When Sean played the flute and retired from Chu, it was not clear what Jiming Mountain was like. In the Ming Dynasty, Zifangshan, because of the Zifangshan Temple, more people came to visit and recite scriptures, which let us know about the past buildings and scenic spots of Zifangshan and Zifangshan Temple.
In Mu Chen's works in the Ming Dynasty, Zifangshan is beautiful: "The four fields are clear and the lonely peaks are bright. The wheat border is covered with waves, the peach path is bright and the peach is red. Listen to the sound of fish and firewood, and you can still hear the voice of Chu Shi. " This is the spring scene of Zifang Mountain before Jiajing in Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Yellow River was less flooded, the mountains were beautiful, the peach color was like a cloud, the wheat waves in the fields fluctuated, and the fishermen sang in harmony. The same is true in the late Ming Dynasty: "Peach Blossom Rain Bridge, willow swaying with the wind." (Feng Shizhen); In the Qing Dynasty, it was still: "Cui Wei buried the temple for a thousand years, and saw a scene of mountains and rivers" (Zhang Yanqi). In the Ming Dynasty, the Yellow River replaced four, and Zifangshan was adjacent to the Yellow River. This kind of scenery with steep mountains and rivers and green fields has always been a historical portrayal of Zifangshan scenery.
The Ovarian Temple on Ovarian Mountain is also called Liu Hou Temple. The original name of this temple should be Ovarian Temple. In the early years of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (1426), there was a drought in Xuzhou, and Chen Xuan begged for rain in Fangshan. It rained soon, and Chen Xuan built an ovary temple on the mountain. The orthodox version of Peng Chengzhi: "Zifangshan is five miles east of the city, and there is an ovary temple on this mountain." The orthodox version of Peng Chengzhi is the earliest official record book in Xuzhou, and it is also the earliest original record about the Ovary Temple.
More than a hundred years later, Ming Jiajing wrote in his book Xuzhou Zhisi Temple: "There are two temples in Liu Hou, one in the city and the other in Zifangshan. At the beginning of Xuande, Chen Boxuan in Pingjiang was built on the mountain, and Jingtai Song Cheng was moved to the new mountain. " It took only about 30 years from the construction in Xuande to the reconstruction in Jingtai. The temple was not only relocated and rebuilt, but also renamed Liu Hou Temple. This is the first time that historical records have been reconstructed. When it was rebuilt in Jiaqing period of Qing Dynasty, I don't know how many there were. The Qing people lamented that "Cui Wei slept in the temple for a thousand years", but it was only over 300 years. During this period, the ovaries and temples are often damaged. For example, when Zhu Yizun visited the Ovary Temple in Xuzhou in the Qing Dynasty, the scene was rather sad: "My hometown, Pengcheng, is a relic temple, covered with moss and its monument is broken. Millennium Road, full of maple leaves and a bend in the river. "
There is a statue of Sean in the Ovary Temple, which is a "hint" in ancient poetry. During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a statue of Sean in the Zifang Temple built by Chen Jue. In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Rongsi visited Zifang Temple and witnessed the statue of Sean: "The sunset is deserted, and the portrait of the ovary overlooks the river." 300 years later, in the Qing Dynasty, Xu Yuan, a native of Xuzhou, also wrote in "Dengzi Fangshan": "If you knock on the temple to worship Liu Hou, the portrait will be lost." This shows that there has always been a statue of Sean in the Ovarian Temple. Although the poet has no more words to describe it, from these poems, we can imagine the ancient statue of Sean. First, it is tall. By the Yellow River, you can see the statue in the ovary temple on the mountain. The second is chan chan, which is as beautiful as Sima Qian's Looks Like a Good Woman in Historical Records.
The ancient poems also tell us that there are two important corresponding buildings in the Zifang Temple: "Liu Hou Terrace" and "Laihe Pavilion".
In the early Qing Dynasty, Wanshouqi once boarded the Liu Hou Station: "The trees in the East fell and opened, and Liu Hou Station looked at Su Causeway. There are few tigers and leopards in ten years, and several cattle and sheep cottages are low. " Thus, the position of Liu Hou Terrace should be higher than that of the Ovary Temple, so that you can see Su Causeway in the west of the city on the highland near the Yellow River. Bu Xiaotian, a citizen of the Republic of China, once boarded: "Liu Hou came to the stage, and this year's situation is better than last year." Recently, many people have been interviewed, but no one knows about Liu Hou TV, let alone Liu Hou TV.
As for the crane pavilion, few people mentioned it. However, we can still get a glimpse from Xu Yuan's poem "Dengzi Fangshan": "There is ancient moss on the wall, and the fallen leaves are audible. Lonely Tongming, ancient cypress shade rock. " This is the inside of the temple. "The winding path turns to the monk's room, so I doubt the world. Sit here and relax, and you will know that the interest rate is right. " -along the winding mountain road, you can reach the monk's room. Climb out of the monk's room: "Come to the crane pavilion with a staff to mourn. Overlooking Bai Chi Creek, I drastically cut djinn. " Xu Yuan, a native of Qing Dynasty, came to the Crane Pavilion or was built by monks at that time, and was connected with the Crane Pavilion in Yunlong Mountain. When the pavilion was built, cranes flew from the west and lived here, which was unknown.
According to the description of the ancients, referring to the Travel Guide to Xuzhou compiled by Zhang Fengming during the Republic of China and the memories of the old people, it is assumed that Zifang Mountain in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China should be surrounded by the Yellow River, with deep forests and continuous valleys. There is a small temple courtyard in the Zifang Temple, with the door facing west and a stone platform climbing up from the mountain in front. In the temple, there are many phoenix trees and dense cypress trees. There are several stone tablets. There is a statue of Sean in the hall, and there is music in the morning and evening. There are three monk rooms in the south of the courtyard, and there is a spacious Liu Hou terrace outside the wing wall. The winding path along the platform leads to the peak. There is a Hebei guild hall on the north side of the temple, which is still there today, with the door facing north. There is a door on the east wall of the guild hall that can enter the temple courtyard. After the main entrance of the West Temple was destroyed, you can enter and exit from here. Further north of the guild hall is Huangshigong Temple, which is now located in Dongshan Temple.
