Kangwang Temple

Kangwang Temple

The Kangwang temple in dachikan was founded at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. It was built in the signboard enclosure of dachikan, covering an area of less than 100 square meters. Although the temple is small, it is full of incense. Villagers from neighboring villages came to worship king kangzhenjun, such as dongxijiaokou, Liuxiang, Fanzhou and so on. Every day, thousands of streams flow one after another, offering sacrifices to the king of Kang. Everyone always asks the king of Kang to bless him with good weather and abundant grain. There was no end to incense and firecrackers. Because the temple was too small, there were too many worshippers and it was too crowded. For the convenience of the villagers, they moved back to the village at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to build temples in the sandy land of dachikan and dachongwei. After several historical migrations and enthusiastic donations from the villagers, it is now rebuilt at the Huangyang Bajing stele near the east station of dachikan village, Doumen district.

Inscriptions in the temple

A brief introduction to the temple of King Kang and the real king of King Kang

Zhao Honghui

If we want to talk about the brief history of Kangwang temple, we should find out how sacred it should be. As far as I know, what the temple worships is the real king of Kang, marshal Kang.

Kang Baoyi: born in Song Dynasty in Luoyang, Henan Province, was born in Jiangmen. His grandfather, Kang Zhizhong, died in the battle against Bianliang. His father's name was Q ú. In 997 ad, he served as commander of Longjie in the Northern Song Dynasty. He made great achievements in resisting Liao Dynasty. Bao was kind-hearted since childhood. He never wanted to hurt or kill animals. He never abused the orphans or trampled on the living beings. Once there was a young duck, which was injured by the insect and fell to the ground with its broken wing. Baoyijianzhi took it home to feed it and let it go back to nature after it was healed. Since he was born in a general family, he has been good at learning martial arts since he was young. He is good at riding and pulling bows. He has been able to walk in a hundred steps and fly away in a flying boat. Try to hold the arrow 30, lead full to shoot, and the Ku (KU) surge connected and fall, people admire its wonderful. He is polite and kind to his guests.

His grandfather Zhizhong, later Tang changxingzhong, died in the battle for the king. His father Kangqu was the commander of Longjie. He recruited Li Yun from Taizu and died in the army. The emperor of Zhenzong ordered him to take over his father's post and break Zezhou from Shi Shouxin. Next year, we will attack Guangyang in Hedong and win more than 1000 people. In Kaibao, the generals broke Khitan in Shiling pass, moved to yuhou, the capital of riding, and turned to the commander of Longwei to lead the governor of Dengzhou. At the beginning of Duangong period, Zizhou regiment training envoys were granted and moved to Dingzhou, where Tianxiong army was stationed. When he found daizhou, moved to Shenzhou, and moved to gaoyangguan, the Deputy capital was deployed. Then he added a bodyguard, marquis Yu, to lead the Liangzhou observation envoy. Zhenzong ascended the throne, called back, with his mother's diligent support, gave the above bottles of wine, tea and rice, Russia led the Zhangguo army to save time, went out for the deployment of Dai Du, moved zhiyaoxiong army, asked to stay on behalf of the petition, and ordered him to return to the deployment of Gaoyang Guan Du.

(1004) the Khitan army entered, and the generals fought with each other in Hejian, where the elite were selected by the Baoyi people. At the end of the meeting, we will fight together. In the late Ming Dynasty, the number of Khitan Wai was heavy. He urged Yi Jia to rush out, and Bao Yi said, "there is no escape in the face of adversity." So a decisive battle was launched to kill a large number of soldiers. He died when he could not help him.

In this battle, Bao was seriously injured, with 70 war wounds on his body. It is said that "the duck is saved with the perennial grass to repay the benefactor and make the Bao clan recover.". There is also a legend: "Bao Yi was seriously injured and the spirit came out of the body.". Lu Xiong, commander of the Liao army, put Baoyi Yuanshen into the shell of Pulu melon, closed it with a cover, and fell into the river to drift with the current. I met a group of ducks looking for food in the beach and threw away the cover of the melon shell. The original God of Bao clan attached himself again, recovered and defeated the Liao army. Therefore, Baoyi regarded duck as a kind of life-saving.

After that, the Khitan army made a comeback. Kangbao and Khitan fought in a bloody battle for two days. The dust of the ground was two feet deep. In the end, the reinforcements were not enough, and the troops were exhausted. The Bao clan was covered by the enemy, and the general was killed by the enemy. He was also killed in the battle. The emperor Zhenzong was very sad to hear this. After not going to court for two days, he was granted the title of "Bao Yi" as a servant.

