Longpanji

There is a huge reef in the big river outside xiaodongmenwai in Ezhou city. The rocks are winding like golden dragons, which is called "longpanji". In 221 A.D., Sun Quan, the king of Wu in the Three Kingdoms, moved his capital to e County, and changed E county to Wu Chang (from the Three Kingdoms to the early years of the Republic of China, e County was called Wu Chang for more than 1600 years, and the name of Wu Chang was given over to Jiang Xia in the revolution of 1911). On the eve of Wuchang's becoming emperor, Sun Quan heard that there was a yellow dragon lying on a huge stone in the middle of the river. It echoes the "Phoenix Terrace" on the East Bank of the river, and is also known as the "dragon and Phoenix collection", which is just the auspicious omen of the emperor's capital. Later, it was said that Guanyin Bodhisattva liked Fengshui here and came to panlongji to recuperate. The first Pavilion on the Yangtze River is Guanyin Pavilion. Guanyin pavilion was built in Tieshan, the capital of Yuan Dynasty, and repaired in the early Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty, Jiajing period of Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The world is full of vicissitudes, destruction and repair. The stone of panlongji looks up to the west, and the Guanyin Pavilion stands above the dragon's head, just like flying in the air, dangling in the river, facing east and West, and standing against the water. The pavilion is 24 meters long, 10 meters wide and 14 meters high. It is made of stones and is built of green bricks. It is a pavilion style building with a wooden frame structure, which is ingenious. The arched stone wall, like the side of a ship, not only slows down the water potential, but also discharges the water along with it. For thousands of years, it has been weather beaten and has seen the Yangtze River. Every flood season, the water overflows the pavilions, leaving only high-rise windows, and even the eaves, dragon kisses, and central pavilions among the vast waters of the Yangtze River. The surging waves once swept away many louhuagou. However, "the mainstay is Panlong" (an official poem of the Qing Dynasty). Once the flood season passed, the water came out, and it came out again. It was in the middle of the river, showing the wonderful use of fluid mechanics and the unique creative art of ancient Wuchang craftsmen. The main wall of Guanyin Pavilion is engraved with three powerful characters of "Guanyin Pavilion". The four characters "Longpan Xiaodu" engraved on the stone tablet at the main entrance of the pavilion are written by the Qing government. After he was stationed in Huangzhou, he stood at Jitou of Chibi in the early morning, and occasionally looked at the center of Ezhou River on the opposite bank. He saw the wheel of Shiji and the towering ancient pavilion. When he came to see it in person, he sighed and wrote happily. The pavilion has a pavilion, two halls and two floors, with a total area of more than 300 square meters. From west to East, the pavilion includes Guanlan Pavilion, dongfangshuo hall, Guanyin hall, Laojun hall and Chunyang building. On the Guanlan Pavilion, overlooking the river, the scenery is magnificent; in the triple hall, the article is brilliant. Lu Dongbin is sleeping soundly in Chunyang upstairs. When visitors come here, they will stop and hold their breath and smile: is this Penglai fairyland where you are? There are also simple stone Avalokitesvara and lifelike statues of Eight Immortals in the pavilion. Jishang architecture, carved dragon and painted Phoenix, pavilions scattered, majestic towering, eaves teeth high cut. It is said that in ancient times, Guanyin Pavilion could rise and fall with the tide. There were two notches on longpanji, which were said to be the two giant eyes of "shenbie", one producing oil and the other salt. Later, a greedy Taoist in the pavilion enlarged the diameter of the notch several times with a chisel, hoping to produce more oil and salt. Unexpectedly, the God turtle's eyes were blinded, no more oil and salt, Guanyin Pavilion can't go up and down with the tide. This story has been handed down for several years, but it can't be confirmed, but as long as Guanyin Pavilion exists, it will probably be handed down from generation to generation, giving enlightenment to future generations. Several old trees on the stone wall, which had been withered for many years, have come back to life in recent years. They are spreading new branches of tender teeth and embracing the arrival of spring. The old well in the pavilion has been clear since ancient times, and its water level is several feet higher than that of the river. This old well, ancient tree and shenbieyan are called "three interests" of Guanyin Pavilion.

historical origin

In 221 ad, Sun Quan, the king of Wu in the Three Kingdoms, moved his capital to e County, and changed E county to Wuchang (from the Three Kingdoms to the early years of the Republic of China, e County has been called Wuchang for more than 1600 years, and the name of Wuchang was given over to Jiangxia in the revolution of 1911).

