Guide words of Jinlong Temple in Jin Meng, Luoyang

Hello, friends, I sincerely welcome you on behalf of Jinlong Temple Scenic Area. I am the interpreter of Jinlong Temple, and it is my pleasure to serve you. I hope this place can bring you good memories. Here, I also wish you all a good time and a good swim.

Jinlong Temple is located in Beili, Jincun Village, pingle town, Mengjin County. It was built on the site of the Gu Chan Virtual Temple in the Old Town of Luoyang during the Han, Wei and Han Dynasties.

The whole Golden Dragon Hall rises from the valley, with a ditch depth of 1km, covering an area of 1.98 million square meters and 28 architectural halls. The existing Buddha statue is 336 1, resplendent and magnificent. It is particularly worth mentioning that there are more than 5,000 pine and cypress trees in the deep ditch, and the beautiful mountains and fresh air make the whole temple lush and full of vitality.

Jincun is located in the ancient city of Han and Wei Dynasties, and there are many cultural relics in the village. However, due to unmanned management, the village leaders deeply regret it. In order to properly protect historical relics, the village committee decided to build a temple in Silonggou, the former site of Zen Temple, to integrate all the cultural relics in the village, to increase its old system, to add new concepts and to develop new tourist attractions. This scheme was implemented in 1988, with an investment of more than 8 million yuan, and the whole village actively participated. After many years, it was finally completed. Because it is located in the ancient city of Jinyong, the Longwang Temple (a county-level key cultural relics protection unit) in the village moved in, so it was named Jinlong Temple.

The scenic spots in the temple mainly include Changming Bridge, Wanglongdian, Stone Buddha Pavilion, Thousand Buddha Square, Guanyin Temple, Baogong Temple, Giant Buddha Hall, Tang San, Tianbofu and Three Temples. There are statues of emperors and historical and cultural celebrities such as Zhang Heng, Cai Lun, Sun Simiao, Li Bai, Du Fu, Bai Juyi and Di Renjie in the caves on both sides of the Golden Dragon Temple Ditch, and each cave is inlaid with stone carvings.

Jinlong Temple is a folk temple, so the culture is very open, with various statues. Here, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, birds and flowers are fragrant, the building scale is grand and the natural environment is beautiful. It is a temple integrating Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism.

Changming bridge

Friends, this bridge is called Changshou Bridge. The water in the pool below is very clear, and there is a stone toad in every corner of the pool. As long as you are sincere, you can live a long life after crossing this bridge.

Longwangdian

My friends, the main hall we see now is the Dragon King Hall. These stone tablets you see, as well as other stone tablets behind them, are mostly merit tablets for building or rebuilding temples. However, after the war, Longwang Temple was in disrepair and rebuilt several times. After liberation, the Longwang Temple in Jincun is one of the three well-preserved ancient temples in Mengjin County. 1983, Jin Meng people's government announced it as a key cultural relic protection unit in the county. In order to protect cultural relics and develop tourism, Longwang Temple and Shi Fo Temple were moved to the ruins of the Northern Wei Temple in Jincun and renamed Jinlong Temple.

The center of the temple is the Dragon King of the Yellow Emperor, and the east and west sides are the Dragon King of Di Qing in the east, the Dragon King of Chi Di in the south, the Dragon King of Bai Di in Youfang and the Dragon King of Hei Di in the north.

Dragon is one of the four gods in ancient China mythology, and the duty of the dragon king is to spread clouds and rain.

Whenever the wind and rain are unbalanced, it doesn't rain for a long time, or it rains for a long time, the people will go to the Longwang Temple to burn incense and pray for the Dragon King to control the water and the good weather.

The statue behind is the Virgin of Kowloon. According to legend, she had nine dragons.

Shi Fo Pavilion

Friends, the pavilion we see now is called the Stone Buddha Pavilion. The stone statue stolen in the middle was originally enshrined in the Stone Buddha Hall in Jincun Middle Street. It was not until 1964 that the Stone Buddha Hall was transformed into a mill and the stone Buddha was dug deep underground, which survived the Cultural Revolution. 1994 moved to Jinlong Temple. While excavating the stone Buddha, we found a stone tablet, which is the one we see now. Carved in the fifty-third year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty, there is a saying of "rebuilding the stone Buddha hall in Jincun Town". There is a saying, "Why is Buddha a stone? It was built after the Northern Wei Dynasty. " Judging from the plastic arts of stone Buddha and the origin of inscriptions, the Stone Buddha Hall should be built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, which has high artistic and cultural value. Unfortunately, one night in April 2009, a group of robbers tied up our staff, gagged them with towels and stole this precious stone Buddha. Although they called the police, there was still no news. The two bodhisattvas next to them were re-added by later generations.

guanyin temple

Dear friends, this hall is the Kannonji, which is the main building in the temple. In the middle of the Buddhist temple is a red-painted square platform about 2 meters high, on which there is a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the South China Sea. This is the treasure of clay sculpture. Eighteen arhats on both sides are lifelike.

Guanyin bodhisattva is merciful. As long as you recite or call the name of Guanyin when you are suffering, Guanyin can immediately see and feel your voice and save it, hence the name Guanyin.

