I chose to Ruicheng school top internship, which is a big factor is to see Ruicheng attractions more. Close to the water tower first get the moon well, so I can be in the double holiday or vacation to the place of some of the attractions to go, take a look at, stroll around, the beautiful name is to pay a visit to the famous places, visit the ancient investigation. I plan the first stop is to go to the five dragon temple inspection.
1. Twists and turns of the visit
Last Saturday, the autumn rain continued, the sky was cloudy. Although the weather was not favorable, but still did not affect my action to go to the five dragon temple sightseeing visit. Five Dragons Temple is located four kilometers north of the county town in the ancient Wei City city wall site, Longquan village north of the high mound above. Because of the change of stars, the ancient Wei City of that year has been annihilated by the river of years, leaving only a piece of rubble and legends, proving its former glory.
Although the five dragon temple indomitable stand, but also by the vicissitudes of the years and the wind and rain erosion of the old, gray face, there is no other prestigious temples of the incense constantly, the believers one after another the red-hot scene, just so quietly hidden in the mountains and villages, standing in the wilderness of the wild countryside.
Autumn rain is lingering, not stopping to clear the meaning of the taxi driver to send me to the temple. The cab driver sent me to the temple in front of the slope, said the rain muddy dirt road, the car can not climb uphill, you walk up it. I stood on tiptoe, carefully choose the road to go up, afraid of the mud on the ground dirty pants legs, more afraid of steep slopes, slippery, accidentally will fall.
Finally walked to the top of the slope in front of the temple, only to see the simple temple door closed, surrounded by not high on the walls of the courtyard also has a barbed wire. The old wooden door is locked with a big lock, I peeped from the doorway, the ancient temple in the fall rain is deserted, let a person have a mysterious sense of silence. Li Bai has "ancient sages are lonely" of the poem, I went out of my way, braved the wind and rain to come here, just want to glance at the ancient temple style, but now it will turn me away, is it do not want me to disturb the quiet of it?
I was wandering at the time, see the hillside below a middle-aged woman holding a child looking at the door, I rushed to the bottom of the slope, to ask her about the key to the temple door of the five dragons. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to find the key to the temple, but I'm sure you're going to be able to find the key to the temple, and I'm sure you're going to be able to find the key to the temple. I quickly waved my hand and said, investigation dare not be, just play. She laughed in disbelief and said, "What's so beautiful about this temple? Lured you one by one to come to investigate ah, sightseeing ah! She said, she gave me a finger to say, the old Zhang, the caretaker of the temple, lives in the back of the third alley, the second family.
I thanked her and walked quickly to the back alley. I was so happy that I forgot which alley the woman was talking about. It has hostile eyes, so I shudder - because I was bitten by a dog when I was a child, really afraid of it to a "dog jumping over the wall".
As I was walking away, two villagers were talking and laughing. I asked them where Mr. Zhang lived, and one of them said he was in an alleyway further back. One said an alley further back, and the other added that the second house in that alley was the old Zhang's house. I hurriedly thanked them both and walked to the second house in the back alley and gently knocked on the iron ring on the door.
In a short while, the door opened and out stepped an old woman who looked at me warily. I quickly said, I am looking for Master Zhang, want to see the Five Dragon Temple. The old woman laughed and said, "So it is a student child, you hurry up to the temple, he has gone up to the temple.
I breathed a sigh of relief and rushed toward the temple. I was able to see a person with an umbrella walking slowly in front of me. I didn't care whether I recognized the wrong person or not, so I shouted Master Zhang please stay. As if he heard me, he stopped. I don't care about the mud and water splashing on the ground, walked quickly to the front of him, panting and said, I want to see the Five Dragon Temple, have been looking for you for half a day. Master Zhang listened to my words, brightly said, follow me, I was about to go to the temple.
2. Deserted ancient temple
Master Zhang opened the door to the temple, and told me while walking, this five-dragon temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, was built in honor of the god of the water, the king of the Guangren, so it is also known as the king of the Guangren Temple. It is said to be the only existing Tang Dynasty Taoist temple it. It is also known as the Five Dragons Temple because the water from the Five Dragons Spring used to gush out from the base of the temple, which is why the local people commonly call it the Five Dragons Temple. Unfortunately, now the spring has dried up, when the spring gurgling from the temple base under the scene has become a cloud of the past.
Five Dragons Temple is a courtyard-shaped 'temple buildings, by the theater, the main hall, compartmentalized, surrounded by walls, the southeast corner of the temple door. Temple after the strip of mountain smoke and rain, the ancient battlements; temple site in front of the empty and silent, forests and trees. From a distance, the temple after the ancient Wei City site hazy, as if the rain has the function of traversal, will take me into the thousands of years ago, to appreciate it once majestic and simple and magnificent.
