There is probably no friendship between the two big beauties, both of whom are the best beauties.⊥ What's more, Yan Chenyu and Koala are rivals in love, they are the true rivals. Yan Chenyu was the one who first met this area, but when she stood with An Qingju, Koala joined in halfway, not Yan Chenyu liked it very much.

A Taishan stone with the word "Buddha" is enshrined in the Hongfo Pavilion. The word "Buddha" is written by Lefeng Jing. On the back of the Taishan stone tablet, there are four large characters "Amitabha Buddha" last ink written by Mr. Chen Congzhou. There is a relief picture of Sakyamuni Hongfo on the top of the pavilion.

Jianzhen Buddhist College is located behind Jianzhen Memorial Hall. The overall design adopts the imitation Tang style. The campus is covered with green trees, fragrant grass, surrounded by clear water, classical buildings are arranged in a scattered manner, bells and Sanskrit, and is integrated with the thousand-year-old temple Daming Temple.

Where there is a temple, there must be a pagoda. People often say: "Save a life, it is better to build a seven-level pagoda." The pagoda is the nickname of pagoda in Indian Sanskrit.

According to legend, when Emperor Wen of Sui had not ascended the throne, he met an Indian monk. Emperor Wen had a very close relationship with him. The monk gave him a small bag of Buddha relics. He told him: "This is the soul of the great enlightenment, so I will leave you to offer it to him." The emperor promised that after Emperor Wen ascended the throne, he poured out the relics with Master Tanqian. The sutra counted repeatedly, and sometimes there were too many and sometimes there were no ones to measure. It was amazing. Tanqian said slowly: "The Dharma bodies of all Buddhas are too numerous and cannot be measured by the world." So Emperor Wen hid it with the seven treasure bottles. When the world was first settled, Yuer thought about what the Brahma monk said, so he distributed the relics to various states and ordered them to be built for offering them. The relics of the Qiling Pagoda of Daming Temple were one of them.

The Qiling Tower was first built in the first year of Renshou (601) of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty. The tower is nine floors high and occupies Shugang. The Buddha bones are worshipped in the tower, which is called the Buddha. It was originally the words of the monk Dajue's legacy, so it is called the "Qiling Tower".

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, Yangzhou's political and economic development was rapid, and it had become the commercial center in the Jiangnan region and the third largest metropolis in the country. Its prosperity was second only to Chang'an and Luoyang. Every day, merchants gathered and tourists were everywhere. All literati and poets of all dynasties liked to visit.

Famous poets of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai, Gao Shi, Liu Changqing, Liu Yuxi, Bai Juyi, etc., all climbed to the Qiling Pagoda to write poems and praises. After Li Bai climbed this pagoda, he praised in the poem "Climbing the Xiling Temple in Yangzhou in Autumn": The pagoda is soaring, climbing and exploring the four wildernesses, with high peaks and energy, marking the sea and clouds long. All things are divided into the air, and the three days are connected to the painted beam. Water shakes the shadow of the gold wall, and the sun shakes the pearl light of fire.

The poet Bai Juyi and Liu Yuxi also described the tower after climbing the Qiling Tower. Bai Juyi wrote a poem saying: "Half a moon is in Guangling, and no tower is climbing. I feel sorry for the muscles and strength, and I can reach the ninth floor of Qiling."

Liu Yuxi wrote in his poem: "It is difficult to carry each other step by step. He leaned against the railings outside the nine layers of clouds. Suddenly, he laughed and said for a long time in the sky, and countless tourists looked up."

Unfortunately, during the campaign to destroy Buddhism in the third year of Huichang in Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty (843), a generation of victories turned into scorched earth. Since then, tourists who have come here for a long time have sighed and lost.

It was rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, but the pagoda was reduced to seven floors and was destroyed shortly afterwards. When Song Shu was appointed as the prefect of Yangzhou during the Baoyuan period (1038-1040 AD), he had a poem "Climbing the Daming Temple Pagoda", which wrote that he climbed the temple pagoda with his sick feet, which proved that the Qiling Pagoda existed in the Northern Song Dynasty.

