Sinus doctor Temple

Sinus doctor Temple

Doudafu temple, also known as Yingji temple and Lieshi temple, is located in Shanglan village, 20 kilometers northwest of Taiyuan City, on the East Bank of Fenhe River

It is close to Erlong mountain in the north, Lieshi cold spring in the West and Zhao Daiwen temple in the East

It is a temple dedicated to ch ō u, a senior official of the state of Jin in the spring and Autumn period. Dou Xun, whose name is Mingdu, was granted land in today's Taiyuan. He once opened a canal in langmeng (today's Yangqu Huangzhai) to make profits, so he was commemorated by later generations. In the eighth year of Yuanfeng in Song Dynasty (1085), Shenzong granted him the title of Yingji marquis. Therefore, the temple is also called Yingji temple.

Brief introduction of ancestral temple

The date of its establishment is unknown, but the sentence "standing on the horse to see the statue of Dou GUI" in the poem you lie Shi written by Li pin in the Tang Dynasty proves that the temple existed in the Tang Dynasty. In June of the eighth year of Yuanfeng in Song Dynasty, the temple was flooded by Fenshui, so it was moved to the north for reconstruction. There are many inscriptions in the past dynasties. Among the existing buildings, Shanmen, Xiandian and Dadian were rebuilt in the third year of the Yuan Dynasty (1343), and some of them still have the architectural style of song and Jin Dynasties. The Xianting Pavilion is large, and its rear eaves are replaced by the porch pillars of the Dadian, which is rigorous and unique in structure.

The architecture of the temple is majestic and magnificent, simple and deep; there is a sitting statue of Dou in the main hall, with a natural look. The surrounding environment of the temple is even more beautiful: the clear spring is bubbling out from under the cangya cliff of Lieshi mountain, clear to the bottom, and the number of fish can be counted; the temperature of the spring is low, so it is called "cold spring", which complements the ancient temple of Cuibai. It is quaint and interesting. "Lieshi cold spring" has become one of the scenic spots in Taiyuan. In front of the small temple beside the cold spring, there is an inscription of "Lingquan", which is said to have been written by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty. There are many Platycladus orientalis in the temple, with strong branches.

Reconstruction and repair

The founding date of Dou temple is unknown, and the latest time is before the Tang Dynasty. In the eighth year of Yuanfeng (1085 AD), the Fenhe River rose sharply and the ancestral temple was flooded, so it was moved to the north for reconstruction. Since then, "the people of the state have prayed and received many responses." Therefore, in the first year of song Daguan (1107 AD), Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty granted Dou Hua the title of Marquis of Yingji. "In the name of Yingji, Dou ancestral temple is also called Yingji ancestral temple because it takes life and spirit to die and helps things.".

After the reconstruction, the ancestral temple was repaired in all dynasties. The main hall, Xianting and Shanmen hall were rebuilt in the third year of Zhizheng reign of Yuan Dynasty (1343 AD). There are more than 50 halls in the ancestral hall of doctor Dou. Among them, the Liuli tuanlongshanmen, the square caisson Pavilion and the five hanging mountain main hall are all relics of the Yuan Dynasty, some of which retain the style of song and Jin Dynasties. Inside the hall for the doctor, beautiful beard, elegant. There are Wutong trees on the left, and the hand can be removed from the common customs. There are eight scenes in the shrine. Wutong is one of the eight scenes. On the left of the temple are Baoning temple in Ming Dynasty and Zhao Daiwen residence in modern times.

Experience

Zhao Daiwen (1867-1943), a native of Wutai, was a member of the alliance. He once served as chairman of the Kuomintang government in Shanxi Province and chairman of the Kuomintang party department in Shanxi Province. The residence is a triple courtyard building, with more than 40 houses including the hall, main hall and partial courtyard. There is a garden in the back and Zhao Daiwen's tomb in the garden. The above temples, temples and pavilions are integrated and connected with each other, with a width of nearly 200 meters from east to west and a visiting area of more than 10000 square meters. On the right side of the temple, there is another "strong stone cold spring", which is also one of the eight scenes of the old Yangqu. The underground water gushes out and converges into a pool. "Fen water gets strong stone spring, and the momentum begins to surge." it can be seen that the flow is very large, and the summer is cold and the winter is warm. There is a poem saying that "people are curling in June, so it is called cold spring.

There is a small temple beside the spring, engraved with the word "Lingquan", written by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, in September of the first year of Chongning (1102). The cold spring was destroyed in the cultural revolution, and it is planned to use Fenshui to restore it. In front of the temple, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Fen River at lieshikou. The Erlong mountain behind the ancestral temple, with all kinds of flowers blooming, is to be built into a peak park.

The ancestral temple is close to Shanglan Town, with a prosperous market and favorable conditions for developing "six elements" of tourism. It can become the center of this tourist area.

Main landscape

There are two glazed dragon groups on both sides of the inner walls, which are also the original works of the Yuan Dynasty. There are two red and white horses in the hall, which are said to be Erlang's horses. On both sides of the gate hall are the bell and drum towers. On the west side of the hall is the "Drum Tower stone column", one of the eight sceneries in the temple. The four pillars of the drum tower are stone pillars, while the pillars of the bell tower Pavilion on the east side are wooden pillars

. When you enter the ancestral temple, you will see the pavilion, which covers an area of more than 130 square meters. The four pillars, with a diameter of 0.8 meters, hold up the top of the pavilion.

