Xinghua Temple in Yunlong Mountain is a cultural tourist attraction.

Xinghua Temple is a famous ancient temple in northern Jiangsu, located at the eastern foot of Yunlong Mountain in Xuzhou, with pleasant scenery. The temple was built by Dashi Buddha in the Northern Wei Dynasty. After thousands of years of fire, it is now the largest jungle in northern Jiangsu.

Yunlong Mountain is one of the fifty famous mountains in China, which is located to the south of Lisan Xuzhou. The mountain has nine sections, winding like a dragon and stretching for miles. Su Dongpo, a great scholar in the Song Dynasty, once described Yunlong Mountain in "Crane Pavilion Monument": "At the turn of the spring and autumn, there are all kinds of plants and trees, and it is snowy in autumn and winter."

Yunlong Mountain is also called Shifoshan. Stone Buddha refers to the stone Buddha statue at the top of the mountain, that is, the big stone Buddha in the Northern Wei Dynasty. "The small Buddha statues with a height of more than three feet and guards around them are all made of stone."

About the stone Buddha in Yunlong Mountain. According to Zhou Zhi, "In the first year of Zhengping (AD 45 1 year), Tuoba Tao led 300,000 troops to invade the Song Dynasty, stationed in Yunlong Mountain and Ximatai, and attacked Pengcheng for three months. His soldiers are free. They use weapons to chisel on the cliff, but only one Buddha's head is carved, which is big in terms of ears and solemn in terms of law. "

In the third year of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1664), it is well known that Wang Nai continued to carve two arms and chests for the stone Buddha, forming a bust of Amitabha Buddha, which was more than three feet high. Nearly a thousand small stone buddhas and cliff carvings related to Buddhist stories were made in the Tang Dynasty, with a history of 1500 years.

The temple of Xinghua Temple, according to the inscription of Xinghua Temple, there was a temple in the Song and Liang Dynasties, but it collapsed after it was repaired. In the Wuyin Year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (AD 1398), a monk built a temple and built a stone Buddha. Xuande in the Ming Dynasty was an ugly year (A.D. 1426). The main hall was burned down in a fire, and the main hall was incomplete, with only one stone Buddha.

In the seventh year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1432), the abbot Wen 'an expanded five temples, which were built on cliffs and mountains. The front wall is more than three feet high, and the back wall is only piled with three bricks, about one foot high; The overall design is dreamy and the architecture is ingenious, which combines the essence of classical architecture. Therefore, it is known as "three brick halls cover three zhangs of Buddha", which has been praised by celebrities in past dynasties.

Ming Chenghua Ding Weichun (AD 1487), eunuch Gao Gongying and others visited Xinghua Temple, and it was a pity to see the temple fall. Later, it was initiated by Gao Gongying and funded by all parties. The main hall is sunny, colorful and still old.

Wen 'an is dead, and the Stone Buddha Temple is now destroyed. In the 23rd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1606), the Zen master of Miyun, a fifth ancestor of Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, went to Wutai to visit Yandou Scenic Area, passing through Pengcheng, and saw the Stone Buddha Temple unattended and eager to repair it. So he sent Fasun Gu 'an to Pengcheng to buy a vegetable field, repair Xinghua Temple and rekindle incense lamps. After the abbots of Tianchi, Zhang Kui, Tian Yue, Shezhu, Guang Tai, Dengzhou, Shantang, Miaoyuan, Renshan and Zhou Xiao, the incense continued until the early 1960s.

1966, the Cultural Revolution began. After vicissitudes of life, the lights of Xinghua Temple have been burning for thousands of years. Scriptures were burned, utensils were robbed, and the big stone Buddha was smashed. Nearly a thousand small stone buddhas on both sides were destroyed, and the old monk in primary school was approved to die. The temple is managed and used by the garden department.

With the efforts of the old monk in Yangxi, Master Qi Long and Master Guoguang, the Dharma Body was rebuilt, instruments were added, incense was burned and lights were continued, and Xinghua Temple was revived.

