Yong'an Temple

Yong'an Temple was built in Jin, destroyed in the war and rebuilt in the Yuan Dynasty. Yong'an Temple now retains the Temple of Heavenly Kings and the Temple of the authenticity of the Fa is the original thing of the Yuan Dynasty. There is a Mobao "semble" of the first generation of abbots outside the Temple of the authenticity of the Fa. The temple is the true trace of the Yuan calligrapher Xue Xue monk. The temple retains a complete mural of the land and water field, the most famous is the Ming king who tear open the anger and reveal the compassionate, under the means of thunder, is the heart of the Bodhisattva.

Yong'an Temple and Yuanjue Temple were built in the Jin Dynasty, and locals called Yong'an Temple "big temple" and Yuanjue Temple "small temple". The existing authentic temple of the Yong'an Temple is a legacy of the Yuan Dynasty, and the rest of the buildings were built in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The most distinctive is the four walls of the temple preserved complete murals, the color is still, the wall god Buddha, can be called a national treasure.

The ancient construction of the Yuan Dynasty, the murals of the Ming Dynasty, the ten Ming kings and various Buddhist figures, are very shocking, it is recommended to find an interpreter.

The most desirable part of the trip was unexpected encounters. Turned around to a strange place, but inadvertently met something that made me forget. This is a surprise in the trip. If you don't see the introduction of Yong'an Temple in the hanging temple, I am afraid that you will miss the most special monastery at the foot of this Hengshan Mountain Yong'an Temple. Yong'an Temple is located in the northeast of Hunyuan County. According to the "Da Yong'an Temple Ming", Yong'an Temple was built in the Jin Dynasty and destroyed in fire. At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Hunyuan Gaoding father and son rebuilt on the ruins on a large scale, forming the current pattern. Yong'an Temple is not large in scale, less than 100 meters long, only 50 meters wide, three courtyards (the third hospital was destroyed in 1945), how not to be large in scale, but it is unique in regulation, leaving architectural components, murals and other art boutiques, of which murals are rare in the Yuan Dynasty, very artistic value. Yong'an Temple Mountain Gate Wuyan, covered with yellow glazed top, two dragons on both sides of the wall of the eight-character fan, historically known as the Great Escape Gate. The mountain gate of the temple is usually one or three gates, and the Yongan Temple has five gates, the same rules as the Wutaishan Tayuan Temple and the Beijing Beihai Yongan Temple, but both are royal temples. It is said that in 1242, Kublai Zun Feng Linji was decent, received the Bodhisattva's big commandment from Haiyun Yinjian Monk, and ordered Zhao Meng 𫖯 to write the "Linji Authentic Monument", and regarded Rong Zhonghe Yi Haiyun and Yifa disciples as Linji Authentic, and promoted Linjizong's prestige. Haiyun monk's uncle Beijing Tanzhao Temple is one of the 17 ways of Rongyu. Guiyun Temple was invited by Yunzhong (Datong) at that time, the Marshal of the Du, and the Yong'an Army Festival to visit Hunyuan to renovate Yong'an Temple and become the first ancestor of Yong'an Temple. To date, there is still a Haiyun print in Beijing Tanzhao Temple, the "Guiyun Da Zen Pagoda" built by the Buddhist monk. The Mongolians first believed in Jingjiao, and then Kublai promoted Tibetan Buddhism. So in the process of re-repairing in the later generations, Yong'an Temple has integrated elements of Jingjiao and Tibetan Buddhism. But from the perspective of murals and statues, the monastery also integrates Taoism and Chinese mythology into it. So, from the perspective of monastery regulation and the status of creating a Buddhist master, Yong'an Temple is likely to be built by Fengxu. But the monument has not been recorded in any text, the scale of the monastery is not like the royal monastery, plus the monastery elements, adding a lot of mystery to the Yong'an Temple. The temple has three major treasures of architecture, murals and calligraphy. The temple of the Yong'an Temple is rebuilt by Gaoding's grandson Gao Yu Yuen Yanxu in 1315. The temple is a five-open temple with a plaque set up by Qianlong for 45 years, a griffin bottle and elephant bottle, which means "things (lion) peace" and "auspicious (elephant) peace". On both sides are the two major guardian heavens of Daojia Baxian and Buddha. There is a Tenglong on the appendix, and the dragon heads are raised. The flat chess algae well in the hall is extremely delicate. The original main statue is an octagonal algae well on the top, with two 48-story arches and two relief dragons in the center. There is a tilted hexagonal algae well in front of the octagonal algae well, facing the face of the Buddha statue. There are also a lot of exquisite paintings on the surface of the beams and columns in the hall. In addition, there is a landscape teaching building modelling on the top of the mountain gate, which can be seen as a combination of Western column and Chinese architecture. The four walls of the authentic temple of the law are painted with grand murals, with a total area of 187 square meters, and are painted with the ten Ming kings and the immortals and land fields. The ten Ming kings are the angry Ming kings of the five Buddhas and the five Bodhisattvas. The land and water field gathered three worlds, four days, five lakes, four seas of immortals and emperors, civil and military officials, concubines, people and other mortal figures. Especially the huge ten Ming kings, majestic and angry, lifelike. The six characters of the Great Hall, "the authentic hall of the law", are the calligraphy of the Yuan Dynasty monks and calligraphy of everyone in Xueqian. The north and south exterior walls are written with giant calligraphy characters, and the south wall is written by the two words "Zhuang" and "Yan", which are about3.8 meters high, and by the Moon Creek monk who was the abbot of Yong'an Temple in 1315-1342. On the back there are four big words "Hu Xiaolong Yin", written by Zhang Shu during the Qianlong period. Outside the Buddha Hall, writing giant characters is also rare in the Buddhist temple buildings.

In the ancient city of Hunyuan, the immortal Yuanming murals that have been enduring for thousands of years are hidden in a temple that is left behind and independent of the world, Yong'an Temple. It is never open to the outside world to shoot, the main hall of the authentic temple of the mural content is very rich, Buddha, Tao, Confucian, immortal, heaven, earth, hell almost all, especially the ten Ming king statues, rich in shape and colorful, can be described as "Wu belt wind, Cao Yi water". ​ Yong'an Temple was built in the Jin Dynasty and was destroyed in the fire. The Yuanming and Qing Dynasties have been rebuilt many times. The Mingjian of the Grand Hall was originally a question of the Xueyan monk in the beginning of Yuan.
