Historical evolution

In 1370 A.D. (the third year of Hongwu) of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates living in Korea and along the coast of China suddenly landed on the Hanjiang River in Xiangzhi, threatening the security of Quanzhou. In April of 1387 (the 20th year of Hongwu), Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Taizu, sent Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, the hometown of Fengyang, Anhui Province, to inspect the southeast coast. A city was built on a hill to the south of Huangqi mountain, the 32nd capital of dongzhoupu in Huian County. In the northwest of the city, there is a village called Huangqi village, which is named Huangqi city. The city wall is 150 feet around, one foot and two feet thick. It is even two feet high with a parapet. It has eight bunkers and two doors in the north and south. On top of the building, there are 30 barracks in the city to house the bowmen. At that time, there were 100 bowmen.

"One county has its place, and one county has its guard." Therefore, yongningwei was set up in Quanzhou, which has jurisdiction over five institutes, namely Fuquan, zhongzuo, Jinmen, Gaopu and Chongwu.

Huian has five cities, namely Chongwu city (Chongwu ancient city), Rex Cave City, Xiaoyi City (Dongshan Acropolis), Huangqi city (Jingfeng lotus Acropolis) and Fengwei city. Huangqicheng is under the jurisdiction of Chongwu. In the Qing Dynasty, the garrison was abolished and the standard was raised instead. Kangxi 24 years (1685), still pull the standard defense, under the former camp. One guerrilla was stationed in Fucheng, one garrison was stationed in Huian County, and two thousand generals were stationed in Fucheng and chongwuxun respectively. Chongwu flood control is also divided into Luoyang Bridge flood control and Huangqi flood control. Huangqixun has 65 soldiers and 4 horses. In Daoguang period (1821-1850), there were 1 flood control officer, 1 flood control officer, 40 troops and 1 sentry ship in Huangqi flood control.

Tourism landscape

Ancient city wall South Gate:

Huangqi City, which once played an important role in the fight against Japanese pirates along the southeast coast, has been ruined after more than 600 years of wind and rain. The measured perimeter of the existing city site is about 520 meters. The north gate has disappeared, and only the South Gate (arch) is intact. According to the field measurement, the residual height is 2.7 meters, the width is 2.25 meters, and the thickness is 1.1 meters. The city tower has been destroyed. All the walls, plates, arrow windows, battlements and beacon towers of the city have collapsed. Except for the southeast and northeast, the rest of the city wall collapsed, leaving only the foundation. When you enter the city along a road paved with granite strips and stones, there are no huts, barracks or foundations. The terrain of the city is high and uneven, and it has been reclaimed by Donglian villagers and Ducuo villagers nearby. There are about 30 mu of arable land.

Ancient temple - Lingshan ancient temple:

In the south of Huangqi City, there is an ancient temple called Lingshan ancient temple, Jingfeng Liancheng Lingshan ancient temple, Zhong lingyuxiu. It's located on the hill of Acropolis, and it's a fortress of jiaodouwei. Overlooking Dongming, the scenery is picturesque, and everyone is called Liancheng temple. Liancheng temple was built in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. The main hall is called "guanyinma", which is also called "chengdingma". In front of the statue of goddess guanyinma is a long poem written by Xuantong in 1911. On both sides of the main hall are the stories of the Three Kingdoms and the dragon and tiger patterns carved by the famous stone carving masters of Chongwu. If you look carefully at the stone carving, there is a small line of 14 characters: "official documents of gentry on the golden Yanqiao bridge in the autumn of the Republic of China". It can be seen that this is a 1920 work. The whole stone carving is of high artistic value because of its vivid shape, excellent workmanship and lifelike characters. It is a rare stone carving of the Republic of China in Huian. There is a wooden plaque on the gate, with four big characters "Lingshan ancient temple" written on it, and a line of small characters beside it, which reads: "the flower of Chaori in the year of Kuiyou in the Republic of China", signed by Shayue of Chongfu temple in Zhuquan. It took more than 20 years from the third year of Xuantong (1911) to the year of Guiyou (1933) of the Republic of China to complete the main hall of Guanyin. It can be seen that it was not easy to create it in that year. In addition to the main hall dedicated to guanyinma, there are also back gardens, stage and other buildings. It is worth mentioning that there is Wenchang temple. The main hall of Wenchang temple dedicated to kuixingye (wuwenchang). On the left side, there is Mr. Wenyuan, and on the right side, there is Mr. Xianggong. There is a pavilion in front of it, which is antique. It was built by Chongwu xiugu when she came to Liancheng temple as Abbot in the period of the Republic of China.

