the black dragon temple is located in wohushan, qikou town, at the entrance to the Qinshui river at the southern end of linxian county, Shanxi province. It is a key cultural relic protection unit in Shanxi Province. According to the records of the addition of the Bell and Drum Monument in the 21st year of Qing Qianlong (1756), the temple was founded in the Ming Dynasty. During the Yongzheng period, Yuelou was added. During the reign of Daoguang, the main hall and the East-West Ear Hall were rebuilt. The scale of the temple is magnificent and obvious.
The Black Dragon Temple is located in the northeast and southwest, surrounded by mountains and waters. On the central axis, the first is the mountain gate, which consists of three stone arch holes. In front of the door is a three-room door. There is also a Xieshanding gatehouse built on the gatehouse, and the two-story building is supported by eight large wooden pillars. Next to the gatehouse, an inverted music building (stage) was built. The front and rear buildings are integrated. Le Lou is the top of Europe, with glazed tiles trimmed, which is very beautiful and generous. Around the music building is the bell and drum tower with a cross-resting top, which is small in scale, but small and exquisite and unique in style.
The main hall is three rooms wide and two rooms deep. It is on the top of a hard hill, where the King Black Dragon is housed. The left and right ear halls are dedicated to Hebo and the God of Wealth respectively, while the other warehouse officials, golden dragons and temple children are in their proper places. In addition, there are 22 east-west halls, stands and corridors.
The Black Dragon Temple has been renovated for more than 3 years, making the whole building rigorous and reasonable, symmetrical and spectacular. Looking up at the danger of the temple overlapping on the cliff, carving beams and painting buildings, simple and elegant, all make people pleasing to the eye. Leaning against the temple gallery and looking around, I saw the Yellow River surging, the batch of water gurgling, and the ancient town of Qikou had a panoramic view. This mountain, water, town and temple set each other off in the valley of the Yellow River, so the two provinces are famous far and near. The acoustic effect of Lok Lou is even more peculiar. Without public address equipment, ten thousand people go to the theatre, and the sound is crisp and even resounds for miles. Therefore, it is said that "Tao Huang * * * sings, and the water sings". Therefore, during the ancient Dragon Festival, people in two provinces and four townships are not afraid of steep mountain roads, and tourists come in an endless stream.
There are 4 stone tablets in the temple, among which the stone tablet of Daoguang Guimao rebuilt the Black Dragon Temple was written by Wang Jixian, the year of Yongning. There are two stone couplets embedded in the mountain gate, which are called "A great article on the sound of rivers and beautiful colors", and they are written by Cui Bingwen, a county native, in Daoguang Guimao Zhongchun. Another pair, "Mountains and rivers are surrounded by humanities, and the wind and rain are sweet and harmonious", wrote a book for Wang Jixian, the year of Yongning Prefecture. Wang Jixian is not only elegant in literary style, but also has profound calligraphy attainments, and is famous as the capital. When Korea sent messengers to ask for the word "bodybuilding mausoleum smoke", Wang Yiran wrote a book, and the messengers returned with satisfaction. The Qing emperor rewarded him with 4,2 pieces of silver, and people praised "a word is worth a thousand dollars".
In p>1988 and 199, the Black Dragon Temple was renovated twice with the support of the Provincial Cultural Relics Bureau and fund-raising by the masses, which was well protected.
