Gushan Baoning Temple is hidden in the valley of Changsha Gushan Forest Park (Gu Feng Village, Wang Yue Street, Yuelu District) under the Wang Feng. Since the Jin and Tang Dynasties, it has been a meditation place for eminent monks who preached Buddhism in the west. The founder of Gushan Temple was a Tibetan Zen master in Gushan in the Tang Dynasty.
Architectural History At the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zen Master Ren Yong of Baoning made a sincere pilgrimage to famous temples all over the country. After traveling for 30 years, I came to Gushanchong, Hexi, and made a wish to prosper Gushanchong here, making it convenient for monks to travel around.
So he sought alms from Ma Yin, the king of Chu, and rebuilt the temple. The king of Chu sent an imperial edict to Emperor Taizong, who named him "Baoning Temple". Nineteen sons of Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Dynasty, the Valley King Zhu _, entered the mountain with his clothes, leaving many beautiful legends.
1927, Changsha suburban farmers' association was located here, and revolutionaries Xiao, Teng and others often held meetings here. During the Republic of China, Gushan Temple was one of the "eight jungles in Changsha". In the 1930s, there were many monks living in temples and primary schools. During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Hunan Buddhist Ci 'er Hospital spent the first time in the temple. In the 1950s, fireworks were still there. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in the autumn of 1969 and converted into a forest farm. Now, there is still an ancient laurel tree that stands tall.
The Baoning Temple in Gushan, a gathering place of humanities, has been a gathering place of literati and scholars since ancient times, and there have been poems praising the ancient temple in all dynasties. The eight hundred and forty-fourth volume of The Complete Poems of Tang Dynasty contains You Gu Shan Temple written by the poet Miracle:
Seeing Biling in the city, it is common to send water to monks at night.
Several peaks and the feet of the clouds hang horizontally, all the way through the upper layer.
There are no floating objects in the cold current, and there was ice on the shady cliff last year.
In this life, it is difficult to throw things away, and current events are going on.
Buddhism inherits Buddhism, exists in the world, and continues to this day, and has been focusing on solving the problems of human mind. In the land of China, an ancient civilization with a long history, Buddhism has spread for nearly two thousand years. Similarly, in Changsha, a rich and beautiful land of geomantic omen, Buddhism has also infected and educated generation after generation with compassion, being positive, kind and harmonious, and building a beautiful landscape of Hunan's two-oriented society.
Buddhism in Changsha has also shown an unprecedented development trend with its solid economic foundation.
All this is due to the importance attached by the party and the government to promoting the great development and prosperity of socialist culture, and to the attention and protection of the Buddhist community by various provinces and cities.
