Main scenic spots

FA Hua Yuan

Located at the southern foot of Chishan mountain in the north of Shidao Town, Shandong Province, Chishan fahua temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. It is one of the largest Buddhist temples in Jiaodong in the Tang Dynasty. During the reign of emperor Wuzong of the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism and Taoism were destroyed, and the fahua court in Chishan was destroyed. The Chishan fahua temple, which was rebuilt in 1988, covers an area of 5000 square meters. It is composed of four parts: Daxiong hall, Guanyin hall, dizang Bodhisattva hall and three Buddha Hall. It was opened in 1989 and opened to the outside world. Mr. Zhao Puchu, vice chairman of the National Committee of the Chinese people's Political Consultative Conference and President of the National Buddhist Association, inscribed "Daxiong hall" for the temple.

According to historical records, Chishan fahuayuan was originally built by Zhang baogao, a native of Silla (today's South Korea). In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, Zhang baogao, a native of Silla, enlisted in the Tang Dynasty and served as a young general in the army of Wuning (today's Xuzhou). He had excellent martial arts skills and bravery in fighting, and was deeply loved by the officers and soldiers of the Tang Dynasty. After returning to Silla, he served as ambassador Qinghai. During this period, he actively engaged in trade between China and South Korea, laying a "maritime Silk Road" for the people of China and South Korea, and became a famous maritime trader at that time, known as the "maritime king". In order to protect the prosperity of his shipping business, he came to Chishan to build the first temple and invited monks to chant scriptures. The first group of monks belong to the Tiantai Sect and read the classic fahua Sutra. Therefore, the temple is named "Chishan fahua Temple". Chishan fahua temple was famous in the Tang Dynasty. In its heyday, more than 30 monks lived here. Food and clothing were supplied by Zhang baogao. The temple was full of incense. More than 200 people came here to listen to the Scriptures, which was the heyday of the time.

In June of the fourth year of Kaicheng in Tang Dynasty (839 A.D.), master Yuanren, a Japanese monk, and his party entered the Tang Dynasty to seek Dharma. They lived here for two years and nine months. With the care and support of local officials and monks, they were able to understand the politics, economy, culture, religion, architecture and many other aspects of the Tang Dynasty, and they were able to seek Dharma in the Tang Dynasty. After returning to China, master Yuan Ren never forgot the great harvest of his visit to China. He compiled a book named "pilgrimage to the Tang Dynasty", in which he made a detailed description of Chishan fahua Academy (known as one of the three great travels in the East), which made Chishan fahua academy famous at home and abroad. At the same time, in order to thank the people of Chishan for their deep friendship, Yuan Ren told his disciples to visit xiaoyeshan in Kyoto, Japan Chishan temple was built in the name of Mt.

The reconstructed Chishan fahua courtyard is a Tang style building, which is consistent with the description of master Yuan Ren in his pilgrimage to the Tang Dynasty: "there are rock ridges in the south, water flowing courtyard, flowing from west to East, peaks in the southwest and north as walls, and the sea in the East." Chishan fahuayuan has a long history and is a holy land of friendship among the people of China, South Korea and Japan.

Chishan Mingshen

Chishan Mingshen is also called Chishan Shen. It is said that Mingshen originally came from Hongmen cave in Chishan. Chishan mingshenwei is the God of northern China. It has boundless legal power, protects the countryside, blesses thousands of people, and has boundless merits. In the 28th year of Yingzheng (219 B.C.), the first emperor visited Chengshan to seek the medicine of immortality. When he was seriously ill, Lisi prayed to Mingshen that he would be all right.

