Nanshan Temple Guideline 2 starts from the central area of Taihuai, goes south along the highway to Yangbaiyu Village, turns west across Qingshui River, and then walks for hundreds of meters, then reaches the foot of the mountain where Nanshan Temple is located. Nanshan Temple is built on the mountain, with an altitude of 1700 meters and an area of more than 90 mu. There are more than 300 halls, buildings and kiln sites. Nanshan Temple consists of seven floors and three parts. The lower three floors are called Gokurakuji, the upper three floors are called Youguo Temple, and the middle floor is called Shande Hall. Nanshan Temple is their collective name. The temple was founded in the Yuan Dynasty, which is evidenced by the existing stone tablets erected in the temple in August from the Yuan Dynasty to the fifth year of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1268). At that time, it was called "Dawan Shengyouguo Temple". In the ninth year of Guangxu reign, it was rebuilt and named Blissful Residence. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a Taoist priest named Puji who converted to Buddhism and was the abbot of the temple. He was closely related to the Qing government. Empress Dowager Cixi personally wrote "Really as at home" on a wooden tablet, and Puji also carved his words on a stone to offer sacrifices. In the early years of the Republic of China, Gokurakuji, Youguo Temple and Shande Temple were jointly built by Puji monks with donations from believers in Northeast China, which were called Nanshan Temple. After Puji's death, the construction of the temple did not stop, and the construction project was huge and spectacular. After 23 years of continuous construction, it was not completed because of the "July 7 Incident". After large-scale construction, Nanshan Temple has a unique architectural style, mostly composed of bluestone and white marble, and the stone carving content has three colors of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism.
Describing Epang Palace in Du Mu's Fu on Epang Palace, he said: "Five steps to the first floor, ten steps to a pavilion. The porch bends back, with high eaves and teeth, each holding its own terrain and intrigue. " Nanshan Temple in Wutai Mountain has the same momentum and charm. Stepping into the temple, winding paths lead to secluded places, pavilions and pavilions are overwhelming. There are many stone carvings and couplets in the depths of the tunnel and at the head of the courtyard, especially in various buildings. The theme is diverse and the content is complex. Wandering among them, there is a feeling of changing scenery and colorful. In temples, it is rare to see such a large-scale and elaborate group building.

It is completely made of stone, with brick walls, brick carvings on the eaves of the top wall, white marble embedded in the wall, and inscriptions and couplets engraved on it. The stone couplet on the left is: a dream in a weathered god, lost in heaven. The inscription on the right side of the couplet reads: "The heart of the Tao is round, and tomorrow is really sunny." . The circular stone surface in the middle is also engraved with the same handwriting. To enter the temple from the screen wall, climb the 108 stone steps first. On the platform at the end of the steps, there stand two tall stone buildings, with a length of12.8m, a width of1.6m and a height of about 9m. There are three doorways under the signboard, which are divided into three layers, and each layer shrinks inward. The middle floor is the highest, and four floors are symmetrically arranged on both sides. On the stone face of Zhongmen Cave is engraved "Song Tao turns to the clouds, and Wan Li mountains and rivers soar". The inside and outside of the two side doors are engraved with couplets. There are also many stone carvings and couplets on the back of the archway.

On the arch ticket and door frame of the next doorway, there is a picture of "Eight-hole Immortal" with couplets engraved on the side. On both sides of the doorway on the back of the bell tower, there are two small doorways, with 28 steps built in, leading directly upstairs. There is a stone fence around the upstairs, and all kinds of flowers and trees are engraved on the fence. It is very simple to outline and show the charm, which shows the skillful use of saber. The tall buildings are painted with gold, colorful and gorgeous. The bell tower of Nanshan Temple is characterized by the combination of stone and wood structure, stone carving figures, flowers and inscriptions, and stone carving and painting. Visitors can go through the doorway and climb the 28-step dark stone steps in the small doorway, and then they can rely on the railing for sightseeing.

In the center of the hall are clay sculptures of Sakyamuni Buddha, Ananda and Ye Jia, and in the front center is a stone sculpture of Manjusri riding a lion. On the left is a Guanyin stone statue. Guanyin Bodhisattva lovingly put the child on her lap and held the child's little hand in one hand. Behind Guanyin Bodhisattva, a concave stone was rolled up to show the appearance of a cave. This statue is very realistic. On the right is Pu Xian, a woodcarving bodhisattva. Bodhisattva's outstretched eighteen arms made various gestures and stepped on a lotus flower. There were two baby elephants around her eyes, which looked like flying. The clay sculptures of eighteen arhats on both sides of the Hall are second to none among all similar statues in the Hall of Ursa Major in Wutai Mountain. Lohan's personality is distinct, some are as evil as hatred, some are poised and some have fine eyes. Some are old and lifelike. There are murals on the inner wall of the gable on which the eighteen arhats depend.

