Historical evolution

Daoying (835-902), Cao Dongzong (807-869) and Benji (840-901) were founded in Dongshan and Caoshan of Jiangxi Province respectively. During the reign of Dazhong Xiangfu (1008-1016) in the Northern Song Dynasty, the name of Zhenzong was changed to "Zhenru Temple", which has been practiced ever since. In the Song Dynasty, the successive abbots of Zhenru temple were Qingxi, Daoqi, Yineng, Huizhen, Qihuan, Foyin, Xiaoshun, Zibao, Shouyi, etc., who advocated fayan sect and Yunmen sect successively, followed by Zhangxi, Yuanyou, Peng'an, Yuanwu, Zongzhen, Faru, Wan'an, puyun, Peng'an, fancong, Rushan, YiWeng, Jian, Mengshi, Daian, Xiaoyin, Cizhou, etc They are all representatives of linjizong. In Song Dynasty, Zhenru temple was built on a large scale many times. There were 500 monks at that time. The most distinctive feature of Zhenru temple is that it pays equal attention to agriculture and Zen. According to reports, as early as in the Song Dynasty, abbot Faru Chan advocated that "the coir rainbows stand on the side of the peak, and water the vegetables before the five elders.". It can be seen that Zhenru temple in Song Dynasty had the tradition of paying equal attention to agriculture and Zen. In the Ming Dynasty, master Zhuanyu, the abbot, worked hard and plain with all the monks, and was deeply loved by all the monks. Zhenru temple has more than 3690 mu of mountain forest, rich in fir, moso bamboo, tea, Huangshan pine, chestnut, hawthorn, kiwi, ginseng, polygonatum and other precious medicinal materials, including 136 mu of paddy field, 20 mu of dry land, and 6 mu of vegetable land. In order to protect and manage these mountain forests and land, Zhenru temple has established "Senga forest farm". After the implementation of the rural production responsibility system in 1983, Zhenru temple also contracted paddy fields and dry lands to monks. With the help of the local government, it formulated various rules and regulations for agricultural production, tea production, vegetable production, cattle raising and forest protection, which aroused the enthusiasm of monks in labor. This year, agriculture, forestry and animal husbandry had a good harvest. The temple produces more than 60000 Jin of grain, 300 Jin of tea and more than 200 cubic meters of timber. The temple is self-sufficient in grain and vegetables. At the end of the year, the temple also named 12 model workers, who were commended by the government. Zhenru temple is the first batch of provincial cultural relics protection units announced by Jiangxi Provincial People's Committee in 1957. Around the temple, there are more than 20 ancient monk pagodas. In front of the temple, there are many stone carvings with the words of Buddha seal and Su Dongpo, zhaozhouguan and mingyuehu. There are also unearthed cultural relics from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, Baiguoshu from the Tang Dynasty and qianseng iron pot made in the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty.

On the morning of April 17, 1993, the sunny Yunju mountain in Jiangxi Province was full of spring. On the broad platform in front of the heavenly king hall of Zhenru temple, Tibetan incense is floating and Buddhist music bursts. Zhenru Temple presented tea seedlings to Berlin Temple in Zhaozhou, Hebei Province. The ceremony was held here. After worshiping Buddha and sprinkling, master Yicheng recited French: "willows are sprouting in spring, and Zhaozhou tea is on the Bank of Mingyue lake. In the sky, there are no apricots in the sky Then, on behalf of the permanent members of Zhenru temple, he presented tea seedlings and gingko to master Jinghui, the abbot of Berlin Temple. Master Jinghui immediately delivered a speech. After briefly describing the thousand year legal relationship between Zhaozhou tea and the two ancestral halls, he expressed his deep gratitude to the leaders of Jiangxi Buddhist Association, Zhenru Chan temple and Jiangxi tea house. He also said that he would transplant the tea trees well in Zhaozhou ancestral hall to make the famous Zhaozhou tea reappear and make the thousand year legal relationship between the two ancestral halls play a new role.

Yunju mountain is really like a Pagoda Forest

The Pagoda Forest of Zhenru temple in Yunju mountain, Yongxiu County, which was promoted to the Sixth Batch of "national security", is an ancient architectural complex from Tang Dynasty to modern times, mainly including Zhenru temple and Seng Pagoda Forest. At present, there are 91 Buddhist pagodas with written records. They are the places where eminent monks have passed away for thousands of years. The architectural design of Buddhist pagodas can be regarded as a model of Chinese Buddhist pagodas. Zhenru temple is known as one of the three model temples of Chinese Buddhist altar. After thousands of years of vicissitudes, Yunju mountain is located in the southwest of Yongxiu County, which is also called Lianhua city by local people. In the lotus City, there is a large continuous bamboo forest. At the middle of the mountain, there are many tombs of eminent monks in different styles. In the middle of Bazi is the famous Zen resort Zhenru temple. According to Li, deputy director of Yongxiu cultural relics Institute, Zhenru temple is one of the three model forests of Chinese Buddhism (Zhenru temple in Jiangxi Province, Yongquan temple in Fujian Province and Guanghua temple in Sichuan Province). The plaque of "Zhenru Temple" is hung on the gate of the temple, which was written by Zhao Puchu, former president of China Buddhist Association. Zhenru temple was first built in the Yuanhe period of emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty (806-810). It has a history of nearly 1200 years. It was originally called "Yunju Temple". In 883, master Daoying was invited as abbot. Master Daoying is a descendant of the Dongshan law system of Cao Dongzong, one of the five Chan schools of Buddhism. Zhenru temple is the birthplace of Cao Dongzong, which makes it famous all over the world. In the heyday of Tang and Song Dynasties, Zhenru temple had 48 monasteries and more than 1000 monks, which was rare in China. In the 1008-1016 years of Dazhong Xiangfu period in the Northern Song Dynasty, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty personally granted a plaque of "Zhenru Temple". At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhenru temple was reduced to ashes in a fire. In the early Ming Dynasty, the temples, houses and Hutian mountain products were gradually plundered by local tyrants. By the time of the Ming Dynasty (1457-1464) and the end of Jiajing, the temple declined, and no more than 50 monks lived there. In 1592, the 20th year of Wanli reign of Ming Dynasty, monk Hong Duan, the abbot of Beijing Wanfo hall, went to Yunju mountain to rebuild Zhenru temple. When song Shenzong's mother, Empress Dowager Cisheng, learned of the news, she sent envoys to bestow Buddhist objects such as purple clothes, a bronze statue of Qianhua Lushena Buddha, and a copy of the Tripitaka. In 1602 of the 30th year of Wanli, samarium mengshe was completed. Until the Qing Dynasty, Zhenru temple was prosperous and became an important Buddhist temple in China. In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, the society was in chaos and Zhenru temple was in a dilemma. In 1939, Zhenru temple was burned by the Japanese army, and almost all the monks were disbanded. It has a construction area of about 6700 square meters, more than 50 Buddha statues and more than 120 abbots. After master Xuyun passed away (Shishou was 120 years old), master Xingfu and master Haideng successively served as the abbot of Zhenru temple. In 1982, with funding from the government and funding from Buddhists in Hong Kong, Singapore and other places, the temple of the heavenly king, the hall of the great male, the Sutra collection building, the
