The original inscription
Guanfu is the ancient capital of the past, and the famous areas of attraction are often in. Ran you should be the rush of the stagecoach road, and receive the ancestral road for the scholar and the doctor. In the distance, Lintong Wentang is the ruins of Tang Huaqing Palace; nearby, the Eight Immortals Nunnery outside Changle Gate is the ruins of Tang Xingqing Palace. Yuan Wencheng (4) has been seen in the reporter also.
Gai Tang Chu Wei Ling (5) Yuan resistance, Wen Jiao Qin (qín) Shi. Guoxue is both established, confucius temple Xi Jue Xi Tan, is a revered teacher, but also with Wen de Rou yuanren.
Therefore, between Zhenkai and Therefore, more than 8,000 people from all over the world studied in Chang'an, and the Shijiao, Jingjiao, Islam, and Xiān (6) religions were allowed to build temples in The Beijing Division, and the Hongchang Pope. Lao Tzu was honored as the Xuanyuan Emperor, and Taoism spread particularly widely. Therefore, in the same article, the Ming Hu Yue family (7) is prosperous, and the capital of Long Shang and the view of all nations are also. In the middle and late, the sound and spirit rest, and the more than the present and the future.
In view of this, the country has an inherent culture of zhū to promote popular sentiment. Therefore, those whose ancestors have great deeds in Qin, Ruoqiao Mausoleum, Ruomao Mausoleum, Ruozhao Mausoleum, Weiyang Abandoned Garden, Huaqing Ancient Pond, will be ordered to do it. 迺 (8) 葺迺理, that is, the stone carvings of the forest of steles, also make the movement positive and surplus.
Envy (9) Nie Shi Xingxiu, is it not a matter of extravagance and appearance, pleasing the eyes and ears of all the people? I want the people to look at the past, restore the prosperity of the nation in the past, and jointly bow me Pi Pi Ji (10) also! And the ruins of the Si'an and Tang Palaces, and they are close to the Annex Guo, for the crown cover to travel to and from (11) the resting place, is not it a big lack of canon?
Tang Xu'an's alchemist (12) was well-educated and virtuous, saying: "Since the country is a people's spirit with victory, the cultivation of Si'an cannot be slowed down." ”
Make a grand ambition, make a fundraiser. Since Chairman Shao Lizi, Director Yang Hucheng, Chairman Sun Weiru, and President Wang Yiran, all of them have lost huge sums of money. The money is used for both storage, and the People of Zi are engaged in work. Doors, rooms, halls, halls, four of the five, three of the three, two as many as the four of the five. With the national currency of 24,000 (13), the period begins in March and is completed in October.
Gong Gong Gong, for example, is recorded, and belongs to the stone of Guangyu Wenli's sacrifice. Guangyu Nai revealed a righteous name: The Taoist is shishigeya, since the beginning of the western Han Dynasty. Qin Fa cattle hair Lu left, withered Wencheng. Xiao Cao's sages revered Huang Lao, recuperated, and ruled by Chengwen Jing. Later, Wu Hou ruled Shu and Yi Hou Xiang Tang, and sincerely showed their people, both close to the Taoist rule, and both were almost as well-off as those. Isn't it the autumn of the Yuan Yuan (14) withering wings? The treatment is Confucian or slow, there is no tranquility, and the effect of calming the people may be able to treat the symptoms.
The Eight Immortals, or see the Book of Tang, or see the Other Transmission. Although the Tao is different, it is transcendent, and it is only a matter of moral tranquility. In the early days of the party and the republic, Baidu construction cannot be a quiet rule, and it must not be without a quiet heart. The heart is pure and quiet, the country before the family, not selfish and unfavorable, which is in line with the purpose of the current country's clean government.
Mr. Liu Guyu (15) Yun: "The Yun Daoist in the "Records of History" refers to Confucius. "Gol, Confucianism and Taoyuan are not separated!" In the case of Lao Tzu's gifts, Confucius asked for gifts, and the old and Kong were related to the family!
Decorated with victory as a popular sentiment, reverence for morality to support governance, guests greet and send them off. The Shukuni Ofshin of the Jishu Temple, the so-called one who does one thing and gets the three good deeds! Hence the Great Book. The title of Ruofu's donation and the duration of his work are in the inscription, and hereby does not repeat the clouds.
In June of the 27th year of the Republic of China (1939 in the Western calendar), the Standing Stone of Tang Xu'an and the Dao Zhongtong (16) of the Prison Yuan, guo Xi'an (17) in the door was carved.

Vernacular translation
Written by Xingping Feng Guangyu, written by Chang'an Song Liankui, and written by Fuping Gao shuji.
The Guanzhong region of Shaanxi Is the former capital of successive dynasties and has always preserved the famous ancient ruins. However, the Guanzhong area is a particularly important strategic location, and it is also a transportation fortress for scholars to greet vips and practice farewell. To put it further aside, the hot springs in Xi'an's Lintong District are the ruins of the Huaqing Palace in the Tang Dynasty; closer, the Eight Immortals Nunnery outside the Changle Gate of the Xi'an City Wall is the site of the Xingqing Palace of the Tang Dynasty. Yuan Baoheng, the Duke of Wencheng, once recorded this.

