Introduction to scenic spots

Hell city on the 18th floor of dizang Temple

Along the mountain road, you come to the first landscape of tazigou, the hell city on the 18th floor of dizang hall. The total length of dizang hall is 320 meters, which is divided into upper and lower floors. The hall is mainly for dizang Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva, the king of Tibet, is the Lord of hell. He once made a great wish in front of the Buddha: "if hell is not empty, he will not become a Buddha!" Believers can burn incense before the king of Tibet. There is a statue of Manjusri Bodhisattva above the dizang hall, which was destroyed when the cave was dug in 1951 and restored by Buddhist monks in 2002. Manjusri Bodhisattva is one of the four major Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. He is the head of all Bodhisattvas. He has a high status and is the embodiment of wisdom.

Follow the path beside the king of Tibet, and there is the city of hell on the 18th floor. This is a cave dug by hand in 1951. It is divided into main road and branch road. It has two floors. Inside, there are 1-10 halls of Yama statues and 80 pictures of hell on 18 floors. The hall is gloomy and terrifying, and it is unpredictable.

Walking out of hell city on the 18th floor will make people feel like seeing the sun again. There are six samsara in Buddhism. Good people go to heaven after they die, bad people go to hell after they die, and evil people go to hell after they die. This is also a warning to people to do more good deeds. This is the Dongjing bridge, which was built by sun Lidong, a resident, to facilitate people's worship. There is a cave on the right side of Dongjing bridge, which is called Sanxian cave. The cave is mainly for Huxian, Changxian and Huangxian.

Jiqing Temple

Jiqing temple is the core landscape of tazigou. It was built in the 20th year of Qianlong in Qing Dynasty and was built by the Qing government. Daoguang emperor of the Qing Dynasty wrote a plaque for Jiqing temple. The plaque is a vertical plaque with blue gold characters. There are Mongolian, Han, Tibetan and Manchu characters, and nine golden dragons are carved around it. There are five living Buddhas in Jiqing temple. Luozan Badan jianzan, the fifth living Buddha, was identified by the ninth Panchen master and passed away on October 18, 2006.

Tianwang hall is the first hall to worship Buddha in Jiqing temple. It was damaged during the cultural revolution and was repaired with donations from the residents in 2004. Maitreya Buddha, Bodhisattva Weituo and the four heavenly kings are mainly served in the heavenly king hall. Maitreya Buddha is open chested and smiling. It is said that he was a great monk in the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties. He often carried a big cloth bag, which is also known as the cloth bag monk. When he passed away, he recited: "Maitreya really Maitreya, incarnated in hundreds of billions, always show the time people, the time people do not know.". After Maitreya, this is Bodhisattva Weituo, who is the Dharma protector of the house. On both sides of him are the four heavenly kings. The one who holds the lute is the king of heaven, the one who holds the sword is the king of growth, the one who twines the snake in his hand is the king of Guangmu, the one who holds the umbrella in his right hand and the one who holds the silver rat in his left hand is the king of much hearing.

The right side of the heavenly king hall is the Dharma hall. It is also a Tibetan style building that was restored with donations from the residents. He is the angry phase of Manjusri Bodhisattva. He is extremely powerful and can subdue enemies and obstacles. Look at him. He has nine faces. The center is buffalo face. Each face is decorated with three eyes and five skulls. He has 34 arms and 16 feet.

The main hall is the central hall of Jiqing temple. The first floor is Tibetan architecture, and the second floor and skylight are Han style palace and pavilion architecture. The shape is simple, the wood carving is fine, the color is bright, and the momentum is magnificent. The main hall is built on the basis of the "five five" plan. The temple street map on the front beam is the most complete and clear one preserved in China. During the cultural revolution, the county government prepared to build cinemas and demolish the wood of the main hall. After field research by the designers, it was found that the wood could not be used to transport back, so that the main hall could not be damaged. The main hall is for Sakyamuni, the Buddha. On both sides are Manjusri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva.

