Excuse me, does anyone know where the Tangjia Wenchang Temple in Zhuhai is? Please answer if you know, thank you very much! Thank you~

The intersection of Datong Road and Xindizhi Street in Tangjiawan Town is the Tangjia Wenchang Temple in Zhuhai.

Originally, there was only one temple, namely Tang Sheng Temple, which was located on the bank of Tangjiawan in Zhuhai, at the intersection of Datong Road and Xindizhi Street in Tangjiawan Town. It consists of Tang Sheng Temple, Wu Wen Temple and Jinhua Temple. Tangjiasan Temple is the oldest, largest and most well-preserved ancient temple in Zhuhai. The Tang Temple, built before the Ming Dynasty, originally had only one temple, which was regarded as the ancestral temple of the Tang family.

When it was completed, Tang Jiafu moved here.

According to the legend of the old people in the village, the ancestral hall was built about 800 years ago, and the ancestors of Tang Heliang in the village just moved to the Tang family. Based on this, it is speculated that the construction of the temple is almost equivalent to the history of the Tang family. The modern cultural history of Zhuhai also began from this time.

Three temples of different religions live in one place.

Different religious sects are incompatible with each other, and few three temples live together. However, hundreds of years after the temple was built, Tang ancestors successively built Wuwen Temple and Jinhua Temple on the right side of the temple. Not only that, the arrangement of gods in the temple is even more amazing. In the temple, the statue of Sakyamuni coexists with the Taoist immortal Emperor Tian Xuan (Northern Emperor) and the medical spiritual emperor. The main hall of Wuwen Temple is dedicated to Emperor Guan and Emperor Wenchang, as well as General Zhou Cang and Prince Guan Ping in The Romance of the Three Kingdoms. In the Golden Flower Temple, Poseidon, the wife of Tianhou, and the wife of Golden Flower who sent the children sit together.

Buddhism, Taoism, land gods and Confucianism in the three temples, as the synthesis of multi-religious cultures, excited the experts who visited the research center of national famous historical and cultural cities for the first time.

Three temples: blue brick roof, red face withered

At first glance, the three temples are side by side, which is not much different from the ordinary ancestral temple in Guangdong. In fact, this is not a traditional ancestral hall, but three interrelated and relatively independent ancestral halls. The three temples are lined up, with Wu Wen Temple in the middle, Tang Sheng Temple on the left and Jinhua Temple on the right.

The overall structure of the temple is still complete, the walls are simple, most of them are blue-gray, and there are a few traces of grass green and cinnabar painting on the eaves and beams. The glazed tile roof, which was originally full of brilliance, was seriously damaged, revealing a black skeleton, which was difficult to hide the vicissitudes of hundreds of years. The bricks on the temple wall have also become mottled with historical sites because of long-term wind and rain erosion.

According to Tang Guanting, editor-in-chief of the accompanying Tangjiawan Overseas Chinese News, the Tangjiasan Temple was not built at the beginning, but was expanded in stages. The third temple is located in the northwest to southeast, with a mixed structure of blue brick roof and bucket beam. It is 32.73 meters wide and 29.6 meters deep. There is a platform as long as the third temple in front of the door, about 1 m from the ground. With low walls, it is13.5m long, with a total area of about1.500m2..

According to the records of Tangjiawan Town, Tangjiasan Temple has been rebuilt many times in history. At present, the main building was rebuilt in the second year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1863). The magnificent fragrant jungle we see today covers thousands of square meters. It was the last major repair and expansion of the temple in the second year of Tongzhi (1863), with a history of 140 years.

1. Hongkai Daqi Fajie Zongmen Tang Sheng Temple

Among the three temples, Tang Sheng Temple has the longest history and was built before the Ming Dynasty. Behind the temple is Goose Peak, in front is Zhuhai, on the left is Jinxingmen, and on the right is Heling. Buddha's epiphany stone is in the center behind the hall. Therefore, it is called the treasure house of the Tang family.

