The Tang Dynasty Ji 'en Temple Ruins Park is small in scale, only more than 35,000 square meters. It is located in the east of the East Pedestrian Street of Big Wild Goose Pagoda, north of Ci 'en Road, southwest of Furong East Road, west of Ji 'en Temple and north of Shaanxi Opera Grand View Garden. As a part of the Wild Goose Pagoda leisure cultural scenic spot, it is a tourist attraction closely related to the theme of the big scenic spot. Originally Qujiangchuan Small Park, it was rebuilt in 2007 and renamed Tang Daqiong Temple Ruins Park. After upgrading in 2020, it reopened on May 1 day.
The Ji 'en Temple Ruins Park in the Tang Dynasty, which we see now, is a theme park of Buddhist culture with royal gardens and Buddhist temples as the main body, conveying Buddhist cultural connotations with China characteristics such as "Zen enlightenment" and "harmony between man and nature".
The park was built on the site of Renji Hall in Tang Dynasty. The Ji 'en Temple in the Tang Dynasty was built by Crown Prince Li Zhi (Tang Gaozong) in the 22nd year of Tang Zhenguan (648) to commemorate his mother, Empress Wende, and was given the "Great Ji 'en Temple". According to records, the temple area at that time was very large, which was the largest in the Tang Dynasty, equivalent to 7 times of the existing temples. Monk Xuanzang was the first person to attend the ceremony. In the third year of Tang Yonghui (652), Xuanzang came back from India and brought back a large number of scriptures and relics, so he asked Gaozong to build the Wild Goose Pagoda in the temple, which became the most important translation field at that time. Because Xuanzang's Buddhism Sect is the Sect that only knows the law, also known as Ci 'en Sect and Fa Xiang Sect, Ci 'en Sect became the ancestral home of the Sect that only knows the law, that is, the Imperial Palace and the National Translation Institute at that time. It belongs to Jinchang Square in the south of Chang 'an, facing Daming Palace in the north and south, Qujiang in the southeast and the beautiful apricot garden in the southwest. It is Chang 'an.
After 65,438+0,300 years of vicissitudes, Dajiju was destroyed and rebuilt many times after the Tang Dynasty. Only the Wild Goose Pagoda is intact, and the existing temples are only the West Pagoda at that time. 1988, Funabashi, Japan became a sister city with Xi 'an, and Chuanxiao Park was built on the site of the former Tang Ji 'en Temple. Now there is a monument of Sino-Japanese Buddhist cultural exchange in Jionji Ruins Park in the Tang Dynasty.
The scenic spots of Ji 'en Temple Ruins Park in Tang Dynasty were built according to the legends and historical records of Ji 'en Temple, which inherited the atmospheric style of royal gardens at that time and had the dual functions of site protection and life park. There are many stone carvings of famous pastoral poems in Tang Dynasty, which are full of poetry and charm, showing the poetic style of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, thus reappearing the social outlook of the prosperous Tang Dynasty empire with prosperous economy and poetry.
The Ji 'en Temple Ruins Park in the Tang Dynasty was not as crowded as the North and South Square of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, nor as noisy as the city that never sleeps in the Tang Dynasty. The scenery is different and pleasant all year round, enjoying peony in spring and enjoying the cool in summer, seeing ginkgo in autumn and stepping on the snow in winter. Especially when you come to the Peony Garden to enjoy the flowers in April, you will definitely think of a well-known poem by Liu Yuxi, a famous poet in the Tang Dynasty, "Only the peony is a true national color, and the capital moves when it blooms", crossing the capital Chang 'an where the peony is in full bloom. By the middle and early days of 1 1, large ginkgo forests inside and outside the south gate set off the charm of the Tang Dynasty and became a good place for Xi 'an people to enjoy ginkgo.
If you visit the Grand View Garden of Shaanxi Opera, you can see a row of stone pillars and stone carvings of Tang poetry all over the garden from the north gate, as well as an ancient tree. Then there are Sakura Cang Monument, Stone Buddha, Infinite Friendship Monument, Qujiang Xiao Chun, Shi Xia, Gaozong Temple, Xuanzang Pagoda, Tathagata, Tang Dynasty Ji 'en Temple Site, Baishitan, Guting Waterfall, Wumayu Cup, Liulang Pavilion, Bird Watching Creek, Zhuliguan and Stone Pagoda.
In the Tathagata Square and Ruins Square in the Ursa Hall, you can overlook the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. One Buddha and one pagoda constitute a perfect picture of Buddhist culture. From Xiao Chun in Qujiang to the south are Le Wanjin, Jian Zhen and Konghai sculptures of Qujiang Qin Opera. In the ruins park, no matter which direction you look, you can see the landmark building of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Scenic Area-the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
