Changchun nunnery

Changchun nunnery, formerly known as Guanyin nunnery, is located in Changchun nunnery, Tuchengzi village, sanjianbao street, Lushunkou District, Dalian city. It was built in the early Ming Dynasty and located in the east of the mountain. It is the residence of futu family. Sun Baotian's "Lu Da Wen Xue Zheng Cun" Volume II historical sites: "Changchun nunnery, in the sun of the south mountain of sanjianpu, has an old Bixia palace. There is no research on the origin of the nunnery. In the nunnery, there are inscriptions on the year of Yongle (1403-1424) of the Ming Dynasty." According to Wang Youyi's preface to the newly built Taishan temple and stele of Changchun nunnery in 1728 of Yongzheng's sixth year: "looking back to the beginning of Jue Dynasty, since the ding of gaiming Dynasty, Si nunnery has been well-known for a long time, and it has been handed down for more than 300 years. It's only Guanyin Cao nunnery before." According to the inscriptions and historical records, Changchun nunnery was founded in the Ming Dynasty. According to the historical records, there are inscriptions in the year of Yongle. In the inscriptions, Guanyin nunnery was built in the early Ming Dynasty, which is three hundred and twenty-three years from the sixth year of Yongzheng. The two records are the same. Changchun nunnery was built on the basis of Guanyin nunnery. It is also said that the village's old nunnery is only eight feet square. According to sun Baotian, the inscription of Yongle year has not been recorded.

Scenic spot description

There is Zhaoshan mountain in front of Changchun nunnery, with its back on Danshan mountain. (Sun Baotian called this mountain Nanshan in the collection of LvDa documents, but the old people in the village all said it was Danshan mountain.) This mountain is a turtle shape from northeast to southwest. According to Wang Youyi's preface to the newly built Taishan temple and stele erection in Changchun nunnery, "those who live here depend on the Yellow Crowned feathered people and the forest. They are close to the misty Yunshan mountain and far away from the Bohai Sea. They can't help but say with a sigh: is there no holy palace in Anke So under the turtle head, he chose a place to move to Guanyin Cao'an and changed it to Changchun'an. According to Qiao Dexiu's local chronicles of Nanjin mountains, rivers and islands, "the mountains of Nanjin originate from Changbai Mountain in Jilin Province, with two branches meandering southward. One branch is white and hard, the other is green and soft, and the other is dry. It meanders to Lushunkou and crosses the sea to Shandong, forming the peaks of taidai." Cong and Lin Xian died in the second year of Yongzheng period. At this time, there was only Cihang Hall (Bodhisattva Hall) in the nunnery. In the sixth year of Yongzheng period, the Taishan hall was built by Zhang Degui and Cong Deju.

After the implementation of the religious policy, on July 11, 1985, the Dalian Municipal People's government designated Changchun nunnery as a municipal cultural relics protection unit. Mr. Zhang Benyi, who was then the head of the municipal cultural administration department, raised funds to repair the nunnery. The steles of the cultural relics protection unit are still in the temple. In 1991, the government of Lushunkou District restored the nunnery. Later, the nunnery was transferred from the district government to the enterprise. The last renovation was in 2007. The two halls and cloisters of the east courtyard were expanded, but they were not engaged in religious activities. They have been abandoned to this day. In July of the second Guisi in the year of 2013, Jiaqing, Prince of another Huoju road in Lushunkou District, thought of his old relationship with Lin Cong Lianshi and bought this temple. He urged the 19th generation of Shangzhi Xiaguang Lianshi, abbot of Huashan sect in Quanzhen, to come here. Changchun nunnery returned to Huashan sect in Quanzhen. With the approval of the government, Shengan is still the name of Changchun. Wang Jiaqing is the tenth generation descendant of Huoju road of Huashan sect in Quanzhen of Tieshan, Lushun. His ancestor crossed the sea to Guandong with Lin Cong Lianshi in the 40th year of Kangxi, and built Guandi temple in Tieshan to continue the road vein. Up to now, this Huoju road still has the related emperor temple, and the descendants still live in the temple, which is the earliest recorded Huoju road vein of Huashan sect.

Today, there are three halls of Mount Tai, Cihang and Lingguan in Changchun nunnery. Mount Tai is the main hall. There are nine golden statues in the hall. The main god is Bixia Yuanjun. The walls are covered with murals. The clouds are full of auspicious clouds, and the fairies are sitting on colorful phoenixes. They are leisurely, serene and lifelike. On the left front of the hall gate stands a stone tablet named "preface to the new Taishan hall and stele erection of Changchun nunnery" in the sixth year of Yongzheng reign. The inscription describes the process of the establishment of Taishan hall and the four arrival of Changchun nunnery, and the inscription on the tablet inscribes a list of the merits and virtues of the donors. Ten steps in front of the monument, there is a Bell Pavilion with an iron bell hanging inside. There is a incense paper incinerator in front of the right side of the hall gate, and a stone tablet facing east is set up. On the forehead of the stone tablet is engraved with the word "eternal fragrance", which was erected in the 27th year of the Qing Dynasty when the temple was rebuilt. According to Zhang Guangfu, the village elder, there is a stone tablet in this temple. During the four Qing Dynasty (1963-1966), an orchard was built in the village. The stone tablet was ground flat and engraved with the word "four Qing Dynasty orchard" standing in the orchard. Today, the orchard is missing, but the stone tablet is still standing on the side of the road hundreds of steps east of An'an. There are five statues in Cihang hall, the Buddha in the middle, the Guanyin Bodhisattva on the left and the dizang Bodhisattva on the right. There are murals on the walls, of which the murals on the west wall were left by the restoration in the 27th year of Daoguang. This nunnery is a rare temple for both Buddhists and Taoists. Lingguan hall is located in the front of Taishan hall. Inside it are two statues of Dharma protectors. The four corners under the eaves of the hall are engraved with the words "I steam and taste everything." steaming and tasting "originally refers to the two sacrifices in autumn and winter, and later generally refers to sacrifice. Autumn means tasting, and winter means steaming. In the romance of the Three Kingdoms, Kong Ming sacrifices Zhou Gongjin:" if you have spirit, you can enjoy my steaming and tasting. " The two doors are engraved with the four words "heart without two thoughts, holy solution to all emotions". This hall has a profound meaning.

