Four words to describe the Big Wild Goose Pagoda

1. Write a 400-word guide for the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Tourist: When you visit Xi 'an, you must want to see the Big Wild Goose Pagoda II, an ancient tower in Tang Dynasty, which is a unique symbol of Xi 'an ancient city. The ancients once left a poem "It is clear that the mountain shines at night and the morning bell of the Wild Goose Pagoda is in the south of the city".

As one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong, the Wild Goose Pagoda stands tall in Ji 'an, about 4 kilometers south of Xi 'an, and is one of the famous pagodas in China. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda used to be called Jean Temple.

Jionji was originally named Wuliu Temple. In the 22nd year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 648), when Emperor Li Zhi was a prince, he ordered a temple to be built in Jinchangfang, Chang 'an, to commemorate the kindness of his late mother and grandson. North of Daming Palace Hanyuan Temple, covering an area of 26,570 square meters, with beautiful surrounding scenery. It is the most magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang 'an, Tang Dou.

Next, please come with me to visit Jionji and Wild Goose Pagoda. Dear visitors, Jionji is a temple built under the patronage of the royal family. Its status is prominent and its scale is grand, which is incomparable to other temples.

This temple consists of 13 courtyards, covering an area of 340 mu, which is seven times the area of the present temple. Its architecture is magnificent and ornate.

Jionji covers an area of 32,365,438+04 square meters, about 48.5 mu. Let's take a look at this pair of mighty stone lions in front of the temple.

Strangely, what is introduced into China from other places is always introduced in kind first, and then works of art are created according to the kind. The lion settled in China, but it was an exception. The lion stone carving art was handed down first, and then the real lion appeared.

As we all know, lions were introduced into China from Persia in the Eastern Han Dynasty, while stone lions were introduced into China from India at the same time as Buddhism in the Han Dynasty. Lions have the function of protecting against evil spirits. Buddhism believes that "Buddha is a lion among people", so the lion is often engraved in front of the Buddha's desk, which is called the lion that protects the law.

At the gate of Jionji, there are four stone lions standing symmetrically left and right, and the two near the gate inside are unclear when and where they were carved. In the east is a lion, teasing the hydrangea under his feet.

In the west is a lioness, and there are a pair of cubs at her feet, called mother and son lions. It seems that these lions are also arranged in the order of male left and female right according to human habits.

Two lions near the outside, one in the east was carved in the 50th year of Qing Qianlong (AD 1785), and the other in the west was carved in the Republic of China (AD 1930). The height of these two pairs of stone lions exceeds 1.7 meters, and each statue is at least 250 kilograms.

Strangely, these two majestic and solid stone behemoths will make a metallic sound similar to copper instead of steel even if they are patted gently by hand, which is crisp and pleasant. Ladies and gentlemen, can you guess why? Entering the temple are two small buildings, and the east is the bell tower, in which is hung an iron clock cast in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, weighing 15 tons.

To the west is the Drum Tower, with a big drum inside. For a long time, "Yanta Morning Bell" has been widely circulated as one of the eight scenic spots in Guanzhong.

But in the past, people thought that "the morning bell of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda" refers to the bell of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda in Xi 'an. This scene actually refers to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, because the clock of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda weighed 30,000 Jin and was cast in October of the 27th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1548). In the Ji 'en Temple, the clock of the Little Wild Goose Pagoda moved into the temple 100 years earlier. As we all know, there is a hall of great heroes in general temples, and so is Jionji.

Its hall of great heroes is located on a high platform in the center of the temple. It was built in the second year of Shunshun tomorrow (A.D. 1458) to the second year of Chenghua (A.D. 1466) and overhauled in the thirteenth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1887). The three statues above the main hall are those of Ying Shi Muny.

The one in the middle is called dharma statue, the one in the west is called newspaper statue, and the one in the east is called body statue. Yingshi Muny, the ancestor of Buddhism, was originally the prince who greeted Piluweiguo in ancient India. He was born in 565 BC and died in 486 BC, the same age as Confucius.

On the east side of the Three-body Buddha stands Ye Ying, one of the top ten disciples of Sakyamuni. In the west stands his cousin Ananda, who has been with Sakyamuni for 25 years and is one of the top ten disciples. On both sides are eighteen arhats and Xuanzang statues.

Behind the Great Hall is the Tibetan Scripture Building, where important classics are stored, such as the Tibetan Tripitaka. Downstairs is the lecture hall, where Buddhists give lectures and offer a bronze statue of Amitabha, with a height of 1 mido.

