Qinglong Ancient Temple in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, shot by Anji Wang Sheng.

Chaozhou Qinglong Ancient Temple is located on the east side of the south embankment of the south gate (that is, the south embankment at the western end of Chaozhou Hanjiang Bridge). The temple faces the Han River and is located next to the dam. This is a unique geographical building. It belongs to Chaozhou cultural relics protection unit. Founded in the Ming Dynasty, it is named Qinglong Ancient Temple because the common green snake winds around the temple without hurting people. After the turmoil and wars of past dynasties, destruction and repair again and again, it has reached today's scale. Wang Kang Traditional Culture Research Association of Chaozhou Prefecture was established, with the inscription "Qinglong Ancient Temple" on the main hall door and "Anji Holy Temple" written on the banner of the gate, so the temple is also called Anji King Temple.

The former Qinglong Ancient Temple also needed to enter the temple gate from the south embankment, which may have been given by Evonne, Song Huizong. There is a shrine and a stage on each side. From the back of the temple through the alley to the front of the temple is a half-moon temple embankment. There are three doors in front of the ancient temple: the stone tablet at the middle gate is "Qinglong Ancient Temple". Door couplet: the boat weaves the splendid scenery in the river for the shuttle, and the tower writes articles in the sky with a pen. Because the boat and the Phoenix Tower can be seen in front of the temple, which is impressive, I talked for a while. This couplet was written by Zhuo Yanchun (1839 to 1890) from Huilai. The side doors on both sides of the main entrance of the temple are small, and the stone tablets on the doors are engraved with "Chongde" and "Yongjiang" respectively. Small doors also have door couplets, but they are forgotten because they are not colorful and practical.

The statue of King Anji in the temple is covered with a yellow embroidered gold robe and a crown. The golden body is eight feet high and carved from hard nanmu. But this is not a small idol that Shi learned from Yunnan. It was originally placed in Xie's ancestral hall in the south gate. It is said that it has been well preserved so far. The statue of the holy king in the temple is much larger than the statues of the first lady and the second lady on both sides, and it is sacred through demonstration. There are also Shixian Palace and Guanting in the temple. There is a memorial tablet of chaozhou people Xie Shaocang in front of Guanting. It is said that he brought the statue of Wang Kang to the temple when he was an official in Yunnan, but there is no record of Xie Shaocang in Haiyang County Records and Chaozhou Prefecture Records. There are also two saints in the corner, probably the imperial envoys who sent Zhao plaque. There are also land gods and flower mothers who bless children's growth. There are a pair of stone lions and four stone pillars in front of the shrine. The top beam of the column is carved with flowers and birds, and there is a wall around the embankment. There is an open carp outside the wall along the river. All the living water in the temple belongs to the fish mouth and flows into the Han River. There is a manhole called "Fengkui (stomach)" in the beach ten meters below the fish mouth. Surprisingly, during the dry season and drought, the river in the well is not shallow enough for domestic residents to drink.

In the first month of every year, the holy king of Anji travels, and the city is crowded with people (there are pictures in front of the temple to record this historical grand occasion), vying for gods to drive out ghosts, and businessmen who go abroad especially regard him as the patron saint of their careers. For many reasons, this grand occasion has not appeared for decades now. Legend 1: According to legend, in the Ming Dynasty, outside the south gate of Chaozhou, there was a man named Xie Shaocang who became the prefect of Yongchang in Sichuan. One year, there was a long drought and no rain, and the crops failed. The profiteers took the opportunity to raise food prices, and the people couldn't fill their stomachs and starved to death everywhere. Xie Shaocang didn't have time to ask the court for instructions, so he opened a barn privately to help the hungry. Afterwards, the court fined him for seven days of exposure. On the sixth day of exposure, people have left a trace of gas. Suddenly, a large dark cloud flew in the distance and stopped above Xie Shaocang's head, blocking the sun for a long time. He looked up and saw a man sitting in the clouds. After he survived, he told the villagers what the man looked like and wanted to find him to repay him for saving his life. An old man told him that this man was Wang Kang, the hero of the West Shu during the Three Kingdoms period. After Wang Kang's death, people built a temple nearby to commemorate him, named "Wang Kang Temple". Xie Shaocang found the temple and went in to see that the statue on the temple was the savior of that day. Later, Xie Shaocang retired to his hometown in his later years and made a statue of Wang Kan and brought it back to Chaozhou. At this moment, there was a flood in the Han River, and the situation was very critical. As soon as the statue was dedicated to the "Seiryuji" by the river, the flood receded and the ancient city was saved. The hipsters attributed all this to Wang Kang, the God of Heaven, and named him "King Anji", commonly known as "Mi". Since then, the incense in the temple is very prosperous, and the reputation of the holy king is getting bigger and bigger.

Legend 2: During the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Northern Song Dynasty, Guangyuan House was arrogantly called the Southern King and renamed as. Because Guangyuan is connected with Chaozhou, the rebels are in danger. The emperor sent Yang to level eighteen holes in Nanman. When Song Jun went south along the Yangtze River, there was a green snake tied to the boat. Have a good trip and the holes were flat. When the soldiers were transferred, Yang played. Zhao Zhen called Chaozhou Green Snake "King of Anji Spirit".

Legend 3: One year, in a village outside Chaozhou, two aunts went to Seiryuji to make pilgrimages. My sister-in-law wants to have children early, and her sister-in-law wants to have a happy marriage. As soon as they entered the temple, both of them were attracted by the statue of the holy king of Anji. Sister-in-law secretly thought: if only there were a handsome man like the old man as her husband. My sister-in-law guessed her mind and said, "Sister-in-law, please ask the master to give her a husband like him!" " If you dare not pray, I will pray for you. "Then, I prayed and threw a cup as a sign. As a result, the cup won the cup and the contract was signed. My aunt went home happily. Unexpectedly, just arrived home, my sister-in-law died of sudden illness. That night, the master had a dream in the temple. The girl took a fancy to him, and he also took a fancy to the girl. The temple wants to inform the girl's family that before her funeral, she must carve her appearance into a statue and put it in the temple. This is the so-called "Lady Angie Wang Sheng". The family knew that the master could not offend, so they had to do it. One year, Wang Anji's sedan chair passed by the "Zhenjun Palace" in the welcoming ceremony. He was deeply moved to find the lady of Zhenjun in the shrine of the palace as beautiful as flowers and jade. After that, he often went to Zhenjun Palace. The real gentleman in the real gentleman's palace is Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in Sui and Tang Dynasties. Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty named him "Doctor Guo Zi", but he didn't accept it. Emperor Taizong made him a senior official, but he didn't want him. Later, he was called "Sun Zhenren" and "True Gentleman". The "Zhenjun Palace" is deserted and the incense is sparse. This Zhen Jun is very pitiful. The gentleman and his wife are naturally glad that King Anji is willing to come. On one occasion, the holy king of Anji let the true gentleman bet on the twelve-character "flower party", saying that it was a loss of ten. I am really lucky and want to win some gold ingots from him to make a living. Who knows that even the gambling has lost, and the amount is huge and cannot be repaid. King Anji took the opportunity to ask Mrs. Zhenjun for collateral. Zhenjun disagreed, and Wang Anji's face fell, threatening to raze Zhenjun Palace to the ground. The wife of a true gentleman is greedy for money and says that she is willing to be the wing of the holy king of Anji. A true gentleman regretted it and watched his wife be taken away. Since then, King Anji has had a second wife.