Listening to the introduction of the old Zhang, detailed investigation of the building structure, recognizing the stone inscriptions, it is known that the five dragon temple was built in the Tang dynasty and five years (831 years), and now see the five dragon temple hall is in the Tang dynasty on the basis of the construction of the Qianlong period of restoration.
The main hall of the single-eaved hermit roof, the face of the five openings, the depth of four rack rafters, the column head arch for the five store double copied steal the heart of the creation of a variety of bucket interjections of the Department of the deepest, the arch petal angle is obvious, the internal shelves store for the arch of a large, fork hand long and strong, pygmy columns thin and short, constituting a very gently Xiamen slopes, I heard that it can be compared to the South Temple of the Wutai Mountain. Inside the hall without a pillar, beams and frames all show bright. The whole building structure is concise, showing the architectural style of Tang Dynasty. The beams and frames in the house have the inscriptions of Qing dynasty Qianlong ten years, Guangxu thirty-two years and 1958 re-modeling. Although through a thousand years of wind and rain and the change of dynasties, after many natural and man-made disasters and constant repair, but still maintains the architectural style of the Tang Dynasty.
In front of the main hall are placed in two Tang monuments, one for the "Guangren Wang Longquan record", the Tang Xianzong Yuanhe three years (808), recorded in the county magistrate Yu Gong, chiseling and drawing the water of the Longquan irrigate the farmland, the people's welfare deeds. The text cites the historical incident of Simon Bao, who drew water from Zhangzhang to rule Ye, to show Yu Gong's success in ruling Rui. It was written by Pei Shaowei of Hedong, with a strong, simple and majestic script. Another for the "Longquan record", the Tang Wenzong Daho six years (832), the inscription records the expansion and repair of the temple of the five dragons, the inscription of the "scratch the old house, the creation of a new shrine, molding the true shape of the four walls of the painting," the words, can be corroborated by the construction of the main hall of the time and scale. These two monuments to the study of China's water development history of the mid-Tang Dynasty also has a certain value.
Originally, these two monuments are set in the main hall wall. 2012, one of the monument was stolen, the city and county police to detect, and quickly arrested four people involved, recovered the monument. Because the monument set in the wall is not easy to save, so the local cultural relics workers will be in front of the temple properly placed, but also convenient for tourists to enjoy.
The Tang Dynasty ancient temple God fly, hooks and corners show God's work.
Where is the legend of the five dragons now? The first thing you need to do is to get a good look at the old temple.
3. Beautiful legend
Lao Zhang saw me again is to take pictures, and is recorded, very "professional", and then told me a story about the origins of the Temple of the Five Dragons.
Legend has it that in ancient times, there was an old couple in the area, a life of good words, good deeds, but has been no children in the knee, very unhappy. But the old couple did not stop doing good deeds. Goodness has its rewards, and indeed the old couple got a girl in their old age. When the little girl was born, there was a green and purple gas in the yard that went up to the sky. Later, two Taoist priests came to the temple and saw the girl's extraordinary appearance, so they named her "Runze". Runze girl sixteen years old, fell out of the eyebrow, and very smart, not only is the old couple of pearl, but also the four neighboring townships of the pursuit of the idol of the young man.
One day, Runze girl is washing clothes by the river, came an old Taoist, he took out a robe, said the girl, the trouble you also wash my clothes? The kind girl readily agreed. When she was ready to wash the robe, she found the buttons on the robe shining through the light, she was afraid to wash the buttons bad, so she removed all five buttons. However, it was inconvenient to store the buttons in the weeds and rocks by the river, so she put them in her mouth and washed them. When she washed the clothes, only to realize that, without realizing it, five buttons in the mouth melted. When she was in a dilemma, the Taoist came to take the robe, the girl had to tell the truth with a red face, the Taoist did not say anything, and took the robe away.
A month later, Runze girl's belly gradually grew up, the village suddenly gossip flying, people behind the girl pointing. The old couple sighed all day long and washed their faces with tears. Runze girl in order not to let her parents sad, quietly hide in a broken temple outside the village. The old couple secretly brought her food at the end of the night.
That night, after a bout of abdominal pain, Runze gave birth to five little things with the body of a snake, but with four claws. Just in time for her old mother to bring her meal, she was shocked and surprised to see her daughter give birth to these monsters. When her daughter was asleep, the old woman quietly put the five little things in a basket and covered them with a cloth, and put them one by one in the river on the way home, and then hurried home. Runze girl woke up, see no more five little things around, although they are not the same as normal children, but after all, they are all their own flesh ah, how can she bear her mother to throw them away? She then dragged her weak body to find her mother.
