Historical evolution of Qinglong Bay in Ningguo

Under the leadership of the Communist Party of China, "sparks" are usually ignited in the mountains and ridges on the edge of several counties or provinces, and the base points and base areas of the revolution are also established and expanded from these places. Come.

In Ningguo, a land with a glorious history of revolutionary struggle, there are many such basic points and base areas. The following are only two of them in the Qinglong Bay tourist area, and they are worth thousands. The site of the Ningxuan County Party Committee in Jingjing, China is located in the Huang Family House, Banqiao Village, Fangtang Township. Banqiao Village is located in a dangerous terrain with high mountains and dense forests, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Since the early 1930s, Chinese Communist Party organizations have carried out activities here.

In 1943, Lu Hui's guerrillas began to open up the Jingjing Ningxuan base area with Banqiao as the center, and established the grassroots organization of the Communist Party of China here. By the victory of the Anti-Japanese War and the early stage of the Liberation War, the troops led by Lu Hui had built Banqiao into a relatively stable guerrilla base. The Huang Family Mansion has always been Lu Hui's main residence in Banqiao. During the War of Liberation, the main person in charge of the Southern Anhui Prefectural Committee and the leaders of the Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui Border Region Headquarters also stayed in the Huang Family Mansion.

In September 1947, after the Jingjing Ningxuan County Committee of the Communist Party of China was established, Lu Hui served as deputy secretary, and the Huang family house became the residence of the county committee.

The former site of the Anhui-Zhejiang Central County Party Committee is located in the Anzhuwu Village Group of Zhuchuan Village, Hule Town. Anzhuwu is a high-mountain natural village located at the junction of three counties in Jining and Chang. It has nearly 30 households. The villagers' houses are Hui-style buildings. The roads in the village are paved with bluestones. The overall construction is well-proportioned. The entire village covers an area of ??nearly 100,000 square meters.

During the Anti-Japanese War and the War of Liberation, the guerrillas led by Wang Chengxin, secretary of the Ningchang Working Committee of the Communist Party of China, had been operating in this area for a long time.

In April 1947, according to the decision of the enlarged meeting of the Central Anhui and Zhejiang Prefectural Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, the Central Anhui and Zhejiang County Committee of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China was established in Anzhuwu, with Tang Hui as secretary.

At the same time, two subordinate working committees, Ludong and Luxi, were established. Wang Cheng trusted the Secretary of the Ludong Working Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and was also the secretary of the Ningchang Working Committee of the Chinese Communist Party. The spread of Buddhism in Ningguo has a long history, and wherever there is Buddhism, there are temples. The earliest temple architecture in Ningguo can be traced back to the Three Kingdoms period. Sun Quan once "erected a temple in Jiangdong and built a temple in Fangshan", which is almost synchronized with the history of Ningguo's establishment of a county in Soochow. According to the "Ningguo County Chronicle" records: From the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Buddhist activities in Ningguo gradually flourished. By the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, the number of temples and nunneries in the county reached more than 300, which was its heyday;

After that, the temples and nunneries Devastated by war, there were still 184 temples and nunneries in the early days of liberation. By the end of 1955, there were only 72 temples and nunneries in the county. Among them, there are about ten temples and nunneries in the Qinglong Bay tourist area. It can be seen that for a long historical period in Ningguo City, cigarette smoke was everywhere and the sound of bells and chimes could be heard everywhere.

Tiewa Temple: Tiewa Temple, also known as Baiyun Temple, is located 70 kilometers west of the county, at the southern foot of the top of Gaofeng Mountain in Qinglong Bay Ecological Tourism Resort. It was first built in the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (AD 629). Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, granted the temple "Baiyun Temple". It was rebuilt during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty and was built with iron tiles to make it permanent. It is commonly known as the "Iron Wax Temple". It was destroyed by military disaster in the 33rd year of the Republic of China (1944). It is 10 miles from the foot of the mountain to the temple. Along the way, there are ancient trees and mottled sun shadows; winding creeks, jumping beads and splashing jade; birds chirping, mountain flowers blooming; the gentle breeze blows, and the pines sing softly. Arriving at the gate of the temple, there is an ancient pine tree with green bark and Qiu branches, about the size of four or five people hugging each other. It is old but still full of vitality and floating in the sky. According to legend, this tree was planted by the founder of the mountain and has withstood more than 1,200 years of wind and rain. The place is rich in tea, which is of high quality and fragrant. The "Crow Tea" is the most famous, and was used as a tribute from the Tang, Song and Qing Dynasties.

In 1994, believers and local people in Nanjing, Xuanzhou and other places rebuilt it again. Every year during major Buddhist festivals, pilgrims and tourists continue to visit, and the night lights are kept on all the way to the temple. In 1999, the city government approved it as an open temple with one monk.