Note: In ancient times, there was another small city outside the city wall, called Chengguo
To this day, there are still names for "South Guomen" and "North Guomen" in the Dongguan area of Xi'an
All are derived from the former castle gates
Due to the strong military power in the early Tang Dynasty, cultural construction was also prosperous. In terms of education, the state formulated the principle and policy of Confucianism, using the Confucius Temple as an important place, and granting titles and titles to the Confucius Temple, and honoring virtuous teachers like Confucius. The charm of traditional Chinese culture attracts many foreigners.
The Tang Dynasty and the Chang'an Kingdoms came to the Dynasty
Therefore, between the Zhenguan period and the Kaiyuan period (627-741 in the Western calendar), there were more than 8,000 students from various countries in Chang'an. Foreign religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, Islam, and Zoroastrianism are allowed to open their own religious sites in the capital Chang'an to promote their respective religious cultures. Despite this, the state only honored Lao Tzu as the "Xuanyuan Emperor" of the Tang Dynasty, and Taoism was particularly widespread. In order to avoid the conflicts brought about by cultural differences, the state has enacted a unified law that requires people of all ethnic groups to gather together and enjoy each other.5 In this way, in the strong and prosperous Chang'an City, we can see the customs and customs of different countries. By the middle and late Tang Dynasty, this kind of prosperity and prestige had ceased, and the society at that time was more unstable than the current situation.
Floor plan of Tang Chang'an City
Taking this into account, the Nationalist government should carry forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture and enrich and inspire people's spiritual world. Therefore, as long as they are in the Guanzhong area, such as the Bridge Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor of Xuanyuan, the Mao Mausoleum of Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, the Zhao Mausoleum of Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong of Tang, the ruins of Weiyang Palace in the Han Dynasty, and the ruins of Huaqingchi in the Tang Dynasty, they are all listed in detail and instructed by their superiors to repair them. So these ruins were repaired and repaired, and at the moment, carved stone tablets were put together to adequately supply these places.
Is the painstaking effort to restore the appearance of these sites to a good end, just to use the luxurious appearance to pretend in front of foreigners? This is the hope that people can look back at the historical and cultural relics of their own country, restore the prosperity of the past, and work together to contribute to the prosperity of the country! And this Taoist temple is also on the site of the Xingqing Palace in the Tang Dynasty, and in the city near the city wall, which is the residence where government officials often rest, but it has not been restored, is it not a pity?
Tang Xu'an, the superintendent of the Eight Immortals Palace, who had profound knowledge and extraordinary pure Taoist behavior, said: "Since the state hopes to invigorate the people's spirits through scenic spots and monuments, the restoration of this Taoist temple cannot be delayed." ”

A long-term goal was set, and a roster of donations was created to support the construction. Shao Lizi, former chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, Yang Hucheng, director of the Shaanxi Appeasement Office, Sun Weiru, chairman of the Shaanxi Provincial Government, Wang Yiran, president of the Chang'an Chamber of Commerce, and other people from all walks of life in politics and business have donated large sums of money. After saving this money, he hired a carpenter to measure and start construction, and rebuilt the doors, rooms, halls, and halls in the Taoist temple. After the reconstruction, there are four of the five-tree halls and three of the three-trees. The squatter rooms in the corridors on both sides were also increased by twenty rooms, like four five-rooms. These infrastructure costs a total of 24,000 national dollars, starting in march of the lunar calendar and completing in October of the lunar calendar.

After the completion of the construction project, as usual, this matter should be recorded, and when there is a history to follow in the future, I was instructed to write an article and prepare to engrave it on the stele. I will give this idea: the importance of Taoist thought in governing society began with the founding of the Western Han Dynasty. Because of the extremely strict laws of the previous Qin Dynasty, many families were poor and miserable, resulting in the decline and loss of cultural construction. Therefore, sages like Xiao He and Cao Shan, who took Huang Lao Thought as the political guideline, reduced the burden on the people, stabilized the people's lives, and promoted population development, which led to a great era like the "rule of Wenjing". In the years that followed, Zhuge Liang, the Marquis of Hanwu, governed the Shu state, and Li Bi, the Marquis of Yi, assisted Tang Xuanzong and sincerely assisted their leaders, all of which were close to the ideal realm of Taoist rule, and almost reached a moderately prosperous society. Aren't the people now living under dire conditions? In this case, the use of Confucian political concepts to govern is somewhat slow and ineffective, bringing people a peaceful life. Stabilizing the people with a policy of moderation and calm may solve the fundamental problem.
Several of the Eight Immortals are recorded in the historical documents of the Tang Dynasty, and several are mentioned in other biographies. Although the Taoism of each immortal is different, they are all free from the troubles of the world, and they are always carried out with the purpose of cultivating morality and purifying the body and mind. Today, the two parties of the Kuomintang and the Communist Party of China have joined hands to resist Japan and save the country, and all aspects of construction cannot be carried out without a quiet governance policy and a quiet heart. Once the mind is quiet, it will put the interests of the state in the first place, do not seek personal gain, do not harm oneself, and put personal problems to be solved later. The Taoist ideology is the same as the main purpose of the state advocating honesty and honesty.

My mentor, Mr. Liu Guyu, said: "The Taoists mentioned in the "Records of History" refer to Confucius. "This is true, because in the time of Confucius and Laozi, There was no difference between Confucianism and Taoism at all! What's more, Confucius greeted Lao Tzu, and Lao Tzu taught Confucius that Lao Tzu (a person who studied Taoism) and Confucius (a person who studied Confucianism) were all family!
Confucius asked Lao Tzu
Embellishing places of interest and monuments to enhance people's confidence in the country's traditional culture, advocating Taoist ideas to assist in social governance, and receiving and sending off guests here at the Eight Immortals Palace summarize the true restoration record of this Taoist temple. This is to do one thing and get three benefits! So excitedly write these words.
As for the list of merits donated to the temple and the date of construction, the items on the back of the stone stele are not much to say. In June of the 27th year of the Republic of China (1939 in the Western calendar), Tang Xu'an and all the Taoists jointly erected a monument, which was carved by Guo Xi'an.
