The temple runs east-west, and consists of a gate, a main hall, a main hall and a north-south wing. It is hidden in pines and cypresses and has a beautiful environment. At the entrance of the temple is the Cuihua Building, and there is a post station in the northeast, named after Kublai Khan, Yuan Shizu, who lived here during his southern expedition. The Cuihua Building was originally built by Kublai Khan following Duan Fu, a descendant of kingdom of dali. Duan Fu once wrote "Poems on the Tower of Cuihua" in Cuihua Building: "From Lanfeng, Wan Cheng, a green snail rose from Brahma Bell; The sun is shining, the flowers are shining and the road scenery is heavy. , Zhu,, Lingling,; Looking at Yuhai, Zhu Qi squandered the Black Dragon. " There are eight scenic spots in Wuwei Temple: According to legend, the Tang Priest passed by here to learn the scriptures, and once basked in the scriptures here, so he had a' sunning slope'; When Kublai Khan was in Dali, he stationed troops nearby and had a' post station' (the emperor could not stop temporarily when he traveled, which was called a post station); In the Ming Dynasty, when the grandson of Zhu Yuanzhang, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, helped to live in Dali, he listened to Confucian classics in Wuwei Temple and wrote the Record of Wuwei Temple, which was engraved on a jade stone tablet. The jade tablet is very high and is the treasure of the town temple. There is a clear spring behind the temple, which is said to be used to hold the bridge, the Cuihua Building, the pavilion old rock and the fir tree in front of the temple. It is over 800 years old. Therefore, some people sum up these eight scenes into a couplet:
When the sun shines high on the slope, the wind knocks on the jade, and the sun is warm, cross the moon bridge and board the station;
The name of the spring saves the epidemic, makes incense fir, loves mountains and green trees, and invites the old pavilion to enter the Chinese building.
The original word "Wuwei Temple" was written by Li Rui, a calligrapher in Linchuan, Jiangxi. The plaque hanging now was inscribed by the famous calligraphy master Ma. During the reign of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, Taihe County ordered Liu Anke, a native of Nanhai, to go to Wuwei Temple, leaving a couplet:
Once the border town was robbed of fire, and the buildings here were all Cui Hua, stationed in the city, fighting for the spread of Yuan Shizu;
The sound of trees and streams is sound, where to find Jade Qing, and remember that King Runa is in vain.
Wuwei Temple has a clear land and a wide field of vision. In addition to the eight scenic spots, there are five old camphor trees, that is, a row of five stone peaks, which are like the barriers of temples. The peaks around the temple embrace each other like Tai Chi figures. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, Duan Baoji, the daughter of Duan Gong, the general manager of Dali Kingdom, lived in seclusion in Lanyuan, next to Wuwei Temple, which was even more legendary. Duan Baoji, also known as Qiang Na or Monk Na and Monk Slave. In the 26th year of Yuan Dynasty, after his father Duan Gong was poisoned by peacock gall, Duan Baodi was bent on revenge for his father, and took the initiative to marry Ali, the leader of Jianchang (now Xichang) in Sichuan, in order to borrow soldiers to take revenge, but Ali was addicted to alcohol and had no intention of helping Baodi to take revenge. Baoji saw that revenge was hopeless, and his relationship with Ali broke down and he was disheartened. After the reunification of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, pardoned Dali. Baoji was both sad and happy when he heard the news. Finally, with the help of friends such as Dali Celebrity Road, she returned to Dali with her daughter. After experiencing the blow of national destruction and the separation of husband and wife, Baoji has already seen through the world of mortals and resolutely converted to Buddhism. And with the support of friends, a Orchid Garden was built next to Wuwei Temple, named "Long Yuan Temple", which was full of exotic flowers and herbs to cultivate one's morality. According to legend, there were thousands of orchids in the Orchid Garden at that time. The pots were elegant and refined, and the fragrance was overflowing. She also calls herself a "Shi Lan layman", and often sings poetry, plays chess, paints calligraphy and paintings with Dali monks and scholars such as the abbot of Wuwei Temple and the infinite masters of Dangshan Temple, such as Yang, Zhang and Yang Nai, and makes friends with literature. Later, she also compiled the first book describing orchids in Dali history-The Record of Traveling in the South, which was once a much-told story.
1985 was announced by Dali as a municipal cultural relics protection unit. Due to its long history and serious damage to cultural relics, Dali Cultural Bureau recently carried out protective maintenance on the temple. In accordance with the principle of "repairing the old as before", "maintaining the status quo and restoring to the original state", the first phase of the protection and maintenance project of Wuwei Temple has invested 590,000 yuan, and completed the protection and maintenance of Zhaobi, Bihe Pool, Moon Bridge and Shanmen. At present, the second and third protection and maintenance schemes have been demonstrated by relevant experts. The second-phase protection and maintenance plan will invest 800,000 yuan to repair the main cultural relic Wuwei Hall, including the main hall, the hatchback, the Cuihua Building and the temple gate. The Municipal Bureau of Culture plans to gradually and comprehensively restore the eight scenic spots in Wuwei and turn Wuwei Temple into a cultural tourist attraction with both Buddhist cultural characteristics and Dali ethnic characteristics. Now Wuwei Temple is presided over by the Zen master.
