From Wang Bo Street, walk along Zhao Bo Road (county road) eastbound for about four kilometers, and there is a temple on the north side of the avenue, which happens to be a ridge of Liang Gang. When we get to Gangliangping, just call. Chen Zhuanggang? Because Zhuangzi, which is downhill to the east, is called Chen Zhuang, some people call it Taoist Temple? Chen Zhuang Xuan Di Temple? .
Its temple covers an area of about 1000 square meters and has more than ten houses. The temple hall is resplendent and magnificent, with wings on both sides. On the left is a vegetable field, connected with an old ditch from south to north, and on the right is a shallow pool, which is rippling all the year round, adding a lot of aura to the temple. The poplars and pines and cypresses around the pool set each other off, adding a lot of beauty to the temple. The fertile land behind the temple is far away, colorful flags are flying in front of the temple, and the afterglow shines in the temple. Seen from a distance, it looks like a golden god and a golden bowl. Really:? A mountain, a canal, a pool of beautiful scenery, a treasure hall. Fulu gave him a gift to Zhentiandi to enjoy the fragrance of ten thousand square meters.
Pushing open the scarlet door, a corridor leads directly to the courtyard, and there is a wing on each side, which is used by monks. A huge gossip old man stove in the yard, tall and majestic, occupies half the room, because it is in the middle of the yard, blocking the line of sight leading to the hall. Laojun furnace is octagonal to show all directions. Eight diagrams are painted on both sides of the furnace base, and eight diagrams are painted on the outside, carving dry, Kun, Zhen, Li, Kan, Gen, Dui and Xun directions. There are doorways on it, which can be used for incense. On both sides of the doorway facing the gate, there are symbols. The incense ash fills the air in the furnace, and the mist fills the air, which is filled with mystery for a long time.
On the left, there is a circular doorway facing the Eight Diagrams Furnace, with Taoist symbols painted on both sides. When you enter it, you will find a new world. It turns out that this place is also called:? Ancestral temple? . The three halls face south, and there are four stone monuments in front of them, all of which are related to? Xuan Di Temple Taoist Temple? Life experience. One of them is the oldest. The stone tablet has weathered and cracked, and many words are illegible. But? Rebuilding the Temple of Yuan Di? A few big characters are still discernible, obviously. Yuan? Words are taboo for the royal family? Xuan? The word has been changed. What else is on it? Nanyang county, Nanyang prefecture? 、? Confucian family Zunyi Shudan? 、? The first person: Is the room as good as Ji? Yang? Zhao? (? Can't see clearly) , there is still time? November of the twelfth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty? . It is not difficult to see that this stone tablet records the history of temple reconstruction. Li Feng, a villager from Chengzhuang Village Committee in Chen Zhuang, said that the temple has a long history, probably built in the Han Dynasty, and the restoration recorded in the inscription was the second time, and the first time was in the Ming Dynasty. The author consulted the information:
In the first year of Judy Wenjian (1339), Yan Wang, the ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, said when he was sworn in. Xuan Di showed up? . As a symbol of asylum, he proclaimed himself emperor, and then spread the myth that Emperor Xuan Di blessed the prince to the whole country, and wanted to preserve it in the form of architecture. So he not only built it in Wudang? Nine palaces and eight views? In the 14th year of Yongle (14 12), an imperial edict was issued and posted, indicating that Xuan Di Temple was built in the world. The above information is very consistent with the old man's words, so when building the temple, we can only believe the old man's speculation. Li Fenghe said to the old man: According to the old people, when the temple was demolished at the beginning of the last century, the cypress trees in the temple were thick enough to show the age of the temple. The old people all said that the temple was built in the Han Dynasty. ? He added that Zhao Bo Road is now the former site of the ancient post road. This is an understandable fact in Wang Bo's mind. Ancient post roads can be traced back to Yu Kai? Kyushu? , set? Grade nine? At that time, it was a long time ago. And the data shows? Xuan Di Temple? To Emperor Xuanwu, Emperor Zhenwu. Zhenwu God evolved from the worship of Xuanwu God, one of the four ancient gods, which began in the pre-Qin period. Back in ancient times, Xuan Di Emperor Zhuan Xu did exist. He is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor and his surname is Ji. His father is Changyi, the second son of the Yellow Emperor. At the age of fifteen, he helped Shao Hao to manage the Jiuli area, and was sealed in Levin (now east of Qixian County, Henan Province), so he was also called Levin's. Zhuan Xu gave birth to Shun's great-grandfather Qiong Chan. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the King of Chu was his descendant, and Qu Yuan also claimed to be his descendant in Lisao (Qu Yuan and the King of Chu were a family). China's 5,000-year worship of gods is inseparable from the great achievements of leaders and heroes. Like our ancestors Huangdi and Yan Di, Zhuan Xu is called? Xuan Di? 、? Emperor Zhen? With the vicissitudes of history, with the repair and abolition of temples, his reputation and achievements continue to spread.
