brief introduction
Puyou temple is located in Chengde City, Hebei Province. Before the construction of Puyou temple, Chengde had three Royal temples with a large number of lamas. In order to strengthen the connection between the inland and the Mongolian and Tibetan areas through religious channels and improve the cultural quality of lamas, the Qing government established the ZHACANG (the affiliated Confucian School of the temple) for lamas to chant sutras in the east of Puning Temple in 1760, which became the later Puyou temple. Puyou temple is managed by the abbot of Puning Temple, and religious life is attached to Puning Temple. During the Qianlong period, Puyou Temple set up "four schools", which are equivalent to the Department of today. They are Xianzong, Mizong, Lisuan and medicine.
Puyou temple is the "School of Confucian classics" of the lamas in the eight outer temples of Chengde. The learning content is divided into four parts: Xianzong, Mizong, medicine and calendar. Not only the lamas from the eight outer temples are trained here, but also the lamas from various Mongolian tribes are sent here to study scriptures. All the expenses of learning classics were provided by the Qing government. At that time, it was not only a Confucian school where lamas gathered to study Buddhist classics and theories, but also an important place for religious activities.
history
Puyou temple was built in 1760. This year coincides with the 50th birthday of Emperor Qianlong and the 70th birthday of his mother empress dowager. It was also the time for the Qing army to send troops to the northwest to put an end to the rebellion of Huibu, Xiaohe and zhuomu. This was another victory after putting an end to the rebellion of dawaqi and amursana in Junggar, which completely ended the 90 years' chaos of separatist rule in the northwest frontier and brought peace to the people of all ethnic groups.
In 1964, Puyou Temple caught fire due to lightning strike. Most of the buildings were destroyed by the fire. At that time, only the mountain gate and four auxiliary halls were left. The renovated Puyou temple was officially opened to tourists on June 27, 1996.
Puyou temple covers an area of 9000 square meters, sitting in the north to the south, the layout is rectangular. The plane layout breaks the traditional Chinese style of "Jialan seven halls". The Tianwang hall is in the middle, with a Buddhist hall in the front and a concave Sutra tower in the back, forming a two-story courtyard in the front and back. The layout is very strict. The Buddha statues in the hall are also different from those in other temples, either Han or Tibetan. It is a unique temple in Waiba temple.
On May 25, 2006, as an ancient building of the Qing Dynasty, Puyou temple was approved by the State Council to be listed in the Sixth Batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
layout
The architectural style of the temple is mainly Han nationality, but the layout is unique. Puyou temple is connected with the Puning Temple, 59.3 meters from east to west, 116 meters from north to south, covering an area of 0.68 hectares. The mountain gate is parallel to the Mountain Gate of Puning Temple, with five couplets in width, three rooms in depth and waist gates on both sides. To the north of the mountain gate is the great Fangguang hall, with seven broad Ying faces, five deep rooms and a single eaves on the top of the hall. The front eaves couplet of dafangguang hall is "wonderful appearance, solemn benevolence, applying to Huafan, wisdom, being gifted and happy to contact people and heaven"; the title of the hall is "great merits and virtues". There is a couplet "Dharma performance Mahayana Miaoyin zonghaicang, Fu and Qin all circles are willing to puhengsha". The East and West in front of the hall are the side halls, each with three couplets, forming a courtyard. In front of the courtyard is the heavenly king's hall, with three broad couplets on its face, one deep room and one single eaves resting on the top of the mountain. In front of the second courtyard is the heavenly king's hall, with three broad couplets on its face, one deep room and one single eaves resting on the top of the mountain. On both sides are waist walls and waist doors.
In the north of Tianwang hall is Falun hall, which is the Sutra collection building in the temple. It has seven rooms in width and seven rooms in depth, with porches around it, square double eaves and sharp roofs, and yellow willow tiles covering the roof. There is xumizuo platform base under it, with three steps in the north and one step in the East and one step in the West. Three columns are arranged along the square platform, and water chestnut partition fans are installed between the old eaves and columns. There are three rooms in the middle of the north and south, one in the middle of the East and the west, with doors and windows in other rooms. The upper eaves are built with seven step single cocked single bucket arches, and the lower eaves are built with five step single cocked single bucket arches. In the hall, the ceiling of the well head is built, and the four corners are made of angle beams to form an octagonal well head, with a square caisson in the center. Inside the hall is Sakyamuni's gilded bronze Buddha. There are five couplets in front of the hall. Behind the hall of Falun is an "n" shaped Sutra tower, with two floors and a wide surface of thirteen couplets. It has a hard mountain roof, and the front eaves come out of the corridor. The corridor is connected with the East and west auxiliary hall. There is a fence between the columns on the second floor, the eaves are supported by sparrows, and the waist eaves are hung with bead plates. The lower column is hung upside down with flower teeth at both ends. There are 508 statues of arhat in different shapes in the original, but only 194 are left now, of which 18 are transferred to Beijing as national cultural relics.