1September, 998, Master Guoguang was promoted to the 13th abbot of Xinghua Temple. In order to revive his ancestral business, he proposed the overall planning, reconstruction and expansion of Xinghua Temple. In August of 20001year, Xuzhou Development Planning Commission approved the project; From June 5438 to February 2002, the foundation stone was laid for the renovation and expansion project of Xinghua Temple, and the construction of Shanmen, Tianwang Hall, Tianqiao, Jade Buddha Hall and 13th-floor tower was officially started.

Enter from the west gate and visit Xinghua Temple. There is a moon-shaped mountain gate. Inside and outside the mountain gate, there are eight characters carved in marble, namely "Xinghua Temple" and "Yunlong Ancient Temple". There is a stele gallery in the north of Xishan Gate, which was built in the late Qing Dynasty. The walls of the corridor are covered with stone tablets, totaling more than 30 squares. Among them, the stone tablet "Preface to the Holy Teaching" inscribed by Master Xuanzang of Emperor Taizong is the treasure of the tablet.

On one side of the two gables of the main hall, there is an ear on each side, which is a two-story bell and drum, both built in Xuande period of Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1420- 1435). There is a bronze bell hanging on the bell tower in the north, which was smashed during the Cultural Revolution. In the third year of Xuande in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1428), an iron bell was hung, weighing about three tons. It is one of the existing ancient cultural relics in Xinghua Temple. To the south is the Drum Tower, and the drum was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Now that new drums are installed, monks go to the temple to ring bells and drums every day, and Buddhist songs are intoxicating.

On the east side of the second floor of the Bell and Drum Tower, there is the Lohan Hall in the North and South. It was originally built by Wen 'an, a monk in Xuande period of Ming Dynasty, to worship eighteen arhats. During the Cultural Revolution, it was burned and then rebuilt. Today, the Luohan Hall in the north is dedicated to the statues of the three sages of the West. The South Lohan Hall was changed to the French Logistics Office, and now eighteen arhats are enshrined in the Ursa Major Hall.

In the first year of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1436), Monk Wen 'an built three Maitreya Buddha halls in front of the Daxiong Hall, forming a temple courtyard. According to the remains of Xinghua Temple, there are words like "On October 1st, the birthday of Emperor Kangxi, Maitreya Temple was rebuilt by the ancestors of the Three Han Dynasties". It is known that this temple has been repaired. According to the Rebuilding Monument of the Front Hall of the Great Buddha Temple, during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1862- 1874), the temple was destroyed by fire and rain, and the platform collapsed. In the seventh year of Tongzhi (AD 1869), Sun Wenli donated money to rebuild the Zhongying Hostel in Xuzhou Town. Later, after the war and turmoil, there was no Maitreya Hall.

At the northern end of Maitreya Temple, there is a shrine (namely Garan Temple). According to the inscription of Xinghua Temple, "Lotus Pavilion has been rebuilt for a long time. Since Jin Liang, the eaves have been decadent and the walls have been bleak. Many people have generously donated money to change the old into the new and create in a waste. Therefore, Xin Chou was rebuilt in Shunzhi period (A.D. 166 1) under the leadership of the monk Haiji, and now it is gone.

At the northern end of Jialan Temple, there is a pavilion of the white master. Up to now, during the Wanli period (A.D. 1573- 1620), there is no record of setting up a stone in the Pavilion of the White Grand Master in Yunlong Mountain: when Gui was in charge, it was built into three rooms.

During the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty, Yongning Library was built at the right end of Xinghua Temple, namely "Tong Yuan Baojing College". According to records, there are two buildings, north and south. Before the Cultural Revolution, when the King Temple was built, the left end was destroyed and the right end was demolished. According to "Building Yongning Library", a stone erected by Kangxi in April, it is said that all the famous temples in the past dynasties dedicated Brahma statues, all believed in the foundation of Tanfu, paid tribute to incense, and money and paper flew away. If we don't repair the treasure house, it will be unsafe to trample on it. "Obviously, the incense was very prosperous at that time. During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, monks built Yongning Library to avoid fire.

