General situation of Foshan

There is a famous temple in the beautiful natural scenery. Yue Yunfeng at the top of the mountain, Yue Yun Temple at the top of the mountain, the seven Buddha halls in the temple, high mountains and blue sky, carrying clouds and taking the moon, are still in fairyland. Yue Yun Temple is located at the top of Yue Yun Mountain, the highest place in the Seven Buddha Mountains. It stands tall and towering, carrying clouds and the moon, hence the name Yue Yun Temple. There are seven Buddha statues in the seven Buddha halls in the temple, also known as the seven Buddha temples. The temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, and the remains of the monument in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty can be proved. Later generations have repeatedly repaired and built. In the early Qing Dynasty, Mr. Li, the right assistant minister of Fenghe Village in this city, begged to return to his hometown when he was old. He once contributed 500 gold and took the lead in donating money to repair the temple. There is a monument that records his story in detail. Yue Yun Temple has three courtyards, the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard, with a main courtyard in the middle, and pavilions in the temple. Simple and generous, well-organized, patchwork. Four cypresses stand upright, fragrant and colorful, and the scenery is pleasant. The Ursa Mahayana Hall is the Seven Buddhas Hall, in which the Buddha Sakyamuni and the six Buddhas born before him in Buddhist legend are molded, namely Vishnu corpse Buddha, corpse Buddha, Vishnu Buddha, sun-catching Buddha in the building, Nash sun-catching Buddha and Gaya birthday Buddha. The gates and halls used to be hung with large plaques of "Seven Buddhist temples", "Seven Buddhist halls" and "One Six Tathagata". This ancient temple was destroyed more than 40 years ago, and now there is no trace of the original. There are still sites and stone tablets from the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

200 1 gaoping municipal people's government strengthens the infrastructure construction of qifo mountain, accelerates the development of tourism in the whole city, and connects hydropower circuits to the top of the mountain. In 2002, Zhang Yongzhong, a lay monk in Lu Yong and deputy director of China Buddhist Research Association, raised huge sums of money to rebuild seven Buddhist temples. On the basis of the old site, the scale was expanded and regulations were added. The original Sanjian Courtyard was rebuilt, and the original Sanjian Courtyard was changed into a Yijin Courtyard. Then a new pagoda was built, and a seven-story and six-sided white marble pagoda was added in the courtyard. Gao Lingyun, the new temple, is even more magnificent from a distance. Especially in February and August every year, when a red sun rises from the seven Buddhist temples, it is like a Buddha's light. The red sun white pagoda with blue bricks and green roofs is spectacular and can be called a major landscape of Gaoping City.

Seven Buddhist temples are Erjin temples, with mountain gates, seven Buddha halls, seven pagodas and ten thousand Buddha halls (or Buddhist scriptures halls) on the central axis, and turrets, annex halls, wing rooms and attics on both sides, which belong to the layout of "front temples and rear pagodas", and the main temple is in the shape of "flower arrangement by the number one scholar".

There are two deep doors and three wide doors. There is an eaves gallery in front, resting on the top of the mountain, with a single eaves. The main entrance of the studio is in the shape of a white marble arch coupon, and there is a big plaque inscribed by the famous calligrapher Mr. Qi Gong. Cornice columns are square columns of limestone and bluestone. A big round window of white marble sculpture was opened between two times, just like two longan trees looking straight ahead. There is a side wall inclined door on both sides of the mountain gate.

Entering the temple from the mountain gate, facing the Seven Buddha Hall, it is five rafters deep and seven bays wide, built on a stone foundation one meter high. There is an eaves gallery in front of the main hall, with a single eaves hanging behind the mountain and a roof resting in front of the mountain. The auxiliary room is paved with five arches and one flower. Eight eaves columns, carved in blue stone, three rooms in the middle have three doors, and one or three rooms are built in front of the temple for pavilions. On both sides of the main hall are square three-story attics, which are deep and wide, with white marble arches and single eaves resting on the top of the mountain. The attic is more than ten meters higher than the central hall, just like two flowers inserted in the crown of the champion. The two attics are like two corners on the faucet, reaching straight into the sky.

There are nine east-west wings, with a single eaves hanging from the top of the mountain, three in the middle and three on each side. One or two layers of watchtowers are built in the southeast corner and southwest corner, imitating the roof of the Forbidden City, which is a sloping cross roof. The roof of the temple is all tubesheet tiles with tricolor glass edges. Open an arched door on the back wall of two attics, and go out and enter the pagoda courtyard behind.