Nanshan Temple Tour Guide 4 Hello everyone! Welcome to Zhangzhou for sightseeing. The scenic spot I will explain to your tour guide today is Nanshan Temple.
Nanshan Temple, located at the foot of Danxia Mountain on the bank of Jiulong River, is a famous Buddhist temple at home and abroad. Nanshan Temple was built in the Kaiyuan period of the Tang Dynasty, with a history of 1200 years. The existing buildings were rebuilt in the late Qing Dynasty.
According to the records of Zhangzhou County Records and historical legends, Nanshan Temple was originally the residence of Chen Yong, a teacher in the Tang Dynasty. Because the scale of the house was too large and the form was like a palace, which exceeded the feudal level at that time. He was secretly accused of trespassing. A catastrophe is about to befall Chen Yong. Chen Yong is very helpless. His daughter, Chen Jinhua, used her quick wits to persuade her father to offer a house as a temple and cut her own hair, so that Chen Yong's family could avoid disaster.
The word "Nanshan Temple" was written by Huang Daozhou, a great scholar in the Ming Dynasty.
[Temple of the King] This temple is the temple of the king. The Buddha sitting in the middle is Maitreya. Look, he is smiling at us. On both sides are the four heavenly kings. The Buddha behind Maitreya is Wei Tuo, one of the patrons of Buddhism, also known as General Wei Tuo. It is said that when a monk enters a temple, he must first go to Wei Tuo to see the "pestle" posture in his hand, and then decide whether to live permanently or just for a short time.
[Ursa Major] Ok, let's visit Ursa Major now. This temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. After many repairs, it is tall and majestic, and the weather is magnificent. The golden statue in the middle is Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism. The one on the left is the Amitabha Buddha in the west, and the one on the right is like the pharmacist Buddha in the east. His eyes are raised, his chin is pointed, his shoulders are narrow, his body is partially exposed, and he is all dressed in Hanfu. This is the characteristic of sculpture art in Song Dynasty. The Three Buddhas staggered cross-legged, as if in meditation, as if in solemnity. Standing on both sides are the patron saint Ali and the venerable Kaya.
The huge bronze bell on the right side of the temple is one of the precious cultural relics of Nanshan Temple. Its caliber is1.15m, its height is1.84m, and its weight is1300kg. This clock was originally cast in the Tang Dynasty, but it was later corroded. During the Yanshou period of the Yuan Dynasty, the scale of Nanshan Temple expanded and incense flourished. The abbot monk is determined to recast a big clock. The monks of the whole temple were dispatched separately and raised in all directions. A lonely old lady without money donated her only bronze hairpin; A beggar living in the street only donated two copper coins to show his kindness. But the monk who raised the money thought it was just a trivial matter and threw the bronze hairpin and copper coins into the corner of the temple casually. Strange to say, when casting a copper bell, there are always two holes and a gap in the bell. Later, I voted several times, but I still couldn't fill it out. The master of the temple was at a loss, so he had to lead the monks to recite scriptures and worship Buddha and ask the Buddha for advice.
At that time, the abbot dreamed that Wei Tuo said to him, "The clock is incomplete, and there are two dollars left. The crack is difficult to close, but a hairpin is really gone. " . When the abbot woke up, he asked the monks, "Whoever comes back begging for food will pay one hairpin and two pence less." At this time, the monk suddenly realized: "I thought those things were too small, so I threw them in the corner." Hearing this, the abbot said, "You are a monk, and you can't get rid of your snobbery. The rich give a few taels of silver, which is only a part of their wealth, but an old woman's bronze hairpin is her only treasure, and a beggar's taels are all his possessions. How can we underestimate the weight of this bronze hairpin and two pence? You should understand Zen from now on and treat people equally. "
The abbot asked someone to find a copper hairpin and two copper coins and put them in the furnace seriously, just to fill the hole and gap. Today, this bronze bell is engraved with the inscription of Grain Rain, the presiding monk of the Yuan Dynasty, and it also leaves traces of copper hairpin and copper coin, which has become a much-told story for temple monks to promote the equality of all beings. If you are interested, you might as well look for it.
[Buddhist Sutra Hall] This hall is called Buddhist Sutra Hall, also called Jade Buddha Hall. The jade Buddha enshrined in the temple is carved from a whole piece of pure white marble. It is 2 meters high and weighs 4000 Jin. It is pure as jade, glittering and translucent and lubricated. This jade Buddha was collected by abbot Miaolian from overseas Chinese in Myanmar in the 30th year of Guangxu (AD 1904). At that time, a * * * imported three jade buddhas, one of which was in Beijing Tuancheng; A Jade Buddha Temple in Shanghai, Nanshan Temple is the largest, so it is very precious. You can see that the Buddha's face is quiet and serene, with his ears hanging over his shoulders, elegant and dignified, his right cassock is bare, his chest and arms are bare, smooth and smooth, which is obviously a system in Myanmar. The Tibetan Classics Pavilion also houses the Sanzang Classics issued by Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty.
