According to the eleventh volume of Zhiyuan's "Jiahe Zhi" "Temple": "In the tenth year of Dazhong, Pei Xiang's house was a temple, changed to Zhide Temple, and there was no master abbot, and the monk Xuefeng lived in the nunnery, and the nunnery had Xuefeng Well. Song Dazhong Xiangfu changed its name in the first year. There are Cai Yuanchang, Zhou Kaizu, and Fan Dezhen left small stone carvings. ”

In the tenth year of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty (856), Pei Xiu, the famous minister of the Tang Dynasty, donated his home to a Buddhist temple called Zhide Temple. Pei Xiu (791~864), the word Gongmei, was a native of Jiyuan, Hanoi (now Jiyuan, Henan), his ancestral hometown Wenxi in Hedong (now Wenxi in Yuncheng, Shanxi), and the second son of Pei Su, the observer of eastern Zhejiang. Good article, work book, to Ouyang Xun, Liu Gongquan as the sect, for the late Tang Dynasty famous calligrapher, the temple temple more please its title, he wrote "Dinghui Zen Master Tablet" has been preserved in the Caotang Temple of Huxian County, Shaanxi.

According to the records of "Jinshan Temple Chronicles" and other materials, Fahai in "The Legend of the White Snake" is the son of Pei Xiu, commonly known as Pei Toutuo. Pei Xiu was demoted in his later years, and served as a festival envoy in Jingnan, during which he devoted himself to the study of Buddhist classics, proficient in the "Huayan Sutra" and "Zen Buddhism", and compiled a volume of "Huangbai Mountain Broken Zen Master Transmission of the Heart", and he made a preface at the beginning of the volume.

Zhu Yizun's compilation of "Ming Poetry Collection" records: "Hezhou in the south of the city, according to legend, is the Tang Dynasty Pei Xiu Farewell, and the name is Pei Island. However, the new and old "Tang Books" are examined, and they are all silent. Zhiyuan's "Zhi" ("Jiahe Zhi"), Liu's "Zhi" (Liu Wan's "Jiaxing Mansion Chronicles"), and Yu Fengjiao's "Supplemental Chronicles" ("Jiaxing Zhi") have not been contained. Zhu Yizun's account questioned Pei Xiu's other business in Fanghezhou. Pei Xiu's house is a temple, although there are records in the chronicles of Jiaxing, but it is also doubtful.

Asanga, a native of Fuloushafura in North India, was one of the founders of the Yoga School of Mahayana Buddhism in ancient India. Asanga, who first became a monk in Hinayana Buddhism, did not understand everything, and then studied Mahayana emptiness from Maitreya Bodhisattva, studied the "Treatise on the Land of the Yogis", and mastered the Mahayana scriptures such as the Huayan Sutra, and wrote many treatises, which had a certain influence on the yoga practice of later generations.

Born in northern India around the 4th to 5th centuries, Asanga's temple was first built in the 2nd year of the Tang Dynasty (757), which is already the 8th century. "Abbot" means "the chief monk in charge of a monastery". "Master Asanga's abbot" is interpreted as "Ancient Indian Master Asanga's abbot was the abbot of Zhenrujiao Temple", which does not fit in time and space. The master of Asanga, who is supposed to have the same name as the ancient Indian Asanga, (the "Sangha" in the following should also be the same name as the ancient Indian Buddhist scholar Asanga).

Zhenrujiao Temple is the Huayan Sect (Xianshou Zong) dojo, and it is reasonable to respect and promote the "Huayan Sutra" of the great monks and Pei Xiu.

▲ King James "Siku Quanshu" volume 11 to Yuan "Jiahe Zhi"

In the first year of Song Zhenzong's Dazhong Xiangfu (1008), Zhide Temple was renamed Zhenruyuan. In the temple, there are stone carvings of Northern Song Dynasty celebrities Cai Yuanchang, Zhou Kaizu, and Fan Dezhen who left messages after visiting the shrine. Cai Jing (1047~1126), a native of Xianyou County, Xinghua Army (now Xianyou County, Fujian Province), was a calligrapher. He has served as prime minister four times, with a term of office of 17 years, and he can be called the first person in ancient and modern times.

Zhou Wei, the word Kaizu, was a native of Qiantang (now Hangzhou). In the eighth year of Jiayou of Song Renzong (1063), he was a jinshi, and during the Yuanfeng period of Song Shenzong (1078~1085), he was ordered by Lishui, and the official invited a doctor and a lieutenant of the light car. Su Shi sang more than reward. Wei Xiang (1033~1105), the name Zijun, was born in Qiantang (now Hangzhou). Gong poems, written "Qiantang Collection", left a poem entitled "and Hui Yuebo Lou and Fan Dezhen Singing".

