A group of ancestral buildings in Jinci can be said to have brought the sacrificial function to the extreme. Going west across Huixian Bridge, it is an ancient lotus platform. Crossing the Yuefang is the hall of dedication,


The core group composed of Uonuma Flying Beams and the Temple of Our Lady. There are three rooms dedicated to the hall and the body of the hall, resting on the top of the mountain, and there are no walls around. Be careful to open the front and back doors.


When worshiping the gods, burn a stick of incense, and the gas of the five grains will put people in the mysterious environment surrounded by clouds and mist and green smoke, so that people's minds will involuntarily produce some subtle changes and reach the sky. , a wonderful harmony between man and nature.


The fish marsh flying beam is between the Notre Dame Hall and the Dedicated Hall. The ancients called the "fish marsh" the round one as the pool, and the square one as the marsh. There are many fish in the marsh; , as if flying." Therefore, it is called "Flying beam". The east and west bridge decks are wide, which is the main road leading to the Notre Dame Hall, while the north and south bridge decks are sloping down like two wings of a bird, ready to fly;


The side is decorated with hook rails, and you can enjoy the scenery by leaning on the railings, adding to the poetic and picturesque flavor. Mr. Liang Sicheng, an architect, said: "This type of stone pillar bridge is occasionally seen in ancient paintings, but the real thing is only an isolated example, which is very valuable." Further examination of its function is more like an altar with four connections.


Yu worship is a major event among the people. Therefore, to pray for rain in spring drought, one must first choose an auspicious day, that is, a day of water such as Renchen, and then build an eight-foot-square four-way altar in the east of the city, offering eight raw fish, Xuanjiu, Preserved meat is used as a sacrifice.


On day A and day B, make a big green dragon eight feet long, place it in the center, and make seven small green dragons four feet long, facing the east, and stand eight feet apart from each other. Let the eight children and Tian Yufu eight people fast for three days, and Tsing Yi stand beside the dragon.


The ceremony begins with the sound of drums and music, children and Tian Xi dancing wildly, and then the eloquent witch Zhu, who is almost in a state of ecstasy, recites the sacrificial words, dances with hands and feet to pray for rain...


No matter how the form changes, the Canglong has always been an unfailing motif of our national culture. From the hexagrams of "flying dragons in the sky, benefit to see the adults" to the Lingxing Festival, from the silent and mysterious hexagrams to the deafening ritual drums,


Which doesn't revolve around this motif? This motif has magical vitality. It did not end in the sacrifices of the Han Dynasty. Instead, it will germinate steadily among the people, blossom and bear fruit, and evolve into folk cultural forms that have never faded, such as dragon dancing with dragon lanterns, and dragons playing with pearls...


In the Qinglong Dance of the Yu Festival, the prototype factors of the dragon dance, dragon lantern and large-scale dragon dance have already been planted; the dancing boy is the later lead dancer holding the wave beads, and the tough male miser is the later dragon dancer. There are many temples in general.


Most of them are small niches and individual small buildings, and the use of the environment is adapted to local conditions and flexible layout according to different conditions, all over the countryside. The spatial layout of large-scale temples is often divided into primary and secondary, symmetrical in the central axis; developed in depth, arranged in a linear manner;


The winding path leads to a secluded place, and if you want to promote it, you first restrain it; it is complex but not chaotic, and it is magnificent; it has centripetal layout, horizontal arrangement and other forms, while the layout of Jinci Temple has both. Reasonable space. The scale of the water mirror is magnificent,


The eastern part of the stage is the top of the mountain with double eaves, which is used as the backstage during the performance. use.


No matter what kind of sacrificial activities to reward the gods and fulfill the vows among the people, it is always necessary to perform various dances and music to entertain the gods and people. Due to the hard life of the ancient people, who worked hard all the year round, only had enough to eat, and had limited leisure time. In order to adjust their lives, they often took the opportunity of offering sacrifices to encourage and celebrate.