[Stone Buddha Pavilion] This is the Stone Buddha Pavilion. The stone Buddha and lotus altar in the middle are 6 meters high, which is the highest existing vertical stone Buddha in China. There is no Buddha pavilion here, only a natural stalagmite, which stands tall. When Nanshan Temple was built, a stonemason carved this vertical stone Buddha with natural stalagmites. Its carving skills are exquisite and meticulous, its modeling is true, its face is plump, its earlobe and shoulders are slightly drooping, its eyes are raised to the knees, its method is solemn, and its lines are rough and Gu Zhuo, which preserves the artistic style of Tang Dynasty sculpture. Appraised by archaeological experts, the artistic value of this vertical stone Buddha is comparable to that in temples such as Huanggang and Tianlong. The Buddha Pavilion was built after the Buddha statue was carved. You see, this stone pillar has an inscription by Ke Xingbang, a poet of the Ming Dynasty during the Apocalypse:
Where does the stone bone and golden body come from, without beginning or end;
Kindness clouds and rain fall from the sky and last forever.
The six tall stone pillars that we saw in the Hall of the Great Hero just now were carved from the materials of this stone Buddha at that time. However, if you look closely, you will find that the nostrils of this Buddha statue are a little too small. There is a very interesting folklore.
After the carving of the stone Buddha was completed, the stonemason threatened not to take any money if anyone could find out the problem of carving, so as to show off his carving skills. Sure enough, all the officials, celebrities, scholars and Buddhist believers in the city praised the carving skills of the Buddha statue, and no one could find anything wrong. Suddenly, a child pointed to the giant Buddha and asked, "Hee hee, this giant Buddha has so big fingers and so small nostrils, how can he pick his nostrils?"
When you look at it, it really happens, and you can't help making a fuss. Hearing this, the stonemason blushed and left. Buddhists use this to preach the wisdom of the wise and fools. In fact, China's statues in the Tang Dynasty, like paintings, pursued the spirit likeness and did not pay much attention to proportion. Therefore, it does not affect the artistic value of the stone Buddha at all.
The left and right statues of the Great Stone Buddha are the avalokitesvara bodhisattvas shaped for later generations, collectively known as the "three sages of the West".
[Dexing Hall] This room is called Dexing Hall, which was originally used for people. From 1930 to 193 1, Comrade Tao Zhu lived here when he was the secretary of the Minnan Special Committee. Under the leadership of Comrade Tao Zhu, the monks and nuns in Nanshan Temple sympathized with the revolution and supported the * * * production party. Under their cover, the special organs of the Central Committee of Minnan were hidden in the temple and led the revolutionary activities in Minnan. Under the leadership of Comrade Tao Zhu, Li Jinfa, then secretary of Zhangzhou County Party Committee, and Comrade Wang Zhanchun organized guerrillas to carry out armed struggles on both sides of the Jiulong River, and later developed into the Red Army guerrillas of workers and peasants in southern Fujian. With the armed support of the guerrillas in southern Fujian, the revolutionary movement of workers and peasants in urban and rural areas is in full swing. Later, this guerrilla group expanded into the third independent regiment of the Red Army. Under the education and influence of Tao Zhu, seven monks, including Xiao Daru of Nanshan Temple, took off their robes and joined the Red Army. They followed Chairman Mao to the Central Soviet Area in Jiangxi and fought in the north and south for decades, making contributions to the China revolution. When Comrade Tao Zhu returned to Zhangzhou after liberation, he wrote a nostalgic poem:
The scale of Nanshan ancient temple is there, and the smiling faces are still full of flowers.
White temples are full of affection, so old friends are rare.
Dexing Hall has now become a cultural relic showroom. These pages are Hua Yan Jing, a bloody book. Written by temple monks Lian Shan, Xiong Monk and Lian Nun during the apocalypse of the Ming Dynasty, they did not eat salt for three years and pricked blood intermittently. Beautiful handwriting, golden and fresh words. But most of them were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, leaving only these pages, which are rare treasures.
Hello, everyone, it's another sunny day. Let's start today's trip with a sunny mood.
Today we are going to Sanya Nansan.
Dear tourists and friends, in everyone's eyes, what else does Sanya have besides clean sky, blue sea and green coconut groves? How much do you know about the history and culture of Hainan? Today we are going to Nansan, a national 5A scenic spot, where I believe everyone can truly feel the unique culture of Hainan Island.
