Anguo Temple

A few years later, a lot of changes. The park greening is good. The lake management is also good. There is also a monastery under construction and the main hall has been renovated. The whole is solemn. The tower is still the previous tower.

In Huanggang City, not far from the Yangtze River, there is a monastery called Anguo Temple. Because there is a tower in the temple, the local area also commonly known as the pagoda, surrounded by the tower with green space, become the pagoda park. On the side of the tower, it is the Anguo Temple that is to be talked about today. Anguo Temple is also a relatively famous monastery. It was built in the Tang Dynasty. When the Su Lu and the official Huangzhou of the Song Dynasty, they often came here. The stone tower was built in the Ming Dynasty. When I went there, the park was under construction. After going in, I first came to the tower. The tower is 7 floors and 8 sides, each side has a door, the door is named after the gossip. This tower is also called Qingyun Tower, which means "Qingyun straight up". From the name of the tower gate and the name of the tower, the tower is more like Taoism than Buddhism. It is said that the stone tower was free to go up and down, but now (at least for now) it is not.

Huangzhou Anguo Temple is located in the Baota Park on the banks of the Yangtze River in the south of Huangzhou City. According to Ming Dynasty "Huangzhou Fuzhi", the temple was built in Tang Gaozong Xianqing three years (658 AD), by the county Zhang Da used to donate the foundation for Xianqing two years, created by the monk Huili, named "Huguo Temple". According to Su Shi "Anguo Temple Poetry", the temple was built in the second year of Li Shubao in the South Tang Dynasty (944 AD), and was originally named Huguo Temple. During the Northern Song Dynasty Tiansheng (1023 ～ 1032), he was a Huangzhou assassin, and his brother Han Xu came to Huangzhou Han Xu because his parents died. Han Xu arranged to study in Anguo Temple. Han Xu was angry in the temple to study "day blue lights, no slack in the wind and rain". Finally, he took the exam. He was a Privy Councilor during Song Renzong Jiajun, and became a generation of famous officials. The latter had "Han Wei Gong Temple" next to Anguo Temple, which is the site of Han Wei Youth Reading, and Anguo Temple was also famous for Han Yu's development. Jiahe eight years (1063), Song Renzong Yu gave the name of "Anguo Temple" and gave a printing party. The jade print is a Yangxu font, the print surface is square, the edge length is 10.6 cm, and the Wenxuan "Zuting Anguo Chan Forest Treasure of Tang Dynasty". Since then, Anguo Temple has become a famous temple in Jianghuai, with a large scale. "Tang Yuzhai Pavilion, Lian are easy to Xinyuan, Yan Li deep and stable, pleasant and pleasant, the best forget to return. The first month of the year, men and women will meet in the court, eat and play, and the god of plague."

Writing the poems of the population such as Anguo Temple Bath, Anguo Temple Xunchun, Yingmeng Luohan, Huangzhou Anguo Temple Jiji, and forming a deep friendship for the high monk Jilian in the temple. Su Wei also opened the pond next to the temple as a release pond, named "Su Zizhan release pond", Leshi erected a monument. From the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty, Jin Bing South invaded, Huangzhou became a battlefield many times, the living spirits were charcoal, and Anguo Temple was also bad luck. When Lu traveled to Huangzhou in Qiandao for six years (1170), the patriotic poet of the Southern Song Dynasty found that Anguo Temple had "besides the army and fire, no relics, but the forest ostrich around the temple, it seems that there is still a weather at the time". Later, he made a poem commemoration of "Bai Xuetang Dengsiwang Pavilion due to visiting the remains of the Su Gong to Anguoyuan". During the Yuan Dynasty, the Anguo Temple was restored. At the end of the Yuan war, the Anguo Temple was destroyed in the army and fire. In the early Ming Dynasty, the war ended. In the first year of Hongwu, Huangzhou City expanded from south to north. In the seven years, the monk Yunting rebuilt the Anguo Temple. Xuande in the seven years (1432) was rebuilt. The 12-year reign of the emperor (1499) was rebuilt on the west side of the pre-fu. The next year, Han Yu's reading office was rebuilt on the west side of the pre-fu by the monastery. The first year of the emperor's reign (1506) Anguo Temple sacrificed the famous battle general of the Tang Dynasty "Liyang Zhanggong Temple" was destroyed. The Anguo Temple was restored again in the twenty-four years of Wanli (1596). Dong Qichang, a famous calligrapher, also wrote the cross-head of "Han Weigong Reading Hall" for Han Yu Reading Office. In the late Ming Dynasty, the country's momentum fell, and the Anguo Temple was desolate and dilapidated. In 1986, the person in charge of relevant aspects of Huangzhou District returned to Yuanyuan from Wuhan under the encouragement of the national reform and opening up policy and the further implementation of the religious policy
