World ancestral temple
Located in Baijiao village, Zhangzhou Taiwan investment zone, Baijiao Tzu Chi palace faces Jiulong River and backs Wenpu mountain. He worshiped the great emperor Baosheng and the famous doctor Wu Xun in the Northern Song Dynasty. In front of Baijiao village, the surging Jiulong River melts into the sea, and the tide rises and falls, gradually forming five harbor forks, becoming the access road for Baijiao fishing boats. When Wu Zhenren was a child, he went with his father Wu Tong to ask for fish in the small sea. Later generations called this harbor "daogonggang". As the tides rise and fall day and night in these five harbors, the tides rise and fall like five dragon whiskers. Later generations called this beach "dragon whisker bay".
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Jingyou Bingzi (1036), Wu Zhenren ascended to heaven. The villagers of Baijiao remembered Wu Zhenren. They raised money to build an nunnery at the place where he practiced before he died, and made a sculpture of Wu Zhenren. He was called "Yiling Zhenren". Because the former nunnery was "Longxu bay", it was named "Longqiu nunnery" (the main hall of the ancestral Palace). Longqiu nunnery was built in the reign of song Jingyou (1036).
In 1150, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty respected the excellent medical skills and noble medical ethics of Wu Xun, a folk doctor. In 1151, Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty announced the establishment of "Yiling Temple" in Baijiao village, jishanli, Mingsheng Township, Tongan County, Quanzhou, where he was born. In 1166, the second year of emperor Xiaozong's Qiandao reign, the temple was given the name of "Tzu Chi".
In the first year of emperor LiZong's Chunyou reign (1241), Tzu Chi temple was changed into Tzu Chi palace. During the reign of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, the front hall was added to become a three entrance palace building, covering an area of 1609.5 square meters. The temple faces south from the north. From south to north, it is the front hall, Dajing, Xiantai, main hall, patio and back hall.
The front hall is a two-story Pavilion, with a single eaves resting on the top of the mountain, covered with red tiles and tubular tiles; there are five gates on the bottom floor, six dragon stone pillars on the porch, and a pair of purple stone lions in front of the gate; there are three wing rooms hanging on the top of the mountain on both sides. On both sides of the second floor are big bells and drums. The patio has a stone sacrificial platform composed of upper and lower xumizuo, engraved with Feitian Yueji and relief of double lions playing ball. On the sacrificial platform, there is a crouching stone lion, which is called "national lioness". On the right forelimb, there is a square seal of Wu, all of which are carved in Song Dynasty.
There is a Longquan well in front of the platform. The main hall, with double eaves on the top of Xieshan mountain, is a single-layer palace structure of red tubular tiles. The platform is 2 meters higher than the front hall, with five rooms wide and three rooms deep. In the middle of Ming Dynasty, there is Ruyi caisson, which is divided into five sections. The second section is made of Pingyao, which is like a proud elephant trunk. The back hall is higher than the main hall, with five sections wide and three sections deep. There is a small patio in front and a bell and Drum Tower on both sides. It is a double eaves Xieshan attic style.

The six stone pillars on the porch of the front hall were presented by Taiwan compatriots when they were rebuilt in the 21st year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty. The four stone pillars of the front porch of the main hall are the buildings left over from the Song Dynasty. There are also two square stone pillars on which are inscribed couplets written in bamboo leaves. The couplets say: "benevolent heart, good method, good prescription for the benefit of the public", "protect our morality, and benefit the people". They are written by the sages. The handwriting is extraordinary and far-reaching.
Baijiao Tzu Chi ancestral palace has a unique layout and magnificent shape. Between the eaves and the wings, famous people's inscriptions and historical stories, as well as stone carvings, wood carvings, murals, scissors and other works of art with the theme of mountains, rivers, animals, flowers and trees are all excellent works, forming a magnificent and magnificent art treasure house, known as the "Minnan Palace Museum".
The Tzu Chi palace of the white reef is the cream of the cultural landscape in Southern Fujian. It is the witness of Taiwan's blood connection with the mainland. In the 15th year of Yongli (1661 AD), Zheng Chenggong, a national hero, crossed the sea from the coast of Southern Fujian to recover Taiwan. Some loyal soldiers specially invited the statue of emperor Baosheng from the "white reef Tzu Chi patriarch" to accompany the army eastward as a protective god. On March 11 of the lunar calendar, they landed safely in jiangjunxi, qianliao, head of Xuejia Town, Tainan, Taiwan.