The statue of Master Jianzhen returned to Yangzhou to visit relatives. People from all walks of life advocated the reconstruction of Qiling Pagoda and encouraged the great work. 1 The abbot of Daming Temple Master Ruixiang selected a site to rebuild Qiling Pagoda in the east garden of the temple and established the foundation stone. The ceremony was grand. After Master Ruixiang passed away, Master Nengxi presided over the reconstruction of Qiling Pagoda, leading monks to save money, raise funds, and work devoutly.

The Qiling Tower was started to drill, and the piles were officially started on December 7. There were 36 piles and 9 anchor piles. Each pile diameter was 0.9 meters and the pile depth was 25 meters. Soon the Qiling Tower was presented in the world with an unprecedented new look.

Master Nengxiu wanted to restore the magnificence of the Qiling Tower with his first-class style. He specially asked Yangzhou Architectural Design Institute to carefully design the tower. The tower body is square, with a plane of 22 meters x 22 meters, and a base area of ​​484 square meters. The ninth-level pagoda is placed on the 2.50-meter-high base platform. The underground palace is 4.00 meters under the tower. The main structure is reinforced concrete, wooden pavilion-like, and the total construction area is 1,865 square meters.

The style of Qiling Tower is imitated with Tang Dynasty. Each side is four columns and three rooms, one door and two windows, a flat seat waist eaves, the flat seat and the eaves are supported by brackets, and the eaves are large and flat. The columns are waist drum-shaped and window-shaped.

The tower height varies. The first floor is 8.20 meters, the second floor is 6.30 meters, the third floor is 6.20 meters, the fourth floor is 6.15 meters, the fifth floor is 6.10 meters, the sixth floor is 6.05 meters, the seventh floor is 6.00 meters, the eighth floor is 5.95 meters, the ninth floor is 8.50 meters, the tower spire is 10.55 meters, and the total height is 70.00 meters.

The tower is designed with majestic momentum. After it is completed, it is located in Shugang and the Yangzhou landscape is full of views. The total cost of Qiling Tower is about 10 million yuan. Daming Temple has started to recruit alms to rebuild Qiling Tower. It is respectful to the monks and lay people at home and abroad. The guardians are good at planting blessing fields and joining together to achieve victory. Then the merits will be immeasurable! Daming Temple will set up stones in the Qiling Tower corridor to leave their names.

The total cost of Qiling Tower is more than 10 million yuan, with a total construction area of ​​1,865 square meters and a total height of 70 meters. After completion, the Qiling Tower is majestic and occupies Shugang, becoming a landmark landscape of Daming Temple. Looking at the tower, all the landscapes in Yangzhou are completely visible.

Rumor: On a certain day of the third month of Huichang, Tang Dynasty, an envoy was ordered to go to Goryeo. He met a monk on the Goryeo post road, holding a tower in his hand, and walking as fast as flying. The envoy saw that the tower looked familiar, so he rushed over and asked it. The monk said, "This is the Qiling Tower in Yangzhou." The envoy asked why.

The monk said, "This pagoda is difficult now, so I moved Goryeo to avoid it." The envoy was surprised when he heard this. He went back and asked him. Everyone said: When the pagoda was destroyed, he saw the pagoda flying in the air in the firelight, and he didn't know where to go. He said that the pagoda was flying as he saw it as he saw it. He said that it was the same as he saw it. Later, he heard that there was an ancient pagoda in the south of Goryeo, which was very strange.

I heard again: On a certain day of the third year of Huichang, a merchant from Yangzhou took a nap on his way to Mingzhou. He dreamed of the Lingqi Tower and flew to Mingzhou from the sky. He also saw a familiar monk in the original temple, as if he was at the window of the third floor of the tower. The guest asked him loudly. The monk replied: "The tower is going to be in trouble, so please avoid it for the time being!"

When Yuer woke up from his dream, he still remembered it. The guest returned to Yangzhou and saw that the tower had been destroyed. The monks inquired about the temple said: The tower was destroyed for a while, and it was like a guest talking to a monk in a dream!

Yangzhou was a metropolis in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. It was a place where the Yangtze River and the canal transport benefits were raised, and it was a distribution center for north and south materials. Merchants and vendors gathered together. Visitors were shoulder to shoulder. Restaurants were everywhere, and teahouses were everywhere. The rich were eating, drinking, and having fun, and the gamers were visiting prostitutes and gambling.

Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it has been said: "I have a hundred thousand bulls of money and ride a crane to Yangzhou." Those noble and noble families, wealthy businessmen, heroes, literati and scholars, poets, and poets, left behind many magic treasures and traces after being drunk and full of food. Therefore, there are many cultural landscapes.

The pagoda of the spirit is also a national treasure. It contains Buddha bones and treasures, and there are many supernatural legends. It climbs high and opens its eyes. The beauty of Yangzhou can be seen and fascinates. The heroes and heroes of all generations all enjoy the climb to the place where they sing. To legends and legends, it adds a hazy and mysterious imagination, which is so beautiful!

There is a bell tower in the east and a drum tower in the west. The couplets of the bell tower: smoke seals surround the Zen forest. The bright moon is bright and the heart is relaxed and the eyes are bright. The bell wakes up from the morning bell to dream, and the clear spring washes the common people and washes the mortal world. The couplets of the drum tower: The scenic spots of the Tang Dynasty are vividly understood. The Venerable comes to spread Buddhism. The place of nature is clear and seeks truth. All living beings rely on the spirit to understand Zen.

Behind the Qiling Pagoda is the Reclining Buddha Hall, which connects directly to the northern steps of the Qiling Pagoda. The Reclining Buddha Hall is built on a high base with tilted corners and eaves, and is majestic. A golden plaque "Reclining Buddha Hall" is hung in the middle of the eaves, which is written by Zhao Puchu, president of the Chinese Buddhist Association.

The four words "Silence is joy" are embedded on the front of the roof of the reclining Buddha Hall, and the four words "World Peace" are embedded on the back. The outside of the hall is granite ground, and the inside of the hall is a square brick floor. The middle position is located in the back of the hall, with a stone couch, and a Jade Buddha of Sakyamuni lies on the top. The jade Buddha is 5.8 meters long and weighs 18 tons.

There is a couplet on the collection of the Diamond Sutra on both sides of the main hall: You should know that this is a place of respectful offering, and you cannot talk about its merits hundreds or thousands; if someone receives and recites it, it is no longer a good source of the three, four or five Buddhas.

There is a coupon door on the left and right sides of the Daming Temple. The east coupon door is the "Wen Ao District" and the west coupon door is the "Immortal Old Hall".

The gate of the Immortal Old Pavilion was written by Master Sun Xingwu of Ouyang. It consists of three parts: Pingshan Hall, Gulin Hall, and Ouyang Wenzhonggong Temple, which are arranged in sequence from south to north. It was first built in the eighth year of the Qingli period of the Song Dynasty (1048), and Ouyang Xiu was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou.

Yan Chenyu and Koala came out of the Jianzhen Memorial Hall and walked west through the octagonal door hole in the courtyard wall, and came to the ancient "Pingshan Hall". This hall was built when Ouyang Xiu was appointed as the prefect of Yangzhou in the eighth year of Qingli of the Northern Song Dynasty (1048).

The flowers and trees in front of the hall are lush, and the courtyard is quiet. Looking at the mountains in the south of the Yangtze River from a railing, it is just flat to the sight. "The distant mountains come to this hall", so it is called "Pingshan Hall".

Pingshan Hall is built to the south, with five pillars, seven beams, hard mountain roofs, and a roll shed in the southwest. There is a short corridor in the north to connect with Gulin Hall. The plaque "The distant mountain comes to the flat with this hall" is hung under the northern eaves of the hall, pointing out the reason for "Pingshan Hall". It was written by Zhaoyuan, Qiulin, Bingzi, Guangxu, Qing Dynasty (1876), with a brown background and white characters.

A three-character plaque with three characters "Pingshan Tang" hanging above the pillar in the hall, with a black bottom and a white character. It was written by Junyi, Dingyuan, in Dingyuan, on the moon of the Tongzhi Renshen (1872) in the Qing Dynasty.

The couplets hung on both sides said: The green mountains are in the middle of the morning and the green mountains are in sight for six generations. When you come to the evening, you will see the bright moon at the right time. Written by Zhu Gongchun, a book written by Wei Tianchi in the spring of Gengshen. You can see the Gulin Hall through the glass square window in the middle. There are several ornamental stones on the table table on the hall, which is quite elegant.