The architectural style of Tang Sheng Temple is two entrances and one patio, with a fragrant pavilion in the middle, a rest peak in the main hall and a hard peak in the lobby. The calligraphy of "Tang Sheng Temple" is engraved on the temple gate, and the two couplets are "the door of sects enlightened and the dharma world opened", and the font is vigorous and powerful. There is Siddhartha Gautama in the middle of the Buddhist temple, Tian Xuan the Great and the Medical Spirit Emperor on the left and right sides, and a pile of figurines lined up on the left and right sides of the statue of the Lord God. On the left are Wu Judge, Dragon Tree King, Kang Gong Zhen Jun, Marshal and Fang Marshal, and on the right are Marshal Yin, Marshal Wang, Emperor, King Hong Sheng, Marshal Che Gong and Judge Wen.

Far from the image of a kind-hearted Buddha in the eyes of ordinary people, the statue of Sakyamuni enshrined in the temple is majestic, with three sides and six arms, a black face and round eyes. The old man Tang Guanting said that this statue is very different from Sakyamuni statues in other temples in Zhuhai. It should be the Buddha statue of Lamaism, the state religion of the Yuan Dynasty, based on the statue of Sakyamuni. At present, only Tibet and the Lama Temple in Beijing have this kind of Buddha statue. As for why the Buddha statue of Lamaism was enshrined at that time? Future generations are unknown.

Tang Sheng Temple is the oldest Buddhist temple in Xiangshan County. Tang Guanting said that the temple has been overhauled many times. From the beginning of its establishment to the present, the main building of the temple has only the main seat of the Hero Hall and some walls made of rubble concrete and oyster shells. The Echo Wall in the northeast of Tang Sheng Temple is said to have been inherited from ancient times. It was rammed by the ancestors of Tang and Liang with oyster shells and mud. This wall is very strong and cool. In addition, to this day, I still feel that I am speaking in this chanting, with a loud voice and an echo.

2. Wuwen Temple, with seven stars, high honor and double saints, is the same.

Wuwen Temple, also called Wuwen Temple, was built a little later than Tang Sheng Temple. According to the inscription in the temple, its architectural age is about the early Qing Dynasty.

Wendi Temple is a building with three entrances and two patios. In the middle of each entrance, there are five beams with short melon purlins, and the front and rear beams are carved with slate, all of which are hard tops. Sitting in the main hall of Wu Wen Temple are brightly colored Emperor Wenchang and the majestic Emperor Guan Sheng, as well as a tall red hare and Zhou Cang with a golden seal in his hand.

According to records, since the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the official land and Wenchang Tudor were enshrined together, known as the God of Wealth, and the incense was flourishing. Guan Dijun, or Guan Gong, is a sacrifice of Buddhism and Taoism. In Buddhism, it is called Galand Bodhisattva, and in Taoism, it is called Wu Caishen. Guan Dijun represents loyalty, righteousness, benevolence and honor; Emperor Wenchang, also known as Wenquxing, stands for fame and wealth, because he is knowledgeable and in charge of people's wisdom.

The old man Tang Guanting told the reporter that the main building of Wudi Hall was rebuilt in the second year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1863). Most of the fine Shiwan ceramics inlaid on the main ridge and cornices of Wendi Hall were added at that time, including Buddha's light, relics and dragons. , are all famous works. The temple tablets "Wendi Hall" and "Seven Stars Glory, Two Sages", the temple tablet and the temple tablet "Realizing the enlightenment from the clan and making great use of the statutes" are all scholars in the Qing Dynasty. They have been the governors of Shaanxi, the capital of Sichuan, and the Xiangshan people of Fujian, and all of them have strict books. Several stone carvings preserved in Wuwentang recorded the precious historical materials of the Tang family's military defense, overseas Chinese, economic development and the activities of historical figures in the Qing Dynasty.

3. Hewlett-Packard Cang Sheng in Sipei Pool of Jinhua Temple

Jinhua Temple is the youngest of the three temples in the Tang Dynasty. According to the inscription, it was built in the forty-fourth year of Qing Qianlong (AD 1779) and dedicated to Lady Jinhua.

