Xianyou Temple is located in Heishuiyukou, 0/7km south of zhouzhi county. Surrounded by four mountains and a flowing river, the Ganquan Waterfall is a famous tourist attraction integrating natural and human landscapes at the western end of the southwest line of Xi. According to legend, the love story of Nong Yu and Qin Mugong's daughter Shaw History happened here. Nong Yu is good at playing the flute and has been familiar with melody since he was a child. Like-minded with romantic, elegant and talented Shaw History. She is married and lives in Yunv Cave near the temple. The melodious flute attracted Xianglong Ruifeng, and they went to immortality together. This is the origin of the allusion of "son-in-law".
In the first year of Renshou of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty (AD 60 1 year), a palace was being built, named Xianyou Palace, and now there are two temples in the north and south of Heishui River. The South Temple is called Xianyou Temple and the North Temple is called Zhongxing Temple. There is a "black pool" between the two temples, also known as Xianyou Pool. There are obstacles in Jiu Feng around the temple, and the stream is like a belt.
One of the reasons why the existing temples attract tourists is that there are many anecdotes of famous literati in past dynasties, including Ma Rong, Wang Bo, Cen Can, Li Shangyin, Zhu Qingyu, a master of Confucian classics at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and especially Bai Juyi, a famous poet, once wrote a long poem "Song of Eternal Sorrow" with the love story of Li Longji and Yang Yuhuan as the theme, which became a farewell song handed down from the times. Bai Juyi also wrote "Send the King 18 Back to the Mountain to Send a Message to Xianyou Temple": "I once lived in front of Taibai Peak and counted in Xianyou Temple. Black water is clear, the bottom of the pool is out, white clouds are broken, and the cave door is open. Warm wine in the forest burns red leaves, and poetry on the stone sweeps moss. I feel sorry for my old job, but I envy you for coming back in chrysanthemum season. " In Cen Can's "Sleeping in the Nanliang Hall of Xianyou Temple on a Winter Night is a Modest Way", the scenery of Xianyou Temple is like before our eyes: "Taiyi is even too white, and two mountains know its weight. The stone gate on the road is very narrow, and only one horse can pass. " "When the mountain was north last night, the stars heard the clock. Qin's daughter has been gone for a long time, and Sendai is here. The sound of the flute is inaudible, leaving a mark here. Shitan is colorful and throws golden dragons every year. Turbulence rushing around, as thin as thunder. " "Night WenQingQing, the moon is empty. The empty mountains are full of clear light and the water trees are exquisite. The cloister reflects dense bamboo, and the autumn hall is secluded. The shadow of the lamp fell on the front stream and stayed in the sound of water all night. " Literati and poets like the quiet and refined here, and often come to Xianyou Temple to visit and rest, sing and give it a clear spring.
Xianyou Temple is located in a valley slightly longer from east to west and shorter from north to south. This is a bay that Heihe River rushed out when it flowed out of Zhong Nanshan. It's already afternoon, the sun is setting in the west, the south is covered, the forest wall is fighting for summer, the wheat seedlings are deep and green in the east, the sun is forcing the west, and the Heihe River is clear and sparkling. Xianyou Temple, centered on the French King Pagoda, is magnificent! Quiet and solemn, different from the noise and cold outside the mountain, makes life feel a sacred and warm feeling.
In fact, this tower was built by the imperial edict of Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty and rebuilt in Tang Dynasty. As for Emperor Wendi, Emperor Wendi and traditional historians have a cultural and psychological resistance to him because he is independent rather than Zhou, and he does not enjoy poetry. His country is no longer calling, and people who like heroes in later generations don't know much about him. Even his son Yang Guang is much more famous than him. The reason is that Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty greatly praised the policy of benefiting the people and devoted himself to thrift in view of the situation of "cruel criminal administration and the collapse of popular support" (Volume I of Sui Shu) in the late Northern Zhou Dynasty. Unlike most emperors before him, he took the tolerant spirit of Buddhism as the banner and won the hearts of the world. Yang Jianyi opposed the policy of destroying Buddhism in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and promoted Buddhism. As a result, in less than 10 year, the people's hearts returned, the world was governed, the household registration was abundant, and the warehouses were surplus, which ended the 300-year separatist war and unified the whole country, laying a good foundation for the emergence of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. How did Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty govern the country with the spirit of Buddhism? This French King's Tower is the best evidence.
Standing under the tower, I looked up at the tower illuminated by the sunset. Through the cracks in the bricks eroded by wind, frost, rain and snow for more than a thousand years, I seem to see the colorful and dazzling scene of the building and hear the bells and drums of the Vatican. The most influential Buddhism of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was the construction of pagodas in 1 10 States during Renshou period (60 1-604). This tower in Xianyou Temple is one of them. In addition, according to Hong Guangming, it is the first of the first batch of 30 towers.
Before Emperor Wendi ascended the throne, a monk from Tianzhu presented a bag of Buddhist relics, saying that it was "a great feeling of death". After he acceded to the throne, he counted Zen masters with Tan Qian, but failed to make a clear statistic. In the first year of Renshou (60 1), on June 13th, Wendi's birthday, the imperial edict of the State-owned stupas in Sui Dynasty was issued, ordering the allocation of the stupas in Beijing to Yong, Qi, Jing, Tong, Hua, Pu, He, Ding, Xiang, Zheng, Song, Bo, Confucianism, Tai, Qing, Mou and Sui. "Imperial edict" said: "I return to the three treasures and revive the holy religion. Thinking about all the people in the world is bodhi, and * * * repairs blessings, so that the future will be always good and good. " Ask 30 monks to lead waiters and officials, smoke 120 Jin of Lu Xiang and distribute it to pagodas in various States. When the tower is lifted, anyone can give alms, but the money is limited to 10. If not, it can be used to serve and visit the library. 1October 15 At noon, 30 national cultural relics were put into stone envelopes and entered the tower at the same time. General manager, here is the secretariat, and above is the county commandant, who stopped military aircraft for 7 days and specialized in stupa.
Edit this paragraph to go back to the contents of Xianyou Temple-Treasures of scenic spots. Due to the construction of Xi 'an Heihe River diversion project, the gold-plated copper coffin found in Wangfata of Xianyou Temple was opened on 1998 10, and the Sui Dynasty relics 10 were found in the glass bottle in the coffin, which was the first time in China. Later, it was found that there was a stone tablet carved on both sides and a stone letter. Archaeologists derusted the heavily corroded copper coffin, gently placed the gold-plated copper coffin on the white paper in the enamel tray, carefully cleaned the silk thread remaining on the surface of the copper coffin with bamboo tweezers, and then cleaned the joint between the copper coffin cover and the coffin body with rust remover. A crack was found at the junction of the front and the coffin, and there was a filament inside. The archaeologist gently poked under the coffin lid with a bamboo stick, and the other hand held the copper coffin, and the coffin lid was gently opened. The copper coffin was wrapped in a small pile of silk fabric. After cleaning the wrapped silk articles, a beautiful glass bottle is displayed. The height of the glass bottle is 4.6 cm, and the outer diameter is 1.3 cm. There are 10 relics in the bottle.
According to historical records, Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty was raised in Fengyi prajna temple since childhood. When he grew up and returned to the Yang family, the girl Ni Zhixian gave him a bag of relics ***3 1 piece. In 60 1 year, he ordered 3 1 state to build pagodas for worship, and at the same time entered pagodas, including Wang Fata of Xian You Temple in Xi 'an. At present, the situation of the other 30 towers and relics is unknown. The excavation of relics, the construction of reservoirs and the reconstruction of temple towers all mean that Xianyou ancient temple has ushered in a new era.
