Historical origin

China filial piety garden is located in Wujin Taihu Bay Tourist Resort, Changzhou City, Jiangsu Province, facing Taihu Lake and back to liaoe mountain, covering an area of more than 860 mu. Relying on the more than 1600 year old liaoe temple, the Park aims at promoting filial piety and features ancestor worship culture and Guanyin culture. It is a comprehensive scenic spot integrating root worship, mountain worship, tourism and awareness education. Zhonghua filial piety garden is the only one in the country to show Guanyin's past life, zhengfaming Tathagata, present life, zhunti Guanyin, and future life, Miaoyin Tathagata. The main scenic spots are zhengfaming hall, cave Guanyin and Miaoyin pagoda.

The hall is 31 meters high and has a building area of about 2190 square meters. It is tall and magnificent. The Buddha of zhengfaming died when he worshipped "three generations of Guanyin" in the hall. Guanyin, a 21.9-meter-high statue of zhunti Guanyin, is the highest indoor sitting statue of Guanyin in China. This statue of Avalokitesvara is meant to be merciful. Avalokitesvara sails back to the world to save all living beings.

At the top of the Chinese filial piety garden, the 11 storey Miaoyin pagoda is the holy land of Miaoyin. In the Miaoyin pagoda, the king Buddha of Gongde mountain in Puguang, namely Miaoyin Tathagata, is worshipped. The Miaoyin world it created is more beautiful than the Western Paradise. In the Miaoyin world, everyone is equal, and every Buddhist name is Miaoyin. Offering Miaoyin Tathagata is the starting point for Buddhists to make their own vows. Only by vowing to become a Buddha and the blessing of Buddha power can we break away from the six samsara and enter the world of Buddhism.

Buddhist culture

The completion of Guanyin temple will add a new cultural landscape to Chang'an District, and will also add rich Buddhist cultural connotation to Chang'an District's creation of a tourism region. According to Zhang Jian's reconstruction of Langshan Guanyin temple, it is said that the temple was first built in the Ming Dynasty, but the date of its Dynasty is not known. The picture attached to the record of langwu mountain in the Ming Dynasty shows the design of Guanyin temple, and the article also records that there is Guanyin temple under haiyueyan. Before the middle of Ming Dynasty, Guanyin Temple had already existed. It is said that the construction of Guanyin Temple began in ancient times when a statue of Guanyin floated on the sea and ended at the foot of the mountain. The local people thought that the spirit was worshipped under the moon rock, and then gradually expanded into the Guanyin temple. Langshan was formed in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty (the ninth year of Tiansheng), and Haipiao Guanyin was earlier than that. Therefore, the formation of Guanyin Temple began in the middle of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Guanyinyuan was rebuilt by Zhang Jian in the early years of the Republic of China. At that time, Zhang Jian was 40 years old and had no son. His wife prayed repeatedly at the guanyinyuan every year and promised that if she had a son, she would write scriptures and make statues. Sure enough, "the son of 1898 (the first month of the 24th year of Guangxu, 1898 AD) Yizu (i.e. Zhang Xiaoruo, who later became the fourth son of the Republic of China together with Sun Ke, yuan Keding and Zhang Xueliang) was born.".

Later, when Zhang Jian built Wushan, he rebuilt Guanyin Temple in 1914. In 1919, after the completion of Zhao's painting and Shen's Embroidery building in Guanyin temple, he invited Taixu, an eminent Buddhist monk, to give lectures here and listened to them in person, which became a good story of Buddhism for a time. In order to welcome Taixu, Zhang Jian presented a poem: "in this life, no matter how old you are, you are going to win the Republic. In the past, sages and sages fought against each other and brothers fought against Shura.

If you feel like a person, your heart will become a mirror. Shitang can arrange Zhang's room to listen to Weimo for dragon and elephant Cuju. " After listening to the Scriptures, Jian wrote in a poem: "if you leave the courtyard and the hall, you will find that Qiao and Lin are green. The waste of the mountain birds, the court flowers send a little fragrance. To love the common customs, we should respect the Buddha and convert to monks. I should be able to listen to the stones beside the altar. "

The lecture hall was built in the 11th year of the Republic of China. It has a double eaves on the top of the mountain. It is surrounded by a corridor and has a xumizuo platform under it. In front of the stone archway, the title of "Lingshan resort" was also written by Zhang Jian (Lingshan is lingjiu mountain according to Sakyamuni). In front of the archway, there are ancient trees, surrounded by Linxi, on which is a stone arch bridge. In the west of the square is Tianzuo mountain house, which was named after tianzuoyan in the later Yang Wu period by Zhang Jian. In the East is WangYan hall, and in the East is Yumei tower. Zhang Jian and Mei Lanfang are good friends and invited Mei to perform in Tongtong. It is said that Mei once lingered here, and Zhang Jian used this name to commemorate him.

When he saw that the people were suffering from the disease, the Bodhisattva Guanyin was very compassionate and gave the elixir to cure the sick. He also taught everyone to do good deeds and accumulate virtue, which will be rewarded in the end. In order to be grateful to Guanyin Bodhisattva, the villagers changed the name of the village to "Guanyin village" (changed to "yinzhai" after the Cultural Revolution). The mountain on which the village depends was named "Guanyin Mountain", and a Guanyin Buddhist temple was built on the mountain to worship Guanyin Bodhisattva day and night. Later, it became the most prosperous Taoist temple of Guanyin Bodhisattva for hundreds of years, and yinzhai was also known as "the village blessed by Guanyin".
