The flowering plums at Chengdu's Qingyang Temple are now at their peak! The flowering plums at Qingyang Temple, anticipated all year, are finally in bloom! Resembling both plum and peach blossoms, yet neither, this flower is a hybrid of the double-flowered pink plum and the purple-leaf plum, a mixed-blood variety. Qingyang Temple, originally named Qingyang Si, was first built during the Zhou Dynasty, approximately 3,000 years ago. Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty took refuge in Sichuan and used this temple as his temporary palace, hence the name change to Qingyang Temple. The existing buildings were gradually rebuilt and restored during the Qing Dynasty, under the reign of Emperor Kangxi. Currently, 80% of the flowering plums are in bloom, and the flowering period is expected to last for another week, so visit soon! The flowers are low-hanging, making them perfect for portraits without the need for elevation. Next to the flowering plums stands a 240-year-old camphor tree, which served as the prototype for the fruit tree in the 1983 version of *Journey to the West*, in the scene where the fruit of immortality is stolen. During filming, the art department significantly modified the base of the tree, adding a pedestal, which makes it look slightly different from the "fruit of immortality tree" in the show.

The original mountain gate of Qingyang Palace was built during the Ming Dynasty. On the left, there are statues of the Earth God and the Azure Dragon, as well as a Nine Dragons Stele of imperial grace erected in the winter of the tenth year of the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. On the right, there is a statue of the White Tiger and the Seven Stars Pile, engraved with the secret Taoist celestial script Yunzhuan, arranged according to the Big Dipper in the northern sky, known as the Big Dipper Seven Stars Pile. There are also the Dragon and Phoenix Pile, a pair of large stone lions, and the Dragon King Well. The newly built mountain gate is solemn and magnificent, with overlapping flying eaves. Auspicious animal carvings of dragons and tigers are inlaid on the eaves and pillars, with delicate carvings and elegant shapes. Two dragons are sculpted on the roof of the hall, playfully vying for a magic pearl. The golden horizontal plaque "Qingyang Palace" hangs high above the mountain gate. This plaque is the calligraphy of An Hongde, the magistrate of Huayang County in Chengdu during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with strong and vigorous strokes, and is a cultural relic of Qingyang Palace. The first main hall of Qingyang Palace is the Lingzu Hall, covering an area of about 400 square meters and about 20 meters high. The wall top is covered with glazed tiles, with white petals on the sides and red glazed lotus flowers in the center. On the right, there are statues of the Earth God and the Azure Dragon, and a Nine Dragons Stele of imperial grace erected in the winter of the twelfth year of the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty. The second main hall of Qingyang Palace, the Hunyuan Hall, was rebuilt during the Guangxu period, with 26 stone columns and 2 wooden columns featuring exquisite openwork carvings, with patterns such as deer, phoenixes gazing at the moon, and twin lions playing with a ball, lively and vivid. There are a total of thirty-six large columns in the hall, including eight wooden columns representing the eight great kings of Taoism; and twenty-eight stone columns representing the twenty-eight constellations in the sky, namely Horn, Neck, Root, Room, Heart, Tail, Winnowing Basket, Dipper, Ox, Girl, Emptiness, Danger, Chamber, Wall, Legs, Bond, Stomach, Hairy Head, Net, Turtle Beak, Three Stars, Well, Ghost, Willow, Star, Extended Net, Wings, and Chariot. This hall is grand and solemn in architecture. The Bagua Pavilion is located between the Hall of the Three Purities and the Hunyuan Hall. The stone base of the pavilion is divided into three layers: square, octagonal, and circular, to fit the Taoist principle of the round sky and square earth, the interdependence of yin and yang, and the harmony of the eight trigrams. Behind the Hall of the Three Purities is the only original Ming Dynasty building remaining in Qingyang Palace—the Doumu Hall, which is entirely wooden. The last important group of buildings in the Qingyang Palace complex is the three platforms in the back garden, with the "Birth Platform" on the left, the "Dharma Speaking Platform" on the right, and the Purple Gold Platform (also called "Tangwang Hall", with statues of Li Yuan and his wife and Li Shimin) in the center. The Hall of the Three Purities in Qingyang Palace enshrines the highest deities of Taoism, the Three Purities, namely the Jade Purity Primordial Heavenly Venerable, the Upper Purity Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Venerable, and the Great Purity Moral Heavenly Venerable, also known as the Grand Supreme Elder Lord and the Grand Supreme Ancestor of Tao. On both sides of the great hall, there are also twelve golden immortals, namely: Guangchengzi, Chijingzi, Huanglong Zhenren, Juliu Sun, Taiyi Zhenren, Randeng Zhenren, Manjusri Guangfa Tianzun, Samantabhadra Zhenren, Cihang Daoren, Yuding Zhenren, Daoxing Tianzun, and Qingxu Daode Zhenjun. In the Hall of the Three Purities in Qingyang Palace, there is a pair of brass-cast sheep, commonly known as the green sheep, which are the treasures of Qingyang Palace. On the left is a single-horned green sheep, and on the right is a double-horned green sheep. The single-horned bronze sheep was bought by the Grand Secretary Zhang Penghui from Beijing in the first year of the Yongzheng period (1723) and given to Qingyang Palace to bear its name. The base of the sheep has a commemorative poem: "The bronze sheep obtained at the capital's assembly, moved to the ancient Daoist site in Chengdu. The delighted local governor seems to recognize it, finding joy in Huayang that never ends." It is said that this bronze mythical creature was originally from the Meige Pavilion in Kaifeng, Henan during the Song Dynasty (the patch on the sheep's neck originally had the words "Red Plum Pavilion"). The other double-horned bronze sheep was cast by the craftsmen Chen Wenbing and Gu Tiren from Yunnan, commissioned by the Zhang family in Chengdu in the ninth year of the Daoguang period (1829), and presented to Qingyang Palace. The original green sheep has been preserved as a cultural relic in Qingyang Palace, while the replica bronze sheep was unveiled and blessed for the public to touch on the morning of June 9, 2004, at 10:30 am.

