Open China, with a long history of 5,000 years, has produced many epic heroes, from whom people feel the meaning of heaven and earth and express infinite admiration. Yue Fei, who lived in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, is such a hero, and his deeds are well known to women and children. I came to Tang Yin, Yue Fei's hometown, and made a special trip to visit Yue Fei Temple.
Yuefei Temple was built in the first year of Jingtai in Ming Dynasty. During Hongzhi, Zhengde and Apocalypse of Ming Dynasty, it was repaired and supplemented during Qingganlong and Daoguang years. It is a national key cultural relic protection unit. When I went there, it was a national 4A scenic spot.
The Yuefei Temple complex is not too big, but the trees are red and the walls are antique. In particular, those archways and halls, with upturned cornices and carved beams and painted buildings, are extremely exquisite, revealing an ancient spirit. On the door of the blue glazed tile, the word "Song Temple" stands out. Entering from the concierge, there is a mountain gate facing south. There are three giant plaques on it, which are "loyalty to the country", "integrity" and "temple eating for thousands of years". A pair of stone lions stood in front of the door. Stepping into the temple, there are two pavilions in the courtyard, named "Su Zhan" in the east and "Guangjin" in the west. Inscriptions are arranged in a wall, including poems about the emperor's visit to the temple, descriptions of the restoration and expansion of the temple, and poems praising Yue Fei.
Passing through the Imperial Monument Pavilion is the main building of Yue Temple-Daxiong Hall. The hall is five rooms wide and very spectacular. There are five huge plaques hanging on the lintel of the temple, namely Nai Wu Naiwen, hometown cowpea, faithfulness and faithfulness, brilliant battles, and righteousness. In the main hall, there is a huge gold plaque "Give me back my rivers and mountains". In the center of the temple is a colorful statue of Yue Fei, which looks majestic and tall. On the walls around, there is a painting "Mo Bao" praised by famous domestic painters. The temples on both sides of the main hall are exhibition rooms of Yuefei historical sites.
There is a sleeping hall in the backyard of the main hall. There are 140 stone carvings in the hall, including Liezi, a calligraphy treasure. There are other ancestral temples in the hospital, such as Yue Yun Temple, York Temple and Goose Temple. Yue Yun, Yue Fei's eldest son, was tortured and sacrificed with his father. York is the son of Yue Lin, the third son of Yue Fei. He used to be the magistrate and assistant minister of Shaoxing, and wrote 30 volumes of Nazi Jin Tuo and Jin Tuo's sequel, and collected information about his ancestor Yue Fei, which provided an important basis for future generations to study Yue Fei and the history of the Southern Song Dynasty. Jin Tuo's sequel, Xiao E, the daughter of Yue Fei, learned from history. She saw her father die in unjust prison, swallowed it and threw her silver bottle into the well. She died heroically.
Opposite the gate of Yuefei Temple is Shi Quan Temple. Shi Quan, a small official in the Temple Department, was extremely resentful of Qin Gui's crime of framing Yue Fei. 1 150 years, eight years after Yue Fei was killed, Shi Quan was arrested for hiding under a bridge to assassinate Qin Gui. He was put to death for his integrity and unyielding. There are statues of Wang, Wang, Zhang Jun and Wang Jun under the stone steps in front of the temple. There is a couplet hanging on both sides of the corridor: "I am unkempt and kneeling on my knees, thinking about the prime minister of that year; The crown hangs down and sits down to look at today's generals. "Statues and couplets fully reflect the world's hatred for traitors and love for heroes, indicating that justice can finally be revealed to the world. Traitors may gain power for a while, but they will eventually be spurned by the world. In Yuefei Temple, there are iron statues of He Wang, and they are all punished on their knees. Similar to this place, the difference is that there is Yuefei Tomb in Hangzhou. Although the scale of Yuefei Temple in Hangzhou is different from that of Yuefei Temple in Tangyin, the purpose of commemorating Yuefei and praising heroism is the same. Two temples, one in the south and the other in the north, were built in Yue Fei's hometown and Yue Fei's martyrdom, echoing each other from afar for future generations to pay tribute to.
In Yuefei Temple, there is an imperial tablet commemorating Yuefei by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, which is a poem like this:
See the ancestral temple on the cypress red wall, and the lamb and dolphin will be sacrificed again.
The word "minister" is a teacher through the ages.
Daoji Great Wall: Who is self-destructing? Lin 'an is lucky to have a tree.
What do you hate about cowpeas in your hometown? Hate that the gold medal came too early!
It can be seen that heroes like Yue Fei are admired not only by the Han people, but also by the descendants of the Jin people. The Chinese nation has gradually formed a unified ideological cognition in the historical development.