Later, some loyal soldiers settled here and built "Xuejia Tzu Chi Palace" to worship the statue of "Baosheng emperor". For more than three hundred years, on March 11 every year, all over Taiwan, Baosheng Dadi temples have gathered at Xuejia Tzu Chi palace to hold a large-scale "shangbaijiao" sacrificial ceremony for their ancestors. Nowadays, tens of thousands of good believers from all over Taiwan go to Baijiao Tzu Chi ancestral palace every year.
Over the past 800 years since its founding, the white reef Tzu Chi ancestral palace has undergone several major renovations. All of them are supported by good faith at home and abroad, and are commemorated by Leshi.
Since 1989, the relevant departments of menglonghai city have attached great importance to support and coordination (originally under the jurisdiction of Longhai City). Zhou Dawei, President of the Baosheng Dadi Temple Association in Taiwan, organized to raise more than 1.2 million yuan and 350000 pieces of gold foil for the renovation of the ancestral palace. With the accumulation of the essence of ancient art and the use of modern scientific means, the white reef Tzu Chi ancestral palace has become more splendid.
tourist attraction
In recent years, the white reef Tzu Chi ancestral palace has become a tourist attraction in Zhangzhou Taiwan investment zone, with an endless stream of pilgrims and tourists at home and abroad.
Located in Baijiao village, Zhangzhou Taiwanese Investment Zone, Fujian Province, Baijiao Tzu Chi palace is the ancestral palace dedicated to the medical God Baosheng emperor of Fujian and Taiwan. Since its founding in the 20th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1150), Baijiao Tzu Chi palace has been known as the "Forbidden City" in Southern Fujian for its grand and majestic imperial palace style building scale, antique artistic style, and perennial exuberant incense worship. Today's white reef Tzu Chi palace is a five door three entrance palace style building. The hall is divided into front, middle and back three halls. The front hall is flanked by civil and military courthouses with five doors.
In the middle of the gate, the horizontal plaque of "Tzu Chi's ancestral Palace" is hanging high. The writing style is powerful and powerful. It is the verve work of the famous calligrapher Mr. Qigong. There are several square stone pillars in the corridor in front of the hall. Two bamboo leaf couplets are engraved on the pillars. The couplets are original and lifelike in meaning. They say: "be kind and use magical methods to help the public"; and "protect our morality and benefit the people". On the second floor of the front hall, there is a meeting room in the middle. There are huge bells and drums hanging on both sides. The shape of the bells and drums is simple, and the percussion is loud.
There is a patio between the middle hall and the front hall, for the sake of lighting, and for the sake of increasing the scenery of the temple. There is a well in the patio, which is the remains of the emperor Baosheng Yongquan who drank from the sick when the Tzu Chi palace was expanded. In the middle of the courtyard stands a stone lion with a seal in hand, which is called "national lioness".
It is said that when the great Baosheng emperor became a Taoist and went to the palace to cure empress Wen's breast disease, empress Wen expressed her gratitude and ordered a skillful craftsman to carve a stone lion with the seal of the great Baosheng emperor. She sent someone from the capital to send it to Baijiao Tzu Chi palace. Between the stone lion and the main hall, there is a square sacrificial platform with lively reliefs of "flying Fairy" and "lion playing ball" carved around the rafters.
Place of sacrifice
Sacrificial platform is a place where people from all over the world offer sacrifices when they go to the ancestral palace to offer incense. Stepping into the central hall, both sides of Danlong are paved with light stone, which is not only dignified but also bright. The top cover of the middle hall is a spider web type wooden arch structure, which is not only beautiful and exquisite, but also has unique shock proof function. During the earthquakes in Zhangzhou, Quanzhou Bay and Dongshan Island, the main hall of Tzu Chi palace was safe and sound because of the spider caisson structure on the top of the hall, which is a miracle in the history of architecture. There is a copper censer in the middle of the sacrificial table in front of the statue of emperor Baosheng in the main hall. This is the censer used by Emperor Baosheng in collecting herbs and refining pills. It is thousands of years ago.
The back hall of the Tzu Chi palace is connected with rocks. On the right side stands a huge stone carved with the word "Shou" written by Cang you. Outside the back hall, there is now a garden with elegant environment and pleasant scenery, where visitors can have a rest. Outside the Tzu Chi palace, it is said that in the Song Dynasty, there was a stone city with a circumference of three li, which opened its gates to the East, South, West and North.
Today, although the stone city has disappeared, the old city foundation can still be vaguely found after careful searching. In front of the gate of the Tzu Chi palace, there is also a piece of inscriptions with eroded and indistinct characters. Only the words "Reef City" on the top of the inscriptions can be roughly distinguished. There is also a saying among the people in Baijiao that "with the Imperial Palace and the Imperial Palace,
