Boxwood Jintai Temple Tourist Attractions [Zhuhai, Guangdong]

Known as "the first peak of the Pearl River Gateway". The coastal expressway in western Guangdong passes under the mountain and looks north through the window. Among the green hills, an antique building with a golden glazed tile roof is eye-catching. This is the famous Jintai Temple of Huangyang Mountain. Jintai Temple, formerly known as Jintai Jingshe, is one of the eight scenic spots of Boxwood. In the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu escorted Zhao Bing, the Emperor of Xiangxing. Guangdong Xinhui yamen failed to dispatch thousands of warships to fight against the Yuan Army, and Prime Minister Lu Xiufu was saddled with the young Xiangxing Emperor and threw himself into the sea to die. General Zhang Shijie led the rest of the troops to break through, but he was killed in the strong wind in the South China Sea. His body drifted to Dachikan at the foot of Huangyang Mountain and was buried at the foot of Huangyang Mountain by villagers. Yi Chen Lang Zhao Shicong, Dali Temple Cheng Gong Xingqing, Hanlin Bachelor Deng Guangjian and others hid in the Kazak House in Huangyangshan, and named it "Jintai Jingshe House". During the Spring and Autumn Period, Yan Zhaowang built a "Huang Jintai" in Yishui, which was called the official of the world. From waiting for people to build a house on Huangyang Mountain, they also compare themselves to a gathering of wise men, plotting against Yuan for truth in the name of reading and reciting sentences. Jintai Jingshe is the predecessor of Jintai Temple. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1772), the Master of Light Mirror initiated the expansion of Jintai Temple, and the Inscription on Rebuilding Jintai Temple made it clear that scenic spots must be acquired by celebrities, and celebrities must choose scenic spots to live in. The intersection of land and people is often natural. When investigating the records of the city, Zhao Gong stayed in Huangyang Mountain to avoid the chaos of the Song Dynasty, leaving Deng Gong in the light. He was a good minister in the Song Dynasty and was very kind to Zhao Gong. He also avoided chaos and sang here, so that the three sages learned from the four virtues and the four virtues benefited from the three sages. If there is no evidence, you can test the bird. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong and Emperor Gengshen, Zhao built a temple because of his victory, which was named as a place for monks to walk in tin. However, the scale is still not wide. During the Qianlong period, the optical mirror was innovated. Zhao advocated this move, and the masters of the Quartet also enjoyed the help of Thai. The high city walls, wide halls and places where the gods can show their spirits have greatly changed the previous scene. With beautiful scenery and misty clouds, it is not only a place for literati to feast, but also a capital of songs ... After the expansion, the main sedan chair of Jintai Hall, the middle seat is Daxiong Hall, the east wing is dedicated to the statues of the three ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the back seat is Kuixing Pavilion on the second floor. Temple gate couplet: the golden body is always there, and the mirror is always bright. It was written by Huang Huaisen, a Doumen man who was then the governor of Guangxi. Every Buddha's birthday, custom festivals, tourists like clouds up the mountain, pilgrims like tide temple. Over the past hundred years, the abbot has changed hands several times, among which Master Yin Zhi from Dongguan entered the mountain on 1933, which lasted for more than ten years. He is quite accomplished in Buddhism and literature, and often talks about Zen and Taoism with Master Yifeng, the abbot of Xiangquan Temple in Ganwu. His poem "Jintai Temple" said: "There have been drums on the golden platform for a long time, and every time you go to the DPRK, you will gather red smoke. A piece of brocade is separated from the polluted land, and Chihiro is refined in white and wet. It's rainy and foggy in the morning, and the desert hangs on the clouds. Who will win in this situation? You know, there is an escape Zen in Tongli. " Since then, Jintai Temple has been burned by soldiers repeatedly, becoming increasingly scarce. In the third year of the Great Leap Forward, the main building was demolished, and after the construction of Jintai Reservoir, broken walls appeared. The people's government protects legal religious places. In the early 1990s, the restoration project in Jintai Temple started. Because the old site was flooded and the traffic was inconvenient, the new site was chosen at the south foot of Huangyang Mountain. This place has beautiful scenery, overlooking the Haikou of Yamen in front and the main peak of Antelope in the back. Qinglong Mountain stretches on the left and Baihu Mountain rides on the right; There is a bright blue water ahead, and the high rock on the other side of the mountain is suddenly named "Dengxian Stone", which is the place where the cowboy king ascended to heaven in Doumen folklore. Hong Kong Shanxin Huang Yongfa and Yang Lianjiao have a special liking for Huang Yang landscape and are willing to donate money to rebuild Jintai Temple. After doing business, they will go to Jiuhua to climb Putuo, and invite famous temple masters to come to South to preside over the reconstruction and management work. The local American clothes also helped. After several years of construction, Xinjintai Temple has begun to take shape. Drive along Huangyang Avenue and turn into the reservoir to reach the mountain gate, and climb more than 300 stone steps before you see the main hall, where the statue of Bodhisattva is magnificent and the comprehensive room is antique. According to the plan, the Sutra Building, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Heavenly King Hall, the wing, the living room, the warehouse and the Gongde Hall will be unveiled one by one in this geomantic treasure house. When the 3-ton bronze bell cast in Suzhou rang, Jintai Temple played a new movement. There are at least hundreds of temples in Guangdong, and Jintai Temple, an ancient and emerging city, has been rated as one of the 20 Buddhist temples in one fell swoop. This is not for nothing. I think when the Xinjintai Temple was built, "the general's armor was removed" and it became a bare "loess high slope". There are trees here now. Eyes full of green. This is the result of diligent planting and good management of afforestation by monks and believers in Jintai Temple in recent years. Wubao Reservoir, with its bright water, has been supplying tens of thousands of people at the foot of the mountain and has not been polluted beyond the standard, which depends on the mage's attention to environmental protection. They released a large number of fish, turtles and birds, making them thrive, creating an ecological environment with kites flying, fish leaping and birds singing, and flowers overflowing. It is refreshing to board the Xinjintai Temple. With the increasing number of pilgrims, it has become a new tourist attraction, attracting film and television workers from the mainland and Hong Kong to shoot the location. There are still many construction projects in Jintai Temple that need to raise funds. Despite this, monks are still charitable and enthusiastic about social welfare.

Following 1997, more than 800 people from Zhuhai and Doumen Buddhist circles held a grand ceremony here to celebrate Hong Kong's return to the motherland and pray for prosperity and stability, last year, they participated in the gala performance of people from all walks of life in Zhuhai to welcome Macao's return, which was well received for its long Sanskrit sound. The following poem by Liu Jun, a contemporary poet, is a portrayal of ancient and modern Jintai Temple: the old temple rises and falls because of Mo Wen, and the snowy mountains and the sea say loyal ministers. The assistant minister's old residence has old articles, and Baotang has gained new glory. According to the Buddha's lamp, the taste is locked, and the virtue is good and enlightened. The mirror, mind and body are focused, clean, selfless and dust-free.
