guiyuan Temple is really a magical place. When I first entered the yard, I was still wondering why so many people were looking at the carved lotus flowers in the pond. When I took a closer look, my god, I was shocked! Originally, I thought that some decorative sculptures were carved on the lotus, but it turned out to be real turtles. According to the explanation, many people used to like to release Brazilian turtles here, but because Brazilian turtles eat meat and fish in the pond, this is killing. Is this against it? Release pool? The initial intention of releasing, so it is not allowed to release now.

The main building of the North Courtyard is the Tibetan Scripture Building, which contains many Buddhist cultural relics, besides Tibetan Scripture, there are also Buddha statues, utensils, stone carvings, calligraphy and painting inscriptions and foreign classics. It is a Buddhist temple with a large collection of Buddha statues in China. The main building of the South Campus is Luohan Hall. What is the layout of Luohantang? Tian? Font, although there are more than 500 statues in the temple, there is no sense of crowding. This architectural model is both ingenious and reasonable.

A courtyard on the left side of the release pond is Luohan Hall, which is a major attraction of Guiyuan Temple. Luohan Hall was built in Daoguang period and rebuilt in Guangxu period after the demise of Tian Ping Kingdom. All the 500 arhats are golden bodies, with different shapes and lifelike. Enter the Lohan Pavilion, start with any Lohan and count your actual age in turn. The identity, expression and action of this arhat all indicate your fate. I don't know if you believe it, but I do, haha!

Generally, there are volunteers to give free explanations, which is particularly good. You can hear a lot of things with volunteers. If it doesn't conform to the explanation, there are several ways at the entrance of Luohantang. Just follow your heart. It is said that everyone's data is different, and it is not clear how many people there are. You can count them if you are free. In addition, the most suitable place to take photos and punch in is the entrance of the scenic spot.

It is said that Guiyuan Temple is still very smart. One day a friend went astray. At that time, he made a wish to have a girlfriend. As a result, a girl fell asleep on his shoulder on the bus that came back. He was shocked at that time, and a week later he got a girlfriend. Later, he did not make a wish. The result is also a tragedy. He and she were just a beautiful accident.

Out of Luohantang, behind is the outer court of the temple. In the distance, a huge double-sided Guanyin statue stands in the wide outer court, next to a 60-meter-high attic. The paint on the walls of Guiyuan Temple seems to be a different color every time. Judging from the pictures on the internet, it was white a few years ago, but now it has been painted yellow. Guiyuan Temple seems to have some features of Huizhou architecture, which is unique to Jingchu.
