A Gui Temple was built in the third year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1877). The Tibetan name "Laxiren Buga Dinglin Agui" was changed to "Zongcheng Temple" in Qing Dynasty. In the first year of the Republic of China (19 12), large plaques in Manchu, Mongolian, Tibetan and Chinese were hung.
This temple is dedicated to the statue of Muny. There is a red Sect deity in the companion hall, ruthless and like.
A Gui Temple is built on the mountain and stands across the water. The mountains are green and the waters are green, and Qingxi Xie Yu; There is a clear stream in front of the temple, with blue waves rippling; Surrounded by beautiful mountains and flowers, the fragrance is intoxicating, the trees are shaded, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and it is a natural land of feng shui. It attracts countless religious monks, tourists and archaeologists with its magnificent architecture, beautiful legends and fairyland-like natural geographical environment.
There are many ancillary buildings around Agui Temple: five peculiar natural caves, Agui Cave, Zhagasheng Cloth Kiln, Dari Eke Kiln, Erdene Zhuyao and Sambugari Cloth Kiln, all of which have become places to do Buddhism.
Agui is Mongolian, which means "cave". There are five natural caves on the cliffs around A Gui Temple, namely A Gui Cave, Le Sheng King Kong Cave, Princess Cave, water curtain cave Cave and Protector Cave, which have a wonderful environment of "one wonder, two secluded places, three highs and four dangers". There is a "divine spring" nearby, which is of great value for drinking and bathing. Sandy plants such as Caragana korshinskii, overlord and Haloxylon ammodendron grow in the alluvial fan in front of the mountain, which is listed as a natural forest protection area by the autonomous region. The famous Yinshan Rock Painting Group, Qin Changcheng, Han Tomb, Jilusai, Hongyang Cave, Xianchi and other places of interest are constantly distributed along the foot of the mountain. Agui Temple, located in Zhungeer Banner, Ordos, is located in Na Risong Town, southwest of Zhungeer Banner. There are more than 2,000 mu of natural secondary forests in the reserve, which is the original vegetation area of Ordos ancient land. A Gui Temple Nature Reserve consists of two slopes of a ditch, which are wavy and have a large drop. A ditch of clear water is hung with silver chains from time to time, and the snow splashes jade liquid, winding under the green jungle, just like a river covered with green. I only hear the sound of water gurgling, looking for time, but I see the silver chains hanging on the wall and falling, which is beautiful. The ditch is north-south, with dense trees and beautiful plants on the east and west slopes. The whole terrain looks like a green eagle flying in hills and ravines with open wings. I'm used to seeing the endless hills and gullies in Zhungeer and vast expanse. When I first saw the green hills covered with green shade, I couldn't help but feel relaxed and happy. Along the winding path in the mountain forest, through the simple and elegant stone arch bridge left by the Song Dynasty, lie in the deep stream and climb the stairs. The mountain looks like a huge stone of various animals and plants hanging in the air, as if it would roll down at any time, which is daunting. The path twists and turns, ups and downs in the flowers and plants, sometimes blocked by green grass, sometimes separated by rocks, and sometimes surrounded by green trees.
After crossing several boulders, we reached the top of the mountain. The temples are arranged here, which is the highest place of A Gui Temple and the location of the temples. From east to north, there are five temples, Gongbu Temple, Luohan Temple and Guanyin Cave. Surprisingly, these temples are not made of civil bricks, but are carved on huge rock walls according to the mountain situation, with quiet stone chambers and statues of different shapes. Luohan Temple and Guanyin Cave are hung on a huge wall. Only by climbing the steep steps in front of the temple can you enter the temple and show the majesty and dignity of the holy spirit. A Gui Temple got its name from this.
It is difficult to verify the architectural age of A Gui Temple. Archaeological findings show that A Gui Temple has a history of more than 1000 years and is the oldest temple group in Ordos and even Inner Mongolia. It embodies the wisdom of the ancient working people and their reverence for the gods, and is of great significance to the study of religious activities in Inner Mongolia.
The whole community of A Gui Temple faces south, facing the mountains and rivers. Mountains strewn at random, from a distance, resplendent and magnificent. Every summer, the mountain springs gurgle, the streams gurgle, the vegetation is lush, and the wild flowers are in full bloom. Several ancient elms are rooted among the rocks and the road is strong and straight. Birds sing, geese soar and the scenery is pleasant, just like a natural landscape painting. Climbing mountains is far away, mountains are connected, one after another, ravines are criss-crossing, and the weather is myriad, which is immersive and refreshing.
Every year on the 15th day of the fifth lunar month, Aobao Festival and Nadam Convention are held here. Temple fair, also known as temple fair, is held on June 15th of the lunar calendar. During the temple fair, Buddhist activities were very grand, and herdsmen from far and near helped the elderly and took care of the young, driving and riding with great enthusiasm and excitement. Reading Ya Ri is a classic, which begins on June 16th of the lunar calendar and ends on the second day of August. From May 15 to August 3, various Buddhist activities are frequent, which is also the best time to travel. A Gui Temple is the only red temple in Inner Mongolia.
