Hupao Temple

Brief introduction to the temple

Hupao Dinghui temple, formerly known as Daci Dinghui temple, commonly known as Hupao temple, is located in Daci mountain, hang County, Zhejiang Province. In the 14th year of Yuanhe of Tang Dynasty (819), Huanzhong Zen master Zhuo Xijie nunnery was here. After the song, yuan and Ming Dynasties, it was destroyed and built again and again. It was rebuilt in 1731, destroyed in 1861 and rebuilt in 1867. The original records of the temple were written by Zen master benran Shen in Kangxi, and prefaced by Mao Qiling. They were specially approved. Unfortunately, they were destroyed in the 11th year of Xianfeng. In the 26th year of Guangxu (1896), the abbot shengguangnai compiled a manuscript, including chenen, Jianzhi and Shanshui, each of which is attached with the poems of chanting temples in the past dynasties.

Song Lian, a scholar of the Ming Dynasty, said in the preface to the inscription on tiger running in spring: "in 819 ad, master XingKong came to visit Mount Zishan to enjoy his aura and meditate in it. Find no water and take him away. Suddenly the man of God knelt down and said, "since the teacher came, we have paid a lot of benefits. How can we give up?"? The boy of Nanyue should send two tigers to move, so the teacher is not worried. The next day, fruit see erhu mountain spring, sweet mellow.

History Introduction

As for the origin of hupaoquan, Lin'an Xinzhi also said: in the Tang Dynasty, there was a monk named Kong who lived in dacishan. Because there was no water there, he left. In the night, he had a dream. The immortal told him that there was tongziquan in Hengshan Mountain, Nanyue. You don't have to worry about sending two tigers to move here. The next day, "if you see the two tigers running to make acupoints, the spring will gush out, and the sweet wind is better than the usual." It's a myth, of course. Some people think that the tiger came out of the water after running a circle. The key is that he didn't understand the word "run". In fact, this is related to the ancient and modern meaning of "running". The word "run" is not included in ShuoWenJieZi. In ancient times, the word "run" was "go". For example, Erya explains: "walking slowly means walking, moving fast means moving, and moving fast means walking." The word "walk" here means "run fast". As for the word "run" instead of "walk", it was later. From this point of view, some people explain that the water comes after the tiger runs around, which is obviously wrong. So what's the explanation for the word "run" of "tiger run"? The explanation in the great Chinese dictionary is the most concise: "to climb the ground with feet means to run." From this point of view, it can be explained that two tigers dug out a cave with their claws.

There is also evidence for the explanation of running as climbing and digging. There is a saying in Dong Sigao's poem "tiger running spring" in the Song Dynasty: "the edge of the cliff is firm according to the contract and the claw is hard.". It shows that it is natural for people in Tang and Song Dynasties to understand "running" as climbing and digging. So the ancient meaning of "walking" is running, and the modern meaning is walking. The ancient meaning of "running" is climbing and digging, while the present meaning is running. In this way, the meaning of tiger running is easy to understand. In addition, some people regard the word "planing" as the loan word of "running", and "tiger running" is "tiger planing". That makes sense. However, the mystery of Chinese characters lies in this. Sometimes a magic stroke can give it endless charm.

Zhang Dai wrote in his West Lake dream: the original name of Hupao temple is Dinghui temple, which was built by xingkongshi in the 14th year of the Tang Dynasty. Emperor Xianzong granted the name guangfuyuan. In the eighth year of Dazhong, Daci Temple was changed, and in the third year of Qianfu, the word "Dinghui" was added. It was destroyed at the end of Song Dynasty. In the seventh year of the Yuan Dynasty, Dade was rebuilt. It's destroyed again. In the 14th year of Zhengde of Ming Dynasty, the Zen master Baozhang was rebuilt. It was destroyed in the 19th year of Jiajing. Twenty four years later, sengyongguo in Shanxi was rebuilt. Nowadays, the spring is known as the cloud of the temple. First of all, the master of XingKong was Lu's son of Puban. He got his way from baizhanghai. He came to visit the mountain and enjoyed his aura. Suffering from waterlessness, he wants to move. The dream God man said, "the teacher is not in danger of water. There is Tong Ziquan in Nanyue. You should send two tigers to drive him." Wing day, fruit see two tigers running out of the spring, sweet fragrance. So the master stayed. In the 11th year of Hongwu reign of Ming Dynasty, Song Lian, a bachelor, was in the capital, at the foot of daoshan. The main monk invited lian to watch the spring, and the monks in the temple put on their clothes and held the mantra together. The spring boils out and the snow dances in the air. Lian's heart is different, so as to make an inscription. Good people in the city take tea to cook, and every day they go to Qiandan. There is a water transfer sign in the temple.
