During the Southern Song Dynasty, a family in Tiantai County, Zhejiang Province gave birth to a son in his later years, and this baby was later Jigong. Because many strange things happened when he was born, Lohan fell to the ground, and everyone speculated that he was reincarnated as a dragon. The baby's father is called Li Maochun. He has a good relationship with Keizo Obuchi. After giving birth, he went to ask the host to give him a name. The owner named the baby Xiu Yuan. His surname is Li, so everyone calls him.

Influenced by family members, teenagers have a great interest in Buddhism. His father also hired a teacher to teach him Confucianism, and later he studied Taoism and medical skills himself, so he was a learned monk. The cultivation of this young man has not become a dude because a distant relative is a high official, but he is calm, intelligent and studious. Xiu Yuan's father died when he was young, so he lived with his uncle.

Because of his deep relationship with the Buddha, Xiu Yuan became a monk in an international temple as an adult. Since then, he has stopped using ordinary names, and the name Xiu Yuan has become a thing of the past. He has never heard of this name since he became a monk. After staying in Xiaoguo Temple for a while, he moved to Lingyin Temple, which became one of the top ten ancient temples because of him. He helps the world and saves people, and everyone calls him a living Buddha. He is crazy and ragged, and everyone calls him Ji Dian. His heroic acts, such as helping the poor and helping the needy, rejoicing in the fight against injustice, were crowned as "Ji", while "Gong" was an honorific title for a person, so later generations honored him as Ji Gong.

Where did Jigong come from? Taizhou people are very kind and proud to hear the name of Jigong, because it is the birthplace of Jigong. Anyone who has been to Tiantai Mountain will never forget this picturesque and misty mountain peak. This is a place where people are born, grow up and help the public. Speaking of which, do you have an answer for the public? Next, I will introduce in detail where Jigong is from.

Jigong's birthplace is a beautiful place, with mountains and water and a thousand-year-old temple. People there generally believe in Buddhism and think that Buddhism can bring us peace. Li Maochun, a native of Tiantai County, is a philanthropist. Unfortunately, he is over forty years old and has no children. He went to worship Buddha, and soon he finally had a son. He asked the owner of Parliament Temple to give his son a name, and the owner named him Xiu Yuan.

Influenced by my family, I am very interested in Buddhism. At the age of 29, he left the rooftop of his hometown and became a monk in Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou. After becoming a monk, she changed her normal state and became crazy. Although he is a monk, he doesn't obey any rules, doesn't avoid meat or drink, and often shuttles between willows in Yanhua Lane. Other monks were very disgusted with his behavior of corrupting family style and demanded that he be expelled from the temple. But the host of Lingyin Temple didn't think so, but said that the rules and regulations were designed for ordinary people. How can we generalize? From then on, no one dared to say that the economy was wrong.

There is also a saying that Jigong first became a monk in his hometown Xiaoguo Temple for a period of time, and then switched to Lingyin Temple. After the death of the host of Lingyin Temple, he went to Jingci Temple again. Although Jigong is a crazy monk, the world respects him. He educates people and helps all beings. The world often asks where Jigong came from, hoping to experience the breath of this living Buddha in his hometown.

In today's impression, the image of Jigong mostly comes from TV dramas or movies. Although the versions are different and the stories are different, they all leave a deep impression on people. However, Ji Gong is not a fictional character created by a screenwriter. It does exist in history, so some people may think, does the former residence of Jigong still exist? Where is the former residence of Jigong? Let's look at Jigong's former residence.

Zhejiang Tiantai Jigong former residence

First of all, let's learn about the real Jigong in history. He was born in 1 148 and died in 1209. Before becoming a monk, his name was Li Xiuyuan. He is a native of Yongning Village, Taishan, which is a native of Taizhou, Zhejiang today. The same thing in the real TV series of Jigong is that he is in rags, rags, hat and shoes and a broken fan. Besides, he is really crazy and likes to drink meat. However, he is a learned monk. During the journey, he helped the poor to cure many incurable diseases, and his deeds of fighting injustice, helping the poor and helping the poor, punishing evil and promoting good were also widely praised. Jigong's hometown is in Yongning Village, Taizhou, and the specific address is by the Zhexi River. There is a place called Longxi Garden, which is the private manor of the Li family of Jigong in the Southern Song Dynasty.

The ancestral home of Jigong has gone through the changes of the times and the baptism of the years, and has almost disappeared. However, all generations loved Dai Jigong very much, so many generations built Jigong Buddhist Temple and Jigong Pavilion in his former residence site to commemorate him. Now, Jigong's former residence has become a national 4A-level tourist attraction, forming a multi-style and multi-route tourism cultural industrial chain. There is an endless stream of people visiting here. Of course, with the increase of the number, it is necessary to increase the protection of Jigong's former residence.