In 1998, Nanyue Temple in Yixing presided over the construction of the Main Hall in the lower courtyard of the "Iron Wa Temple" with the Jade Buddha and funds.

In March 2009, the series of construction projects of the lower courtyard of the "Iron Wa Temple" started and continued. By the end of 2013, the lower courtyard of the "Iron Wa Temple" had completed the five main buildings including the Mountain Gate, the Heavenly King's Hall, the Medicine Master's Hall, the Maitreya Hall, and the Amitabha Buddha Hall. With a main hall and surrounding warehouses, guest rooms, kitchens, bathrooms and other group buildings, the total construction area reaches 1,200 square meters. A Buddhist temple with a solemn layout has begun to take shape. The vicissitudes of time and the rise and fall of thousand-year-old temples also reflect from one side the inheritance and development of Buddhist culture in Ningguo.

Huiyun Temple: Huiyun Temple is also known as Dongshan Temple. It was built during the Taihe period of Tang Dynasty and was originally located in Luxi Village, 60 miles east of the county. The eminent monk Zong Gao of the Southern Song Dynasty became a monk in this temple when he was 13 years old. Later, the temple was destroyed. It is said that the master made a wish when he left the temple: when the cypress trees in front of the temple are swept away, the iron trees behind the temple bloom, the maple trees on the side of the temple build bridges, and the oak trees hold umbrellas, it will be the time to rebuild.

In order to fulfill the wish of the eminent monk, in February 2001, at the request of believers and in conjunction with the development of the Qinglong Bay Reservoir, the municipal government approved in accordance with the law, the Huiyun Temple was moved to Xiuyun Island in the Qinglong Bay Reservoir. The rebuilt Huiyun Temple covers an area of ??127.5 acres and has a construction area of ??approximately 4,500 square meters.

The layout of the temple is as follows: along the central axis of the mountain, followed by the mountain gate, the Tianwang Hall, the Five Directions Wenzhu Hall, the Daxiong Hall, and the Sutra Library on both sides of the Bell Tower, Drum Tower, Guanyin Hall, Ksitigarbha Hall, Pharmacist Hall, Patriarch Hall, and Master Zonggao Buildings such as the memorial hall, Dharma hall, and meditation hall, as well as warehouses, kitchens, guest rooms, bathrooms, etc. are scattered around, forming a unique pattern. Legend has it that there is a couplet in the main hall of Huiyun Ancient Temple: "There are lotus flowers under the seat. The flowers have faded and the flowers have bloomed, and you can see the world of flowers. The world is like a big dream, dreaming of life and death, but in the end the dream is empty." There are currently 7 monks.

The temple’s bells in the morning and drums in the evening, as well as the Buddha’s light and Zen style, promote the rich Buddhist culture. It is also a quiet place for Buddhist believers to pay homage and study, which is fascinating.

Xianggai Temple: Xianggai Temple is an ancient temple. Its ruins are located in the original Hualinfan Natural Village of Jialu Town. It was built around the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty and has a history of 1,200 years.

The "Ningguo County Chronicle" of the Republic of China records: Xianggai Temple, eighty miles west of the county, was built in the Tang Dynasty and was first awarded by Chunxi of the Song Dynasty. It is said that Xianggai Temple has a large scale of construction, covering an area of ??15 acres. It contains the Main Hall, Luohan Hall, Guanyin Hall, Yuhuang Pavilion, Sutra Pavilion, Bell and Drum Tower, and more than 60 dormitories and courtyards. At its peak, there were more than 100 monks.

It is said that there are two treasures in Xianggai Temple. One is a large bell that flew from Leiyin Temple in Hangzhou, which is as tall as a person, and is placed in the Bell and Drum Tower; the other is a large stone incense burner in front of the Main Hall, with nine lifelike blue dragons engraved around the body of the furnace. . One of the "Ten Talents of the Dali Dynasty" in the Tang Dynasty, the famous poet Han Hong, once visited here because of its reputation, and left a poem on the wall of Xianggai Temple:

When Aiyuan ascends to the top of the world, his eyes open; Go to the sutra platform at Lianxiao Temple. Who knows the mountains and rivers are stung by dragons and snakes? Heaven and earth will welcome the wind and rain. The willow trees are growing old in the cold autumn, and the wild geese are waving their solitary wings in the dusk sky. Who would get involved and be urged by the setting sun with the remaining flowers?

It was around the middle of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty that the famous light-red porcelain painter Zhou Ding (also known as Xiaosong) also left a good memory of Xianggai Temple. There is this description in the book: The sun shines in the west by the Bishui Bridge, and the smoke outside Cuifeng Nunnery is foggy in the evening. The mountain monk saw me off and went home, just like when I passed the Tiger River.
