summary

Before the liberation of Chongqing, there was a temple that neither worshiped Taoism nor offered Buddhism. Its scale was large or small.

This temple, which has no Taoist or monk, is famous for its incense. It has protected the city for 105 years, standing between the ups and downs of the cliffs and mountains.

It is the luzu temple that only hears its sound but not its appearance.

history

Luzu temple, built in 1911, Chongqing is in the important period of the first port expansion. Chongqing wharf became the first trading port in the inland area. For a time, merchants gathered, shops and business names were numerous, and the land along the riverside wharf was rare and the wall was narrow. People began to seek commercial space from the cliff on a large scale to live and develop.

It is also in such a period that all kinds of people, all kinds of resources, all kinds of capital gather, people build and expand the city, and it is not easy to build a city on a rolling mountain where the two rivers meet. In a period of time, industrial accidents were frequent and people were in a panic, and local governments were often at a loss.

At that time, there were so many craftsmen and artists that the government couldn't manage them for a while, which resulted in the organization of Tangkou guild of various industries. Later, the wood industry guild sponsored the construction of a Luban Temple beside Minsheng Road, and a two-story wing room was built on both sides of the temple to form a patio dam. In front of the dam, a stage was built at the same time, which is where the current global market is located.

Because the temple was built spontaneously by the people, it is not large in scale and does not need to support the abbot of the temple. The temple only worships the Master Lu Ban and his disciples. People are allowed to offer sacrifices, pray for disasters and take care of themselves.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the gate of the temple opened, Chongqing was really prosperous. At that time, the stage was the most popular entertainment place for the people in the main city of Chongqing.

According to the old people, during the Anti Japanese war in Chongqing, Japanese planes bombed Chongqing, and the Jiefangbei near Chichi was often bombed beyond recognition. However, the shops and houses near luzu temple were safe and sound, and every disaster left it. The common people call Qi Qi strange, but they can't understand it. Is it true that Lu Ban's first master is alive?

The temple has been burning for decades without interruption.

With the founding of new China, all kinds of industries are waiting for prosperity, and school resources are scarce. Some people think that the temple property has no ownership, so almost all the temples in Yuzhong District have become the locations of primary and secondary schools, and luzu temple is no exception. The primary school in miaozili is also called luzu Temple Primary School.

According to the old man who once studied in this primary school, although the temple was changed into a school at that time, in fact, it only used the ear room and wing room beside it to make classrooms and offices. The main hall in the middle has been dedicated to the Master Lu Ban and his disciples, and the incense has been constantly burning, but it is no longer as vigorous as before.

Ruins

The name of luzumiao primary school also changed several times with the changes of the times, and then changed to Minsheng Road Primary School.

Luzu temple has been transformed into a school for 20 or 30 years. It has become a disgraceful primary school in the main city. Therefore, someone proposed to demolish the temple and rebuild it. Since then, luzu Temple no longer exists and only has its reputation in the city. This is why people in this city know luzu temple, but they don't know where it is.

How many legends and stories are there in luzu temple? Just as this city is always full of mystery and magic.