Jigong monk Jigong monk's laity is Li Xiuyuan. He is from the Southern Song Dynasty. His father is called Li Maochun. It is said that he was the county magistrate of Tiantai County. Tired of pursuing fame and gain in officialdom, he resigned and retired with his family. Jigong's parents are very kind and like to give alms to the poor. People around here call them "Li". But what worries them most is that they have no son. Later, after Jigong's parents went to pray for Buddha, they finally gave birth to a son. The abbot of the temple named the child Li Xiuyuan, and later he was called Jigong. Before he died, the abbot told them that Li Xiuyuan could not be an official, but had to become a monk and worship Hui Yuan as his teacher.

Portrait of Jigong

When Li Xiuyuan was a teenager, he read widely and studied astronomy and geography deeply. He is good at poetry and songs. When his parents died at the age of fifteen, he went to Lingyin Temple in Hangzhou to become a monk. His legal name is Dorje. He has seen through the love and hate in the world. Although he is crazy, what he does is to punish evil and promote good, save the world and save the people. The voice of the monk Jigong is very high, and people call him Jigong Living Buddha.

After his parents died, Jigong felt that wealth in the world was fleeting, so the clothes, shoes, hats and fans worn by Jigong monks were worn out. Such an appearance and his crazy behavior are naturally unacceptable to the monks in Lingyin Temple. So Jigong left Lingyin Temple to practice in Jingci Temple. Although the temple where he practiced changed, what he did was good for helping the poor.

In AD 1209, the monk Jigong died, and the shadow of the living Buddha disappeared from people's sight, but his image of saving the world and saving the people remained in people's hearts.

The Story of Jigong When it comes to Jigong, everyone must have endless topics about him. Although he is in rags, wearing a worn hat and holding a tattered fan, he is a real monk who has achieved enlightenment. Among the people, he is regarded as the reincarnation of Luohan the Dragon, and he came to save people's suffering. Of course, there are also many images of Ji Gong seen on TV, such as Ji Gong in Benchang You's Travels of Ji Gong and Ji Gong in Chen Musheng's Living Buddha. Many stories happened to them. So what's the story of the real Jigong? Next, let's take a look at the story of Jigong.

Jingci Temple, Mu Yun, Gu Jing

Jigong was originally a monk in Lingyin Temple, and later came to Jingci Temple to practice. Once, a big fire broke out in the temple, which burned all the halls of Daxiong. The abbot knew that Jigong was miraculous and asked him to raise a lot of wood. But after that, Jigong didn't go anywhere. Instead, he was drunk in the temple for three days. Just when everyone was anxious about it, Jigong said loudly, "Here comes the wood. Go to the well and get it. " Sure enough, a lot of wood emerged from the well in the temple, so the monks quickly took out a lot of wood. The abbot was very happy to see so much wood and said to Jigong, "That's enough. Don't come out again." So Jigong fanned his broken fan and the wood stopped moving. Today, there is a well in Jingci Temple called "Shenyun Well", also called "Mu Yun Ancient Well". It's a well for jigong to transport wood, and the end face of the wood can also be seen in the well water.

On another occasion, Jigong calculated that a mountain would fly to Lingyin Temple. In order to save the lives of people under the mountain, he used the method of robbing the bride by monks to let the villagers save the bride, so as to avoid being crushed to death by the mountain. This mountain is today's Feilai Peak.

Of course, there are many stories about Jigong, either treating incurable diseases for people, helping the poor, or punishing the bad guys. Let's call it a day.

When Jigong was born, people were in dire straits, and people longed for the emergence of sages to save the world. When the world is not ancient and people are unable to fight against it, they are eager to see a great man who helps the world. The birth of Jigong brought people hope. Jigong is a legend, and his birth is a fairy tale. Next, I will introduce the origin of Jigong in detail.

Li Maochun is a famous good man in Tiantai County. He is past lent and has no children. He is very anxious. I prayed to the Buddha all the year round, hoping that the Buddha would give him a son, and finally got what he wanted and gave birth to a son. It is said that on the day when Jigong was born, the sky was bright and the dragon-descending arhat in the temple suddenly fell to the ground. Everyone thinks that he is the reincarnation of a dragon-falling from the sky. The abbot of Xiaoguo Temple named him Xiu Yuan, which means that the origin of fate was destroyed and the fate of ten thousand generations of families was repaired. After his parents died, Xiu Yuan was raised by his uncle. Although his family is well-off, he has no habit of being a playboy at all, and he has no desire to become a monk.

It is a great pleasure for the people to punish evil and promote good after he became a monk and save the world. His image has gradually been deified, and he has been dubbed the title of Purdue Lohan since his birth. Helping others means being crazy and saving others at the same time. His good deeds were limited before his death, but his spirit of saving lives has been passed down to this day.

Later generations deified him, hoping that the wicked would not dare to do evil. Tell those who do bad things that if others can't punish you, they will punish you one day. Jigong is a god in the eyes of the world. Some people say that he is a arhat, a living Buddha and a bodhisattva. He stands out every time he appears, as long as he has been doing things about life in the universe.