In the fifth year of Emperor Gaozong's Xianqing reign (660 A.D.), the Tang government helped the Silla people (today's South Korea) defeat Korea and Baiji and unify the Korean Peninsula. Since then, the Tang and Silla have been very friendly and close. Many Silla people came to the Tang Dynasty to study, be officials, do business, work as coolies, serve as soldiers, work as boatmen, and serve as slaves. Some of them lived in China for a long time, mainly along the southeast coast and the Grand Canal. In particular, there were more Silla people living in chishanpu (today's Shidao Bay), a maritime transportation hub, which was only one sea away from Silla. When the fahua academy preached the Dharma Sutra, "all the believers and benefactors will listen to it. All the old and young are from Silla." In order to manage the people of Silla, we set up a "collusion with Silla". In addition to paying homage to the Buddha and praying for blessing, the Silla also went to the red gate to pay homage to the God of Chishan. Especially before the establishment and after the demolition of the fahua court in Chishan, the main visitors were Chishan God. Chishan God extended kindness to Silla regardless of national boundaries, so Silla people regarded him as their own God. The book "Zhang baogao", compiled by the Ministry of culture of the Republic of Korea, the Department of maritime navigation, and the Korean Academy for the promotion of culture and art in quanluonandao, says: "according to the historical records of the prefecture of Boduo in Kyushu, Japan, the" Silla God "drawn by Yuanren's disciple in the Chishan Buddhist temple in birui mountain, built according to the master's will, is close to Silla worshipped in temples (for example, Weicheng temple and Mitsui Temple) The records of "Daming God" in the Republic of China clearly show that the people of Zhang baogao regarded the "Chishan God" worshipped in the Chishan Buddhist temple of birui mountain in Japan as their own God, the "Silla God". The book also said: "in the prefecture of Boduo, there are many Xinluo people who are engaged in trade. Before that, most of the Xinluo people who settled in Kyushu were also engaged in trade." Zhang baogao's influence on Japan became more and more obvious later. As mentioned earlier, in the temples around birui mountain, the Buddhist temple in Chishan symbolizes the "God of Silla" (the God of Chishan), which protects wealth, brings luck and protects the safety of navigation. It shows that the Silla people and the National Defense Trade fleet organized by Zhang baogao regard the "God of Chishan" as their own God.

In the third year of emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty (838 AD), Yuanren (Master cijue), the leader of Tiantai Sect III in Japan, sent envoys to the Tang Dynasty to seek Dharma for several years, and visited Chishan three times. On his way home, he suffered many calamities in the sea. Fortunately, he showed his spirit and saved hundreds of classics. After Yuanren returned to his country, he worshipped the Ming God of Chishan as the God of Tiantai Sect's protection. Following his will, his disciples built a temple in Kyoto, named "Chishan Buddhist temple". Later, Chishan Ming God was gradually worshipped in Japan and other countries, even in Persia, Dashi and other regions. Up to now, temples in Japan and South Korea still offer sacrifices to akayama Mingshen to bless the world and save the people.

Chishan Temple

It is composed of Yuanren's Hall of seeking Dharma in Tang Dynasty and Chishan Pavilion. The whole temple is built close to the mountain, solemn and majestic, with lush forest and water, pavilions and pavilions.

There are five exhibition halls in Yuanren's Hall of seeking Dharma in Tang Dynasty, which are "heart admiring Buddha ride, bitter sea boat raft, master cijue, pilgrimage of seeking Dharma and success". It mainly shows the development history of Buddhism in Sui and Tang Dynasties, the process of master Yuanren's seeking Dharma in Tang Dynasty and the establishment of Chishan Buddhist temple in Japan after returning home.

Yuanren was born in a spring in 794, so it's called Chunsheng. It's said that there were auspicious clouds in the sky when he was born. After being discovered by the monk of Daci Temple in Ono Township, Shimono Prefecture, Japan, he told monk Guangzhi that they went out with the clouds in a hurry and came to the family of Rensheng head Malu, the head of the post office, who was giving birth to a child in tokino Prefecture. When Chunsheng was five years old, his father joined the rebel army and died. When he was nine years old, his elder brother Qiusheng sent Chunsheng to Guangzhi monk of Daci Temple to study Buddhism. Later, he began to study Tiantai Sect under the guidance of zuicheng, the founder of Tiantai Sect in Japan. Because of his pain