This kind of folk sacrificial ceremony of welcoming the gods and competitions has the characteristics of openness, etiquette and entertainment. "Huainanzi Spiritual Training" contains: "Today's poor and humble society, knocking on the basin, singing in harmony, and singing in harmony, naturally It's fun." "Tokyo Menghualu" records the grand occasion of the birthday of Shenbao Guanshen outside Bianjing City in the Northern Song Dynasty:


"On the 24th, the birthday of Erlang Xiguankou in Zhouzhou was the most prosperous. The temple was about a mile outside the Wansheng Gate, and it was bestowed with Shenbaoguan. , and danced with each other... On the twenty-fourth day, various officials and common people from all walks of life offered a lot of gifts, and the company fire was displayed on the terrace."


Jinci Temple has three wonders, one is Zhou Bai and Tang Huai. Zhoubai is a cypress planted in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and Tang Huai is a pagoda tree planted in the Tang Dynasty, and they are still lush and lush. The second is the painted sculptures of the Song Dynasty in the Notre Dame Hall. The last of the three unique skills is the Fountain of Hard Aging.


Among the 43 painted statues remaining in the Hall of the Virgin Mary, the ones that impressed me the most are the original sculptures of the early Song Dynasty, except for the small statues on both sides of the statue of the Virgin Mary that were added later. The Madonna in the curtain in the middle of the main hall, wearing a phoenix crown, has a quiet and kind face, sitting cross-legged on a wooden square seat,


One hand is placed on the chest, the other is placed on the leg, and the fingers are hidden in the sleeves. The python robe on the body hangs down to the seat along the knees, and the whole statue looks stable and dignified. Each of these maids has a relatively distinct personality and shows different temperament and charm.


Some seemed to be greeting and smiling, and some seemed to be whispering. The painted maids were all shaped with delicate faces, round and pretty, and calm and composed. From the side of these painted maids, you can almost feel their breath and pulse, as if you can hear the whispers of the young maids, expressing the life and emotions of young women in the Song Dynasty.


Thus, it also reflects the artistic characteristics of Song Dynasty sculpture that pays attention to the psychological depiction of characters. In addition to its own three wonders, Jinci Temple also preserves the "three wonders" in ancient Chinese architecture: one is the Hall of the Virgin. The second is the wooden carved dragon on the pillar in front of the hall.


This is the earliest surviving carved dragon column in my country, carved in the second year of Song Yuanyou (1087). Each of the eight dragons holds a large pillar, with glaring eyes and sharp claws. The wind around them is born from the clouds, and they are full of vitality. Although it has been nearly a thousand years ago, their scales, armor and beards still seem to fly. exquisite. The third is the fish marsh flying beam in front of the hall.


This is a square lotus pond. A cross-shaped flying beam was erected on the marsh, supported by 34 octagonal stone pillars below. The railings and watchtowers beside the bridge have strange shapes, and you can walk around at will on the footbridge. This kind of cross flying beam that breaks through the line,


It is also rare in ancient buildings in our country. In terms of details, Jinci Temple also has many wonderful features: at the Sanqi branch of Nanlaoquan in Jinci Temple, there is a small stone tower called "the mainstay", also known as Zhanglang Tower. The stone tower is no more than two meters high, with a lotus base underneath.


In the middle are multi-sided stone pillars, and on the top are eaves brakes. It was built to commemorate Zhang Lang who won the Seven Eyes. Tasha has been touched very smooth by tourists. "The trickling and difficult old spring diverts to the side of the Jinci Temple, and there is Changshengping in it, which is always the same in winter and summer."


There is a thrilling legend in Zhang Langta: Hundreds of years ago, farmers in the north and south villages here often fought with each other for water. The drier the weather, the harder the fight. Later, the government said that they wanted to "mediate" the dispute, so they set up a boiling oil pan by the pool,


Put ten copper coins in the pot and say: Whoever can take out a few copper coins from the pot in public will share the amount of water in the future. After the judgment, there will be no disputes forever. At this time, a young man walked out from the crowd in Beiqu. He bravely reached out and took out seven copper coins from the oil pan, so the farmers in Beiqu will always get seven points of water.


