Saga-ji Temple Streets
Saga Temple Lane got its name from the temple, but the temple is gone. The lane is located in the jurisdiction of Jiefang Subdistrict, in the north of the city, meeting Zengjia Lane and Tianwang Temple in the east, Tanzi Lane in the west, and Luwu Lane in the middle, which is slightly curved. The western section is slightly higher. It is 245 meters long and 2 to 4 meters wide, and is a residential area.
The middle section of the laneway originally had Saga Temple, and the alley was named after the temple. Qing Tongzhi's "Ganxian Chronicle" contains the name of the Saga Temple. The only place in the whole country called Saga Temple is Ganzhou. Due to the high and steep terrain of Ganzhou Castle Mountain, the temple built on top of this Saga Steep Isai Temple.
Saga-ji Temple, the place of martyrdom of Mr. Mingguo Xueji. Guo Xueji, also known as Guo Weijing, was the superintendent of Shougan in the name of the two Shangshu of the Official's Department and the Bingbu At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the city was destroyed, and he set himself on fire at Saga Temple and died.
The original Saga Temple was abolished as early as the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the People's Republic. After the abolition of the imperial examination at the end of the Qing Dynasty, in 1906, the first county higher primary school in Ganxian County was set up in the Eilean Academy, and most of the students enrolled at that time were teenagers around the age of 16. Around 1910, Ganxian added a second prefectural higher school, the school site is in the present-day Saga Temple Primary School, renamed the county second primary school in the early Republic of China, also known as the county model primary school; during the War of Resistance, it was the fourth school of the Ganzhou Town Center National School, and later renamed Saga Primary School. That's why Sagaji Elementary School is a veritable century-old school.
Saga Temple, because it was built on the Saga Mountains, got its name. Saga, there are many layers of meaning. Can refer to the height of the mountain. The "Zhao Hermit" of the "Chu Ci Huainan Hills" is recorded: "The mountain qi is cresty and the stone is saga, and the valley is shiny and rocky and the water has been waved." Wang Yi's note: "Saga Ridge, Junzhi Riye." Tang Dynasty Tang Yanqian's poem "Sending Xu Hu Cao": "The general Lou Ship sends a huge song, and the cloud tree is high in the sky." Ming Dynasty Liang Chenyu "Huan Sha Ji Tou Wu": "Baodian Saga to Zi Chen, the curtain reflects the blue clouds." ”
Junqing "Midsummer Night on the Seaside": "The mountains here are not as delicate and beautiful as the mountains in Jiangnan, but they are very majestic and saga." Also refers to towering mountains. Song Dynasty Lu You "Notes on the Old School" Volume VII: "When Ouyang Gong who Yiling, Shi Yun: 'The lone peak on the river hides the green lotus, and the county building is facing Saga all day long. It can also be understood as standing. Yao He of the Tang Dynasty "Send Pan Chuanxiu to Xuanzhou" poem: "Li Bai's tomb is three feet, and the ancient name of Saga is elongated." Song Dynasty Fan Chengda's poem "Spring Mirror With Feeling": "Habits do not understand the old, and the heart is strong." ”
Hou Fangyu of the Qing Dynasty", "Treatise on the Valley of Ren Wanggu": "Those who transport their bones to the qi, such as boats between the Yangtze River and the sea... Gou can steer the star, the intention is not chaotic, and he can avoid the loss of drifting. This Han Ou zhuzi is therefore alone in the middle stream. Liu Yazi "On the Six Absolute Verses of Poetry" No. 4: "An old man in western Zhejiang is self-saga, and the poets under the door are not blackmailed." "It can also be understood as bumpy. Ming Dynasty Qian Shisheng "Man Ting Fang" words: "The past is a thousand ends, idle sorrows, and countless sagas in the world." ”
Ganzhou City has been stacked with mountains since ancient times, and it is said that "three mountains and five mountains". That is, the officials, temples, schools, shops, and people in Ganzhou City are mostly built on the three mountains and five ridges, except for the streets and homes adjacent to Yongjinmen, Jianchunmen, and Yummen, all the buildings are mostly on the mountains of Saga, so Ganzhou City has never been afraid of flooding, even if the flood enters the city, it will never go up the mountain, but only slightly flood the road surface of the city gate, that is, the lower cotton cloth street and Yunfeng Lane can not be flooded. This is the benefit of building a castle on the Saga Mountains.
In the ancient city of Ganzhou, banyan trees are everywhere, not only the banyan trees on the six banks of the three rivers, but also its huge figure can be seen everywhere in the city. The banyan trees on the six banks of the Three Rivers were mainly planted in the early years of the Qianlong Dynasty, because the floods often washed away the embankments, and Zhang Zhaocheng, who was then the Zhi County of Ganxian County, led the soldiers and people of the city to plant a large number of banyan trees on the banks of the river, so that today it is a scene.
Today, Saga-ji Temple has long been buried deep and has become the ashes of history. However, Saga-ji Temple did not seem to be dead. A school named after it survives.
On the playground of Saga Temple Elementary School, there is the largest ancient banyan tree in Ganzhou. There are still 108 ancient banyan trees in the ancient town of Qili in Shuidong. There are also a few ancient banyan trees in the city's Ganzhou Park, Gujiaowei Wharf, South Gate, Saga Temple Elementary School, Gannan Hotel, etc., of which the one in the Saga Temple Small College is the most spectacular.
The Saga-ji Elementary School campus is not large, and there are two buildings facing each other from east to west, and the giant banyan tree is located on the empty space between them. Seeing the giant banyan tree, it is easy to imagine that he is the son of life facing the ancient city of Ganzhou. Gu Rong is dressed in green, standing on top of the sky, calm posture, luxurious and elegant.
It is surrounded by seven people, with a chest diameter of two meters and five meters, and the branches and leaves are shaped like a canopy, touching the houses on both sides, scattering to the heavens on all sides, playing with the wind all year round, lingering with the clouds, and flirting with the rain. Its lush and robust life seemed to be in its prime, and it took half a day to understand from the signage that it had a life course of more than three hundred years. You can see its green leaves and evergreen heroic appearance, and it is not old after a thousand years of wind and clouds.
Under the banyan tree, in the shade of the green, in the scenery, absorbing knowledge and reading life is a kind of happiness for teachers and students here. As opposed to a tree that symbolizes the life of Ganzhou City, this mutual reading, human life will be exalted.
When the warm sun pours down, the broken leaves are smeared like gold. A warm, hundred-line poem overflows the countryside of the poet's chest.
