Shi is a shape sound character, and its traditional character is "賜". The oracle of "Easy" is a container that pours water from the upper container into the lower small seal, which means the transposition of the object to the master, usually referring to the gift and gift of the superior to the subordinate, the elder to the younger, and the master to the servant. There is a saying that "easy" is the book of "giving". Shuowen-Beibu: "賜, 予也." "The original meaning is to give, to reward. This meaning can be used as an honorific, such as knighthood and non-stinginess. "Giving" extends to what is rewarded and what is given, such as giving generously and receiving many.
The imperial gift refers to the gift given by the emperor. Speaking of the ancients, we can often see a sentence on TV, that is, when introducing ourselves, "if you don't change your name, you don't change your surname, so-and-so." The meaning of this sentence is that I am who I am whenever I am. Names were very important to the ancients. The ancients did not only have surnames, but also names, and words. People with surnames and first names now have them, but the words are gone. Not only this problem, but also in ancient times, ordinary people could not call it by their first name, otherwise others would fight with you. Generally only your parents, teachers, and emperors can call you by name, and other people are called surnames and characters. It can be seen that the ancients were very important to the name.
Especially for the emperor who has the supreme honor and power, if it is said that it is a very high praise for people, or for things, it means that it is a very high praise. On the mainland, there is such a temple, which is the first temple in the country to give the national character. Not only is the incense flourishing there, but it is also known as the "First Sacred Area of Lingnan"! And this place, its name is Kunionji Temple. Guo'en Temple began in the first year of Tang Hongdao (683 AD), has a history of more than 1300 years, and is said to be the former residence and the place where the flesh of the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty was passed away, and it is known as the "First Sacred Area of Lingnan".
Guo'en Temple, along with Guangzhou Guangxiao Temple and Shaoguan Nanhua Temple, is known as the three ancestral courts of Chinese Zen Buddhism, and some Japanese monks even call it the "Ancestral Court of the Ancestral Garden". The temple is built on a mountain, and still retains the architectural characteristics of the Temple of the Tang Dynasty, and because of the careful layout, it has a Lingnan architectural style. The interior of the temple is quiet, and its incense has been almost uninterrupted for thousands of years. In the third year of Emperor Zhongzong of Tang (707), Emperor Zhongzong of Tang gave the temple the name "Guo'en Temple", making it the first temple in the country to be named after the word "Guo".
Not only that, but also, it is particularly worth mentioning that this is also the former residence and place of the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Huineng. Although the temple was converted from a former residence, it has been expanded over the centuries and has become more and more magnificent. Although it is said that when it comes to Master Huineng of the Six Ancestors, it is estimated that many people do not know who he is. However, for "Bodhi has no tree, nor is spiegel." Originally there was nothing, where to stir up dust" This fa- I think everyone should not feel strange to it.
It means that there was no Bodhi tree in the first place, and it was not a bright mirror table. As long as the sex is empty, there will be any dust! And this well-known Fa Wei is from the Six Ancestors Huineng Master. It is precisely because of this that he was recognized by the five ancestors, taught the Diamond Sutra at night, and secretly passed on the Zen mantle relics, as the sixth generation of ancestors. Although it is said that Kuni'en Temple was remodeled from the former residence of Rokuzu Huineng. However, after successive dynasties of renovation and expansion, the scale of Kunionji Temple has become more and more magnificent and the decoration is gorgeous. Especially when you come to Yunfu, Guangdong, and walk into Guo'en Temple. Especially walking in the ancient complex of the temple will really make you feel like you have traveled through thousands of years.
Guo'en Temple does not have a ticket, it is open from 08:30-11:30 (morning), 14:30-17:30 (afternoon). However, there are many ways to play Kokuenji Temple. You can choose to burn incense here to pray for the blessings of the Buddha, or you can choose to understand and feel the beauty of the ancient buildings here, which are full of antiques and ancient charms, and the historical stories behind the six ancestors of Zen Buddhism. In addition, in the northeast of Guo'en Temple, there is also an ancient lily tree that is more than 1,300 years old.
This ancient lily tree was planted by the Zen Master Huineng himself, although it has gone up and down and was burned by people during the Cultural Revolution. But it still thrives, majestically upright, leafy, tall, and bears fruit in the middle of summer. Especially for friends who work and live in Yunfu, Guangdong, as well as surrounding provinces and cities, if you want to take advantage of the weekend, or other free time, go out to play, walk the baby to take photos and punch cards, appreciate and feel the historical and cultural landscapes related to Guangdong.
