Approaching the Temple of Shui Sheng

Many people call it "Shui Sheng Temple". For example, Shui Sheng Temple in Mianyang City, Sichuan Province, Neijiang City in Henan Province, Zhengzhou City, Zibo City in Shandong Province, Luoyuan County in Liaoning Province, Fuzhou City, Liaoyang County, Licheng County in Shanxi Province, Dalian City in Hebei Province, Wu 'an City, Nanzheng County in Shaanxi Province, Huludao City in Liaoning Province, Song County, etc. But the Shui Sheng Temple mentioned in this article is the Shui Sheng Temple in Luoshi Town, yingshan county (formerly Xiao Peng Township).

Shui Sheng Temple is one of the famous ancient temples in Yingshan, which was recorded in Ming Dynasty. Yingshan County Records: "Shui Sheng Temple, Wuli, Ancient Temple. Renovation in Jiaqing Year. " It is said that the ancient county was once next to Shui Sheng Temple. With the change of years, the incense decreased, the monks left, and it became a school. Until 20 17, the last teacher left here to teach in Xiao Peng. Since then, I have become more and more depressed and depressed, completely losing the prosperity of the past and suddenly becoming silent.

Yang Bokai, founder of Yingshan Branch of the Communist Party of China and dean of Sino-French University, studied here.

The mountain behind Shui Sheng Temple is called Shui Sheng Temple Beam, and the mountain on the right is called Lion Bag.

Although the scenery of Shui Sheng Temple is no longer beautiful, there are many beautiful legends that have been circulated for a long time.

Magical ancient well. There is a well next to Shui Sheng Temple, which is clean and pure, and tastes sweet and comfortable. This well has two outlets, one of which is complementary to the other, and is called Shui Sheng Spring. According to local people, when one of the two wells is blocked, the other well will be turbid, and the water flowing out of the two wells will be clear immediately after the blocked well is dredged. People call it longan water.

Beautiful poem. Li Chuyuan, a scholar in Ming Dynasty and inspector of Henan Road, visited here many times and was attracted by the magic of this well. He wrote the famous poem "Shui Sheng watches spring":

The wild temple is full of smoke, and the wind and rain are west.

Clouds pass through the stone sinus Longfei Grottoes, and springs surround Tianchi and cross the flood.

The ancient wood is depressed in the cold color, the old monk said in vain.

When I was pregnant, I reached the stairs, and the rotten grass left red leaves.

In addition to Li Chuyuan, Tang Chen, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, came to this beautiful place and wrote a wonderful poem called "The Temple of Holy Water":

During the ten years here, I have a small body, and I also love a couch in the meditation hall.

Knowing that grass should bind your feet, Baiyun has no intention of keeping me.

As soon as the thunderstorm landed, the sky was clear in Wan Li.

When I came back to look for the old one today, the mountain bird knew everything and said everything.

An ancient legend. Below the ancient well is a weir pond. It is said that when the local villagers were repairing and cleaning the foundation, they found that the original weir was made of stone statues of temples, which showed the prosperity of Shui Sheng Temple at that time.

It is said that when the Eight Kings pacified Sichuan, they killed both the villagers and Shang in a mountain bay near the temple. The blood of the murdered people dyed the pond in this mountain bay, which was later called Xuetangwan.

In Shui Sheng Temple, a local villager said that when he was rummaging through the house, he saw with his own eyes the words "The vast world is sacred, the underground is Wang Guan, hunting and sailing, and the sacred water country is immortal" engraved on the tiles of the house beam of Shui Sheng Temple.

Listening to the ancient legends of Shui Sheng Temple, reading the excellent poems of the sages, and watching the desolation of this ancient temple that has been circulating for thousands of years can not help but make people deeply moved. Really: nothing to do but dream about the past!
