Guanglang nunnery

Guanglang nunnery

Located in the southern suburb of Zhonghe Town, Danzhou City, Su Dongpo lived in Danzhou for three years. During the reign of song Shaosheng, when Su Dongpo and his son first arrived in Danzhou, the local official Zhang Zhong respected Su Dongpo very much and let Su's father and son live in the house of the government and regularly distribute official grain to them. After being expelled by the boss, Dongpo father and son have no room to live in, and they are in a very miserable situation. Local officials and people were very sympathetic, so they helped Su Dongpo build a house in the south of the city. With the help of the villagers, they built three huts. Although insects and ants breed around, the hut is located in the "bamboo body green leaf Begonia branch" of the Kuang Lang forest. Dongpo was relieved and named the hut "Kuang Lang nunnery".

In the same year, Su Dongpo helped the villagers to dig a well, which was full of spring and sweet water. The villagers named it "Dongpo well". Well water has never dried up for hundreds of years. Guanglang nunnery is the remains of Su Dongpo's life in Danzhou for three years, which has been repaired and expanded many times in the past dynasties. Guanglang nunnery was specially restored by the local government in recent years.

origin

When Su Dongpo and his son arrived in Dan, they were respected by Zhang Zhong, the state official. They lived in official houses and ordered official grain. The next year, in April of the fifth year of song Shaosheng, the imperial court sent Dong Biwu from Hunan Province to visit Guangxi. On the way to Leizhou, the imperial court learned that Dongpo lived in Danzhou's official house, and sent someone to drive Dongpo and his son out.

Dongpo's father and son had no room to live in and were in a very miserable situation. The local people are very sympathetic.

When Su Dongpo decided to buy land to build a house in the yanlang forest in the south of the city, "bangqun (i.e. Zhangzhong) has a dustpan, and the neighborhood has nothing to do with it", "Danren transports the dustpan to help it", "more than ten students help it, and bow to the battle of muddy water".

With the help of the villagers, three huts were completed in May of the 50th year of Shaosheng.

Despite the desolation, mosquito breeding and harsh environment, the poet finally had his own home.

Because maowu is located in the tropical tree "bamboo body green leaf Begonia branch" yanlang forest, Dongpo was relieved, so he named Maoan "yanlang Temple" and titled "yanlang Temple inscription": "Dongpo's residents were banished to Danzhou, had no land to live in, died in the forest, picked the leaf inscription to remember its place." At that time, Su Dongpo helped the villagers to dig a well. The spring was prosperous and the water was sweet. The villagers named it "Dongpo well".

For hundreds of years, the sweet well water has never dried up.

experience

In the spring of the fourth year of Yanyou (1317) of the Yuan Dynasty, Su Zhenglian of Hainan Province, north of Qianhai, visited the military headquarters of situdu. When he saw that there was no ancestral temple, he built three halls at the original site of yanlang nunnery to make "Dongpo ancestral temple". In the Ming Dynasty, the former site of kuanlang nunnery was still there.

In the 45th year of Kangxi (1706) of the Qing Dynasty, Han you, the governor of the state, built an ancestral temple on the old site. In 1847, Xing De and Li Wenbin, the gentry of the state, initiated the construction of a new main hall with five eyes, a lecture hall with five eyes and a headgate with three eyes.

In 1887, Zeng Yuying, a gentry of the Qing Dynasty, proposed that Cui zengrei should be respected in Qingzhou. The city funded the establishment of "yanlang academy" and added some buildings. Unfortunately, in 1920, the "yanlang Temple" was destroyed.

present situation

Yanlang nunnery is a portrayal of Su Dongpo's rural life in Danzhou for three years. It is also an important symbol of great literary masters' deep love for Danzhou people. It has been repaired and expanded for many times in the past dynasties, which shows people's heart.

Today, the people's Government of Danzhou City has allocated funds for the design and drawing of the Kuanglang nunnery to repair it and display the historical relics of Su Dongpo, so as to reproduce the real situation of his father and son living in Danzhou, and to express the permanent memory and commemoration of Su Dongpo by Hainan people.