But the young man was severely scalded and died on the spot! The young man's surname is Zhang, and he is from Huata Village near Jinci Mountain. People call him Zhang Lang. To commemorate him, the people of Beiqu buried his bones under the "mainstay". In order to divide the water, a stone embankment was built on the east side of the pillar, and ten round holes were dug in the waist of the embankment, three in the south and seven in the north.


Another herringbone weir was built on the east embankment as a watershed between the north and south canals, so as to prevent the water from mixing after exiting the embankment. The north water flows into the Zhibo Canal, and has been managed by Zhang in the village. There is a brick pagoda at the foot of Xuanweng Mountain behind the Jin Temple, which was built in the 13th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1748). The ancient pagoda was built on the hillside, with a large brick base underneath and a vase-shaped tower body on the top. There should have been a brake on the top, but it has been lost. There is a brick carving "No Barriers" under the tower, and a stone inscription on the brick base. , wrote the three characters "Wanfo Pagoda" and "Daqing Qianlong Thirteenth Year Wuchen Zhongxia Gudan", "Chi Feng Wenlin is the editor of the Imperial Academy Yang Tingxuanli",


"Seng Jizun, the abbot of Fengsheng Temple". This pagoda and the relic tower are both buildings of Fengsheng Temple. The burning light tower of Tongzi Temple is on Longshan Mountain, Jinci Town. The temple was founded in the seventh year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty (556) by Zen master Hongli, who was supported by Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty Gao Yang.


Seeing that the mountain stone looks like the World Honored One, a Buddha statue is engraved on it, which is 57 meters taller, so it is named Tongzi Temple. Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty Gaoyang Zengdeng Temple overlooking the city of Bingzhou (now Taiyuan). Emperor Gaozong of Tang Dynasty Li Zhi and Empress Wu Zetian visited Zenglai Temple in Bingzhou in the early years of Xianqing (660) to pay homage to the giant Buddha and the "Jinyang Xishan Giant Buddha" in Beigu Kaihua Temple.


He also gave cassocks to the two Buddhas. In the first year of Jin Tianfu (1117), the temple was destroyed by war, rebuilt in the first year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1522), and repaired in Qianlong and Jiaqing of Qing Dynasty.


The walls of the site are now clear, the stone chambers still exist, and the temple buildings and their stone Buddha statues have long since disappeared. The Relic Burning Light Stone Pagoda is the oldest existing stone lighthouse in the country. It is 4.12 meters high and has a hexagonal plane. It is divided into four parts: the tower base, the tower body, the tower lamp and the tower top. The base of the tower is half a meter high, with a circumference of 5.2 meters. On the top, the tower neck is 0.85 meters high and 2.35 meters in circumference.


There is a lamp panel with a height of 0.4 meters and a circumference of 5.3 meters. The tower lamp on the body of the tower is one meter high and 4.4 meters in circumference. It is hollow and used for lighting. The top of the top tower is hollow and used for smoke, half a meter high, and the tower body is hexagonal. The edges are badly weathered. The lower girdle base is about half of the full height, and the tower body is hollow.


Built-in light chamber, doors open on three sides, smoke exhaust from the top. The proportion of the tower body is moderate and the shape is beautiful. Although it has gone through more than 1,400 years of wind and rain, it is still the same. It is the oldest known lamp-burning stone pagoda in my country. In 1969, it was built for protection, and it is a key provincial cultural relics protection unit.


There are cliffs in the west of the tower. The southeast of the cliff stone is about 30 meters wide and more than ten meters high. About 25 centimeters, there are two other afterimages, about one meter high. To the east, there is a huge stone remnant of the head of the Buddha. The ears and cheeks are about 1.5 meters high, and there are many square eyes.


The relic tower on the left side of the Jinci Temple is a famous historic site in Fengsheng Temple. According to legend, it is named after the relic, a treasure of eternal life, buried under the tower. The pagoda was built in the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty (589 to 604), rebuilt in the Song Dynasty, and was seriously destroyed by the early Qing Dynasty. The monk Shanxiu of Fengsheng Temple is determined to rebuild it. He got funds from alms,


It was rebuilt in the 16th year of Qianlong (1751). The tower is 38 meters high, octagonal and seven-level, with glass trimming, beautiful outline, tall and straight. There is a spiral stepping path in the tower to climb to the top of the tower. Each floor has four doors and eight windows.