Poetry of celebrities

First, the long poems of Guanyin Pavilion:

There is a long poem with 227 words in the Guanyin Hall: "Lingshan is called Maitreya mountain in ancient times, and the city towers come out of the world. The mountains are open, the land is flat, and the bamboo trees are luxuriant. Xingsheng is a solemn and pure land. It was worshipped by Buddhism at that time. The whole body was present at the Jueyuan meeting, and thousands of incense niches are still ancient today. The sense of the vicissitudes of life has been changing for several years. Green and red pictures are filled with ghosts, not waiting for another day in the world. The building is surrounded by the palace, and the East and the West are matched by the sea. Zhantan Sanskrit method rain flow, lotus bell sound auspicious clouds. The body of gang love seems to be cut, and the place becomes famous because of people's travel. Sometimes I touch the scene and chant the clouds. I came here at the end of autumn, and the monk said the Sutra. Today, I have received what I have seen and heard, and Mahayana has come to know the truth of Samadhi. The Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the Dharma, the wisdom. If you don't see it, the lotus city is blessed with beautiful waters and mountains. In western countries, the view of Fu Tu is free and fragrant. The signature is: Xuantong Xinhai Jiaping Jidan believer Yang Chunjiang Jingti. The author is Yang Chunjiang, a native of Du Cuo, Jingfeng, formerly known as Yang Bitao. He is one of the four scholars of Pu in the late Qing Dynasty. This is the only poem that can be seen in the whole Liancheng temple. Therefore, it is necessary to copy the poem completely to meet the reading needs of lovers.

Second copy:

There are two couplets written by Li Muhan in Wenchang temple. (1) the East China Sea coast, the north coast, the gentle unification, the Xingjing school, the Shengjing school, the same system of three Sheng. (2) If you get it in your heart, you can be regarded as a scholar. Don't forget your articles. There is also a couplet written by Li Muhan on the stone pillars of the pavilion outside the ancestral hall. The first couplet: the East preface, the West Xiang master, Lun Fengyu, and the second couplet: promoting poetry, establishing ceremony, and holding the articles of secular religion. Li Muhan wrote these couplets after the abolition of the imperial examination and the establishment of new schools in the late Qing Dynasty. So the three couplets all wrote about reading, expressing the author's expectation and concern for the new education.

The so-called celebrity poetry is:

The four scholars of Jingfeng are Yang Chunjiang, Jingfeng Ducuo, formerly known as Yang Bitao, Zhou Shiyan of Songcun village, Zeng Bosheng of Donglian qiancuo and Kang Jichen of Shangting

Li Muhan (1876-1947) is a resident of JingZhan town. In his later years, he called himself Qixia old man and a native of Huian Chengguan. He was the 18th grandson of Li Shen and ranked 15th in Yougong in 1903

The two sides of Mazu have the same root and the same origin

In the Republic of China, Liancheng temple also organized a large-scale boat trip to the ancestral temple of Putuo Mountain in Zhoushan to offer incense. At that time, it was received by the open middle gate. As a result, there are many believers and the incense is strong. The temple of King Xiao's residence was also carved out in the village of Tangqi, Beigan Township, Mazu County, Taiwan.

Beigan Township, Mazu County, Taiwan is the second largest island in the Mazu archipelago. In Tangqi village of the island, there is a very spectacular Yufeng xiaowangfu temple, which is a traditional temple architecture in eastern Fujian. The main hall is dedicated to the lotus City Guanyin Buddha. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, in Pusong village of Dongzhou, Huian County, Fujian Province, there were Zhou people who made a living by fishing. Therefore, every year during the peak fishing season, their family moved to Beigan to fish temporarily, and then returned home at the end of the fishing season. Zhou people believe in Guanyin Buddha of Liancheng temple. Every time they want to live in Mazu north pole, they go to Lingshan ancient temple to burn incense and make a wish, and take a incense from Liancheng Buddha mother's censer to North Pole. Year after year, and in 1909, the Zhou people decided to settle in beigantangqi. Zhou ahou and his relatives in Sanfang village of Songcun installed a statue of Buddha in Liancheng in their hometown and took it to the North Pole. From then on, the Buddha mother in Liancheng was worshipped by the local people in Mazu North Pole. In recent years, Mazu Beigan believers have come to Liancheng ancestral temple many times to offer incense
