What are the tourist attractions in Fotang Ancient Town, Yiwu?

1, ancient buildings

Buddhist temple is a complete ancient residential town and a sculpture art museum. There are a large number of Buddhist temples in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, among which Peide Hall, Wu Maoji, Liu Xuan Primary School, Maojia Courtyard, Zhihuaitang, Yuan Pan and Maode Hall are well preserved. They have white walls and black tiles, are solemn and elegant, and have a unique structure, which is in the same strain as the old streets of Buddhist temples. The exquisite stone carvings, brick carvings, wood carvings and exquisite frescoes in these buildings fully embody the characteristics of "architecture, painting and sculpture" in China.

2. pontoons and docks

When it comes to the glory of the ancient town of Fotang, we can't help but mention Wanshan Bridge. Ancient poets praised the Wanshan Bridge in Buddhist Temple: the bridge floats in the sky, and the roads on both sides of the strait are self-connected. Loose ships passed through the waters of the area, and Chihiro iron rope was locked in the river. Wanshan Bridge, built in the early years of Qing Qianlong, is a pontoon bridge, lying across the Yiwu River, and pedestrians are like a shuttle. After the completion of the pontoon bridge, the pontoon bridge head also became a wharf. Later, "Dog Market Wharf" and "Pig Market Wharf" were successively built 10. These docks have different shapes and clear division of labor.

3. Shuanglin Temple

Shuanglin Temple was built in the first year of Nanliang (520). It was founded by Master Fu and built by Liang Wudi. Hundreds of emperors and ministers of Chen Sui Dynasty protected Shuanglin Temple, and two emperors, Wen and Yang, wrote letters of condolence. And because of the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, Master Fu, the founder of Sara, has produced many eminent monks from generation to generation, and the culture has spread to Japan, South Korea and Japan.

4. Huang Yunshan

Huang Yun is also known as Songshan and Tashan. Legend has it that the founder of Dharma came to China to preach, passed by Yiwu, looked south, and saw a group of Huang Yun wandering over Songshan Mountain, filled with the spirit of Buddhism, so he made a special trip to check it out. It coincides with the flooding of Yiwu River, and the people are miserable. After Dharma saved the affected people, he went straight to Songshan. In front of Buddhism, Songshan Mountain is indeed covered with mountains and peaks, clouds and clouds, and Buddha's light shines everywhere. Later, Songshan was renamed "Yunhuang Mountain".

5. Du Qing Temple

Du Qing Temple is the most legendary place among Buddhist temples. According to legend, 1400 years ago, Dharma Dong, a monk from Tianzhu, came to preach, and when he went to Yiwu River, it coincided with the flooding of Yiwu River. In order to save the people trapped by the flood, he threw himself into the river, crossed the river by boat, and enlightened Fu Ming to become a Buddha. Later generations built the Du Qing Temple in Touqing to commemorate the crossing of the Dharma River for people to worship. Because there are couplets in the temple, the Buddhist temple is named after it. Du Qing Temple has been repaired and rebuilt several times, and it is still well preserved. The ancient temple is small in scale, but it carries the deep feelings that Buddhist people can't give up.