On the left side of the main hall and in front of the heavenly king hall, there are two magical ancient trees, which bloom in the middle of May every year. At the beginning, small white flowers are put together into pagoda shape, and the color changes gradually from the center of the flower to the outside until it turns purple and then withers and begins to bear fruit. What kind of tree is this? This tree is called Wendan Pavilion in Mongolian, and its scientific name is Xanthoceras sorbifolia. It is called bodhi tree by Buddhist disciples. So, why is this tree planted in Tibetan Buddhism? It is said that when master zongkaba, the founder of the Gelug Sect of Lamaism, was born, the midwife cut off the umbilical cord, and the umbilical cord blood fell to the ground in the hospital. Soon after, a small tree grew out of the umbilical cord blood, and the small tree grew slowly, blossoming and bearing fruit. Since master zongkaba became a monk in Qinghai Ta'er temple at the age of 6, he never went home. His mother missed him very much and sent a message to him. Because he could not go home to visit his mother, zongkaba asked the painter in the temple to draw a picture for him, sent someone to give it to his mother, and told her: "when you miss me, you can take my picture and sit under the zhandan tree, and you will not miss me." Later, master zongkaba founded the Gelug Sect and became a master of Lamaism. He was also called the second generation Buddha by his disciples. In order to commemorate this event, his disciples took back the fruits of zhandan tree and gave them to the monasteries for cultivation. Today, there are dozens of zhandan trees in Jiqing temple. When they bloom, the scenery is very spectacular, which can be called a great spectacle.

Guanyin pavilion was built in 2002 with the donation of Buddhist monks. It is mainly for four arm Guanyin Bodhisattva, Manjusri Bodhisattva and Vajrayana Bodhisattva.

Cliff statues

On the cliff tens of meters high on the left side of the main hall, a group of cliff statues are carved. To put it simply, cliff is to carve characters on rocks, and statue is to carve statues on rocks. In Fuxin, there are more than 400 cliff statues. There are 13 cliff statues in tazigou. The highest one is 3.2 meters and the smallest one is only 33 cm. Most of them were carved in Daoguang period of Qing Dynasty.

The statue in the middle is master zongkaba. On the left and right sides are his disciples Ke Zhujie and Jia Caojie. This group of statues is also called "three masters and apprentices". Jia Caojie is the first disciple of zongkaba. On the eve of zongkaba's death, he taught him his clothes and hats. After zongkaba's death, he was elected as the abbot of Gandan temple, the main temple of Gelug Sect, and the second Chiba of Gandan temple. Kezhujie is one of the eight disciples of zongkaba. After becoming a monk, he specializes in Buddhist classics and is famous for being good at debating. Before Jia Caojie's death, he sent zongkaba's clothes and hats to Ke Zhujie. After his death, Ke Zhujie served as the abbot of Gandan temple and was later regarded as Panchen I.

Under the "three masters and apprentices", there is a statue of Yama Dharma protector, which is the embodiment of Manjusri's wisdom. In order to subdue Yama, he imitates the image of Yama. You see, he has one side and two arms, his body color is blue and black, buffalo face, wearing a five skull crown, three eyes open mouth, red and yellow hair on the bundle, his right hand up holding the skeleton stick, his left hand stretched out holding the rope, stepping on the buffalo to show the ferocity of subduing the king of hell, there are one person under and in the arms of the buffalo, who is the perpetrator. On the left side of the statue, there are several lines of Mongolian characters, which are hard to recognize because of the wind and sun. The Buddha statue was completed on August 15, the 13th year of the Republic of China. Then, several other cliff statues were carved in the period of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty. Why was this Buddha carved in the period of the Republic of China? It turned out that there was a Gobi Lama in Jiqing temple at that time. He was very casual in the temple and often associated with local bandits. Once, he and the bandits robbed the local official's vehicle. The local official ordered to destroy the bandits, and Gobi was also among them. So he secretly ran back to the temple. After knowing this, the Lama advised him to change from evil to good and become a real monk. When he realized that he had no face to become a monk in the temple, he took out all his money and asked the sculptor to carve the Dharma protector and the statue
