There are morning bells and drums everywhere in the temple. Why did Zhang Ji hear the midnight bell that year?

"Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City, the bell rings at midnight to the passenger ship." This is a famous sentence in a night-mooring near maple bridge by Zhang Ji, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty. The Hanshan Temple mentioned in this poem, formerly known as Miaoliping Pagoda, is located in Qiao Feng Town (now gusu district) outside Gusu City. It was built in Tian Jian during the Six Dynasties and Liang Dynasties, with a history of 1400 years. During the period, it was destroyed by fire and rebuilt many times.

Hanshan Temple was renamed Hanshan Temple because two eminent monks, Hanshan and Picked, came here from Tiantai Mountain Congress Temple. It is one of the top ten famous temples in China. There are many historical sites in the temple, including the stone carvings in a night-mooring near maple bridge, the stone statues of Hanshan and two eminent monks, and the fragments of inscriptions written by Wen Zhiming and Tang Yin. It can be said to be an ancient temple in China with profound cultural accumulation.

"Baizhang Clear Gauge Instrument" said: "The big clock jungle made the capital start work. The strike at dawn broke the long night and the police slept; When you strike at dusk, you will feel confused and ignorant. " Brahma is an instrument of Buddhism, and all legal activities and daily life of Buddhism are based on Brahma.

Ring the bell in the morning to call "quiet" to break the drowsiness of the long night and wake up the sleeping monk for morning class; Ring the bell at night to call "quiet" to remind monks that it's time to rest, and at the same time, it can help to transcend the ghostly suffering. This is the "morning bell and evening drum".

This clock should strike 108 evenly every time. One hundred and eight represents the nameless troubles of all of us. Ring the bell and say, "Smell the bell, and your troubles are light;" Wisdom is long, bodhi is born; From hell, from fire pit; I would like to become a Buddha and be a sentient being. "

In fact, the bell he heard should ring midnight every day. The midnight bell in Hanshan Temple is different from other places. Monks here knock 1 1 on average every night from 40: 00 to 0: 00 in the morning 108. The last shot happened at the intersection of midnight and early morning.

The Millennium Brahma Bell of the Millennium Hanshan Temple has penetrated the long river of history and come from afar. That voice is round and loud, rich and long! It will bring peace and good luck to all sentient beings!
