The temple is built on the mountainside of Gushan Mountain, which is 455 meters above sea level. The front is the Incense Burner Peak and the back is Baiyun Peak. According to legend, its former site is "Huayan Temple". In the fourth year of Tang Jianzhong (783), there was Longju Lingyuan Cave ("Gu Shan Zhi": "It was a pool first, and the poisonous dragon lived in it."). , asked the eminent monk Lingqiao to enter the mountain to kill Mao and set up a platform to recite the "Huayan Sutra", thus becoming the Huayan Temple, and from then on the dragon did not harm. Now, people regard the fourth year of Jianzhong (783) as the beginning of the establishment of Yongquan Temple. When Emperor Wuzong destroyed the Buddha, Huayan Temple was destroyed. In 908, King Shenzhi, the King of Min, built a new temple called "Guo Shiguan". In 915, it was renamed as Yongquan Temple in Baiyun Peak of Gushan Mountain. During the Song Dynasty, Song Zhenzong bestowed the "Yongquan Temple". In 1407, it was renamed Yongquan Temple. In the Ming Dynasty, the temple was destroyed by fire twice, and it was repaired and expanded successively to form today's scale. In 1699, the imperial book "Yongquan Temple" conferred by Kangxi on the mud-gilt plaque still hangs above the gate of the Temple of Heavenly Kings. The majestic and magnificent Yongquan Temple is the Mahavira Hall. The other large and small halls are surrounded by the Mahavira Hall. There are three statues of Sakyamuni in the hall, as well as the solemn eighteen Arhat statues, and the three holy statues behind. In front of the three statues, there is a long table, which has not been destroyed by fires and has a long history, so it is the treasure of the main hall in the temple. There are also many precious collections of books, scriptures and other decorative items and ceramics in the temple. There are many important inscriptions or inscriptions in the temple. The interior of the temple is resplendent and solemn, which makes people dare not blaspheme the greatness of the Buddha. The temple sells homemade snacks - peace cakes, which are widely loved by tourists. The taste is soft, sweet but not greasy, which adds fun to the journey and is a must-buy item when going to Yongquan Temple.

Worth a visit
Others say. A mountain in China. If there are some temples or ancestral temples, it will look very different. Just like Qingxiu Mountain in Nanning, there is also a temple hidden on this mountain in the provincial capital. The lotus pond viewing and video and the Daxiong Palace are all between the mountains. It looks very quiet and very quiet. Citizens like to climb the mountain to exercise for the end. Although the temple requires tickets. But the red wall road behind is still very suitable for taking pictures.
1. The price of a ticket is worth 40 yuan, but if you live in Fuzhou, you should recommend an annual ticket (50 yuan, you need an ID card and an inch of photo). In fact, it is a win-win result to give some money to temples, and they earnestly use it in management. I think I feel much better when I go there today just to see the turtles in the free-life pool, and I feel very happy with their paddling postures. Many turtles inhabit a bamboo raft on the surface of the water. 2. The scenery feels that the buildings inside should carefully observe their characteristics, such as the eaves and lotus patterns, and many other places to see. Exquisite, it is worth learning by many architects nowadays. It seems that many main halls are designed with triple doors, as was the Taogong Temple in Taogong Island, East Qianhu, Ningbo. 3. The cold door walks outside a free unloading pavilion. Several elders take a rest. The sign says the process of seeking signatures. But the first one is to wash hands. When I see that there is no water in the place of seeking signatures, and then I am alone, I feel very cold. I hope the facilities will be better. I also want to ask for a signature. It's not easy for the old people to live there. I don't understand them who may be light and widowed. 4. Responsibility I went to a lot of wall rocks, tourists'garbage (plastic bottles, etc.) has not been cleaned, even in an ancient well also floating empty bottles. I really hope that parents who bring their children to the world can do their part and set an example. I even saw two little girls throw three Bottle bottles into the pool today. Mother sat on a stool beside her and played with her cell phone all the time. Without leaving her eyes, she didn't worry about the safety of her children. At the same time, the sanitation in the temple also needs the efforts of all monks. 5. Business I see that the garbage can that unifies this enterprise's donation is stainless steel. This is an old-fashioned temple. I think it should at least have a wooden appearance. The Temple needs development. I am willing to contribute a certain amount of money (ticket fees, etc.). I hope that Yongquan Temple will be better and better. At the same time, the monks are clean and mindful.