Nansan, located 40 kilometers west of Sanya, was called Aoshan in ancient times, with an altitude of 487 meters, which is the southernmost mountain in China. The planned environmental protection control area of the scenic spot is 50 square kilometers. It is a multi-functional large-scale cultural tourist area integrating Buddhist culture, tropical marine scenery, folk customs and historical sites. In the subtropical seashore, it is not only the largest, but also the only scenic spot in China that has passed the international environmental management quality certification. It was awarded the title of "Demonstration Project of Ecological Environment Restoration and Protection" by Hainan Province. At present, the scenic spot consists of six parts: Damen Landscape Area, Changshou Valley, Nanshan Temple and Guanyin Cultural Park on the Sea.
Dear friends, please get ready. We will arrive at Nansan soon. Have you seen this granite boulder? It is engraved with seven Chinese characters "Nanshan Buddhist Cultural Park", which was personally inscribed by Mr. Zhao Puchu, former president of the Chinese Buddhist Association. Now you can see this que building in the style of Southern and Northern Dynasties, which is the only way to pass through the gate of Nanshan Buddhist Cultural Park. Take a closer look. The front and back of the unique method are respectively engraved with four characters of "unique" and "faithful", which were inscribed by Gu, a famous calligrapher in China. According to the understanding of Buddhism, Parr is the highest method among 84,000 Buddhist teachings, and Parr is "a reality". In the final analysis, everything is equal and there is no difference. In addition, some people think that "Parr" means not to judge others by your own standards, to respect others' views, and to analyze specific problems.
Entering a unique way, we came to Cihang Purdue Garden. Now that I'm here, I'm going to tell you something about the rare art treasures enshrined in Guanyin Pavilion in the garden, the largest jade Guanyin in the world. This Jade Guanyin is 3 meters high. 8 meters, made of 150 kilograms of gold and silver, 120 carats of South African diamonds, thousands of pearls, and rubies, emeralds, corals, turquoise, jadeite and white jade. Due to the adoption of China's traditional "court metalworking" skill, which is one of the world's handicrafts, the golden statue is smart and elegant, and the wonderful method is vivid. Jin Yu Guanyin's face is like a full moon, serene and quiet, compassionate and kind. Jin Yu Guanyin's body twisted slightly, which not only showed the traditional beauty of Guanyin statue, but also showed its elegant and free-spirited posture. In this way, religious appeal and artistic expression are integrated, which adds to the charm of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Now we come to Longevity Valley. At the entrance, we saw a memorial archway in the architectural style of Ming and Qing Dynasties. On the memorial archway, there were four characters "Aoshan defends the ancient times", which was mentioned by Wu Dongming, a famous calligrapher in Hainan. In the north of the memorial archway, there are four characters inscribed by Mr. Qi Gong, a famous calligrapher in China, "Longevity is better than Nanshan". On both sides of the archway, we can see the cultural landscape couplets of Nanshan in the Ming Dynasty, "Days increase, people increase, spring is full of kung fu". The archway has the word "Shou" inscribed by Liu Bingsen, vice chairman of China Calligraphy Association. The whole Longevity Valley is permeated with a strong longevity culture. Here, Xiao Zhang wishes everyone more contact with the longevity atmosphere here, and hopes that everyone will be safe and live longer than Nanshan. Out of Changshou Valley, we came to Nanshan Temple, the only temple in China facing the South China Sea and backed by Nanshan, and the southernmost temple in China. Entering the inner court, we now see the main Buddha statue in the center, Maitreya Buddha, the crown of heaven, surrounded by four heavenly kings. Miller, the crown of heaven, is regarded as the successor of Sakyamuni, and later called "the Buddha of the afterlife" and "the Buddha of the future". In the main hall of Nanshan Temple-Jintang, there are three main statues, representing the space of the third Buddha. They are "Pharmacist Buddha" in the pure glass world of the East, "Sakyamuni Buddha in the world of women" and "Amitabha Buddha in the paradise of the West".
Out of Nanshan Temple, you can also see Guanyin on Nanshan Sea, which is as high as108m. It is said that the South China Sea is the place where Guanyin Bodhisattva hopes to live permanently. In order to fulfill the long-cherished wish of Guanyin Bodhisattva, a statue of Guanyin with a respect of about 2,600 tons and a height of 78 meters was cast here with titanium alloy, together with a base of 108 meters, which is the highest open-air Guanyin statue at sea in the world at present. It represents the spirit of "compassion", "wisdom" and "peace" in the eastern world.
Ok, fellow group members, how mysterious and charming is Guanyin at sea? Let's walk into Guanyin Cultural Park together. I believe everyone will look at the beauty of Nanshan with beautiful eyes, and hope that the most beautiful things in Nanshan tourist area can stay in your photo album and in your memory.