Jinhua Temple, the present temple, is an ancient building rebuilt in the second year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1863). This temple is a hard-topped building with two entrances and a patio. The original Champs Elysé es was destroyed and now it is rebuilt in 1993.

The main hall of Jinhua Temple is dedicated to the kind lady Jinhua. On both sides, there are 18 destitute women and five boys dancing dragons and lions, which are the temples where pilgrims pray for their children. In addition to offering sacrifices to Mrs. Jinhua, the temple also offers sacrifices to gods such as Tianhou Palace.

The plaques of Jinhua Temple are "Jinhua Temple" and "Sipei Pool"; HP Zang Sheng Temple Association, written by Tang Buying (Zeng), a scholar of the Tang family, in the second year of Tongzhi (1863).

Lady Jinhua is a goddess enshrined in the Pearl River Delta region. The Golden Flower Temple is the hope of parents for their children. Those who have no children come here to pray for their children, and those who have children come to pray for their safety and academic success.

The "Buddha's Light Stone" is still under the Lotus.

The same story has been circulated in the village for generations. In ancient times, the place where the Tang Temple was built was originally a large forest, and on the left was a piece of Wang Yang sea. One day, a fisherman passed by fishing in the morning and saw bursts of cigarettes floating in the forest, as if he could still hear chanting and knocking on wooden fish. He parted the vines and went in. He found a stone inside, which looked like a Buddha statue. Go back and tell the villagers that they all thought it was a sign of the Buddha's appearance, so they mobilized the whole village to raise money and build a temple there to worship. According to legend, the stone of Buddha's epiphany is still under the lotus seat of Buddha Sakyamuni enshrined in the main hall of the temple.

Matoujun fought against the Japanese army to save the Tang family.

On the left side of the front hall of Wuwen Temple, a general named Fuma is enshrined, and the villagers call him Matoujun. This general specializes in raising horses for Guan Gong, and his red hare is a swift horse. According to the legend in the village, a long time ago, there were pirates on the beach of Tangjia. For several nights in a row, the villagers heard the running and neighing of horses outside the house, as well as the sound of fighting with Haikou. Since then, everything in the village has been calm. The villagers believe that Matoujun resisted the invasion of pirates and blessed the safety of the Tang family.

Miss Jinhua threw herself into the lake when she got married.

During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, a woman in Guangzhou was in dystocia and was very anxious. Unexpectedly, she was very sleepy and dozed off. She dreamed that an old man pointed out, "Please ask Miss Jinhua to keep mother and son safe." The patrolman sent someone to find a folk girl named "Jinhua" and took her home. Coincidentally, as soon as Miss Jinhua entered the backyard, his wife gave birth to the baby safely. Since then, Miss Jinhua has become "Guanyin", and people from all over the country come to her to ask for children or deliver babies. An ordinary village girl was gradually deified, and finally no one dared to marry her. Miss Jinhua languished day by day and finally threw herself into the lake. People call this lake Fairy Lake, and there is a Golden Flower Temple to commemorate Golden Flower, and April 17th of the lunar calendar is designated as Golden Flower's birthday every year. Before liberation, there were many golden flower temples in the Pearl River Delta, where incense was flourishing. On Jinhua's birthday, vendors gather and troupe performances last for several days, which is very lively.

Before liberation, immortals were invited to "patrol the streets" on Dragon Boat Festival every year.

Tang's old man recalled that before liberation, every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, the three silent temples on weekdays would become very lively. "At four o'clock in the afternoon, I began to wander, commonly known as playing bodhisattva. The adults dressed up Hua Tuo, Tianhou Niangniang, Wenchang Dijun, Eighteen Nannies, Wuhou Gong and other gods, and accompanied them with dragon chairs to patrol the streets one by one. The procession is vast, with dragon and lion dances, colorful flags dancing and playing music, beating gongs and drums and setting off firecrackers and salutes. The scene is very lively. From time to time, the villagers who watched along the way bowed down to incense and prayed for good weather and good harvests. Every household burns thick incense behind the door and hangs wormwood at the door. " After liberation, various religious and folk activities of the Tang Temple were gradually suspended. When Wanshan Islands were liberated, Tangjiasan Temple was used as a temporary place where the PLA was stationed. 1958, Tangjiasan Temple was also converted into a kindergarten. Lang Lang's reading voice replaced hundreds of years of Sanskrit. During the "Cultural Revolution", all the Buddha statues in the Tangjiasan Temple were destroyed and turned into warehouses for storing grain in the village. Fortunately, however, several bluestone inscriptions on the temple wall have been completely preserved. At present, the Buddha statues of the three temples were rebuilt by 1993, so please ask the master in Fujian to copy them according to the memories of the old people.