On the eve of Wuchang's becoming emperor, Sun Quan heard that there was a yellow dragon lying on a huge stone in the middle of the river. It echoes the "Phoenix Terrace" on the East Bank of the river, and is also known as the "dragon and Phoenix collection", which is just the auspicious omen of the emperor's capital. Later, it was said that Guanyin Bodhisattva liked Fengshui here and came to panlongji to recuperate. The first Pavilion on the Yangtze River is Guanyin Pavilion.

Guanyin pavilion was built in Tieshan, the capital of Yuan Dynasty, and repaired in the early Hongzhi period of Ming Dynasty, Jiajing period of Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The world is full of vicissitudes, destruction and repair. The stone of panlongji looks up to the west, and the Guanyin Pavilion stands above the dragon's head, just like flying in the air, dangling in the river, facing east and West, and standing against the water.

There are also simple stone Avalokitesvara and lifelike statues of Eight Immortals in the pavilion. Jishang architecture, carved dragon and painted Phoenix, pavilions scattered, majestic towering, eaves teeth high cut.

Several ancient trees on the stone wall, which had been withered for many years, have come back to life after death. They are stretching the new branches of tender teeth and embracing the arrival of spring. The old well in the pavilion has been clear since ancient times, and its water level is several feet higher than that of the river. This old well, ancient tree and shenbieyan are called "three interests" of Guanyin Pavilion.

Since ancient times, the Guanyin Pavilion, located in the middle of the turbulent River, has attracted many tourists to explore the dangerous scenery, to pursue the traces of the sages, to pray for the Buddha's shadow, or to worship the loyal soul of Qu Zi. Yinbin tower is always echoing the poems and verses of ancient literati and poets: "the half of the river is rugged, and the tower on the stone is full of blue waves.".

"At sunrise, the river's flowers are more red than fire, and the river's water is as green as blue in spring.". For more than 20 years, Ezhou Municipal People's government has paid attention to the protection and restoration of scenic spots and historic sites. The scenery in the pavilion has been renovated, with famous calligraphy and paintings on display and boats for ferry service. Visitors can't forget to go back. Jishang xianaoyan, ancient trees and old wells are known as "three interests". Between the walls of the pavilion is an old cardamom tree, which is as green as a canopy. An old well in the back wall of the pavilion is very cold. In the dry season of the Yangtze River, the well water can be several feet higher than the river water, which is amazing.

There are many famous pavilions in the world. There is no one like Guanyin Pavilion, which stands on the river and rises and falls with the river

And ups and downs. In the summer flood season, the river rises and overflows to the Guanyin Pavilion. If the pavilion in the water floats on the lotus, it is elegant and follows the waves. In the dry season, longpanji is like a giant fish, floating out of the water, carrying the towering Guanyin Pavilion on its broad back and standing firmly in the river. As soon as the river changes its wild nature in summer, it is docile. Occasionally, the boat passed the waves, and the winter water was still speechless.

In 2006, in the list of the Sixth Batch of national key cultural relics protection units approved and released by the State Council, Guanyin Pavilion in Ezhou was listed as "ancient architecture". So far, 18 years after Yiting moling rock carving was listed as the third batch of national key cultural relics protection units in 1988, Ezhou has the second national key cultural relics protection unit.

Folklore

The folklore about longpanji is quite magical. There is a folk saying that "Guanyin Pavilion rises and falls with the water". It can be thought that no matter how high the water rises, because Guanyin Pavilion is carried by Shenao, it can rise and fall with the water. There are also two stone mortars on longpanji, which are said to be the eyes of Shenao. It is located in front of the Guanyin Pavilion on yinglangji at the head of longpanji. After the completion of Guanyin Pavilion, a monk was sent to guard Lingquan temple in Xishan. From time to time, some pilgrims went up to offer incense and make wishes.

In order to save him from the pain of going ashore to buy oil and salt, Guanyin let one eye of the magic claw produce oil and one eye salt for monks and pilgrims. One day, a traveling Taoist passed by Wuchang and took a fancy to Guanyin Pavilion. He boarded it to borrow it. The monk accepted the Taoist's sojourn. Monks chant scriptures while Taoists practice Taoism without interfering with each other. Tao is lazy and never cooks, but monks are lazy
