Two hundred and seventy-one festival five immortals
Cui Hantang thought that you had already granted the land to Lingao Church! You foreign slave!
He left the house with a lot of gratitude, walked to the corner and spat: "When a villain succeeds, he needs people to move forward, but he doesn't need people to stay behind. What the hell." After saying this, he couldn't help but feel worried again.
Get up: It seems that Liu Xiang has a grudge because he made a fool of himself in front of him? He just helped him get rid of the cult and started talking like an official. What will happen next? What a headache.
However, it is still a good deal to get the Five Immortals Temple. Liu Xiang said "it is not too expensive", which is being polite. Speaking of the Five Immortals Temple, it is one of the largest Taoist temples in Guangzhou, with a wide area and many temples.
.There are countless temple properties inside and outside the city.
Naturally, Liu Xiang would not let such a big fat man slip away easily. Due to religious policy and food-eating issues, he could not ask the National Army to break in and drive away the Taoist priests. Unfortunately, in this Taoist temple, there is no such thing as today's or Taoist priests.
Liu Xiang, the god master of all the emperors of the past, could not find any evidence that they had committed "against the Senate". So after entering the city, he set up a gallows at the intersection in front of the Taoist temple and hanged people every day. He would "inspect the Taoist temple" every now and then.
"Hygiene" and "household registration checks", several health policemen squatted at the door, and Taoist priests "strictly enforced the law" whenever they spit or throw garbage when they went out... The veteran Taoist who presided over could not bear this torment, and he heard that the Australians wanted to "rectify religious landlords"
, then quietly took Xinruan and ran away with his trusted disciples.
If the people ran away, the Taoist temple would be considered "ownerless". Although the old Taoist priest took away all the house deeds and land deeds when he ran away, these things were invented by the Ming Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty could not admit it. Thousands of acres outside the city
The land and the hundreds of properties in the city cannot be taken away. Liu Xiang asked someone to make a new batch of land deeds, even if it falls into the hands of the city government.
Cui Hantang proudly took Qingyun and Xiaoqian to take over the Five Immortals Monastery. The Taoist priests inside had all packed up and dispersed since the money for running away was cut off. There were only a few Taoist priests with nowhere to go.
, still resting in the Taoist temple, receiving some money and rice from the city government every month to survive and maintain the temple.
Cui Hantang took the document to "receive" it. Naturally, the Taoist Taoists did not dare to say no. Cui Hantang asked them to lead the way and took a tour of the palace. They were very satisfied, not to mention the large scale, numerous houses and warehouses.
The various robes, magical instruments and tens of thousands of Taoist books stored in the sutra collection building are a wealth, and it is said that there are many lost "secret books" among them.
"Old Liu is quite loyal..."
Cui Hantang saw the rich inventory here, and Liu Xiang's status in his mind slightly improved. With the excitement that he had "one-third of an acre", he began to figure out how to allocate these houses and palaces, and occupy them himself.
Which courtyard should be built, what renovations should be carried out, etc. - Of course it should be given to Daoist Zhang, and Daoist Dai’s house must be kept as well, and there must still be some sense of propriety...
"The most important thing is to ask Daoist Dai to quickly get himself a letter of appointment from Guangzhou - no, Guangdong, the general person in charge of the New Taoism... and the presiding officer of the Five Immortals Temple!" He thought to himself, "It doesn't matter.
, let’s occupy the land first!”
However, what he was most concerned about was what was mentioned in the letter that Zhang Daozhang sent him.
In the letter, Taoist Zhang asked him to find a suitable piece of land to open a new Taoist primary school and middle school when he was enclosing land for the New Taoism in Guangzhou.
"...In the old days, every sect in Japan opened its own elementary and middle schools. Not to mention Catholicism, Christianity had church middle schools, and even Buddhist sects had their own middle schools. This is advanced experience, and we should follow it...
"...Considering the general hostility of the Senate to religious groups, this plan should be kept secret. You should pay close attention to it while you are in Canton and occupy a suitable plot of land so that we can use it at any time when the time comes."
From all aspects, this is indeed a place where a school can be run. Cui Hantang thought, but there is no chance of running an elementary school or a middle school in the past ten years-it is still possible to open a Taoist training school.
A medium-sized sailboat docked at Tianzi Pier, and a dozen young people in green preacher robes got off the ship. They were both men and women, all carrying large and small packages. There were also several in the crowd wearing Chinese tunic suits.
The young men with short hair carefully carried several wooden boxes, and the group of people looked curiously at the city of Guangzhou in the dusk. A fat man in Taoist robes hurriedly greeted him at the guard box on the pier. When the young man at the head saw the fat man, he stretched out his hand.
hold:
"Hello, Taoist Cui, I'm Fu Meng, and I'm here to help you deliver the projector. Cui Hantang doesn't know Fu Meng, but from his title, he should be a veteran. Judging from his age, he should be one of the few middle school students who played truant.
One member?
While exchanging pleasantries, Cui Hantang asked everyone to get on several sedan chairs, and the group went straight to the new home of New Taoism in Guangzhou: "Five Immortals Temple".
The Five Immortals Temple is located in the west of the city, not far from Ziming Tower. This place is actually very famous. In ancient times, in addition to Yuexiu Mountain, there were three ancient mountains in the city: Po Mountain, Yu Mountain, and Fan Mountain. Of course, it is said to be a mountain.
, is actually a slightly higher mound. Except for Yushan, which was chiseled down when Tianyou opened up the city in the fourth year of the late Tang Dynasty, the other two "mountains" are still there. Poshan is where the Five Immortals Temple is located, and is one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng.
