2019-07-02 Tianshui is a place with many monuments and beautiful mountains. In addition to the most famous Maiji Mountain Grottoes, Fuxi Temple in Qinzhou District is also a must-check place. Tianshui's Qinzhou District is the seat of the government, the cultural relics and monuments are relatively concentrated, from Maiji Mountain down, in order to facilitate the visit of Fuxi Temple the next day, specially chose to live in Qinzhou District. Fuxi is the ancestor of the Chinese nation, one of the three emperors. As the ancestor of the Chinese civilization, he made tools, cultivated agriculture, married marriage, surnames, made book deeds, and talked about it, and guided people out of the chaos of Hongmeng's uninitiated by the lights of civilization, ending the lifestyle of the primitive era. Fuxi Temple, whose real name is Taixi Palace, is commonly known as Renzong Temple. It is located on Fuxi Road, Xiguan, Qinzhou District, Tianshui City, Gansu Province. It is currently one of the largest and most complete memorials to the ancient "three emperors" in China. Fuxi Temple is facing north and south, facing the street, and the courtyard is full of sets. Four into the four courtyards, magnificent and deep. With incomparable reverence and expectation, I came here early in the morning and walked into the temple as the first tourists. Just in time for the month of Fuxi Dayan, many places still retain the traces of the celebration, and the glory of the celebration can be vaguely seen. It is understood that the annual Fuxi Culture Festival on June 22, the public sacrifice ceremony, was held in Fuxi Temple. The scene of the Fuxi Festival was very spectacular. At that time, all the sacrifice personnel bowed to the east to express their awe of the humanistic ancestor Fuxi. Then the main sacrifice and the accompanying sacrifices were offered to the nine generous dings and nine small round dings on the east and west sides of the altar to serve the five grains in turn, which means the five grains are Fengdeng, and at the same time praying for the safety of the country and the people, and the wind and rain are smooth. "Jiuding" and "Five Valleys" indicate that Fuxi is the honor of the ninety-five. Fangding and Yuanding represent Tianyuan. Fuxi Temple is one of the most famous ancient buildings in Northwest China. It was announced as a key cultural relics protection unit in Gansu Province by the Gansu Provincial People's Government as early as 1963, and is now a key cultural relics protection unit in the country. Fuxi Temple has a history of more than 700 years and has been rebuilt nine times. From the temple's scattered ancient cypress trees, you can see the precipitation of the years. The ancient buildings in the temple include the opera building, archway, gate, Yimen, innate temple, Taiji temple, bell tower, drum tower, etc., arranged in turn along the longitudinal axis, propelled layer by layer, solemn and majestic. The Fuxi Temple complex and the surrounding antique blocks are large. It is said that only two Fuxi Temples remain in the country, the other is in two towns in Weishan County, Shandong Province, but Tianshui Fuxi Temple is far larger in scale and historical modernity. As a rare temple in China to worship Fuxi, Fuxi Temple is valuable because there are many ancient cultures and Taoist cultures on display, many wooden structures are exquisitely carved, and archaeological values are also very high. So for those who want to know Fuxi culture, this is the best place to go. The area of Tianshui City is not very large, but there are many places worth browsing for cultural relics! There is also a museum for free visits at the back door of Fuxi Temple, which can be visited together. After the back door comes out, turn right and walk straight for less than 10 minutes to Yuquan View. You can browse and visit together. At the end of the tour, you can also go to the pedestrian street to eat specialties such as wontons.
