A thousand-year-old temple prays for blessings on foot
The temple built by the Bei River along the mountain was built in 520 AD
In the vicinity of the beautiful scenery of Qingyuan Beijiang Xiaosanxia, there is a beautiful treasure temple 'Feilai Temple'. It has the same name as the Feilai Temple under the Meili Snow Mountain in Yunnan, but the architectural style is completely different, they are two temples. Qingyuan Beijiang Feilai Temple, it is said to have flown from Anhui. It was built in 520 AD.
◆Feilai Temple has a unique style of 'ancient, wide, beautiful, and strange'. In the first year of the common era of Emperor Wu of the Southern Dynasty, Zhenjun of Yingchuan and Master Lingai left Shuzhou (now Anhui) Shangyuan Yanzuo Temple to come to Xiashan, presiding over the construction of the temple, and it was completed and opened on October 18th of that year. Because Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty, Xiao Yan, personally wrote the two characters 'Zhide' as a gift for the temple door plaque, it was called 'Zhide Temple' at the beginning, also called Feilai Temple.
However, legends are after all legends. But the fact that Feilai Temple has gone through hardships and has been around for a long time is a fact. 'Qingyuan County Chronicles' records: Feilai Temple is composed of Guangqing Temple (the old site of Feilai Temple), Feilai Ancient Temple, Emperor's Temple, Liuzu Hall, Guanyin Hall, etc. Since then, it has been continuously repaired, perfected, and expanded through the ages, becoming one of the ancient temples with a long history in the Lingnan region.
