Qiu Licheng, deputy director and researcher of Guangdong Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, visited Gaozhou twice in February 2000/KLOC-0 and June 2005 to observe some cultural relics in Gaozhou Museum, and got the following observations: According to historical records, Mrs. Xian is a Li nationality, and her clan is the leader of South Guangdong who is in charge of the three caves. Lady Xian is also a cool person, and the cool places are mainly Liangde (now Gaozhou Reservoir) and Gudianbai (now Changpo Guzhen Village). On the other hand, Yunping is located in the northeast corner of Gudianbai. From a military point of view, stationing troops here not only plays the role of defense and barrier, but also leads the war to a favorable situation far from home and the rear. A similar military building was found in Wang Sha, which is the former Shilong town adjacent to Dapo town. In addition, there is Yunping Ancient Temple not far from the ancient city wall. Believers are mainly fairy lady. The construction of Yunping Ancient Temple is not only related to offering sacrifices to Mrs. Xian, but also related to Mrs. Xian's military activities in this area. Building a large city wall is probably the military need of Mrs. Xian. It is speculated that the age of the ancient city wall may be in the Tang Dynasty or earlier, which is consistent with the age of Mrs. Xian. More likely, Yunping's large stone wall should be Mrs. Xian's military facility. According to relevant data, during the Southern Dynasties, there was a fierce ethnic conflict between the Han and Li nationalities in the Xijiang River Basin. In the war, the father and uncle of the then leader Xian Ying were killed. Xian Ying led the remnants to retreat to Nanliang Mountain, and defended Sun Yi and NSW Secretariat Land together with the invading dignitaries.
According to Ke, deputy director of Gaozhou Tourism Bureau, this is the first time that Gaozhou has discovered such a complete military site. The municipal party Committee and municipal government attach great importance to it, protecting first and developing later. The city has incorporated the ancient city wall into the overall tourism planning of the city and the planning of Yunping tourist scenic spot, so that more tourists can visit, understand the history of Mrs. Xian and create a cultural brand of Mrs. Xian.
Of course, there are still many problems about the cultural nature of Yunping ancient city wall site that need further study. It is worth mentioning that this is the first time that such a complete and clear military building site has been discovered in our city. Its ingenious architectural design, unique technology and well-preserved shape are all seen for the first time in our city. It is hidden at the top of Yunping Mountain at an altitude of 1000 meters. The project is huge and the scene is spectacular. It not only has high historical and archaeological value, but also has great ornamental value. It is an extremely precious cultural relic resource. Now the site has been listed as one of Yunping scenic spots. Before long, the public can have a look. Sendai Temple in Yunping Mountain is located at the foot of Tiantongla Mountain in cloud mountains, adjacent to Dajiaoding and Sanguanding, with an altitude of1080m. Built in the Sui Dynasty, this temple is a memorial to Mrs. Xian, the leader of South Vietnam in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, also known as "Yunping Ancient Temple". This is the military headquarters of the former Mrs Xian and her father, and now it has been designated as a revolutionary guerrilla base and a Maoming-level cultural relics protection unit. Mrs. Xi Mi-n (5 12-602) and Mrs. Yi Zuoxi (m: n) were born in Xiaguliang County (now Gaozhou) in the 11th year of Southern Dynasties (5 12), and died on the 18th of the first month in the 2nd year of Sui Renshou (602) at the age of 90.
Located at the foot of Tiantongla Mountain in cloud mountains, Yunpingshan Sendai Temple is the highest Sendai Temple in Gaozhou. It has a long history. It is the symbol of Lingnan ancient culture and the pride of the Chinese nation.
Mrs. Xi Mi-n (5 12-602) and Mrs. Yi Zuoxi (m: n) were born in Xialiangde County (now Gaozhou) in the 11th year of Southern Liang Dynasty (5 12). In the second year of Sui Renshou (602), he died on the 18th day of the first month at the age of 90. She has gone through Liang, Chen and Sui Dynasties, and has been in politics for decades with remarkable achievements. Sui Shu and History of the North have been recorded and passed down to future generations, and they are deeply loved and admired by people. Therefore, when Mrs. Xian died, people in Nanliang, hundreds of miles around Yunping, were very sad and crying. Everyone stopped cooking and fasted for three days. After mourning, he decided to build a temple to worship at the former site of Mrs. Shanxian's military department. For this reason, the court specially gave five colors of clay, blue, red, yellow, white and black, as the cornerstone of the temple, in recognition of the extraordinary honor of "Mrs. Qiao Guo" in loyalty to the monarch and patriotism. It took one year and seven months from the day after the death of Lady Xian 100 to the day when the temple was built in the third year of Sui Dynasty (603) 1 1 24.