When she reached the river, she saw five water snakes with four claws each swimming happily towards her. They were diving in the water and flying in the air, very happy and lovely. She realized that this was their real paradise. So she came to the river every night to see her "children", play with them and watch them perform. A month later, these five little things gradually become a snake body, horse head, antlers, fish scales, cow tail shape, she marveled, this is not the legendary appearance of the dragon - is it really five dragons?
One night, thunder and lightning, wind and rain, Runze girl does not feel at ease with her "children", and braved the rain to the river. At this time, the rain stopped clouds, the moon star brilliant, a five-color clouds from the sky, floating in the river. Five dragons rose up from the water and circled around the Runze girl, escorting her on the auspicious cloud. At that moment, the immortal music played, the auspicious cloud floated up, she and her "children" slowly flew up to heaven.
The old couple had the same dream that night, and both dreamed of their daughter ascending to heaven by the river. They also dreamed that the daughter said, after the ascension, she was the Jade Emperor as "Runze Yuanjun", five dragons are also king, specializing in the responsibility of the clouds and rain. Since then, this place has always been smooth rain, and abundant crops. The local people remembered the Runze girl and the five dragons, so they built a temple to worship the five dragons, called the "five dragons temple".
The legend is not a historical fact, although it is impossible to investigate the authenticity of it, but it reflects the ancient people's reverence for nature, but also expresses the people look forward to living in harmony with nature, hoping that the seasons will be smooth, and advocating the good people have good rewards of the good wishes.
The couple has been doing good deeds all their lives, and it's too late for them to be blessed with heavenly blessings.
The five dragons were born in the sky, and the world was blessed.
4. The management room is only about ten square meters, and it is a simple house built with lightweight materials. Inside the room, there is a bed, two tables and three wooden chairs. An old-fashioned TV on one table, and a monitor to monitor the whole temple on the other table, adding some modern color to the ancient temple.
The old Zhang let me sit on the bed, gave me a cup of boiling water, and I chatted. Master Zhang is old and has three daughters and two sons, all of whom are now married. He has ten grandchildren, the oldest are in the workforce, the youngest is in junior high school. I asked him since his grandchildren, should be at home to enjoy their days, enjoy the happiness of heaven, why still come here to look after the ancient temple? After all, this kind of work does not look heavy, but it is very laborious, to always guard. Especially now some people are profit-oriented, selling cultural relics, so there is a certain risk and responsibility it.
Master Zhang lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, half a day before the nostrils from the mouth slowly overflowed a wisp of white smoke. Smoke in his leisurely calm, free and easy to say, more than 10 years ago, the village recruited to protect the ancient temple. Because of the low treatment, things pestering people, big responsibility, so the front has two people, did not work for a long time is not willing to do it again. I was just retired, idle, not old, but also a bit interested in monuments, then took the initiative to accept the job. Ushered in the spring and summer, send off the fall and winter, through the wind and rain, frost and cold. Family members complained, people ridiculed, their own heartache, pain, thrill, boredom, but things have to be done, monuments have to be cared for ah! How can we bear to let the old ancestors left behind the good things in vain spoil it?
In this way, a decade has passed. The village cadres have changed several times, but the old Zhang has been uncomplaining, quietly sticking to the place.
I listened to the admiration and said, your old man is not easy, so old, every day is still so hard, alone to watch the ancient temple. It is because of your dedication and devotion that the ancient temple can be protected, so that this historical site can be inherited. This should be a merit in the present generation, benefit in the thousand years of good things ah!
The old Zhang heard a smile, waved his hand and said, you're not old, quite good at talking. With your understanding, I am a little bitter and tired heart is also very sweet ah. In fact, people are old, idle is also idle, do something they like to do, do what they can do, so that will not be lonely, only to feel that life is meaningful. Master Zhang said, some of you now young people, all day long with a cell phone, eating and sleeping are not away from the body, delay, harm to the body, figure what? This may also be a manifestation of loneliness.
I think, Master Zhang is a thoughtful person, is a capital person. I recall a story. It's about an old farmer who, from the age of fifty, was hired by the local cultural relics bureau as the caretaker of an ancient tomb. Since then, he moved his home to the side of the ancient tomb and guarded it dutifully every day. The good thing is that there is a large area of barren land next to the tomb that is not cultivated, so he planted crops and vegetables, and lived a life outside the paradise.
