I often yearn for the ethereal situation in poetry. I entered Xiaofu Temple on a late autumn afternoon, so I didn't meet Chang Jian, a poet of the Tang Dynasty who entered the temple in the early morning, and it was impossible to meet Chang Jian, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.
Guangfu Temple is one of the famous temples in the south of the Yangtze River. Built in Nanqi, its name has been changed several times: Daci Temple, Fushou Temple, Poshan Temple and Xiaofu Temple. Chang Jian likes the word "broken mountain temple", so do I, "broken" is a verb, not an adjective. Because there is water rushing down the mountain in front of the temple, it is quite artistic to play the piano and say mourning.
It is precisely because the water rushed down from the mountain that there is a small bridge in front of the temple, and two ancient trees embraced by several people shed a coolness. The front of the gate is titled "Kofukuji", and the left and right couplets are as follows: "It's irrelevant outside the door, and I have read mulberry fields and seas several times; Nothing in the chest, half loose and half white clouds ",and signed" Jiashu July Weng Tonghe ".
There are three maple trees in front of Guangfu Temple, such as King Kong Shou. Behind the courtyard gate, the stout bodies of two ancient cypresses were covered with scabies and their bark was mottled. After hundreds of years of wind, frost, rain and snow, it is still lush and full of vitality.
The mountain gate will remain unchanged for a hundred years. Now it seems that the temple is a little stingy, but I think there is a legacy of Nanqi. Walking into the mountain gate, you will feel that the influence of Xingfu Ancient Temple on Changshu for thousands of years is the exquisite beauty of Wumen Water Town today.
There are towering old trees and shady trees in the temple. Two big locust trees, tall and straight, cover the sky, silent and speechless. The sun shines through the branches, and the temple is quiet, simple, solemn and empty.
Xiaofu Temple was built on the mountain, and the existing main building is a relic of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is divided into two gardens by the central axis. The garden and courtyard are connected by pavilions. Exquisite corridors, courtyard walls, stone pillars and bamboo forests can be seen everywhere, showing superb design and architectural level.
* * * * is divided into five columns from south to north, with Toushanmen, Tianwang Hall, Sanfo Hall, Daxiong Hall and Jade Buddha Hall in turn on the central axis. The first time I entered Tianwang Temple, the inscription "Supreme Law" was "Mi Fei", and the couplet was: "Whoever opens the door will enter; You can't live in a dream, but you know you want to go home. "A book written by Song Chi 80 years ago is now reprinted by Cao Datie, a native of Changshu. Sitting in the temple as the door is Maitreya, with a bare belly and an open navel.
In the fifth year of Datong in Nanliang (539), when the temple was expanded and overhauled, a huge stone, the size of Shi Niu, was found in the corner of Daxiong Hall, and there were prominent stone patterns on the stone surface, which actually formed clear Chinese characters. It's a little different from different angles. It looks like the word "Xing" from the left. From the right, it becomes the word "fu", which is of course regarded as wealth, and the homonym of fu can be heard as Buddha. Therefore, people regard this stone as an auspicious thing, and come to pay their respects and kowtow and burn incense to it. Originally called Broken Mountain Buddhist Temple, it was directly called Broken Mountain Guangfu Temple. In the ninth year of Tang Xiantong, in 686 AD, Tang Yizong officially awarded "Kofukuji".
East of the central axis is Dongsi District, and from south to north are Bailianchi, Tiger Rescue Pavilion, Zen Hall, Four Monks Hall and Tibetan Scripture Building in turn.
The square white lotus pond is located at the southernmost tip of the East District, which is the east of Tianwang Temple. There is a white lotus with double calyx in Chiba in the pond, and its fragrance is abnormal. A magnolia tree next to the pond leans into the pond, which is in harmony with the lotus leaf.