According to Guangxu's "Jiaxing Mansion Chronicles" volume 18 "Temple View I" contains: "Huang Yu Renchen, monk Qing and other heavy expansion of the lecture hall. ”

In the fourth year of the reign of Emperor Song Renzong (1052), the monk Qing Bian and others rebuilt the lecture hall. And asked Sima Guang to write "Xiuzhou Zhenruyuan Fatang Record": In the summer and April of Renchen, a monk came to tell him: "Qing Zhi, Xiuzhou is really like a grass hall monk." It is true that there is a lecture hall as before, and it is not enough for scholars, and it is new to distinguish and treat with the same technique, and it is now highly prominent. The son of the wish to get the text, carved stones to tell the comer. ”

Guang Xie said: "The light is not enough to insult the stone carvings, and Jia Pingsheng does not study Buddhist books, and those who don't know why the clouds are invited by others." ”

He said: "Others dare not invite them, so the return of the son, and the son of the son?"

Guanggu didn't get any words, but said: "The teacher's actions are halls, what is his ambition?"

He said: "The clear distinction is the hall, and the people in the hall tell it: 'The second and third sons can study the book of my Buddha and explain it to others, and I will sit in Nanxiang and learn from it.'" If you can't judge or not, it will be taken from the power of the Quartet. 'All of them can't, and then they arrive at Jingyan Temple, and welcome Shamen Dao Huan and learn from him.

He also belonged to his disciples and said: 'From now on, my two and third sons will cooperate with comrades, and the hall will support them, and the teachers will make up for them, so that the golden stone and the mountains can be flattened, and the voice of the voice of the voice cannot be extinguished. ’”

Guang said: "The ambition of the teacher is beautiful." Although he did not study Buddhist books, he also tried to plagiarize the Buddha's human being. The sage of the Western Regions, who is also a man, thrifty and lacking desire, benevolent and loving things, so he wears the clothes of the mend, eats the food of sparseness, lives in the wilderness, and scolds his wife and son, so he is very proud and afraid of annoyance. Although the grass, trees, insects and fish do not dare to kill in vain, they want to live with things without harming each other. All this way is to clean his body, not to be burdened by things, and to cover China's close to Lingzhongzi and Jiaoguang's disciples.

The virtue of the husband and the saint is Zhou, the virtue of the sage is biased, and the Zhou is all repeated. And the last people are still abandoning their roots and betraying their origins, and they are biased. Therefore, those who are Buddhist books in later generations will be deceitful day by day, and they will not be extravagant in the words of their teachers and benefit from obscene and strange slanders, and take the world's wealth by appalling the vulgar, and they will be rich and untiring, so the cost of a piece of clothing or a hundred gold is not as good, and the silk is the healer; a drink is straight or ten thousand dollars is not as good, and it is a province that is popular. The lofty hall and the huge room are dedicated to the aspiration of the Buddha, how can it be? There are no other people in the world who do things like Buddhas, and the Wu people are even worse. The teacher is a hall, and he will be the way of the Buddha. Is it necessary to ponder deeply on the original, and not to be debauched at the end, then it is beneficial to govern the hall, how can it be fine?"

In the fourth year of the emperor's reign, the pavilion was surveyed, and Sima Guangji of the Taichang Rite Institute was also known.

In his account, Sima Guang described the purpose, significance, and determination of the expansion of the lecture hall through the mouth of Qing Xuan, and talked about the foundation of Buddhism, criticizing the unhealthy tendencies of the Buddhist circles at that time, and hoping to make clear use of the original and clear source of the lecture hall to bring Buddhism back to the right path. Sima Guang (1019~1086), the word Junshi, the name of the roundabout, was born in Guangshan, Guangzhou (now Guangshan County, Henan Province), known as Mr. Shushui, and claimed to be the descendant of Sima Fu, the king of Anping in the Western Jin Dynasty.

During his tenure, he conducted a systematic study of the "Ancient Text of Filial Piety" and wrote the article "Explanation of the Ancient Text of Filial Piety", which was also written during this period.