This weekend is the best time to go～ — Qingyang Palace

Qingyang Palace: The premier Taoist temple in Western Sichuan and the foremost forest of temples in the Southwest, it is one of the famous Taoist temples in the country. Qingyang Palace was founded during the Zhou Dynasty, originally named Qingyang Si. The halls built during the Ming and Tang dynasties were destroyed in military disasters. Most of the existing buildings were reconstructed during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. The Eight Trigrams Pavilion in Qingyang Palace is well-preserved and exquisitely designed, enshrining a statue of Laozi riding a green ox. The most precious cultural relic in the palace, the Daozang Jiyao, is the most complete version preserved in the world.

Spring has arrived spring has arrived🌱 Even though the temperature in Chengdu's spring is still low, the flowers of spring have already bloomed🌸 . 'The First Taoist Temple in Western Sichuan'---Qingyang Palace Qingyang Palace was founded during the Western Zhou Dynasty, originally named Qingyang Si, later Qingyang Temple, and Xuanzhong Temple. As a famous Taoist temple, why is Qingyang Palace not called Qingyang Temple anymore? It turns out that it was because Emperor Xizong of Tang took refuge here from the chaos of Huang Chao's forces, allocated treasury silver for major renovations of the temple buildings, and decreed to change its name to the current 'Qingyang Palace'. (A house where the emperor has stayed is called a 'palace', naturally) . Metro Line 5 Qingyang Palace Station Exit C:10 Tour Duration: 1.5h . Special Services: Qingyang Palace fortune-telling, 20 for interpretation; Qingyang Palace Tea House Drink Taoist tea and eat vegetarian meals . Now the peach blossoms are flourishing, on the right side of the Sanqing Hall is just a small peach orchard, but the branches are low and easy to photograph. Inside Qingyang Palace, it's like a small garden park, suitable for strolling and climbing hills, serene and elegant. Each palace enshrines revered deities, and contemporary young people, between classes and work, have chosen to 'offer incense'!!! (Everyone can receive three sticks of incense for free)