There is a Buddha statue dedicated by Xuanzang himself in the temple, as well as statues of the four kings of Qing Shixiang in the Tang Dynasty. This stone is bluestone produced in lantian jade Mountain, crisp and loud.

Ladies and gentlemen, when we walk out of the Buddhist scripture building, we can see the magnificent Wild Goose Pagoda. You must be both sighing and curious when you see this Tang Dynasty building, right? The first question is, why should this tower be named after the wild goose? According to the legend of Indian Buddhism, there are two schools of Buddhism, Mahayana and Hinayana, and Hinayana Buddhism is not taboo.

One day, it was Bodhisattva giving day, but a monk in Hinayana Temple could not buy meat to eat. At this time, a flock of geese flew in the sky. A monk looked at the geese and said to himself, "There is no meat to eat today. The merciful Bodhisattva will never forget what day it is."

After saying his word, the leading goose folded its wings and fell to the ground. So all the monks in the temple were shocked and thought it must be a bodhisattva.

They built a stone pagoda where the geese landed, and announced that they would give up cruelty to animals and convert to Mahayana Buddhism. Therefore, the stupa is also called the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

When we arrive at the Wild Goose Pagoda, people will naturally think of Xuanzang, a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty, who was the first abbot of Jionji. According to legend, in the third year of Tang Yonghui (AD 652), Master Xuanzang, a famous monk, wrote a letter to Emperor Gaozong to organize the scriptures, Buddha statues and relics he brought back from the Western Regions, and built the Wild Goose Pagoda in the West Courtyard of Jionji.

Construction started in March of that year, and Xuanzang personally supervised the construction and completed it in one year. Readers, you must have seen The Journey to the West, one of China's four classical novels, and the TV series of the same name based on it. So is the Tang Priest in The Journey to the West the famous monk Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty? Master Xuanzang, common name Chen, became a monk in Luoyang at the age of 13. He is diligent and studious. After visiting teachers from all over China, he decided to explore the essence of Buddhism in India, the birthplace of Buddhism.

Xuanzang set out from Chang 'an in the third year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (AD 629), along the Silk Road, crossed the Gobi Desert where there were no birds in the sky and no animals in the underground, and went west to Tianzhu. In the 19th year of Zhenguan (AD 645), he returned to Chang 'an, which lasted 17 years and traveled 50,000 kilometers, and was taken back by more than 100 countries and regions. After returning to China, with the support of the Tang royal family, learned monks from all over the country gathered, forming an unprecedented translation field for Buddhist scriptures, which he translated himself.

2. Poems describing the Big Wild Goose Pagoda existed as early as the early days of the temple tower construction. At that time, as a prince, Li Zhi personally led hundreds of officials to write poems. When he became emperor, he personally paid tribute to the poem of Jean Temple: "The Sun Palace opens in Wan Ren, and the Moon Palace is full of searching. Flowers cover the shadows, and the shadows drag on ... "When Tang Zhongzong was in China, he set up a literary museum to recruit talents and often accompanied him to dinner. Among them, on September 9th every year, on the Double Ninth Festival, the emperor would go to the Ji 'en Temple to look up and write a poem. The bachelors sang in unison and were edited into 40 volumes of poems, which were widely read, and the Yanta Poetry Club became a common practice for a while. In the autumn of the 11th year of Tianbao (752), Du Fu, Cen Can, Gao Shi, Xue Zhi and Chu Guangxi boarded the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, overlooking the scenery, and each of them presented a five-character poem, which was passed down through the ages. Today, these poems are hung on the sixth floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

"Memorial to the Great Sage"-"The Sun Palace opens in Wan Ren, and the Moon Palace is full of spirits. Huagai Fei Ying, with red flags and shadows. Qixia is far from the cage, and the beads are thin. It is big, smoky and independent. " (Li Zhi, Emperor Tang Gaozong)

"On September 9th, Ji 'ang was lucky to climb the pagoda twice and offer chrysanthemum wine"-"On the Chung Yeung Festival in the Imperial Palace, Xiangyuan came by all means. Cure evil dogwood, offer longevity chrysanthemum and pass a cup. The tower is filled with heaven, but the door is suspicious of Buddha. Ruici hangs the sun and the moon and grows back. " (Shangguan Waner)