If you admire the pagoda at sunset, you will also see a day of cloud brocade and a glorious landscape full of pagodas. It is known as one of the eight scenic spots outside Jinci Temple "Pagoda Phixia". On the first-level pagoda gate, there is a plaque inscribed by Yang Eryou with the four characters "Xing Ming Dong Hua".


There are four brick plaques on each level above the second level, and a total of twenty brick plaques are embedded on the tower wall. These plaques are all made by Yang Eryou. There are Buddha statues on each floor of the original pagoda. The courtyard on the west side of the pagoda courtyard is called Liushan Garden. There are two pavilions in the garden, one is called Liushan Pavilion and the other is called Banyun Pavilion. According to legend, in the thirty-seventh year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1558), Xuanweng Mountain moved eastward for two hours and stopped not far from Liushan Pavilion. Later generations built a pavilion here and named it Liushan Pavilion. Banyun Pavilion is named after it was built at the original Banqudong site.


Both pavilions were rebuilt in 1984. Opposite the Banyun Pavilion is a huge bright wall, about seven meters wide, on which the brick engraving "The Story of Baiyue Mountain House" is the work of Yang Eryou. The full text is 186 characters, and the characters are five inches square.


In the Notre Dame Hall, you can already see the pagoda standing majestically on the southwest corner of Jinci Temple. Passing through a pond, passing a wall full of creepers, walking a narrow road, there is a high red wall on the east side of the road, under the wall there are a few trees with fine white flowers, whose names are unknown, the flowers match the wall,


The red and white are vivid and vivid. There are not many passers-by, probably tourists seldom go to such a remote place, the road makes a slight turn, and suddenly they arrive at the foot of the tower. It began to rain lightly at this time, and I walked to the pagoda alone. It is located in Nanrui, Jinci, with a glazed tile roof. From a distance, the towering ancient pagoda, reflecting the blue sky and white clouds in the village, is very spectacular.


The relic tower is located in the Futu courtyard in the north of Fengsheng Temple. The pagoda was built in the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty and rebuilt in the Song Dynasty, but it was seriously destroyed by the early Qing Dynasty. Shanxiu, a monk of Fengsheng Temple, was determined to rebuild the pagoda. He went around for alms and finally got enough funds to rebuild it in the 16th year of Emperor Qianlong (1751 A.D.). The tower is 38 meters high, with 8 corners and 7 floors, with glass trimming, beautiful outline, tall and straight. There is a spiral stepping path inside the tower, and you can climb to the top of the tower. There are 4 doors and 8 windows on each floor. If you admire the pagoda at sunset, you will also see a magnificent landscape of brocade clouds and the pagoda full of brilliance, which is known as "the pagoda is covered with clouds". It is said that Sakyamuni Nirvana 2,500 years ago, his ashes formed 84,000 bead-shaped real relics, one of which was buried under the pagoda. During the reign of Qianlong, the pagoda was rebuilt, and it was found that one changed into hundreds, and hundreds of grains became thousands. Buddhism has a spirit, endless life? So it was named "Sarisheng Tower".


Fengsheng Temple was originally a villa built by Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozu of Tang Dynasty, for the great general Yuchi Jingde. In the fifth year of Tang Gaozu Wude, that is, in 622 A.D., General Jingde set up a Buddhist hall to save all living beings, so he donated his villa and changed it into a temple. The full name is Shifang Fengsheng Temple, also known as Shajiachang. The relic tower is located in the Futu courtyard in the north of Fengsheng Temple. The plaque on the gate of the first-level pagoda is inscribed with the four characters "Xingming Donghua". There are four brick plaques on each level above the second-level, and a total of 20 brick plaques are embedded on the tower wall. These plaques are all made by Yang Eryou. Yang Eryou (1705-1780), styled Xueshan and named Liunan, was born in Jinci Temple, Taiyuan, Qing Dynasty.


