historical information

In the old Han Dynasty, Liu Bang led his troops to the white mountain, and it was difficult to overcome the enemy's siege for several days. One day, he went down the mountain at night to pray in this temple. After returning to the camp for three days, Guo came to help the soldiers, and then he went to the temple to pay his vows. From then on, the temple and courtyard were prosperous, and there were dozens of Taoists. It is said that in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, the Shijin Hall of Yixiang was defeated and lost money in business. When you pass through it, you can see that Bai mountaineering stretches for hundreds of miles. Among them, the Tianshui of nine mountains flows like the water of Jiulong. After you gather here, you will join the Yuhe river. There is also a remnant site of an ancient temple, which says with a sigh that the temple is destroyed and there is no place to burn incense. If this God can help us to have a good business road, he is willing to rebuild the temple and rebuild the gold body, and then go out of Inner Mongolia. In the following year, with prosperous commerce and rich profits, he came here to repay his vows and rebuild the temple statues. In the temple, there were the hall of the three Qing ancestors, the hall of the Jade Emperor, the hall of the Dragon King, the hall of the empress (Saint baby), the Hall of the horse king, etc. During the cultural revolution, it was destroyed to varying degrees. Later, it was converted into a primary school and occupied by the brigade. Because of years of disrepair, it was destroyed and abandoned.

After rebuilding

In 2005, in Yiyou, Taoist priest Shen gaozhen and his disciples discussed with the village committee to repair the ancient temple. Wei Lian, a righteous scholar of Zuo Yun, and Yuan Mingxiao, together took the lead in gathering believers and donating money to build the temple. After verification and approval by the district and Municipal Bureau of religious affairs, the project was registered and issued with a registration certificate for religious activity sites, and the project was started on an auspicious day in the same year. After six years, the preliminary project of the temple has been completed. With the approval of the religious departments of the district and the city, the Kaiguang ceremony of the statue of God will be held on the first day of the fifth lunar month in 2010.

Since the construction of Qinglong temple in 2005, from 2006 to 2010, it has been rated as a two-star place and a five good place for religious activities by the district Religious Bureau for five consecutive years, and the abbot of Qinglong temple, Taoist priest Shen gaozhen, has been awarded the honorary title of the top ten teaching staff. During the Wenchuan earthquake, believers were actively organized to donate money.

Tianshui scenic spots in Gansu Province

Qinglong temple is located in Tianshui Town, Qinzhou District, on the cliff at the west exit of tietang gorge. This mountain is called Snake Mountain by the local people, and the opposite Taizu mountain is called Xiang mountain by the local people. Snake is a little dragon, so it is called Qinglong temple.

On the left side of Qinglong temple is tianshuiguan, on the right side is tietang gorge, and on the back there are cliffs. Its view is the place of Taoism, when it was first built, there is no text to test. There is a stone cave on the cliff behind the view, which is called mang cave. It is said that there was once a boa constrictor who often haunted here. There are three main halls of Qinglong temple, with the statues of Wuliang patriarch; the East Hall is the Sanguan hall, with the statues of Tianguan, diguan and Shuiguan; the West Hall is the Sanxiao hall, with the statues of Sanxiao empress. The walls on both sides are painted with stories of empress Sanxiao coming out of the cave, Zhao Gongming and burning lamp Buddha, and Prime Minister Bigan returning to heaven. There was a yellow crane tower in Qinglong temple, on which Wu Tianming wrote a couplet: "the South Tianshui is changed to the North Tianshui, and the Yellow Crane Tower is named Huanghe. If the crane goes to the tower to survive, it will only win the war place of the past dynasties; the ancient Hanyang is not the present Hanyang, the Qinglong temple is called Qinglong, and the LongQian temple is in sanqin'an." An Weijun, the "iron man of Longshang", once wrote a couplet: "the Yellow Crane Tower once saw immortals riding cranes, and the Green Dragon Temple saw the mountains and Dragons coming." The gate of Qinglong temple is magnificent with trees in it. Unfortunately, the original gate was destroyed by a fire in 1958. After decades of restoration and reconstruction, the temple has begun to take shape. It has also obtained the help of famous poets to engrave stone tablets, adding a bit of cultural flavor. Every year, March 20 of the lunar calendar is the birthday of Goddess Guanyin. The night before yesterday, red men and green women, decorated with lanterns, came and went in an endless stream on the mountain road. The lantern on the winding mountain road was like a long rolling dragon. During this period, the local people will invite the troupe to sing for four days on the stage of Tianshui town.

The water of the Western Han Dynasty flowing through Qinglong temple is a famous river in Tianshui. It originates from Qishou mountain in Qinzhou District, flows through six counties in Shaanxi and Gansu provinces, and joins Jialing River in Lueyang, Shaanxi Province. This is the birthplace of the pre Qin Dynasty. It is said that Wang Renyu, a poet of the Five Dynasties, once dreamed of washing his internal organs with the water of the Western Han Dynasty when he was young. As a result, he wrote many excellent works handed down to later generations and named his poems Xijiang Ji. Standing in the Qinglong temple, overlooking the water of the Western Han Dynasty, people have endless reverie.