The location of "Shidongtian",
The Five Immortals Temple in this time and space was built in the 10th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1377). It is a temple to worship the Five Immortals (Five Grains). According to legend, during the reign of King Zhou Yi, there were five immortals riding five-headed sheep with ears of grain in their mouths.
He flew to Guangzhou and gave the ears of grain to the people of Guangzhou, wishing that there would never be a famine in Guangzhou. After saying this, the immortal flew away in the sky and turned the sheep into stone. Therefore, Guangzhou is also called Yangcheng and Suicheng. In order to commemorate the five immortals, people built the Five Immortals.
In the temple, a statue of the Five Immortals riding a sheep was made and enshrined in the temple.
After everyone got off the sedan, they saw a Taoist temple with green glazed tiles sitting north to south. The main hall has double eaves and rests on the top of the mountain. It is exquisite and new. Walking up the steps along the deep alley, you will arrive at the Yimen. There is a large plaque on the door that reads "Ancient Temple of the Five Immortals."
The four characters are said to have been inscribed by the late Governor Dong himself. The Taoist temple is quite large, with more than ten halls. There are screen walls, archways, mountain gates, middle halls, back halls, and east and west halls and three yuan halls on both sides.
Temple, verandahs, etc. Cui Hantang arranged for everyone to rest and drink tea in a small room next to the Yimen. Seeing that everyone was curious about the Taoist temple, he personally took everyone around.
The ceremonial gate is the nave. In the 21st century, the nave only has the foundation of the roof and other ruins. In this time, the nave is still well preserved. The palace is five rooms wide and has a grand structure.
At this moment, the middle hall was locked. Cui Hantang led everyone around the base of the hall and went to the apse. The apse was three rooms wide and 12 meters long, three rooms deep and 10 meters wide. The hall was 7 meters high. It was built on top of a mountain with double eaves.
Green glazed tiles. The two ends of the main ridge are decorated with back patterns. In the middle are two inverted turtles facing each other. The middle ridge is decorated with treasures. The main truss of the hall is engraved with the words "November 12, the 16th year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty". IV.
The walls are used for partitions, the square doors and windows are smart and transparent, the buckets have quiet leaves, and the decoration is simple, with distinctive Guangdong local characteristics.
There is a piece of red sandstone exposed on the east side of the back hall. Cui Hantang pointed at it and said: "Come, come, take a look at the treasure of this temple: the 'Immortal's Thumb Trace', which can be compared with the 'Suishidongtian' and 'Wuxianxia'
The cave is listed as one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng." Everyone came forward to look at it. They saw a huge cave on the rock with a pool of clear water, which was nothing unusual. Cui Hantang explained: "This is the Pearl River in ancient times.
The traces of water erosion during the flood period are said to be the footprints left by immortals in folklore.
"What? This turns out to be the Pearl River?" Fu Meng found it incredible.
"Yes, more than a thousand years ago, the Pearl River flowed in front of this slope, and this was a ferry. In the Jin Dynasty, this place was known as the 'Poshan Ancient Ferry'." Cui Hantang told what he had heard from Li Zhuoxian a few days ago.
Things are being fried and sold now.
"I see."
There is an ancient tower-style building on the top of the hill behind the temple. The foundation is made of red sandstone. The building is 7 meters high. It has a central entrance and is shaped like a city gate. There are buildings with huge eaves on it, forming a spacious palace.
The tower looks solemn, majestic, simple and generous. There is also a big bell hanging upstairs. The big bell is two people tall and more than 2 meters in diameter. It looks very heavy. What is surprising is that this bell only uses a kudzu vine.
suspension.
Seeing Fu Meng's surprise, Cui Hantang explained: "It is said that this vine is related to Lu Dongbin: in ancient times, when a big official passed by here in a sedan, the ropes tied to the sedan bars were broken, so he ordered the sedan bearers to find ropes to tie the sedan bars within half an hour.
The bearer was looking anxiously when he suddenly saw an old man walking by the road. The old man pointed to a kudzu vine on the rock and said, "You can use that vine." Seeing that the vine was thin and short, the bearer thought the old man was trying to trick him. Suddenly the old man
When he disappeared, the bearer realized that he had met an immortal, and he quickly pulled off the kudzu vines to tie up the sedan chair. It was really strange that the kudzu vines grew longer and longer until the sedan poles were tied firmly. When they arrived at the inn, the bearer looked carefully and saw
The tail of the vine was engraved with the words "Lü Dongbin", and then I realized that it was the fairy vine given by Lu Dongbin. Later, the Five Immortals Temple was built on the slope of the mountain and a large bell tower was built. Ropes were needed to hang the bell. The bearers donated the fairy vine.
, the tiny kudzu vines can hang the thousands of kilograms of bronze bells firmly." Everyone does not believe Lu Dongbin's legend, but it is an indisputable fact that a single kudzu vine can lift the heavy bell."
Fu Meng couldn't help but hit the big bell. The sound was very loud, and the square well under the bell also buzzed and trembled. Fu Meng was bumping a few more times when Cui Hantang stopped him. He said
: "This big bell is used to summon people to put out fires in emergency situations such as fires. The bell mouth is facing the square wellhead in the center of the building foundation and can resonate. When the bell is rung, the sound comes from the coupon-shaped doorway.
The ringing of the bell spreads far and wide, and the sound can be heard for ten miles. Therefore, it is forbidden to hit it unless there is anything; and there is a saying that when the bell rings, a plague will spread in the city - hence the name 'Forbidden Bell'. The tower is also called the Forbidden Bell Tower."
"Ah, then I have violated a taboo..." Fu Meng knew that there had been a plague in Guangzhou not long ago, and he felt a little worried.
