Imitate 300 words of Hongshanyuan Temple

The temple was built in an unknown age. It is said that it was built by Weichi Gong in the early Tang Dynasty to commemorate Dayu's flood control when he was appointed as a county magistrate in Jiexiu. According to "Rebuilding Fayuan Temple Monument from the first year of Song Xianggong (1008) to the third year of Daodao (997)", Fayuan Temple existed before the Song Dynasty, and three temples were built in the second year of Yuan Dynasty (1309), which was rebuilt in the eighteenth year of Ming Hongwu. According to the Inscription on the Newly Built Shen Yuan Temple in the 19th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (159 1), in the 16th year of Wanli (1588), Wang Yikui, a magistrate of a county, moved the old Shen Yuan Temple to Fu Nan (the present temple site) and expanded it. The scale of existing buildings has always maintained the style of this period.

The source temple was built because of the source of Hongshan Spring, and its temple was built on the source of Hongshan Spring. Hongshan Spring, also known as Gulu Spring, is said to sing here when the spring tide is surging. "Shan Hai Jing" records: "There is no vegetation on the mountain of the fox, and shine on you is better than water." This is the earliest historical record about Hongshan Spring. Hongshan Spring is the largest underground spring in Jinzhong and has always been the lifeline of Jiexiu water conservancy. She has made indelible contributions to the history and economic development of agriculture, ceramics, incense making and water milling in Jiexiu. In particular, the records of porcelain kilns in temple monuments provide precious historical materials for the study of ceramics in the Song Dynasty. Shen Yuan Temple has always been the center of the local regime and people in managing and utilizing water resources. There are more than 20 stone tablets in Shen Yuan Temple, which record the achievements of Wen Yanbo, a famous figure in the Song Dynasty, in creating the Three Rivers. It also includes the record of Wang Yikui's management of Hongshan water conservancy and its disadvantages in the Ming Dynasty, as well as the historical facts of other famous people on water conservancy, water conservancy construction, water conservancy regulation, water law, water pipes, water dispute settlement, project layout, water saving and pollution control. Hongshanyuan Temple, with relatively complete historical and cultural remains, has preserved the development track of Chinese water conservancy culture for more than 1000 years, and has its unique cultural relics and historical value.
