In August of the ninth year of the Republic of China (1920), Master Hongyi traced the Qiantang River, Fuchun River, Lanjiang River and Qu River from the waterway, landed in the Yingchuan Cottage Boat in Qu County, and after the Jin Gurudwara Yang Jiong Ancestral Hall, he went to the Lotus Temple to stay in Xi. Returned to Hangzhou early the following year.
In September of the twelfth year of the Republic of China (1923), Master Hongyi came from Shanghai to Qu, stationed in Xi lotus temple to administer the law, and stayed in Quanwang Sanzang Temple and Xiakou Nanhu Temple. From the winter of that year to the spring of the following year, the Master was invited to the Dazhongxiangfu Temple in Quzhou City to stay in Xi. The Quxian Chronicle of the Republic of China says: "In the twelfth year of the Republic of China, the Buddhist association was set up at the DazhongXiangfu Temple, and the high monk Hongyi came from the Lotus Temple to the city lord. Hongyi donated the recitation of the sutras and all the Tibetan scriptures and the continuation of the Tibetan scriptures, and set up a reading meeting to spread it widely. The abbot monk Myo Hyun-na built the Tibetan scripture building in the apse. ”
On the 19th day of the 19th lunar month of the thirteenth year of the Republic of China (1924), Master Hongyi left Qu and went to Wenzhou via Qingtian and Songyang.
Master Hongyi was stationed in Xiqu Prefecture twice, adding up to a year. During this period, in addition to reading the scriptures, writing books, and participating in Buddhist activities, he met and befriended many literati in Quzhou, such as Wu Zigong, Xiang Huai, Wang Bansheng, Qiu Xingnong, Wang Juru, Wang Mengsong, Cheng Benyi, Xu Ducai, Hu Jiayou, Wang Zipei, And Du Baoguang, and left many writings related to Quzhou.
The relics of Master Hongyi, preserved in the Quzhou Museum, are:

Guizong Shiba-an presided over the sentence. Fang Tan performed the sound. On the back of the stone, there is an inscription by Wang Mengsong' resident: "Hongyi Shangren Yan Hai Dongshu gave two stones, one put down the two words, one is this stone." The actions of the master are more beautified, and Yu cherishes them. Kou did not reach it, or had the buddha's power to protect it. Decanter is not floating. ”

Master Hongyi presented Wang Mengsong with the ten volumes of the sutra "The Great Buddha's Peak Rulai Mein Corrected the Ten Thousand Paths of the Righteous Bodhisattvas", and the first volume had the words of the Master and the Zhu Seal on the cover: "The Old Hidden Silver Cave Is Connected to the Temple." In September, the teacher performed the sound of Fu. The year of October is recorded in the lotus flower. Yin (Yin, Seal Book White).

There are two stamps: one is the self-engraved famous chapter "Yanyin", and the other is the idle seal engraved by Mr. Ma Yifu for the mage, "Ordinary Man of Things".
Ma Yifu carved a chapter for Master Hongyi, "Ordinary Man".
Among these collections, the fangshi stone and two stamps were collected by Mr. Ji Zhiyao of the Quzhou Cultural Center from the home of Mr. Wu Shichang, the nephew of Mr. Wang Mengsong of Lotus Village, during the census of cultural relics in the early 1980s.
Friends
Master Hongyi took a group photo with his disciples at the Dazhong Xiangfu Temple. Hou Right Jiang Shan Mao ShanLi, Hou Zhonglong You Wu Nanzhang, Hou Zuo Gu Su You Mo Jun.
Mao Shanli (1902-1977), formerly known as Shigen, was a native of Jiangshan. At the age of twenty-one, he was introduced by Mao Yunpeng and worked at Quzhou Provincial No. 8 Middle School. In the autumn of the twelfth year of the Republic of China (1923), Master Hongyi arrived in Qu for the second time and accepted Mao Shanli as his calligraphy and Jinshi disciple.
Soon after Master Hongyi accepted Mao Shanli as a disciple, he created the essay "Ci Shu", changed Mao Shanli's other name "Shigen" to "Cigen", which means "the foundation of kindness and virtue, the foundation of mercy and happiness", and encouraged Mao Shanli not to forget "cultivating compassion" in this life; he also gave Mao Shanli a small porcelain vase of "wave glaze" flower arrangement obtained in the first year of Xuanun (1909) when he graduated from the Ueno Art School in Tokyo, Japan, and a bag of hair and beard that Mao Shanli had shaved when he ran out of the house, and gave It to Mao Shanli to treasure, and instructed: "The skin of the body, the parents who receive it, cannot be destroyed." "This shows the depth of the friendship between teachers and students.