The pavilion is majestic in shape, with its cornices tilted, just like the wings of a ROC. What's amazing is that its caisson is completely composed of wood blocks and strips interlaced and occluded, without a nail. Moreover, it is sparsely arranged and exquisitely shaped, presenting eight diagrams. It is a rare work of Art. Xianting is a hall for offering sacrifices. It is also interesting that the Xianting and the main hall of Dou ancestral temple are integrated, which is rare in other ancestral halls.

The main hall is more than 20 meters wide and 15 meters high, with a statue of doctor Dou sitting inside. It is said that it is an altar for the Dragon King. When people pray for rain, they should invite the Dragon King to the main hall to worship. Wutong for many, many years to come, and the Wutong tree is dry and bright and shining like paint. The legend is that visitors will touch the trunk with their hands after they worship, so as to wipe out all diseases. This is also one of the eight scenes of the Dou temple, called "the sacred plane Wutong".

Although the scale of the ancestral temple is small, the surrounding landscape is relatively concentrated. There are Guanyin Pavilion and Baoning temple outside the east wall of the courtyard, and Zhao Daiwen residence site to the East. Cixi is one of the eight scenic spots in Taiyuan. The stone wall of lieshikou at the turning point of Fenhe River is tens of feet high. It is majestic, and the cold spring gushes out from the foot of the mountain. It's a pity that today the stone is still strong and the cold spring is no longer cold. We can only look at the word "Lingquan" and the dried up triangular spring under the spring Pavilion, and think about the beautiful scenery of the clear spring and the blue pool.

——Shen Rongchang mentions the temple of doctor Dou

There were three famous craftsmen's plaques in the Xiandian Hall of doctor Dou's ancestral hall, which were "Zebei cangsheng", "LINGJI Fenyuan" and "Renzhou Sanjin". The couplets are drawn up by Shen Rongchang, the commander of Fengtai in the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty. The couplets are neat and appropriate, which makes people aftertaste. In 1959, when Guo Moruo visited the ancestral hall of doctor Dou, he wrote an inscription, in which the first two sentences of "Confucius returns to the place where he drives, but I come here by car", which is the same as this couplet.

From Taiyuan City northbound, the East Bank of the Fenhe River Lancun West Lieshi mountain, there are doctor Dou temple, adjacent to North University.

The name of doctor Dou is Mingdu. He was a doctor of the state of Jin in the spring and Autumn period. His fiefdom was in the ancient village in the northwest of Taiyuan. Doctor Dou once had a good policy of opening canals to benefit the people in Langyu, that is, Huangzhai in Yangqu County of Taiyuan today. Later generations set up a temple to commemorate him, because the temple was built at the foot of Lieshi mountain, also known as Lieshi temple.

In 499 BC, he was killed by Zhao Jianzi. There are many reasons why Zhao Jianzi killed doctor Dou.

Official records

In Hong Mai's Rong Zhai essays in Song Dynasty, Zhang Yan's annotation was quoted to say that Jian Zi wanted to divide Jin State, so he killed Ming Du first. However, from the historical facts, when Zhao Jianzi killed doctor Dou, Jin was in the era of the dictatorship of the six ministers, and the Zhao family did not occupy much advantage. Perhaps at that time, Zhao Jianzi already had a grand plan of dividing Jin into independent states, but he didn't have the conditions and didn't dare to put this plan into practice in a hurry. We should know that Zhao Xiangzi, Zhao Jianzi's son, realized the third division of Jin only 54 years after the death of doctor Dou. Therefore, it is impossible for Zhao Jianzi to remove doctor Dou as an obstacle in advance because he wanted to carve up Jin.

According to the records of Taiyuan Prefecture, Zhao Jianzi wanted to dominate the world. He called doctor Dou and others to inquire about politics, and then killed them afterwards. When Confucius traveled around the world, he once told Zigong that when Zhao Jianzi was not successful, he praised them and killed them. It seems that Dr. Dou died of Zhao Jianzi's death. However, under the circumstances of sharp contradictions and fierce struggle between the six Qing Dynasties, Zhao Jianzi paid great attention to the promotion of talents and abilities, and won the hearts of the people. It is also impossible to give people a handle and lose the hearts of the people just because he killed Dr. Dou.

So what is the real reason why Zhao Jianzi killed doctor Dou? Doctor Dou was in the transitional period from slave society to feudal society. Every country was carrying out feudal reform. From the perspective of patriarchal system in the Western Zhou Dynasty, this was undoubtedly unorthodox, which was strongly opposed by Confucius and others. However, doctor Dou highly praised Confucius' ideas. Reform requires courage, while maintaining orthodoxy requires courage. Both are equally valuable, but the contradiction between the two sides is irreconcilable. Therefore, the main reason for Zhao Jianzi's killing of doctor Dou is his different political opinions.

Zhao Jianzi once invited Confucius to give lectures and exchange in the state of Jin. Of course, some people suspect that Zhao Jianzi's real purpose is to lure and kill Confucius, but this argument is too groundless. When Confucius went to the Yellow River, he heard the news that doctor Dou had been killed. Looking at the surging river, Confucius sighed: "magnificent, the Yellow River is so vast, how grand. The reason why I can't cross the Yellow River is also the arrangement of fate." Zi Gong didn't understand what he meant and asked Confucius: "they were all virtuous doctors of Jin State. When Zhao Jianzi didn't succeed, he had the same political views as them. Once he succeeded, he killed them and carried out his own new policy.