In troubled times, everything is wasted, and prosperity is waiting for prosperity. One of the stone tablets was erected when the temple was built today, with the inscription of repairing the temple written by Feng He of the old Li Man, as well as the records of the promoters and donations of repairing the temple, and the other two are the records of repairing the old mother temple and the Jade Emperor temple. This small yard is elegant and quaint. Although the area is small, it is solemn and elegant. If you don't enter the main hall, you will be awed. There are nine statues, large and small, in the hall, with the granddaddy sitting in the middle. His face is antique gold and copper, and his beard is impressively sparse. He has the dignity of an elder. He looks like a saint in a robe and a jade belt. Grandpa is a folk figure, and all walks of life have their own grandfathers. As a Taoist temple, I think this should be Laozi. Laozi is an old gentleman among the people, but the statue doesn't show sage like type. This may just be the grandfathers in the heart of the statue man. In fact, granddaddy should be a broad term. Whoever comes to burn incense and worship is the granddaddy in his heart. The power of faith is great and sacred. As long as he has it in his heart, why must there be a fixed form?
Bypassing the gossip stove in the yard, the yard suddenly brightened up a lot, and the three rooms on the right were particularly small and chic, so you can enter the house by walking more than ten steps. This is the old mother temple. The goddess worshipped is the goddess Wu. Dressed in yellow, the Virgin has a delicate face, a kind eye and a serene expression. She is facing the door of the photo studio, her eyes are calm and her mouth is slightly open, which means that people feel happy when they smile. I think this is even more skillful by the sculptor. This is the Wu Shen in folklore. People who have suffered in the past dynasties are looking forward to offering a miraculous statue with their own spirit? Virgin Mary. Image. She is omnipotent, she represents charity and compassion, represents God's blessing and the power given to children, and entrusts all the greatness of motherhood in the world. As long as she worships, there will be good luck. Wu's mother has gone through thousands of years, long live, still young in the world. The temple covers a small area, but there are 17 statues. These statues are all great women. Everyone has his own name, and some still hold dolls, similar to Guanyin, which I have seen before. I know that the spirit of Guanyin and Notre Dame is unified, and they are both patrons of mankind. Buddhism has it, and so does Taoism. Guiguzi has a saying:? The sage is in the world, and his way is also one. ? The spirit of the immortal is also unified. Three religions and nine streams are of the same origin, passed down from generation to generation!
Turn right and you'll find the Hall of Ursa Major. Several loquat trees are lush in front of the door. Although it is late autumn, it is still so high and green. In fact, the Ursa Major Hall is not large, which is the size of three rooms. The top of the temple is covered with glazed tiles, resplendent and magnificent. The roof is a red crane, carved with auspicious birds, with different expressions. The green trees and apricot temple walls are all bathed in the sunset Hui Jin, silent and solemn. There are no steps in the main hall, so you can lift your legs high and tread your feet lightly to enter the room. There are seven statues in the room, with Xuanwu Emperor (Zhenwu Emperor) sitting in the middle. The statue is twice as big as the real person, which shows its height and greatness. The famous Taoist Jade Emperor worships God, wearing a pearl crown and half covering his face. His bronzed face looks a little dim, his eyes are slightly open and he looks very kind, and a pair of black beards under his chin are on his chest. Dressed in a yellow robe, he sat serenely, with a blue cloth bag floating around his hips. The incense burner in front of him was full of ash and overflowing, and there were flowers in the vase next to him. There are waiters on both sides, and the curtain cloth is half-covered, which really makes people feel mysterious, timid and scary. There are three Buddha statues on his right. The Buddha statue is full-faced, dressed in gossip fairy clothes, sitting up and practicing. On the left is Guan Gong. He has a red face. He is full of heroic spirit, wears a golden helmet, has a beautiful moustache, looks like electricity, looks heroic, holds a dragon crescent moon blade, and has a dignified and heroic posture. There are incense burners and futons in front of these statues. The whole hall is colorful and dazzling. These statues have different expressions and are lifelike.
On the east side of the main hall, there is also an iron plate room with three statues, large and small. In the middle is the dragon king, human-shaped, but with a diagonal on his head and statues of a shrimp, a soldier and a crab on both sides. Although the house is a little humble, you can still taste the fragrance of the world. Outside the western wall of the Taoist temple, there is also a small house, which is full of incense and dedicated to the land god and grandmother.
There was no way to inquire about the Taoist temple before, but now it seems that all the gods who eat human fireworks are gathered in it. We should not forget the kindness of the gods to the world, but also let them protect the chastity of the world. The sunshine in early winter is as bright as gold, and the majestic posture of the mysterious Taoist temple shines brightly, which makes people admire the beautiful faith forever!