Worship God when going out to sea or crossing the sea.

"Baishengtang Temple can be protected by ancestors, while Wuwen Temple represents the moral quality of Tang people's letters and charity and the enterprising spirit of eager to make contributions." Although the incense sticks in the three temples of the Tang family are gone, the Tang people who have lived here for generations still regard the three temples as the spirit and shelter of their ancestors. Before the fishermen in the village went out to sea or businessmen and scholars crossed the ocean, they used to visit these three temples and pray for smooth sailing.

Liang Bo, the temple keeper, told the reporter that there are few religious activities in the Tangjiasan Temple now, but many residents are still used to going to worship in the temple on the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month. Many old people come almost every day to burn incense and pray, or just chat with other old people in front of the temple.

At this time, not far from the temple, Grandma Liang, who was in her eighties, leaned against the old house made of blue bricks with crutches and looked at the three temples from a distance. It turned out that she was waiting to see if the old man in front of the temple had come. When there are many people, she will join in the fun, chat and catch up. Grandma Liang said that when the weather is fine, every day at two o'clock in the afternoon, the old people begin to gather in front of the temple to chat, and some go to the temple to pray and relieve their worries. Speaking of those ancient temples, she shook her head and said slowly, "it's been a long time, I don't remember." When I asked her if she remembered the appearance of the previous three temples, she pouted and smiled and said, "It's as beautiful as it is now."

Huang, who often plays cards in front of the temple, said: "The three temples are of great significance to the elderly, which means unforgettable historical achievements in the past, spiritual sustenance in the present and hope in the future."

Hong, who runs a restaurant, is completely different. She said that she didn't often go to the Three Temples. "Every day, there will be an endless stream of tourists visiting here, so I won't take up the place and let those tourists have more opportunities to learn about Tangjia Town and Sanmiao."

On the first and fifteenth days, everyone in the village will come here to pray.

As a generation of Tang family born in 1980s, 20-year-old Ronaldinho wanted to visit the three temples of Tang family with friends from other places, so he went to visit them specially. Ronaldinho is wearing a brand-name sports T-shirt, jeans and an MP3 player around his neck, which is very fashionable. He knows the history and customs of the Tang Temple like the back of his hand.

"Some people may think that these three ancient temples are being forgotten by young people. In fact, the three temples, together with the spirit of the ancestors of the Tang family, have deeply penetrated into the blood of our Tang family. We don't want to lose this spiritual belief that has lasted for hundreds of years and passed down for generations. " Ronaldinho said that every first and fifteenth day, young people in the village will also bring their elders to burn incense, worship and pray, and bring offerings such as apples, onions and garlic, hoping that they will be safe, and their children will be smart and count.

Nine bluestone inscriptions are more precious than ancient temples.

Tang Guanting

The head of the Council of the Tang Family Sanjian Temple, a researcher of Tang family history and culture, and the editor-in-chief of Tangjiawan Overseas Chinese Daily.

Tang Guanting believes that Tang Jiasan Temple has left behind not only Lingnan ancient buildings and beautiful myths and legends that have lasted for hundreds of years, but also nine bluestone inscriptions preserved in the temple are the most historic cultural relics. These inscriptions reflect Tangjiazhen's military defense, overseas Chinese, economic development and the activities of historical figures in the Qing Dynasty.

The maintenance of the fence is huge and difficult.