Once the temple is built, the gods are prominent, bells and drums are ringing, cigarettes are lingering, and beautiful beliefs are always there. Killing pigs and sheep to pay homage to the fairy lady has become a routine and has a fixed ceremony. The grandeur of the sacrificial ceremony cannot be expressed in words. It is reported that civil and military officials of past dynasties who lived within hundreds of miles went to the temple to worship the fairy lady, praying for good weather, abundant crops, national prosperity and people's peace. In order to show their piety, when they arrived at a village more than ten miles away from Yunping Mountain, they bowed to the ancestral temple, then dismounted or got off the sedan chair, and made three obeisances and nine knocks until they reached the temple. Therefore, Shilong's "bending down" and "big worship" are named after this.
Sendai Temple in Yunping Mountain was founded in 1404 and has experienced many vicissitudes. It was rebuilt twice in Tang and Song Dynasties. Yan Zhenqing, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, wrote six characters for the temple, which left a deep impression on people. In Song Dynasty, Shaoxing was also called "three saints" with Guanyin and Empress Dowager, so it was also called "ancient temple". At that time, there was a couplet at the entrance of Daxiong Mountain: "Hundreds of millions of people in the world are at peace; Clouds open three thousand heavens and the earth. " Couplets are posted on the pillars on both sides of the main hall: "The flat land is long, and the virgin is far away. The mountains are shrouded in clouds, and it is a famous area to watch fairy tales alone. " The couplet in the lower hall is: "It's good to see the temple auspicious and new, and to see the three saints visiting and climbing the blessed land together;" The magic of Shenwei Duhe Wangmi Group swept away people's livelihood forever. "All this is recorded in the history of the temple and has been passed down to this day. Unfortunately, it was destroyed by fire in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty. Until Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty, Liu Shixin, a tribute student of Sambo in Yangchun County, instructed him to return to China to bury his mother, passing through Shilong and Dapo. Only last night did he witness the strange phenomenon of red light in Yunping Mountain. Realizing that this is the reason for the appearance of Mrs. Xian, she planned to rebuild the ancient temple with the local gentry, so that the ancient temple could regain its former glory. Ten years of catastrophe and destruction, reform and opening up can only be repaired.
However, in order to protect historical and cultural relics and carry forward the spirit of Mrs. Xian, the Maoming Municipal Government has listed this project as a key construction project of the city (Mao Fu Ban Han [2006] No.8), and under the leadership of the Municipal Bureau of Culture and the Municipal Bureau of Religious Affairs, established the "Yunpingshan Xiantai Temple Reconstruction Committee" (affiliated to Yunpingshan Tourism Scenic Area Development Co., Ltd.) to implement the temple construction plan, which was designed and constructed by China Ancient Architecture Design Institute. In 2007, when the foundation stone was laid on the twelfth day of Ding Hai's birthday, a red light suddenly lit up on the top of Lashan Mountain, which surprised onlookers! Rebuilding the ancient temple, remolding the golden body, "praying in the clouds and listening to nature" have realized the wishes of believers from all directions, with three characteristics of "red revolution, green ecology and ancient culture", and its cultural connotation has played an educational role in inheriting history, commemorating sages, promoting righteousness, strengthening unity and spreading civilization. It is a revolutionary guerrilla base, a cultural relic protection unit in Maoming and a patriotic education base.
In addition, it is necessary to mention Pan Maoming, the pioneer of Lingnan Taoism in the Western Jin Dynasty. He has camped on Yunping many times, collected medicines to help the world, gave medicines to doctors, and saved the people from epidemics many times. Therefore, hundreds of miles around Yunping, there are still many beautiful and moving folklore. In order to comply with the prayer of believing in goodness, the new temple will reproduce Pan Maoming's golden body for people to pay tribute to.
