One of the 24 Scenes in Putian

Tell me about Mei Feng Temple in the city! Mei Feng Guangxiao Temple is located at the east foot of Meifeng in the urban area, which is called Mei Feng Temple for short. The morning bell of Meisi Temple is one of the "Twenty-four Scenes of Putian". Mei Feng, formerly known as Meizigang, was planted with plum trees, and Guanyin Pavilion was built in the early Song Dynasty. Li Pan and his wife prayed for their son in the pavilion, that is, in the eighth year of Yuanfeng (1085), they gave up 100 mu of land and expanded the pavilion into a temple. In the second year of Chongning (1 103), Hui Zong gave it the title of "Meilin Buddha Country", the following year gave it the name of Chongning Temple, and the first year of Zhenghe (11), and decided to change it to Manjuji and Shaoxing for seven years (65438. In the forty-first year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1562), the temple was destroyed by the Japanese invaders and rebuilt in Wanli. More than a dozen large and small halls were built in the Qing Dynasty. Since 1979, with the support of overseas Chinese monks, Mei Feng Temple has been renovated and expanded on a large scale, making this "urban mountain forest" more magnificent. Mei Feng Temple has been announced by the State Council as a national key open temple.

"The upper ceiling reappears the famous temple in Puyang, and Yuanfeng opens the morning bell of Mei Wen Temple, the first Buddhist country." The couplets on the pillars in front of Tianwang Temple summarize the long history and distinctive features of Tianwang Temple. Mei Temple Morning Bell Mei Temple originally had a bronze bell, which was cast by Tong Cai, a famous craftsman in Shaoxing, Song Dynasty. Here is a folk story: after hanging the clock, the old monk will go north. Before leaving, he told the young monk to wait a day before ringing the bell. But the young monk was impatient. After a long time, he rang the doorbell. The old monk just walked to the foot of Wengshan Mountain in Fuqing County, north of Jiangkou Bridge, and had to turn back when he heard the bell. Later, the place where the old monk heard the bell was named "Zhongqian Village", which was fifty miles away from Mei Feng Temple. If the young monk is obedient, this clock can travel a hundred miles. Although this legend is not credible, Chua's bronze bell is really amazing.

Whenever the morning dawns, there are frequent and continuous bells in the temple, which wake up this ancient city with a thousand years, which is not only pleasant to the ear, but also urges people to get dressed and get up.

Features: The temple has a long history, bells ringing and magnificent architecture.