My friends, this statue is the Bodhisattva of Wei Tuo and the protector of the temple. Its duty is to protect the Buddha, monks and temples. It is said that Wei Tuo was originally a general under the king of southern China. He was famous for walking like a fly. After the Buddha's nirvana, evil spirits stole two sacred grains of Sakyamuni, and Wei Tuo caught up with them. After a fierce battle, he finally regained the sacred grain and won the praise of the kings of the heavens, thinking that he could exorcise evil spirits and protect the Buddha, and later rose to the status of a bodhisattva. The direction of Wei Tuo Bodhisattva Vajrayana is different, and its meaning is also different: if you carry a Wei Tuo pestle on your shoulder, it means that this temple is very big, and monks who come here to travel can receive it for three days for free; If Wei Tuo's pestle is in hand, it means that this temple is medium-sized and can entertain monks who come here for a free day. If Wei Tuo stands on the ground, it means that this temple is a small one, and it can't accommodate monks who travel here for free.

Qianfofang

Thousand Buddha Square, multi-door cave building form, unique architecture. It represents happiness, wealth, longevity, wealth and happiness, and is embossed with colored glaze. It is tall and majestic, overflowing with golden yellow, and there are hundreds of Buddha statues, large and small, inside and outside.

Memorial Temple of Lord Bao

Dear friends, on the left side of the main hall is Baogong Temple, and couplets on both sides read: "Benevolence and righteousness in prison are lofty, and Li Dan's heart for disaster relief has been shining for ever." Bao Gong was upright, dark-faced, and kind-hearted. Mahan, Zhang Long, Zhao Hucang, with red hair, stood majestically on both sides. Entering the temple, there is an atmosphere that makes honest people comfortable and makes greedy people afraid.

Huang Yu Pavilion

Built on the hill, this temple is the heavenly palace of the Jade Emperor, with a height of more than 30 meters. The Jade Emperor sits in the center of the main hall, surrounded by Tota, King Li, land, the old gentleman, the god of wealth and other gods. The majestic Tiangong is impressive. People's understanding of the Jade Emperor mainly comes from the mythical novel The Journey to the West, whose image was dressed by the Qin and Han emperors. According to legend, the Jade Emperor surnamed Zhang was born on the ninth day of the first month, and the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month is the Jade Emperor's patrol day every year. The Jade Emperor visited all beings in the lower world and observed the good and evil in the world. He returned to the upper world on the 30th.

Liyuan fairy

On the right side of the square, there are fairies in Liyuan, such as singers in Tang Dynasty, pipa grenades, Haichun, Zhang and Li Mo, who are called "Miaoyin". Every musician plays the purple flute, the flute, the Jie drum or the pipa, with high spirits, different postures and touching voices. Their song is really "this song should only be in the sky, what is the news on earth?"

Now let's look at the Ten Emperors.

Giant Buddha hall

My friends, this temple is the Great Buddha Hall. There is a giant sitting Buddha in front of the temple, more than ten feet high, dressed in cassock and with a golden face and body. What he is holding is the Monkey King, which represents the boundless Buddhism. Although the Monkey King is capable, he can't escape from the palm of the Buddha's hand. On the left is Manjusri Bodhisattva, who specializes in wisdom, and on the right is Shanxian Bodhisattva, who specializes in morality.

Yuntaige

Just to the north of the Buddhist temple is the most magnificent building in the temple. It stands on a 30-meter-high platform base, which can be flush with the cliff. This is the highest and last floor of the Golden Dragon Hall. As long as you climb the 137 steps, you can enjoy the scenery on the stage. The whole temple is full of word kiosks. How to hang in the clouds, resplendent and magnificent, flying eaves and walking angles, magnificent.

Tianwaitianhe three churches

There is an inclined cave in the outside world. Climb the stairs. In the deep and dark cave, you have to take 156 steps to reach the entrance. According to legend, during the Three Kingdoms period, Liu Chan, the king of Shu, visited this place and called it a "beauty", which never came back. The first hall here is three churches. There are statues of the founders of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism in the hall, which are divided into three layers and two sides. The lower level is eighteen arhats, the middle is Taoist figures, and the upper level is Confucian figures, which embodies the idea of governing the country by three religions. That is, to govern the mind with Buddhism, to govern the country with Taoism, and to govern the body with Confucianism.

Tianbofu

The main statue of Tianbo House is Yang Jiajiang.

Behind Tian Bo House are the Three Temples, the last scenic spot of Jinlong Temple.

This hall, about five rooms wide, is a courtyard with red bricks and blue tiles. There is a Buddha sitting in the middle and upper part of the temple. On the left is Amitabha Buddha in the western paradise, and on the right is the pharmacist Buddha in the oriental pure glass world. The middle and lower classes are Maitreya Buddhas, with bare arms and a big belly, welcoming pilgrims entering the temple. The Buddhist figures swimming inside and on both sides have their own modality.

The above is the main building complex of Jinlong Temple, which embodies the culture of Buddhism and Taoism. This is the main body of the whole temple.