"Feng Hejiu boarded Ji 'ang to record the fauna"-"Phoenix flies, parrot forest faces late autumn. Astronomical laurel leaves write, holy chrysanthemums float. The tower looks like a miracle, but the niche suspects the Buddha's shadow. Fortunately, with me accompanying the Han Qing Dynasty, I am happy to enjoy a clean home visit. " (Shi Li, Zi Zi Zhi)

Tite Jionji Pagoda-"Ten floors stand in the void, and forty doors open in the wind. But strange birds fly to the ground, because this amazing language has a long history. Back to the ladder, stepping in the dark is like piercing a hole, and climbing on it is like coming out of a cage. The sunset in Fengcheng is harmonious, and the spring trees in the city are rainy "(Zhang Ba Yuan, a scholar in Dali, Tang Daizong for six years).

"Poem for Xuanzang"-Xuanzang's translation has been passed down for thousands of years, and Ci 'en Ancient Temple has heard of Kyushu. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda stands high on the earth, and Qujiang Bitou drinks "(Northern Song scholar Lu Dafang).

"Climb the Great Wild Goose Pagoda of Jean Temple to welcome Bianjing"-"Charming in all directions, Nanshan Qinling Mountain is actually late autumn. The purple stars will be hidden at the top, and the flowers in Huang Ju will not be explained. Overlapping Yantai Miji Street, layers of wild goose pagodas are quiet. The capital of song dynasty has the ambition to prosper the country, but it is rare to love the east building "(Cai que, a scholar in the northern song dynasty)

Climbing the Ci 'en Temple Pagoda in Autumn Night-"The river flows west in autumn night, and climbing the pagoda is endless. Who plays the flute and complains about the willow, the anvil is noisy. Too liquid and frivolous dragons fill the moon, and wild goose gate frost in Qujiang cold area. I am worried about how much I know after I come, and I always feel heartache when I miss my wife. " (Qin Dingyuan, Qing Dynasty)

"Ji Angji on the Wild Goose Pagoda"-"I remember being famous from the first place, but reading and robbery are slim. Wei Quhua is worried about the rain, and Nanshan is easy to set the sun. Gao, Zhang, Cen, Du Shihan, Tianbao Kaiyuan 7A686964616fe59e7ad94313337623439. Don't laugh at many sages and fame, and a glass of water in front of the tower has been vicissitudes.

6.Xi Wild Goose Pagoda, also known as the Great Ci 'en Temple Pagoda, is located in Jionji, the southern suburb of Xi, Shaanxi Province, China.

Because it is located in the west courtyard of Jean Temple, the Wild Goose Pagoda was originally called the West Courtyard Pagoda of Jean Temple. It is a masterpiece of Buddhist architecture in China in the Tang Dynasty.

The Big Wild Goose Pagoda, also known as the Great Ci 'en Temple Pagoda, was built in 652 AD (the third year of Yonghui in Tang Gaozong). Master Xuanzang built a five-story brick tower in the West Tower of Jionji, dedicated to the Buddha statues, Buddhist relics and Sanskrit classics brought back from India.

There is an arched ticket gate on both sides of each floor, which can be overlooked through the railing. The whole building is magnificent, simple and steady in shape, moderate in proportion, solemn and simple in style, and it is a well-preserved pavilion tower.

This tower is equipped with stairs for people to climb and overlook the ancient city Xi 'an. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a landmark and famous historic site of Xi, and also a symbol of the ancient city of Xi.

This famous ancient pagoda is painted in the center of the emblem of Xi. [Edit this paragraph] The Ji 'en Temple, where the Wild Goose Pagoda is located, is the place where Xuanzang, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, specially translated and collected scriptures.

Master Xuanzang retrieved Buddhist scriptures from Tianzhu and once presided over the temple affairs in Ji 'en Temple. He planned to build a stone tower outside the main entrance of Ji 'an Temple in March of the third year of Tang Yonghui (AD 652) on the grounds of "fearing that the people would not be diligent, the scriptures would be lost, and fire prevention would be difficult", and played it on the attached drawings. Because Xuanzang's floating pictures are always 30 feet high, Tang Gaozong approved the court to build a five-story brick tower in the west courtyard of the temple on the grounds that the project was huge and difficult to realize, and he didn't want the mage to work hard.

