Is Hongjiang Temple Buddhism or Taoism?

Hongjiang Temple is located halfway up Niuxin Mountain in the south of Dakou Township, yanshi city. Original buildings, such as Tianmen, Bell and Drum Tower, guanyin temple, etc. , unfortunately collapsed. The remaining stone archways are exquisitely carved, including kissing animals, stone lions and embossed patterns. The couplet is "The bamboo path is deep and bright, the sunshine is three thousand worlds, and the lotus platform is clean and auspicious, covering four continents."

Hongjiang Temple in Yanshi is in Niuxinshan. Speaking of mountains, there is also a pillar on the top of the mountain, engraved with "Hongjiang Temple"; When it comes to the foot of Niuxin Mountain, according to the old man's memory, there was a building under the mountain during the Republic of China. Seen from the whole mountain building, it should be regarded as a Buddhist holy land.

According to legend, when the ancestor visited this place, he saw the beautiful scenery and flowers, so he wanted to practice here and temporarily put his sword underground to show his occupation.

Later, people from Cihang Island swam here and saw roaring tigers, singing apes and flying cranes. It was a good place to meditate. I saw my father's sword stuck in the ground again, so naturally it was not good to pester me again, but I didn't want to leave. I frowned, pulled out my sword, took off an embroidered shoe, buried it in the ground, and tied the sword on the embroidered shoe.

When distinguishing the ancestors and people of Cihang Island, they held their own views.

The founder said, "I have a sword to prove it."

The man in Ci Channel said, "Pull out your sword and have a look."

The ancestor drew his sword and found it inserted in embroidered shoes. Naturally, he had nothing to say and set off for Wudang Mountain.

Since then, it has become a Buddhist holy land. The whole building on Niuxin Mountain was originally built of stone, and the walls and windows were carved with blue stone. Cross the first Tianmen and climb the second Tianmen, that is, enter the ancient buildings connected by the main hall. Steep steps, facing the cliff while leaning against the mountain. It's chilling to look up at the top of the ridge and see the deep valley. On the first platform, the bluestone fence is guarded, with clear patterns and smooth lines. Stone lions are waiting on both sides, echoing each other. Looking from a distance, it is magnificent, as if the mane is shaking, the eyes are rolling, the shape is exquisite, the knife method is skillful, the proportion is harmonious, the charm is revealed and vivid.

In addition, Wei Tuo Temple, with an all-stone structure, is exquisitely carved, compact and beautiful, with 24 ridges and a faucet. When it rains, water gushes out from Longkou and splashes down, flashing like silver and jewels. It's really beautiful.

The stone workshop is fierce and wants to fly, towering. Built in the twenty-seventh year of Qianlong, it has three rooms and four columns. Single-door model, 6. 1 m high, 5.20 m wide, with a distance of 2 m on both sides, is a bluestone tenon, with three flower ridges, four kissing animals, 46 relief patterns and 22 bucket arches. The roof of the square is a resting mound structure.

Although it has gone through many vicissitudes, it still stands, especially four iron horses (Zhong Duo). The breeze blew and the clear sound spread throughout the valley. The voice is muddy and hoarse, low and dignified, indicating that rain is coming; The sound is crisp and loud, and the intensity is high, which indicates that the weather is fine. People say "Shifang Bell" is a weather station.

_ On the front of the stone square, the regular script reads "Wide Economy is Boundless". Lu Qin's handwriting. The front column is engraved with the words: "The bamboo path is deep and bright, and the sunshine is three thousand worlds; Liantai is clean and auspicious, covering four continents. "On the back, the banner of" Nanhai Cihang "is engraved, and the couplet reads:" Dragon dancing on the lotus; Baojian eats blue ocean belly drink. "This stone workshop is the only well-preserved stone workshop in our city. Another stone workshop, Ding Can, is in Nanjia village.

Climbing up the steps again, it is the Cihang Hall, the architectural center of Niuxinshan. Cihang people are kind and amiable, attracting countless good men and women. What is even more ingenious is that the bull heart stone is placed under the altar, that is, the main hall is built around the bull heart stone. All worshippers take touching the ox heart stone as the first step, thinking that touching it can eliminate disasters and get sick. Touching the bull's heart stone is a kneeling posture.

The change pavilion, on the last side, respects the buddhas, which shows that he can change.

Standing behind the pavilion, overlooking Nanshan, the momentum is growing, and the highest point is "Fengmen Mountain". There is a winding path here, flanked by Wan Ren Mountain Stream, and pedestrians are "too busy to have a rest".

Although the mountain is windy, it is not a "closed mountain". According to the records of Henan Province, famous tea was produced here in the Song Dynasty and was listed as a tribute. In order to prevent passers-by from picking, the mountain road is cut off every tea time and closed on the same day, so it is closed on the same day.

On the prominent hill of the path, there is a "drunken pavilion". The name is poetic. Not drinking is enough to make people drunk.

Every sunny night, about three or five friends are carrying a pot of strong wine. At this time, either lying under the pavilion or looking at the fence, I can only see a vast, hazy, "Xiaoyan, the moon rises on the East Mountain, wandering in the bullfight room." Xu Lai is a cool breeze, with towering peaks and shadows, alternating lightness and blurred distance. Look at the moon, as round as a mirror, as clean as ice, as bright as silver and as soft as water. This scene is so comfortable and carefree that all the troubles are gone. Till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon, like a legacy of Taibai; Have a good drink, like Brewmaster and Liu Ling. "Drunk pavilion enjoying the moon" is a kind of enjoyment admired by people in this area.