According to Guangxu's "Jiaxing Mansion Chronicles" volume 18 "Temple View I" contains: "Jiayou Renyin, the monk recruited from the south to build the Buddha to protect the country. Yuan Yu Wuchen, the Goryeo monks rebuilt the Changshui Pagoda Pavilion. Xuanhe Gengzi, the soldiers were destroyed, and only the statue of the silver tower of the underground palace remained. After the analysis is three, the south is the first ten directions of the academy. ”

In the seventh year of the reign of Emperor Renzong of the Song Dynasty (1062), the monk recruited from the south (the same name as the eighth generation of Nanyue) to build the Prajna Pagoda of King Renwang to protect the country. Uncle Bao Yi's "True Pagoda Record" has: "At the age of Jiayou Renyin, there is a master from the south, who recruited the benevolent king to protect the country and the Prajna pagoda, guide sentient beings well, and cultivate Brahma blessings. Guangxu "Jiaxing Mansion Chronicles" volume 18 "Temple View One" has: "Burn five-color glazed tiles to be majestic. ”

On April 15, 1038, the first year of Song Renzong's reign, he passed away at the age of 75. Zhiyuan's "Jiahe Zhi" volume 14 "Xianfan" contains: "Master Changshui, the native also."

Song Hui Zong Xuanhe three years (1121), really such as the temple to destroy the rebellion, only the underground palace of the tower remains.

Fang La (1078~1121), also known as Fang Thirteen, was a native of Shezhou (now Shexian County, Anhui) in the Northern Song Dynasty. In October of the second year of Emperor Xuanhe of Song Hui (1120), he gathered millions of people to rise up, captured 52 counties in six prefectures (including the whole territory of present-day Zhejiang and the vast areas of Anhui, southern Jiangsu, and northeastern Jiangxi), established political power, and enshrined him as "Holy Prince", with the year name "Yongle". In April of the third year of Xuanhe (1121), the last stronghold occupied, Qingxi Gangyuandong, was broken by the Song army, and 39 leaders including Fang La's father and son were captured, and Fang La was executed in Bianjing on August 24 of the same year.

Later, the site of the Zhenrujiao Temple was divided into three, and the temple was built in the south, which was called the Xianshou Ten Directions Sect. Xianshou Guoshi (643~712), the name of Fazang, the actual founder of Huayan Sect, is called the Three Ancestors in the sect. Originally a native of Kangju, his grandfather lived in Chang'an, with Kang as his surname, Wu Zetian ordered the ten virtues of the capital to grant him a full ring, and gave him the name of "Xian Shou", known as "Xian Shou National Teacher", and successively served as the five emperors (Tang Gaozong, Wu Zetian, Zhongzong, Ruizong, Xuanzong) disciples.

According to the eleventh volume of the "Jiahe Zhi" of the Yuan Dynasty, "the temple" contains: "At the beginning of the construction of Yan, Zhizhou Zhao Shu near the dragon figure died in the king's matter, and was buried in it. ”

In the first year of Song Gaozong Jianyan (1127), Zhao Shu, the governor of Xiuzhou, died in the royal affair and was buried in the Zhenrujiao Temple. The monk's room is engraved with the text of Zhao Shu's near rehabilitation, so the common people built an ancestral hall to commemorate him. Ming Wanli's "Xiushui County Chronicles" Volume 2 "Construction Chronicles" contains: "Zhao Longtu Ancestral Hall, in the south of the county Zhenru Temple East, Song Zhao Shu near the dragon map to serve the Xiuzhou Dynasty, set up the ancestral hall. ”

Zhao Tingmei, the second brother of Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Shujin, a jinshi, went to Xiuzhou as a governor in the first year of the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty and governed Xiuzhou very well. Due to the failure to pay wages in time, the soldiers led by Chen Tong rebelled in Hangzhou and looted all the way to Xiuzhou City. Uncle Zhao approached the rebels, told them the righteousness, explained the interests and disadvantages, and the rebels listened to him and settled down.

Uncle Zhao recently gave Song Gaozong a recital, and the rebels had been recruited, so he asked Song Gaozong to pardon them. Because of the opposition of the ministers, Song Gaozong did not pardon the rebels, and sent the general Wang Yuan to lead the troops to quell the rebellion. Originally, Wang Yuan and Zhao Shujin had a festival for a prostitute in Bianjing, and after the end of the counterinsurgency, Wang Yuan reported Zhao Shujin's corruption and fornication to Song Gaozong, and Zhao Shujin was arrested and Zhu Fu was the governor.