I went through the bamboo forest, the promenade, the Guanyin Tower, the Tiger Salvation Pavilion, and the Tibetan Scripture Building, and went straight to the Houchan Temple, where poems were often built. There is a stone tablet sealed and preserved with glass in the Mipi Pavilion near Qingtan: the famous sentence "Broken Mountain Temple" often built by poets in the Tang Dynasty: "The ancient temple is inhabited in the morning, and the dawn is higher than the forest. A winding path leads to a hidden place, and the Buddhist temple is surrounded by branches and flowers. Here, birds live in the mountain light, and people's hearts feel quiet in the pond. Everything was silent, but I heard the sound of the clock. "
Mi Fei, a calligrapher in the Song Dynasty, changed the original poem (the words in brackets) when writing the inscription, making this poem more relevant to the scenic spots of Jiafu Temple in the Song Dynasty. In the garden next to Mibei, two osmanthus trees are fragrant and a clump of plantains is dark green. There is a bamboo fragrance bookstore behind the monument. When I opened the window, I saw the green bamboo entering the sea and the bamboo fragrance was rich.
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the city people guarded Xiangyang County like treasures, got the original poem written by the great calligrapher Mi Fei, and brought it back to their hometown. They asked the famous stone carver Mu Dazhan to carve a monument in the temple. Tang poetry, Song calligraphy and Qing dynasty are integrated into one, and people call it the "three wonders" monument. Poetry is often built in the Tang Dynasty, Mi Fei wrote it in the Song Dynasty, and Mu Da Exhibition was carved in the Qing Dynasty-people of three eras embraced a stone through the Millennium and jointly presented the beauty of China people.
The hollow pool bridge is made of nine twists, surrounded by yellow stones piled up like cliffs, the hollow pavilion by the pool flies in the air, and a golden pine tree in the north of the pavilion is tall and strong. In Hulutan, north of the hollow pool, there was once a tailless snail and a green turtle that were not found anywhere else.
The hollow pavilion is taken from the poem "The human heart touches peace in the pool". In the Southern Song Dynasty, the pavilion was already in the wing. This pavilion has been built and abandoned several times. The pavilion is built on the north side of the hollow pool, and countless fish are playing leisurely in a small pool.
I sat in the empty pavilion for a while, which was quite ethereal, just like Chang Jian said, "and people's hearts touched peace in a pool."
West of the central axis is Xisi District, which is larger than Dongsi District. To the west from the Ursa Major Hall, there is a big yard called Xiyuan.
To the west of the central axis is the former site of Huayan Lecture Hall and the cloister I walked through. From the Maitreya Cave in the northwest to the top of Rizhao Pavilion, Gu Song in the pavilion is lush, with rugged rocks and Xiaofu Temple in full view.
Walking through a small pool called "No Leaking Spring", you can climb the stairs and enter a doorway and a winding corridor. This is "My path has been winding through a sheltered depression".
There is indeed a large bamboo forest in the backyard of Duanshan Temple. Walking along the winding corridor, on the right is a patchwork hillside, covered with old pines and cypresses, and the air exudes a faint fragrance.
"My road twists and turns, passing through a sheltered depression", this artistic conception is full of seclusion, simplicity and vulgarity. The word "secluded path" is very detailed, euphemistic and artistic, as if you were walking on it, walking in a line of poetry and walking in a quiet time. It's a long way to go in Xiu Yuan, and you can always get out of the noisy world. The road ahead is inseparable, as if there is always something unknown waiting. How can I tell everything and cross all these clouds? .
From the east path of Manjusri Hall, heading north, you will find the Yun Qi Tower. There is a brick gatehouse with the words "Yun Qi Tower" on the front and "Freedom" on the back. Deep in the bamboo forest is the Yun Qi Tower of Xiaofu Temple, and the path leads to the dark resting place-the spiritual bones of dozens of eminent monks and great virtues. More than 20 small stone pagodas of eminent monks in past dynasties stand at will.
Out of Xiaofu Temple, in the east garden of the temple, there are hundreds of tables and chairs for people to drink tea and chat. Locals like to climb mountains in the morning. After going down the mountain, they ate a bowl of noodles, chatted and played cards in the Happy Noodle Restaurant next to Xiaofu Temple. Life is so pleasant.
When I left, I looked back at the road behind me and couldn't find a trace. On the store flag hanging by the roadside, a classical word of tea fluttered in the wind. I don't know who is playing the old tune through the bamboo curtain. Pick up a violet and continue to travel towards Yucheng, which is full of autumn.
Time is getting older, and so are we. No matter how many circuitous roads you and I take and how much tea we drink, no matter how things change, I only hope that you and I will not forget your active heart, have no worries, indulge in red light and green wine, and bring compassion, tranquility, purity and beauty.