In the seventh year of Daoguang (182 1), Liang Shangju, a member of the Liang Juren, wrote in his inscription on the restoration of the Three Temples: "After the restoration, the customs are favored, the people are innocent, the morale is booming, the agricultural valley is prosperous, the merchants have many contacts, and the fish and salt are rich, almost exceeding the previous decades." It shows that the social stability and economic prosperity and progress in Tangjia area during this period. The "donors" for the two reconstructions in Qianlong and Daoguang years were the older generation in surnamed tang, Liang and neighboring towns and counties, which has certain research value for overseas Chinese to explore their ancestors and roots.

During the Xianfeng period, there were foxes in the Tang family. "The fox is fierce and sleepy, and is frightened by the barking of dogs in the middle of the night; Although the heavy door is forced out, the second is more exciting than the crow ... "So, we call on everyone to donate money to build a fence.

In the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), Tang Buying wrote an inscription to rebuild the Great Wall, and his son Tang donated an inscription to Shanghai County in September of the second year of Xianfeng as an encouragement, which also showed the position of the three major temples of the Tang family, especially the temples in the social history of the Tang family. "The fence is more than 260 feet in total, the cotton wall is like the Great Wall, and the labor cost is more than 2 100. Construction started on the sixth day of July and was completed on the third day of October ... "Thus, the reconstruction of Tangjia purse seine project is huge and arduous. In order to promote the long-term stability of his hometown, the Tang family, who is doing business in the region, donated money again and again to repair the fence. At the same time, the inscription records the situation that a Taiping Army assembled for rectification in Tangjia and Qi 'ao Sea in central Guangdong.

Today, this section of concrete wall, which has experienced nearly 150 years, is still partially preserved.

During the Westernization Movement, the Tang family earned a lot of money.

In the first year of Tongzhi (1862), a typhoon blew down the Champs of Tang Sheng Temple, and the Tangjiasan Temple was seriously damaged. Because many Tang merchants made a fortune at home and abroad at that time, they quickly raised more than 10 thousand taels of silver and carried out large-scale reconstruction and expansion of the three major temples, which is the main body of the three Datang temples we see today. It can be seen that in the middle of the18th century, with the gradual increase of Tang's study abroad and the prosperity of Tang's trade, more and more Tang began to make a living in other places and own their own industries.

According to the inscription, only about 2,200 yuan was raised for two reconstruction projects in Jiaqing nine years and Daoguang seven years, indicating that the social forces in Tangjia area were not developed at that time, and the national economy was limited to the small-scale peasant economy. However, during the Westernization Movement after the "five-port trade", Tang's economy made rapid progress. Although Xianfeng raised only 2,200 yuan when he built the Tangjiaqiang project within four years, after repeated donations from Tang merchants in Shanghai, the project of rebuilding the Three Temples ten years later raised more than 1 1200 yuan at once. In addition, Jiangxi Hometown Association, headed by Tang Sheng Temple, was able to provide loans of more than RMB16,200 to the Tangs Hometown Training Bureau, which showed that the Tangs' pioneering spirit was eclectic during the Westernization Movement and made them achieve great economic achievements.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, it was like a township "administrative organization".

In Zifang Yingpu, which was rebuilt by Xianfeng for five years, it is recorded that Tang Mai "invited the Jiangxi Association for the ancestral temple, and even set up a secretary of the pharmacy to wish it", "built a building behind the temple, which is the venue of the conference ..." In the inscription "Rebuilding the Three Temples in the Second Year of Tongzhi", there is also "Yong Lian Hongcheng", which was built in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China.

It was not until the establishment of the township government in the Republic of China that the administrative role of Tang Temple gradually declined, but it still played the role of social welfare. Relying on the huge "incense income", Tangjiasan Temple not only supports the Chinese medicine practitioners in the village all the year round, but also provides warm clothes and cleaning for the lonely elderly, and at the end of each year, it also presents annual meat to the elderly in the township regardless of gender, surname and poverty to show respect for the elderly. Until the temple in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression was appropriated by the Japanese army. Mace is afraid of injury.