This pagoda is called Big Wild Goose Pagoda, because a smaller one was built in Jianfu Temple in Chang 'an. Jionji Pagoda is called Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and Jianfu Temple Pagoda is called Little Wild Goose Pagoda, which has been passed down to this day. The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is modeled after the Western Regions, with brick surface and soil core, which is unattainable, and there are relics on each floor.

Master Xuanzang personally presided over the construction of this tower, which took two years to complete. After more than 50 years, the tower gradually collapsed due to the change of topsoil core and wind and rain erosion.

During the reign of Wu Zetian in Chang 'an (70 1-704), Empress Wu Zetian and nobles rebuilt it on the original site and built a seven-story blue brick tower (on the other hand, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was rebuilt in 704, and the tower was as high as 10 floor. In 93 1 year, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was rebuilt in the Five Dynasties and the later Tang Dynasty, and it was reduced to seven floors.

After the end of the Tang Dynasty, Jionji was repeatedly attacked by soldiers, and the temple was burned down, leaving only the Big Wild Goose Pagoda alone. In 93 1 year (the second year of Changxing in the Tang Dynasty after the Five Dynasties), the Big Wild Goose Pagoda was restored again.

Later, several major earthquakes occurred in Xi 'an, and the top of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda fell and the tower was broken. In A.D. 1604 (23rd year of Wanli reign of Ming Dynasty), the basic shape of the Tang Dynasty Tower was maintained, and a 60 cm thick coating was built outside it, making its shape wider than before, which is the shape of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda seen today.

After the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC), the Wild Goose Pagoda was announced by the State Council as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units in 196 1. After a renovation by 1964, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda basically maintained its original features.

[Edit this paragraph] Building structure The Big Wild Goose Pagoda Tower Base and Tower Body The Big Wild Goose Pagoda is a square pavilion-style brick tower, which is made up of tower base, tower body and tower brake. The current height is 64.5 17 meters. The tower foundation is 4.2 meters high, 48.7 meters from north to south and 45.7 meters from east to west; The tower is a square cone with a square plane, with a base length of 25.5 meters, a tower height of 59.9 meters and a tower gate height of 4.87 meters.

All floors of the tower are made of blue bricks to imitate wood-like structures such as eaves columns, bucket arches, railings, sandalwood, eaves rafters and flying rafters. The structure is neat, and the brick joints on the ground are firm and abnormal. The wall of each floor of the tower is composed of brick flat columns and diaphragm, with a big bucket on the upper part of the column and a brick arch hole in the middle of each floor.

The plane inside the tower is also square, and each floor has floors. An escalator is installed to spiral up to the top of the tower. The square columns on the first and second floors are divided into nine bays, seven bays on the third and fourth floors, and five bays on the fifth and sixth floors.

There are relics, Buddha's foot stone carvings and Tang priest's footprint stone carvings on the tower. The bottom of the tower is surrounded by stone gates, and there are exquisite line carved Buddha statues on the mast. Ximenmei is a picture of Amitabha, engraved with magnificent halls.

The layout of the picture is rigorous, and the lines are vigorous and smooth, which was handed down by the painter Yan in the Tang Dynasty. Two stone tablets written by Chu Suiliang, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, are embedded on both sides of the South Gate Cave on the ground floor. The Preface to Tang Sanzang written by Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong and the Preface to Tang Sanzang written by Tang Gaozong have high artistic value and are called "Two Saints and Three Wonders Monuments".

Wild Goose Pagoda Underground Palace In May 2008, Wang Yarong, director of the Institute of Religion of Shaanxi Academy of Social Sciences, said that like the underground palace under the Famen Temple Pagoda in Shaanxi, there may be a Millennium underground palace under the Wild Goose Pagoda in xi. It is speculated that the treasures Xuanzang brought back from India may be hidden in the underground palace under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

According to historical records, in the 19th year of Tang Zhenguan, Xuanzang returned from India, bringing back a large number of Buddhist relics, hundreds of Sanskrit scriptures of Beye and eight gold and silver Buddha statues. With the approval of the imperial court, Xuanzang personally presided over the construction of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda in order to worship and treasure the Buddhist scriptures, gold and silver Buddha statues, relics and other treasures brought back.

But until now, no one knows where the treasure Xuanzang brought back is. Wang Yarong thought there was a dungeon under the ancient pagoda. Just as there is a dungeon under the Famen Temple pagoda, there must be a dungeon under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, but it has not been excavated yet.

It is speculated that the underground palace under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is likely to contain Buddhist treasures that Xuanzang brought back at the beginning.