Mr. Mao Shanli was one of the disciples of Master Hongyi who spent the longest time with the Master and exchanged the most letters, and was influenced by Master Hongyi and became associated with Han Mo Jinshi all his life. In his later years, when summarizing his life experience, he once said: "Half a life of hard work books and a thousand volumes, full of spiritual pens." ”
Wang Mengsong (1882-1954), also spelled Furuo, was a native of Shexian County, Anhui. At the age of 15, he went to Quzhou as an apprentice. Since the age of 26, he has been the manager of Maonan Goods Store in Lianhua Town Hutong for a long time and Mr. Accounting. In 1919, he began to write a diary, called "The Diary of Xue Luo'an", and until his death, there were 177 diaries.
Master Hongyi had been stationed at the Lotus Temple twice and had close contact with Wang Mengsong. The Master gave it to him with the "Biography of Wang Jushi" and the "Supplement to the Biography of Wang Jushi". The relics of Master Hongyi, which are now treasured by the Quzhou City Museum, except for the white jade Buddha statue, were all collected from Mr. Wang Mengsong's relatives.
Mr. Hu Fengchang, the son of Wang Mengsong's nephew Hu Jiayou, liked poetry after retirement. In 1995, he borrowed from his cousin Wang Aiyun the Diary of Xue Luo'an from 1938 to 1946, from which he copied poems about Wang Mengsong written during the War of Resistance. Among them, three diaries related to Master Hongyi were also copied. For example, October 17, 1942: "In the afternoon, I saw the Southeast Daily on October 31 and published the testament of Master Hongyi. He was thinking about his communication office, but unexpectedly died in the Wenling Nursing Home in Quanzhou on the fourth day of September. My master Dao Is of high moral character, seeing this chaos, unable to save the robbery, has been extremely happy, and cannot bear to see this catastrophe. The Master's Testament was copied separately. Also, Zhu Dayan mourned Master Hongyi: "Absolute talent is unique, and a poem is written in a lifetime." Zhu Men was a young man with empty doors, and his art was a Zen master. ’”
Zheng Yongxi (1866-1931), also known as Weichuan, was a native of Xi'an County (Qu County). In the twenty-third year of the Qing Dynasty (1897), he served as a county counselor after the founding of the Republic of China, and in the fifth year of the Republic of China (1916), he served as the governor of Enshi County, Hubei Province. After resigning and returning to Qu county, he advocated the revision of the "Qu County Chronicle" and served as the chief editor of the Qu County Revision Bureau. In the same year, he became the secretary general of the Zhejiang Provincial Council and moved to Hangzhou. In the past five years, the "Quxian Chronicle" was compiled, about a million words, and Zheng Yongxi accumulated fatigue and became ill, and he was blind in both eyes.
Zheng Yongxi and Li Shu were colleagues of the Zhejiang Two-Level Normal School, and in his revised "Quxian Chronicle", master Hongyi's two visits to Qu were recorded one by one, which was a record for history. In his later works, "Stubborn Thoughts", he mentioned "Hongyi Gift Sutra", Yun: "Old friend Li Shutong, who worked with Yu in the teacher's school for several years, changed his name to Hongyi and Zhuo Xiqu's Lotus Temple after his ordination. In order to set up a Buddhist society, the clouds will travel elsewhere. All the Tibetan scriptures were preserved and continued to be preserved at Xiangfu Temple. The abbot monk built the Tibetan scripture building to store it. I hope that the people after the good will be preserved also. ”
Temple
Lotus Temple. Originally built during the Song Jianlong period, qing jiaqing fifteen years (1810) expansion, the temple monks at most reached more than 500 people. There is no longer any existence.
"Lianhua Temple" plaque.
The "Quxian Chronicle" of the Republic of China says: "This temple has a wide range of land products, and there are still more than 100 stones of surplus grain after Hong Yang's soldiers are burned." At the beginning of Guangxu, the monk's heart was still able to sort it out. After the death of Fu Xin, the monks were scattered and lost. In the eighth year of the Republic of China (Zhuang Press: it should be the ninth year of the Republic of China), there was a monk Deyuan who came from Hangzhou Tiger to the main seat and invited the ordained monk Hongyi to say that the altar was said, and There was a jade Buddha brought by Myanmar to make offerings to the Guanyin Hall, swore a grand wish, rebuilt the main hall, and restored the old xu. All the monks in the monastery can practice hard, and although they do not have much to recover their old karma, they can also support the porridge. ”
At the end of the fifteenth year of the Republic of China (1926), Xu Yingpu, a Yi person, returned from Hangzhou to Xujiawu Province, Fushi Township, and once wrote a poem mentioning Master Hongyi: "Do not recite the Midas, do not ask Zen, do not seek the truth and do not seek immortals." The village man was led to the Lotus Temple, and the abbot personally cooked the milk spring. Qianmin's inscription searches for old stones, and The relics of Renshan visited that year. Mo Taohong left a side of tin, and the opening sound of the market was in the world. ”
In the early summer of 2014, according to Mr. Hu Shichang, 84 years old in Lotus Village, the Lotus Temple was destroyed by fire in the 25th year of the Republic of China (1936). Since then, there has been a primary school on the site. The 1992 edition of the Quxian Chronicle reads: "Now some of it has been changed to another use. The 1994 edition of the Quzhou Chronicle reads: "The current part is a primary school building. It can be seen that before the mid-1990s, the Lotus Temple building still existed. After that, the ruins were gradually eroded, the stele was used to build bridges and pave roads, and the only plaque of "Lianhua Temple" still existed, hanging between the beams of the house of Mr. Mao Dechang, a villager in Liandong Village. The plaque reads "Republic of China B Ugly Midwinter Grain Dan" and the lower paragraph reads "Du Jian Hongxiang Shi Hongsheng Chongli". The word "heavy" is only half a word. "Lianhua Temple" three big characters, dark red, pen strength. The Republic of China was the fourteenth year of the Republic of China (1925), two years after Master Hongyi's second residence at the Xi lotus temple in 1923. It can be seen that the temple was overhauled that year, so a new plaque was replaced.
