The morning sun melts on the steep peaks of Pujian Mountain, which is a dawn in the Nanyan Mountains, and the melodious bells come from the Shijun Temple at the foot of the mountain, breaking the tranquility of the morning. As soon as the old monk with the stick struck the wooden fish, the great treasure hall was filled with sounds, buzzing like hidden thunder. This ancient temple with a thousand-year history has begun to start the morning lesson day after day, week after week.
According to the "Chronicle of Pingyang County" of the Republic of China, during the Jianlong period of the Northern Song Dynasty, the ancestor of the Southern Yan Kaishan Mountain, Wish Qi, with the financial support of Qian Qi, the king of Wuyue, chose xi xin zhang ao ma hu to cross the west side and the southern foothills of Pujian Mountain to open a temple. Therefore, there are many boulders in the mountains, and the rugged and strange, the bamboo is deep into the forest, so the word "ShiJun" is taken as the name of the temple, commonly known as Zhang Ao Tang. Shijun Temple is the gateway to the South Yandang Mountain in the west, sitting west to the east, facing the mountain stream, built with mountain gates, halls, boxes, surrounded by Qingxi circulation, elegant and quiet, cut off red dust.
In the north and south of the Song Dynasty, the wolves in the Central Plains rose up, and the Jingchuan Basin was not alarmed. There are 100 monks in Shiyun Temple, 5,000 Zen houses, 330 acres of temple fields, and both agriculture and Zen, which has become a spring and autumn style. Around the seventeenth year of the Qing Kangxi Dynasty (1678), the four monks of Jizong, Ruling, Che'an, and Pu'an worked together to rebuild the Shijun Zen Temple, and more than ten halls and pavilions were erected, and the bell tower hung a thousand pounds of copper bells, and the drum tower placed a drum face that could accommodate an eight-immortal table and four stools. Chen Tingjing, a major minister of the Cabinet of the Qing Dynasty and the president of the Kangxi Dictionary, personally inscribed a plaque for the Shijun Temple, which was hung high on the mountain gate, which made the temple even louder.
In the first ten days of June in the twenty-fifth year of the Kangxi Dynasty (1686), when cicadas were chirping frogs, Pan Qi, a famous scholar and reviewer of the Hanlin Academy in the early Qing Dynasty, went to Nanyan Lansheng, crossed the water, and visited Shiyun Temple, where he was warmly received by the abbot Yumen Zen Master and stayed at the temple that night. "A peak is extremely tall and sharp, known as pu tip, shijun zen temple in its foothills, tending to stay in the place." Qingxi is a few folds, the flat domain is hundreds of acres, more than a dozen houses are hidden in the deep hedgehog trees, the chickens and dogs are absolutely sounded, and the bells are out of the woods. Bamboo and bamboo, net and not spitting. "This is the beautiful scenery in Pan Qian's eyes, which is a true portrayal of Shijun Temple 330 years ago. Pan Qian said in the "Travels of the Southern Wild Goose" that that night, he and the Yumen Zen master "swept the stone cooking spring, solemnly opposed", tasted tea and enlightened Xuan, full of excitement, "have the idea of the afterlife", and realized that there was no other world and earth.
In the forty-third year of Qianlong (1778), Lu Haochun, a pedatrist, poet and "moon boat resident" of Pingyang, traveled to Nanyan in spring, visited Shiyun Temple, looked at the majestic shapes of Pujian Mountain, and looked at the magnificent shapes of Pujian Mountain, and shiyun temple was uniquely fond of the gods, so he deliberately stayed in the temple, "the next morning he will visit the Xiangu Cave, return to the temple in case of rain", and live a leisurely day of "cutting a white cloud to supplement and borrowing half of the water to read the scriptures". The world is unpredictable, who knows that after twelve years, when the Pingyang poet Zhang Yuanqi (the son of Zhang Nanying Jinshi) entered the Shiyun Temple during the Qing Dynasty, the dilapidated scene in front of him made him sigh: "The deep white clouds are knocking on the Zen Pass, pointing out the pines and green bamboo." The snakes of the winding path are coiled through the valley, and the frog drums of the creek are mixed with babbling. The ring beads have not been reflected in the morning, and the cranes have returned to the old mountain. Scattered in the barren grass of the broken monument, the Mozi empty saw the moss marks. ”
In the 29th year of the Republic of China (1940), Shijun Temple was reduced to a granary, and in 1958 it was converted into a Shuitou iodine factory. This ancient Zen temple, which is very deep, is like a line-bound book with connotations, a line-bound book about Nanyan, Wanqi, Wuyue Wang, and Buddhist Zen, just like this in the black smoke of the factory, and then nirvana in the storm of the "Cultural Revolution". Ishijō-ji Temple, quietly waiting for a new life on the ruins...
In the winter of 1985, the high sky was flying snow, the red of the four wilds was weakened, and the local boundary air Zen master vowed to rebuild, and after thirty years of hard work in spring and autumn, he successively rebuilt the Daxiong Treasure Hall, the Jizo Hall, the Three Holy Temples, the Heavenly King Hall, the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Merit Hall, the Five Views Hall, the Past Life Hall, and the XuanFang... Today, under the Pu Peak, the green mountains are screens, and a Zen temple with layers of terraces, flying pavilions and flowing Dan, magnificent prayer flags, and very magnificent regulations stands majestically above the hinterland of the valley of Zhang'ao.
