The fire spread all over the net because of a tree. Xi 'an, a thousand-year-old temple, is not simple. According to legend, it was built by Emperor Taizong and spread all over the network because of a tree. Every late autumn, the silent temple is suddenly crowded with people.
The ancient Kannonji, which was built in the second year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty, has a history of 1400 years, and is one of the thousand-year-old temples at the foot of Zhongnanshan Mountain.
According to historical records, the ancient Kannonji was quite large, including the mountain gate, the main hall, the Bell and Drum Tower and the Yunshui Temple, covering an area of more than 300 mu, with great momentum and strong incense.
There is an ancient ginkgo tree in the courtyard of the temple, which is said to have been planted by Li Shimin himself. Every year 165438+ October, this Millennium ginkgo tree is full of golden leaves, and there is a gold-plated Guanyin icon under the tree, sitting on the earth with good eyes.
Since it spread online with ancient trees, tourists have woven and broken the tranquility of the ancient temple. But in fact, apart from this "ginkgo tree of network celebrities", there are many places worth seeing in ancient Kannonji, which is worth exploring.
Such as the spring water under the ginkgo tree, is well known. It is inexhaustible for many years, sweet and incomparable, and it is said that it can cure all diseases. People nearby often come for water to drink. It is called "Guanyin Divine Spring".
"Find the dead branches of Nanshan and light firewood to make tea. A solitary fragrance is not bad, just because spring is deep and long. "
This kind of spring eye existed in the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. Rain or shine, the spring does not rise or fall, and the water level will never change. It complements the ancient ginkgo tree in spring. Springs soak roots, trees nourish springs, adopt the aura of heaven and earth, and absorb the essence of the sun and the moon. This is the treasure of the ancient temple.
Unfortunately, I've been here twice, but I haven't found the source of the spring. Once in early winter and once in early autumn, it happened that Ginkgo biloba was not in Huangshi.
But fortunately, I am not so persistent about it. Just being in an ancient temple, I already feel that the Buddha is not shallow.
What is even more rare is that the tranquility of the ancient temple is refreshing, because it missed the peak season of ginkgo viewing. There are very few people, and the solemnity of the temple can only be reflected by the ancient temple and the morning bell.
Busy, fleeting.
Guanyin under the tree is not surrounded by bustling tourists, and the noise of the world no longer permeates the foot of Mount Zhongnan. On the green tiles, everything in the world is supported. In this silent early autumn, pine and cypress exude vitality that the world has never paid attention to.
The ancient Kannonji, located at the foot of Zhong Nanshan Mountain, is extraordinary. Before the temple was destroyed, it was large in scale and once occupied an area of about 300 mu. Zen Temple is adjacent to Phoenix Mountain in the south, Fengde Temple and Jingyi Temple in Lu Zongzuting in the east and Caotang Temple in Sanlun Zuting in the west.
In the distance, the Phoenix Ridge, with its peaks rising, meditates like Guanyin Bodhisattva; Looking around, the mountains surrounded by both sides are like dragons and white tigers. Unique geomantic omen, noble and noble spirit, inheriting ancient customs.
According to legend, ancient Kannonji was built by Emperor Taizong.
During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Yuan Tiangang of Chang 'an specialized in divination and was called "the living immortal". One day, a dragon king turned into a young man and said to Yuan Tiangang, "I swear by my head that it will rain in Chang 'an tomorrow. If it rains, you will leave Chang 'an forever. " Yuan Tiangang agreed, and the Dragon King had answers. It really rained in Ann the next day.
The Dragon King became a young man here. He found Yuan Tiangang and told him to leave Chang 'an. However, Yuan Tiangang already knew his identity, and claimed that he had changed the jade emperor's will without permission, thus committing a capital crime. Hearing this, the Dragon King didn't expect this man to be so powerful, so he knelt down for help. Yuan Tiangang asked him to ask another person, it was Emperor Taizong.
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty, went hunting in Shanglin Garden and dreamed that a blue dragon asked him for help. It turned out that Yuan Tiangang had already calculated that Zheng Wei, the person around Emperor Taizong, would cut many rivers at the meridian gate. King Jinghe can only beg Emperor Taizong not to let Wei Zhi go to the Meridian Gate if he wants to save his life. Emperor Taizong agreed to Qinglong's request and ordered Wei Zhi to stay with him all the time, and not to go to the meridian gate.
However, in his dream, Wei Zhi heard the imperial edict of the Jade Emperor, that the worse gate cut the King of Jinghe River, and Wei Zheng led the imperial edict to cut the Qinglong into eighteen sections.
The dragon head was thrown in the north of Chang 'an, turned into the dragon head village, and the dragon tail was abandoned in the west of Chang 'an, which is Zhangbagou. Eighteen Duan Long was abandoned at the foot of Zhong Nanshan, nine sections were in the east of Shenquan and nine sections were in the west of Shenquan. At present, there are nine gullies winding to the west in the east and nine ditches winding to the east in the west of Kannonji. Legend has it that it was transformed from the body of the eighteen dragons, so it is said that "Kowloon protects Guanyin".
Because Emperor Taizong failed to save the Dragon King, the Dragon King often killed him in his dreams. Emperor Taizong was frightened and fell ill.
Emperor Taizong begged the Bodhisattva to cross over the Dragon King and bless himself, so he ordered the construction of Kannonji and planted a ginkgo tree himself. There is a clear spring under the ancient tree, which is clear and sweet, inexhaustible for many years and can cure diseases.