Because Zhenzong respected Taoism very much, and Emperor qinzong and Emperor Huizong worshiped Taoism more, they named Baoyi "King kangzhenjun", and proposed to set up temples to worship loyal minister - King kangzhenjun (kangbaoyi), which was more popular in Gaozong of Southern Song Dynasty, and vigorously advocated Buddhism.

However, many people mistakenly believe that the king of Kang worshipped in the temple is Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Southern Song Dynasty. In fact, at that time, Emperor qinzong and Emperor Huizong were captured by the state of Jin. Zhao Gou himself was sent to the Jin Dynasty as a prince to discuss peace, and was taken hostage to Jinying. One day, Prince Jin invited Zhao Gou to hunt together. Zhao Gou fired three arrows in a row, all of which hit the prey. Prince Jin returns the matter to his master. The king believed that both emperor qinzong and Huizong were incompetent. How could there be such a powerful king of Kang? This is someone else pretending to be Zhao Gou, so he expelled him. After Zhao gouhuang was released, he ran like a bird out of the cage. At night, I was tired and sleepy. I was sleeping soundly in the temple of Cui Fu Jun. suddenly, I saw an old man with white beard floating in from outside the temple and said to him, "the Jin people know that you are the king of true Kang. They sent troops to chase you. You should leave as soon as you can, so that your horses are ready. "

Zhao Gou woke up with a start. When he was wondering, he vaguely heard the sound of horses galloping in the distance. He rushed out of the temple gate and saw a big horse standing at the gate. Without thinking, jump on the horse, the horse is running south. A big river in front of him stopped him, and his pursuers were coming. He drove his horse westward, and his horse leaped like an arrow. After crossing the river, the horse stood still on the South Bank of the river. Zhao Gou saw it as the mud horse in front of the temple gate. After that, it was said that nimadu was the king of Kang. Therefore, it is mistaken that the king of Kang in the temple is Zhao Gou. As a matter of fact, Zhao Gou was the emperor of Gaozong in the Southern Song Dynasty. The temple is dedicated to the true king of Kangbao. I hope that future generations will not misunderstand this.

After a clear explanation, we must come back to introduce when and how the temple was built.

The question should be answered: Zhenzong, qinzong, Huizong, huangzun Dao. However, it is suggested that the people should respect and worship the loyal ministers and righteous men who are loyal to the liver and courage, and build temples for the loyal ministers and Kangbao descendants who sacrifice their bodies for the country. In this regard, Kangwang temples have been built all over the country, such as Guangzhou, Chaozhou, Nanxiong, etc.

Moreover, in 1250, Zhao Shifei entered dachikan to avoid the pursuit of the yuan army. He was also an official of the Southern Song Dynasty. He had a deep influence on the construction of the temple of King Kang. Therefore, after the stability of life, we should build a temple for the king of Kang, the loyal minister of the Song Dynasty.

As for when the Kangwang temple in dachikan was built, it can be said that it was built at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. Built in dachikan signboard Wai, covering an area of less than 100 square meters. Although the temple is small, it is full of incense. Villagers from neighboring villages came to worship king kangzhenjun, such as dongxijiaokou, Liuxiang, Fanzhou and so on. Every day, thousands of streams flow one after another, offering sacrifices to the king of Kang. Everyone always asks the king of Kang to bless him with good weather and abundant grain. There was no end to incense and firecrackers. Because the temple was too small, there were too many worshippers and it was too crowded. For the convenience of the villagers, they moved back to the village at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to build temples in the sandy land of dachikan and dachongwei. After the migration, the weather in dachikan village was more favorable, and people and animals were more prosperous. There are more worshippers from outside, and the incense is more prosperous than before. Therefore, Xinhui Dasha organized villagers to steal and exchange King Kang Zhenjun of the Kangwang temple in dachikan. At that time, Miao Zhu of King Kang temple was the abbot of Zhao Yuyi, so Zhenjun of King Kang reported his dream to Zhao Yuyi at night. After knowing this, Zhenjun of King Kang came back.

Therefore, in 1403 (the year of Yongle and Guiwei in Ming Dynasty), he moved to dazhali (where the village committee office building is now located). At this time, there were two temples in succession, each with 21 rows in the middle and 13 rows (10.48 meters) in width, with a large patio between the front and back. In the East, there are also attached rooms for temple administrators or village personnel meeting. In the west, an attached room was set up for the tillers in Chikan. According to statistics, the Kangwang temple covers an area of more than 800 square meters. There is also a large space in front of the gate, which is used for festival, entertainment orchid and Cantonese opera. At that time, the Kangwang temple was more prosperous than before. In addition, the temple had temple property, and the village designated that the money from the annual recruitment of hechongbu and Yabu in the whole sand area should be returned to the Kangwang temple for revenue and expenditure.

After liberation, during the cultural revolution, in order to break through the four old and establish the four new, the village cadres of dachikan made the Kangwang Temple complete