At the end of the first few years, the Bureau of Cultural Relics also sent people to send wages and condolences, and then this many years there is no one to send. The old farmer did not care, as always, silently guarded. A wink of twenty years past, the old farmer due to old age, feeling can not continue to guard the tomb, they will apply to the leadership of the Bureau of Cultural Relics replacement.
The leadership of the Bureau of Cultural Heritage rushed to call people to find out the situation, the heart can not help but a burst of sour. Because the provincial experts have long surveyed the results, the tomb is just a shadow burial tomb, which is often referred to as the crown mound, not much historical value. Because the leadership has changed one after another, the staff position is also constantly changing, slowly ignored this. It is occasionally remembered, but also think that no one to ask about this tomb, do not send wages, the old farmer will automatically give up and leave. Who would have thought that the old farmer is actually "a stick in the mud", so many years has been silently dead in there. An empty tomb actually consumed the old farmer for more than twenty years!
The leaders of the Cultural Heritage Bureau felt bad, so they gave the old farmer a sum of money to compensate, and apologized to the old farmer. The old farmer was not angry, sad, he felt that he was just according to the requirements of the higher-ups, to do a good job on the inner guilt.
I think, Mr. Zhang and the story of the old farmer are lovely and respectable people, they will be their dozens of years of dedication to the protection of historical sites and relics, without complaint, willing to guard the lonely, although the deeds of the ordinary, but their image in my heart is very tall. We are supposed to give them a point of praise.
Some people say that today's society is not ancient, the world is going downhill. The media reported a number of places some of the elderly, some of the square dancing with high decibel music, some in the residential area waving a long whip, self-concerned about their own arbitrary, regardless of the impact of the normal life of many residents, and even more so on the street bumper blackmail. It is really disrespectful for the elderly. It is time for them to learn from the elderly like Master CHEUNG and the old farmers. In this way, only in the community to form a respect for the elderly and love children, unity and friendship, harmony and good customs.
Decades to guard the ancient temple, no complaints and no regrets to avoid the dust.
The old man's heart is not silent, the protection of monuments people happy.
5.generous "brother"
People say that the autumn rain is continuous, this is true, the rain is more and more big, I do not dare to delay, then take out the "brother" to give me the business card, dial his phone number. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm going to be able to do it," he said.
A short while later, the cab came, and he called me to wait at the bottom of the slope. I said goodbye to Mr. Zhang with both hands, and looked back at the Five Dragon Temple, and said goodbye to him, and got back in the cab.
After getting off the bus in the county, I rushed to the "One" to do my business because of the urgency. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to find the right one, but I'm sure you're going to be able to find the right one. When I lost my cell phone, I suddenly felt as if I had lost the whole world. A good friend once said, a day not on QQ and WeChat, feel disconnected from the world. The first thing I've learned is that I'm not a big fan of the idea.
I rushed to the bar to my cell phone to call the past, listening to the beep beep beep ringing, my heart immediately hung up, afraid to hear "the phone you dialed has been shut down" sound. Because the other side of the phone off, that is to be obscured your cell phone. The first time no one answered, I played again, and finally got through.
I listened to the "brother" voice, they are embarrassed to say that fell out of the phone, and promised to return it I will pay him. He generously said, what pay no pay, where are you now? I'll send it to you right away. I'm so happy to hear this, and I hurriedly said my location.
"The brother" soon sent the phone to me, I was very touched, took out a hundred dollar bill to thank him. He pushed my hand back and said, you child, this is underestimating me! I'm not sure how much I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it in the future.
Although my cell phone is not very valuable, but it is a tool for me to keep in touch with the outside world, which stores a lot of my contacts and secrets.
I'm very lucky. A lot of people lost things, like meat bags hit the dog - never come back, more a little low, on the street by the "three hands" out of the pocket. In the face of the "brother" of honesty, simplicity, generosity, I went back immediately after the blog to give him a point on the praise.
The man who picks up the goods is a man of good character, and he is known for his simplicity and honesty.
A thousand kanji can't buy you honesty, so I'm grateful for the praise.
The traveler's journey is absurd. The ancient simplicity of the Temple of the Five Dragons, the beauty of the legend, the persistence of the old Zhang, the "brother" of the generous, the lingering autumn rain, the loss of the phone back to the ...... make me unforgettable, the impulse to write.
Half a day's time is not long, the journey is not far, but it allows me to touch the history, increased knowledge, experienced lessons, learned to behave, know how to live, and get harvest. I believe that, in the future journey of life, so much more walking and watching, learning and remembering, thinking and comprehending, on their own maturity, growth and success, it will be very beneficial and beneficial!
