The history of longxing temple

Longxing temple, Lu Ji inquired about the book Long Xingyuan Temple Monument. During the reign of Huichang (84 1-846), Tang Wuzong destroyed the Buddha and more than 40,000 temples in the world, and all the temples in Linping, such as Yin Ming Temple and Huayanyuan Temple, were destroyed. In the seventh year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty (1 125), the lake was flooded, and the temple Hua 'an was built, making it a town and building a vulgar tower. In the sixth year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 136), monk Huiwen raised funds to rebuild Miao Hua Temple. At that time, Bailongtan, which is near Pinghu Lake, was flooded by wind and waves all the year round, damaging the civilian fields in Su Hu. Master Huiwen and the elders of Linping have made great efforts to build it into a protected place. In the 12th year of Shaoxing (1 142), Queen Wei was released by the State of Jin. Song Gaozong personally went to Linping to meet his mother and stayed in Miao Hua 'an, so he was promoted to be a temple monk and was named "Longxing".

From Yuan Shundi to Yuan Dynasty (1264-1294), thieves started in the southeast, and Zhang Shicheng traveled between Suzhou and Hangzhou. Linping was a canal tunnel, but Yan Guang Temple, Anyin Temple and Jingxing Temple could not be protected. If this longxing temple is destroyed again, both the inscription and the inscription will disappear.

In the sixth year of Hongwu in Ming Taizu (1383), longxing temple was rebuilt and renamed "Longxing". In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu (139 1), the imperial court declared the famous temples in the world to be jungles, and the other temples were ordered to merge. At that time, Daisanji and Liu Qing monasteries in Tangqi, Yan Guang and Anyin monasteries in Linping, Jos Baoqing and Jueren monasteries, Boluhuiri monasteries and Qiaozhi Lohan monasteries all stood like jungles. Longxing temple and Yuehua Temple in Linping, Lotus Temple and Yan Guang Temple in Kobayashi merged with Compassion Temple, and Shan Gu Temple and Chaoshan Mountain in Ping Ling returned gratitude to Anyin Temple.

In the early Qing Dynasty, monks gladly rebuilt longxing temple, which was easy to be cold and easy to be hot. Shen Qian, a Linping poet who is one of the "Ten Scholars of West Leng", wrote "Rebuilding longxing temple to Raise Funds" and was later included in the book "Dongjiang Fund-raising". Over time, longxing temple was destroyed.

1952 In March, private Linping Middle School was opened in the former site of Longxing Bridge, and longxing temple was abandoned. 1996 longxing temple was rebuilt, and the temple site was moved to Donghu Village, Nanyuan Street. In 2003, the newly-built longxing temple, presided over by Shi Lijing, covers an area of 10 mu, including the Hall of Ursa Major, the Hall of Heavenly Kings and the Hall of Guanyin. It is also attached to the old Linping temples, such as Dabei Temple, Huiyun Temple, Temple, Beida Temple, Nanhu Temple and Guo Tomb Temple.