Two plaques hung on the left and right beams on both sides of the couplet, one is "Sitting on the Flowers and Carrying the Moon" and the other is "Feng Liu Wan". Both plaques are anecdotes of Ou Gong. There are empty carved floor-to-ceiling covers under the plaque. The plaque is written by Liu Kun, the governor of Liangjiang in the early summer of Guangxu, and there is a postscript. The postscript is both black bottom and golden.

The plaque of the sitting flower and the moon was written by Ma Fuxiang, Longyou in the fourth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and there is a postscript. The plaques and postscripts are all black bottoms and white characters.

There is a rhyme here: One day, Ouyang Xiu ordered people to prepare more than a thousand lotus flowers, insert them into a pot, and then play a drinking game: draw a lotus from the pot and pass it on to the guests, and the recipient picks off its petals in turn.

When the petals are gone, the guests are drinking. This type of game often lasts until late at night, and the prefect often returns over the stars and the moon. Therefore, later generations often recall the past with words such as "The Romance is Always" and "Sitting on the Flowers and Carrying the Moon", and the well-written plaques are hung in the hall.

There is also a plaque "Let's Bring Your Eyes" written by Peng Yuqun of the Qing Dynasty hanging on the outside of Pingshan Hall, and two couplets are hung below it. One is: Cross the river and the mountains to come to this hall; the banquet at the prefect was happy with the guests. It is an old couplet for Mr. Yi Moqing, and the book is a heavy book by Yuan Weihua in Guizhou on the autumn day of Wuyin, Guangxu.

The second is: the scenery of the mountains and lakes is reflected in a glance; Ou Gongpo is old and has been around for thousands of years. He was originally written by Wang Guozhen, son of Yangzhou salt merchant Wang Lumen, and a strange book in Wuzhong. The two couplets not only point out the geographical characteristics of Pingshantang, but also a vivid portrayal of Ouyang Xiu's leisurely fortune back then.

In the eighth year of Qingli in the Northern Song Dynasty (1048), Ouyang Xiu came to Yangzhou to build this hall. Because the hall was built on the Shugang, it was high above the hills. It was sunny and sunny, and you could look at the mountains on the south bank of the Yangtze River. Sitting on the hall felt like "the distant mountains come here and the hall was flat", hence the name "Pingshan Hall".

Standing in front of Pingshan Hall, the perspective is extremely open and refreshing. There is a horizontal plaque written by Lin Zhaoyuan, a Qing Dynasty man, who wrote "The distant mountain comes to this hall" further highlights the meaning of the hall. In fact, "Pingshan Hall" is the place where frustrated literati discuss the government affairs and complain.

You can see a brief look from Ouyang Xiu's poem "Chaozhongcuo? Pingshantang": Pingshanshanshan Road is leaning against the clear sky, and the scenery is in the mountains. Plant the willows in front of the hall, how many times the spring breeze is not there? The prefect of the article, write ten thousand words, drink a thousand cups of wine. You must be young and look at the old man in front of the bottle.

Ouyang Xiu (1007-1072) was named Yongshu and named Zuiweng. In his later years, he called himself Liuyi Jushi and was posthumously Wenzhong. Ouyang Xiu was not only a colleague of Fan Zhongyan's new policy in Qingli, but also a leader of the Northern Song Dynasty's poetry and literary innovation movement. In his middle age, he also presided over an imperial examination. Su Shi, Su Zhe, Zeng Gong, Wang Anshi, and Zhang Zai, a famous philosopher of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Cheng Yi all came to his subordinates, and he had a keen eye to recognize talents.

Ouyang Xiu's poems, lyrics and prose are the best in his generation. The prose is fluent in reasoning and tactful in lyrics; the style of poetry is focused on momentum and smooth and natural; the meaning of the lyrics is profound and graceful, inheriting the remnants of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Ouyang Xiu once compiled the "New Book of Tang" with Song Qi and wrote "New History of the Five Dynasties". He also liked to collect metal and stone characters and compiled "Collection of Ancient Records". There are "Ouyang Wenzhong's Collection of Documents" and other works that have been passed down from generation to generation. The famous "Gu Wenguanzhi" in the Qing Dynasty included 13 of his prose.
