Longyin Temple - China Travel

introduce

Longyin Temple, formerly known as "Lingyin Temple" and "Xingjiao Temple", was built in the Han and Tang Dynasties. Later Ming and Qing dynasties were expanded. There are 5 caves dug successively, including buildings such as the Upper Buddha Hall, the Peacock Hall, and the Left and Right Side Halls.

The name of Longyin Temple comes from the legend in Tang Suheng Xiata Temple. According to legend, the "Anshi Rebellion" occurred in the 14th year of Tang Tianbao (755 A.D.). Xuanzong Li Longji fled to Sichuan in a panic. To Wushiyi, Xinyou to Pingliang County..." Li Heng once collapsed in Lingyin Temple. In July of the following year, Li Heng proclaimed himself emperor in Lingwu (now south of Lingwu, Ningxia). Because the emperor is the "true dragon emperor" in people's minds, and Longyin Temple is the place where the emperor lived in seclusion, so the name "Longyin Temple" is still called today.

Longwei Mountain, where Longyin Temple is located, stretches 5 kilometers from east to west, with a vegetation area of nearly 267,000 square meters. What is particularly amazing is that on a cliff, there is a palace suspended in the air, connected to the blue sky above, facing the abyss below, covered by trees and flowers, just like a fairy pavilion, the scenery is very spectacular. There are 4 clear springs in the middle and lower part of Longwei Mountain. The spring water is clear and transparent.

There is also a "Lingqiu" on the mountain, also known as "Longquan". The spring water gushes out from the gap of a milkstone, and when it encounters a cliff, it spins and disperses. According to legend, the water of Longquan is caused by the tears of the jade dragon under the Longwei Mountain. Therefore, it is said that drinking for a long time can improve eyesight and clear away heat, cure illness and prolong life, whiten skin and moisturize skin, and black hair beautify.

As the name suggests, Longyin is the place where the real dragon emperor once took refuge. During the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, it is said that Emperor Suzong Li Heng once stayed here overnight.

The temple is built on a cliff, with hidden forests and lush bamboos, green willows and red flowers, which looks very quiet. There are four-eyed springs in the middle and lower part of the mountain. There is a spring gushing out from the crevices of the rocks, and when it encounters a cliff, it spins and disperses, resembling beads being sifted through a sieve.

The traffic is relatively inconvenient. On the mountainside behind the newly built Pingliang Museum, get off at the nearest bus stop and walk about 2 kilometers. The taxi fare will increase. The dirt road directly leads to the temple. The buildings were rebuilt around 2000. There are both Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. There are three sets. The highest one has 7 or 8 cave statues and murals. Similar to the front and rear main halls.

The road on the mountain is not easy to walk, and the directions are not very clear, but because of this, it is rare to have a quiet place here. This is a very historic temple, and there are some morning bells outside. , very quiet.