A soldier named Xu Ming took the lead in rebellion, arrested Zhu Fu, released Zhao Shujin, and asked him to continue to be the governor. Uncle Zhao said to the rebellious soldiers: "If you can protect the territory and the people, I can temporarily act as an agent, and I will ask the imperial court to send a good state to Xiuzhou." ”

Zhao Shujin's recital had not yet been delivered to Song Gaozong, and the imperial court had sent Zhang Jun to lead a large army to Xiuzhou to conquer. When Zhang Jun arrived in Xiuzhou, Uncle Zhao went out of the north gate to greet him, and Zhang Jun hacked Uncle Zhao to death indiscriminately. When the soldiers and people of Xiuzhou saw that Uncle Zhao was killed, they really rebelled, and for a while there was chaos in the city, and the flames soared to the sky. The next day, Zhang Jun captured Xiuzhou City and killed the people who led the rebellion. Wang Mingqing's "Waving Lulu" and "History of the Song Dynasty: The Fourth Family of the Clan" have records about this matter.

In October of the third year of Qingyuan, the pagoda was built in the north of it, and Uncle Bao Yi remembered it. The rest of the base site, the government is a village, and it is abandoned. ”

In the second year of Chunxi of Song Xiaozong (1175), the monk Jieyue built the Huayan Pavilion in the west of the temple, and the bottom floor of the pavilion was the Sixteen View Hall. The Sixteen Meditation Halls are the sixteen meditation places facing the outer ring, which are named according to the sixteen visualizations. The Sixteen Halls are a very unique building in the history of Buddhist art, which reproduces the Buddhist scriptures in the way of space creation.

Bandit fake luck, can think of manpower, and the ambition to quit the moon is diligent. To persuade Nong Zhenru, the so-called abstinence from the moon, its master monk also. The face is rocky, and it should be strong. The deceased Huang Jun stopped traveling for more than 20 years, yesterday he got it in Wuchang, and went to see him again in the capital.

Really such as the first ten sides of the academy, Tang to the German time number to the German Academy, the dynasty in the auspicious charm to give the present name, the monk's words cloud, the temple has the title of the stone carving.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Yasukuni Kingdom, the county guarded the guest self-funded Holy Zen Monastery was really like cooking tea, and the Xianshou Sect was solid during the period. If it is true, when it is boasted in the pavilion, it is passed through Jiaxing and asks the prosperity of the monk's workshop, who is not brave to go to the temple since Shaoxing, and there are monks with wisdom in Shaoxing, and the hasty cover is in the fire, and the wisdom is strict. Since Chunxi was the chairman in the second year of this Jieyue, he intended to build Huayan Pavilion, and his heart did not retreat, and he has achieved success. Where there are five rooms, six feet wide and two feet wide, six feet and five feet high, and four feet deep and nine feet. He is like the Lushena Temple, the Sixteen Temples and the monk's abode.

The temple has no permanent production, the month of the precept and the field, the year can collect 300 hu, and now the people who eat its incense have been more than 150 people.

Shang Yiqing is good at writing articles, and his talent is quick, and Chen Qiqing, a fellow villager and later scholar, has the reputation of "writing and talking about three rivers". Shang Yiqing described the reason for writing this account in the "Records of Huayan Pavilion of Zhenru Academy", introduced the history of Zhenru Temple, the majestic and solemn atmosphere and the large number of believers, and also introduced the construction of Huayan Pavilion and the merits of building the pavilion in the moon.

Hao Hao shows the Brahman, and the line is a metaphor for the corpse. Stopped standing and tracing the year, four hundred spring and autumn passed. Steal the descendants of the grandson, sweep away the leaning in the middle. The broom blows on it, and the cold wind moves the pineapple. The wilt is still whisked, and the sky is full of harmony.

After the reconstruction, the tower is a seven-storey pavilion type, the tower is 52 meters high, the diameter of the tower base is 12 meters, and you can climb to the highest floor of the tower and overlook.

In 1959, due to the serious tilt of the Zhenru Tatasha, the Tasha was dismantled for safety reasons. The dismantled tower was temporarily placed in the antituberculosis association on Ziyang Street, and then moved to the dirt hill of the People's Park for tourists to visit. In 1971, the Zhenru Tower was demolished by the county housing management office as a whole, and the underground palace of the tower was not excavated. Some of the demolished tower bricks were built into a section of the children's park, and some were built into several houses in the heart of the city, and some of these tower bricks were engraved with the names of donors during the reconstruction in the sixteenth year of Shunzhi (1659), and they were all scattered.

It's really like a temple study