The location of the ancient Maitreya Hall and Yongning Library has now been replaced by the majestic Daxiong Hall. 1985, Yang Xi, a great monk, lived in Xixinghua Temple, and found that the big stone Buddha enshrined in the Great Buddha Hall was not Sakyamuni Buddha, but Amitabha Buddha, the founder of the western paradise, so he made a vow to rebuild the main hall and worship the icon of Sakyamuni. Construction of Daxiong Hall started in June. 1993. During the construction, it was found that statues of Buddhist figures such as Sakyamuni, Bodhisattva, Heavenly King, Lux, Tian Fei, Monks and Patriarch were carved on the cliff with a depth of 10 meter, which was very spectacular. The carved lines are smooth, the characters are plump, unique and full of artistic charm. According to the research of archaeologists, it is a work of the Tang and Song Dynasties. 1995, the stone carving was designated as a provincial-level protected cultural relic by the provincial government; Mr. Zhao Puchu, the former vice chairman of Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and the president of the Chinese Buddhist Association, wrote the eight characters "Cliff Statue in Tang and Song Dynasties" for this stone carving, which is now embedded in the forehead of the Cliff Statue Protection Room.

During the Tang and Song Dynasties, a stone tablet stood on the north side of the Cliff Stone Gate, which read "There is no Amitabha in the South" in six big characters. It was in Shen Bing during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1596). In summer, believers burned incense and worshipped books, and on the auspicious day of Buddha's birthday, the stone was erected on the eighth day of April. Eight meters before the Cliff Stone Statue in Tang and Song Dynasties is the former site of Tianwang Temple. There are stone steps in the south and stone steps below, and the word "sharp rivers and mountains" is vigorous and powerful, which was written by Zhou Tao, a Taoist priest in Guangxi (in August of the lunar calendar). Describe the picturesque scenery of Yunlong Mountain, that is, climbing here will feel that "the Yellow River is like a belt and Mount Tai is like a stone". Now standing here overlooking, the overpass, Tianwang Temple and Shanmen of Xinghua Temple are all under construction.

Xinghua Temple also has a south courtyard. The South Yard is a place where the abbot and monks meditate. There are still 42 rooms in the hospital, which are divided into scriptures building, ancestral hall, dharma hall, abbot room, half soup, teahouse, zhaitang, warehouse and monk's house.

Zen Temple was built in Xuande period of Ming Dynasty. It was led by monk Wen 'an with the help of believers. It is exquisitely designed, elegant and unique, and has been repaired by monks in past dynasties. So far, it has maintained a rich style. The cloisters of Buddhist temples are winding and far-reaching. The words "Luyuan", "Guangming", "Langzhao" and "Jiu Feng" are embedded in the doorway of the corridor, which is rich and free, giving people an elegant and comfortable feeling.

There is a red lacquer column in front of the Buddhist temple, and there is a famous couplet on the column, which reads, "Sit and break the futon, pass through the Buddhist temple, print the moon on the pond, and fly in the air to clear the sea and give birth to lotus." Couplets depict a wonderful place where monks practice devoutly and gain wisdom.

On the west side of the Buddhist temple, there is a small scene of "there is a hole in the sky". It consists of bamboo forests, caves, huts, gardens and pools. It is a place where monks take a walk after meditation. On the stone wall at the northern end of the "Bamboo Forest", there are four words "Cave in Heaven" written by Peng Cheng (A.D. 1753) and Yang Sizhi. Another famous calligrapher in China, Li Yimang Yugengshen (A.D. 1980), wrote "Heaven Cave", which was embedded in a bamboo gallery. On the East Cliff of "Dong Tian", Yang Sizhi, a man of A Qing Dynasty, is still dreaming of autumn in Qinggan Guilong. He wrote a poem for the truth: "Higashitahara is an old student, and here is a true fairy. Where can I find a Zen machine? Flowers and birds have infinite meaning. " This also shows the unique charm of the small scene in the cave.

In front of the bamboo forest, there is a "paradise cave". During the Cultural Revolution, Wang Zeng, secretary of the Xuzhou Municipal Party Committee, took refuge here and is now the seat of the Xuzhou Buddhist Association.
