Riding the wind of rebirth

"It doesn't matter that Wang Temple as a whole, at least the Daxiong Palace and the Sutra Pavilion are already up to the standard of immovable cultural relics." Zhou Zhi said: "Should we report to the higher level and ask the national cultural relics protection unit to allocate some funds..."

"Elbows can't be manipulated..." But Ci Xiang came over after his evening class, just in time to hear Zhou Zhi say: "If this process is followed, when will Fawang Temple get the repair funds?"

Zhou Zhi thought about it and it really made sense.

"And that's not the most terrible thing." Cixiang said: "The most terrible thing is that if the funds are not available, and we are not allowed to start repairing, then we will just watch Fawang Temple be destroyed."

It was only then that Zhou Zhi realized that the Wangcong Temple was not like this before. After being listed as a protected unit, a wall was built to surround it, and then the funds were insufficient to repair it. After the temple attracted social attention, the pace of protection was accelerated.

But this can’t be blamed for the poor protection of the state. It should be ranked in front of Wangcong Temple. There are many units that urgently need repairs, such as the Jiazhou Giant Buddha, such as the Dazu Rock Carvings, such as the Jinniu Ancient Road, Sanxingdui, and eight pits waiting to line up there...

Another example is the waste paper in the warehouses of Shu University, isn't it more important than Fawang Temple?Won't it go bad faster than this Daxiong Palace?

Maybe the provincial department of cultural relics still complained that Zhou Zhi's article disturbed the rhythm of work!
Having figured this out, Zhou Zhi bowed shamelessly to Ci Xiang: "I was talking nonsense."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ci Xiang smiled and said, "It means that Elbow really likes our monastery. With such a heart, you can enter the Buddhist scriptures pavilion. It's getting dark, you are not afraid of the legend of the green dragon guarding?"

Zhou Zhi and Master Qiao smiled at each other, "I'm not afraid."

"It's good not to be afraid." Compassionate smiled and said, "Let's take a look at the Daxiong Palace first."

He brought a few people to the front of the hall: "There are four treasures in this hall, elbows and wood, let's see if you can find them."

"Why do I think they are all treasures..." Zhou Zhi looked around: "Is it the most valuable... Eh? This Buddha should be made later, but the lotus platform and the stone lion on which Manjusri rides behind are old, wait a minute There are still small characters here... 17 years of Tongzhi, hahaha, do I find something different?"

Ci Xiang nodded with a smile.

Master Qiao raised his head and looked up: "Isn't this large caisson made of Jiulong wood? Not to mention the craftsmanship, the wood used is tens of tons."

"Sixty percent of them are Jinsinan." Cixiang nodded with a smile again: "It's also a treasure."

"One more thing." Uncle Yao obviously knew the answer, but he just didn't say it.

"This pair of pastel cups...isn't from jdz of the Republic of China...the incense burner should be from Guangxu...could it be the pair of gates? Or the murals on the wall, which master is it?"

Cixiang shook his head: "The murals are indeed beautiful, but I don't know the author. The gate and the caisson window spirit are also counted as one, and they are collectively called golden nanmu. I guessed it right."

Master Qiao raised the curtain to block the fragrance: "My dear brother, see if this is it?"

"I'll go..." Zhou Zhi gave Master Qiao a thumbs up: "Brother Xian, you can do it, that's it! This thing is specially designated!"

"Come on slowly!" Uncle Yao raised his hand: "Mu Mu said first, do you still have clairvoyance?"

"The caisson well and the stone lion rosette are all big and heavy things that cannot be moved away. Just now, the elbow said that the golden bodies here are all post-molded, which means that they have been looted before, and most of the treasures left behind are hard to be moved away. Things." Master Qiao said: "Look around in the hall, it seems that only this big incense stick is left."

"What about you?" Uncle Yao said with a smile, "Wood is considered cheating and cheating, how do you decide?"

"I see the feet of the incense eucalyptus and the withered flowers." Zhou Zhi said, "The craftsmanship is exactly the same as the gate, so it should be from the same period, but the legs have been in contact with the ground for so many years, and they haven't rotted. The pattern is more delicate than that of the Jinsinan gate, but the edge is maintained to a newer degree than the gate."

"This shows that the craftsmanship of the large eucalyptus is more exquisite than the gate, and the materials used are more advanced than the gate."

Uncle Yao couldn't help laughing: "They really are two clever ghosts."

"I guessed it right this time." Ci Xiang smiled and said, "This is the fourth treasure in the hall - red sandalwood and eucalyptus."

Sure enough, the great temple that once dominated the southwest still retains some of its heritage no matter how it declines.

Coming out of the Daxiong Palace, Master Cixiang acted as a tour guide: "There are more than 250 square stone pillars in the whole temple of Fawang Temple, each side is two feet long, and the highest one is four feet long. Build with redstone..."

Now we are walking from the Daxiong Palace, which is the opposite of the normal tourist route. The first thing we arrive at is the Wanshou Pavilion.

"In the tenth year of Tongzhi, with the approval of the imperial court, Xu Zhao bj bj Baiyun Temple to print and print a copy of the scriptures. Empress Dowager Cixi bestowed a plaque on the 'Fawang Temple', and sent Chaozhu, Luanjia, and Sutras to the mountain."

"It wasn't until the 17th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty that the edict to Longzang was prepared and printed, and the emperor's imperial decree was Ten Fang Jungle."

"To thank the emperor for his mighty grace, this 'Longevity Pavilion' was specially built."

"The Wanshou Pavilion is on the top of the mountain with double eaves. It is divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor is dedicated to imperial edicts, Luanyi, etc. The upper floor is Lelou, built with provincial flat columns. There are three painted paintings on the back wall, the middle one is ink landscape painting, and the painted paintings on both sides The contents are civil officials and military officials holding wats in both hands; there are wooden withered flower railings on the edge of the stage, one meter high. There is an inner forehead between the columns, and there is a flower board on the inner forehead, which hangs from the bottom. On both sides of the stage are small ear rooms, which are connected with the stage. It is used for actors to make up and musicians to accompany them."

"And build the emperor's imperial decree stele, the stele is seven feet high and five feet wide."

"Outside the pavilion, there are nine dragons gathering precious stones."

"It took a total of 20 years before it was completed."

This building is extremely beautifully built, because the main pillars, platform bases, lions and beasts on the ground floor are carved with red stones, so the main body of the building uses black as the main tone, with blue painted buildings and yellow flower panels. After vicissitudes of life, it is very dilapidated, but it is still hard to hide the once luxurious look.

Such a color scheme is rarely seen elsewhere, which makes Zhou Zhi feel refreshed.

But Zhou Zhi was amused by the big characters "Long live the current emperor, long live the emperor" written on the ranks in the pavilion.

There is also a pair of couplets hanging on the stone pillars on both sides of the building, which is even more ridiculous-three islands, ten continents, sea tides, and the sound of salty return, praying for the return of salty, and thousands of years, as many as the sands of the Ganges River.

It is very interesting to think that this temple was built by Empress Dowager Cixi and this building was built by Guangxu.

The upper line means that the whole world, including overseas gods, should bless this person. The second line means that no matter how long I am your old lady, you must always respect it.

Proper suppression.

"Master Cixiang, I have something to ask." Zhou Zhi said.

"You speak."

"I heard that Fawang Temple's big feng shui situation of 'Dan Feng suppresses Qing Long' has caused more ear pricks in our Sichuan. Is there such a thing?"