Nanhu Temple. The Republic of China's "Quxian Chronicle" quotes Jiaqing's "Xi'an County Chronicle" record, only a few strokes: in the village of Xiakou in the north of the city. The temple is quite magnificent. Gate you Ming Wanli Peng Wu (1618) Ye Bingjing inscription "Nanhu Zen Temple" forehead. The Republic of China's "Quxian Chronicle" added another stroke: the thirteenth year of Qing Tongzhi (1874) was rebuilt. This is obsolete.
In the autumn of the twelfth year of the Republic of China (1923), Master Hongyi went to the Lotus Temple in Quxian County for the second time, and stayed in quanwang Sanzang Temple in the southeast of the city and the Nanhu Temple in the north of the city, only forty-nine years after the reconstruction of the Nanhu Temple in the thirteenth year of Tongzhi (1874), and the monk's house could accommodate the master's small residence, indicating that the Nanhu Temple at that time was still large. However, when Mr. Zheng Yongxi compiled the "Quxian Chronicle" in the fifteenth year of the Republic of China (1926), the Nanhu Temple had been "abolished". Since there is no historical data to be found, the reason for this is no longer known. However, the temple is "ruined", and the temple is still there. Soon, people of insight among the local gentry set up a village-level primary school in the empty Nanhu Temple. The "Gorge River Elementary School" continued until the 1980s. After that, the temple house was demolished and a school building was built, which was called the Gorge River Town Center School. Xiachuan Town Center School covers an area of more than 10 acres, and the foundation is all ancient temple ruins. In the secluded place in the courtyard of the government wall of Xiachuan Town, more than ten stone pillars and a half-moon shaped water tank hewn from the whole stone are preserved when the Nanhu Temple was demolished.
Sanzang Temple. Jiajing's "Chronicle of Quzhou Fu" contains: Sanzang Temple, located in Qingping Township, forty miles east of the city (now Sanzang Natural Village, Guanshandi Village, Quanwang Town, Qujiang District), formerly known as Jingsha, was built by the liang dynasty monk Chongchan. During the Song Dynasty (963-968), it was renamed Sanzang Temple.
Wang Rongtong of the Qing Dynasty has a poem about the Sanzang Temple: "Surrounded by green mountains, a path of white clouds." The door covered the sound of the spring, and the flowers bloomed and failed. The courtyard is barren and long, and the monks and elders are half farmers. Tea talk can stay guests, yin move ancient temple pine. From this point of view, sanzang temple was quite decadent in the Qing Dynasty. The 1992 edition of the Quxian Chronicle reads: "Most of today's part has been destroyed. "There are farmhouses within the site of the current Sanzang Temple, and the vegetable fields are full of furrows. In the canal on the northwest side of the ruins of the ancient temple, the abandoned stone horse material trough of more than one meter square is also a relic of Sanzang Temple.
Dazhong Xiangfu Temple. Kangxi's "Quzhou Fu Zhi" records that Xiangfu Temple was in the north of the county, and in the third year of Wu Tianji (279), the general Zheng Ping donated a house to build. Liang Tianjian gave him the title of "Zheng Jue" in the third year (504). During the Tang Dynasty (705-707), it was renamed "Longxing". In the ninth year of Tang Zhenyuan (793), the prime minister Lu Zhen donated more than 1,000 acres of land to feed the monks. In order to remember the kindness of Zheng Ping and Lu Zhen, the left side of the temple hall offers statues of Zheng and Lu Ergong. In the second year of the Song Dynasty (1009), it was renamed "Dazhong Xiangfu Temple". Since then, all the dynasties have followed the decadence.
According to Mr. Xu Zhoujia, who was the former president of Quzhou People's Hospital, the pair of stone lions that are now standing at the gate of the hospital are the original objects of the Dazhong Xiangfu Temple, which was dug out of the ground when the hospital was expanded.