In 1733 (the eleventh year of Yongzheng), he was a Jinshi in the middle school, awarded the editorship of the Imperial Academy, and served as the calligraphy teacher of Qianlong. In 1739 (the fourth year of Qianlong), he inspected Taiwan as a censor and concurrently studied Neo Confucianism. In his later years, he returned to his hometown Jinci Temple and made many contributions to the scenic spots of Jinci Temple. This interesting courtyard on the west side of the tower courtyard is called Liushan Garden. There are two pavilions in the garden, one is called Liushan Pavilion and the other is called Banyun Pavilion. According to legend, in the 37th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1558), Xuanweng Mountain moved eastward for more than two hours and stopped at a place not far from Liushan Pavilion. Later generations built a pavilion here and named it Liushan Pavilion. Banyun Pavilion is named after it was built at the site of the original Banyun Cave. The two pavilions are now rebuilt in 1984. The huge bright wall opposite the Banyun Pavilion is about 7 meters wide. The brick carving on the wall is the work of Yang Eryou. The full text has 186 characters, and the characters are 5 inches square. It is a precious calligraphy and brick carving artwork. In addition, there are "hanging pine" that Yuchi Jingde rested in Fengsheng Temple, "pine and cypress" planted by the general himself, and precious ancient trees such as revived locust tree full of magical colors. In short, the humanistic connotation of Fengsheng Temple is extremely rich.


According to reports, the Jinci Museum in Shanxi discovered eight glazed dragons on the top of the tower for the first time when it was protecting and repairing the relic tower in the museum. These glazed dragons are made of bright yellow, green, blue, white, purple and other glaze colors, shaped and fired with relief carving techniques, and can be called the best glazes in the Qing Dynasty. The glazed dragon is about 3.4 meters high, in the shape of an inverted fan with eight petals, the top is small and the bottom is big, and each petal represents a direction. Each dragon consists of 48 to 50 glazed tiles.


Each glazed tile has its orientation and order. The sculptures of the eight dragons are exquisite and colorful. Some sit cross-legged, some fly, some soar into the sky, and some turn over into the sea. They are all in different shapes. With the pattern background of flowers, auspicious clouds and sea water, they are lifelike. The director of the ancient construction department of Jinci Museum said that due to the long-term disrepair of the relic tower, many cracks appeared in the brick-built tower body, and the outer rock of the tower base was severely eroded by weathering and rain, and a large area of ​​peeling appeared.


In addition, due to the rain leaking from the top of the tower, the inside of the tower began to be eroded by rainwater. The newly discovered glazed dragon tiles and ridge decorations on the top of the tower are dilapidated and falling off. The local area invested more than 1.6 million yuan to repair the brick pagoda, and the danger has been ruled out. Later I left Jinci Temple in the rain, took the 308 bus back to the train station, crossed the road to eat at Lanzhou Ramen Restaurant, the street in front was being renovated, three men had already arrived, and were sitting there waiting for the food to be served, so I picked a seat Come down, and then ordered the noodles, soon the three men ate the noodles first, and they didn't leave after eating, but sat at the table smoking, staring at me while smoking, one of the guys with a problem eye While smoking and spitting, I was very aggrieved by this meal.


After leaving the restaurant, I went back to the hotel, packed up my equipment, checked out, got a deposit of 100 yuan, walked across the road to the station, took the 901 bus to the outside of the airport, and walked for more than half an hour before arriving at the waiting room After checking out the boarding pass, I found a place to write a diary. Later, an old couple came over and started using very advanced electronic products. I received several phone calls while waiting for the plane. First, Mr. Deng from Tianjin Direct Selling Group called me. He said that my certificate had been approved, and he told me to go through the medical examination as soon as possible. It seems that their company is still waiting for me to go to South Africa.

I suddenly received a call at 14:59. The person who spoke was very rude. I thought it was a spam call and was about to hang up because the call was so inexplicable. He lied to me because Miss Qin just called to inform tomorrow There was a meeting, and the liar yelled that I would come to the meeting tomorrow. Naturally, I thought it was Ms. Qin’s colleague. The liar also started cheating on the way. He told me to go directly to his office when I arrived in Shenzhen tomorrow. Tomorrow he will start defrauding me of money on the grounds that the leader will give gifts when he visits.