After master Lianshi, King Zhiguang, took charge of the nunnery, he changed the Bodhisattva hall to Cihang hall and moved the temple to the earth outside the southeast wall of the nunnery. The prince Jiaqing rebuilt the walls, built the mountain gate and built the flagpole in front of the tree. Living facilities such as kitchen, warehouse, Zhaitang and danfang were built in the east of the temple, and the original building was transformed to make the palace a new one. Now the green grass is everywhere in the nunnery, the trees are shady, and several ancient buildings are hidden among the trees, so the environment is quiet. It is not only the place where the four believers worship devoutly, but also the place where the Xiayou of the feathered men are quiet and refined.

history

In the 44th year of Kangxi (1705), the dolomite Taoist conghelin crossed the sea to live in the Zhenwu Temple of sanjianbao. Later, he moved the abandoned Guanyin Caoan to the present place in an village of Changchun. The temple was named Changchun, and the Taishan temple was planned to be built. According to the epitaph of Cong Dao, the benefactor of Changchun nunnery, which was first built in 1724 of Yongzheng reign, Cong Helin was born in Wendeng county. When he was young, he entered Xuanmen, and when he was long, he would move and build. He had traveled for more than 24 years. In 1701 of the 40th year of Kangxi reign, he came to shanjianpu and supported Zhenwu temple. He was a white handed man who worked as a farmer in Zhuangzhuang. In 1709, he was ugly. Fang Bu lived here, and his name was Zhaoxi Changchun nunnery. " The reason for this mistake in the epitaph is that he Lincong Lian Shi crossed the sea from the mountain to the East in the 44th year of Kangxi, and the time when he moved Guanyin Cao'an to Changchun'an was the 48th year of Kangxi We need more money.

After Zhang Degui and Cong Deju, the nunnery was the abbot of Liu Wenwen, sun Zhengan and Liu Zhengkuan. At this time, Changchun nunnery was still the residence of Qing Dynasty. In the early years of Yongzheng (1723), Zhang Shixian, the ancestor of the surname Zhang, moved from Rongcheng County, Shandong Province (Weihai, Shandong Province) to Hongjia village of sanjianbao to settle down. His son Zhang Youzhen moved to anzuo because the three generations of abbots in Anzhong were his uncle. After Liu Wenwen, sun Zhengan and Liu Zhengkuan, Zhang Youzhen was the abbot of Changchun nunnery. He was named Zhang Benyu by the legal name. He was the 15th generation disciple of Huashan sect in Quanzhen. Qingju road was changed into Huoju road. Since then, Chang Chun nunnery has been handed down from generation to generation by Zhang's descendants. Their descendants settled near Chang Chun nunnery and gradually became a village. The village was named Chang Chun nunnery because of the nunnery.

Liu Wenwen, sun Zhengan, and Liu Zhengkuan, the third generation disciples of Changchun nunnery, did not have any disciples to continue their Daoism. Just at this time, Zhang Youzhen, who had a family, moved here from Hongjia village of sanrunbao. In order to continue their Daoism, he had to entrust Changchun nunnery to him. After their death, Zhang Youzhen naturally inherited the temple, but because of his family, he lived in a fire house, which made the Daoism of Changchun nunnery survive Continued. According to the calculation of time, He Lin Cong Lian Shi passed away in the second year of Yongzheng, and then Zhang Degui and Cong Deju successively took charge of Changchun an. The second generation of the abbot of Changchun an should be about 50 years, while there were 13 years in Yongzheng Dynasty. The third generation of the abbot of Changchun an should be 30 years after Qianlong, and then three people successively took charge of Changchun an. For another 50 years, Zhang Benyu took charge of Changchun an after 10 years of Jiaqing After. Zhang Benyu actually has four sons: his eldest son, Zhang Kexing, his second son, Zhang Keguan, his third son, Zhang Kexue, and his fourth son, Zhang Kejiu. The inscription of the stele of rebuilding Changchun nunnery in the 27th year of Daoguang (1847) in the temple is "Abbot Zhang Ren □, Zhang Renlu". From this, we may get three information: first, Zhang Benyu has at least two sons, two of whom inherited the temple. Second, the temple was rebuilt in the 27th year of Daoguang. It should be a short time for two people to live in the temple. It can be seen that Zhang Benyu lived in the temple for nearly 40 years until 20 years after Daoguang. Third, after Zhang inherited the temple, at least in the second generation, Taoists still used Huashan school. Huoju Taoist has two identities, one is Taoist and the other is layman. They should have two names, one is Taoist name and the other is common name. Just like Zhang Benyu's common name Zhang Youzhen, the people living in Qing Dynasty no longer use common name as soon as they leave the world of mortals, but Huoju people use both names at the same time because of their dual identities. In order to keep the Taoist vein alive, the abbot took the unusual method in the unusual period.

In 1847, Zhang's descendants rebuilt Changchun nunnery again. According to the stele of rebuilding Changchun nunnery, there was an old Taishan palace in the southwest township of Jinzhou, which protected one side and responded to Pi Xian. East nine temple, West Bodhisattva hall, in front of Weiran palace, the cave is vast and resplendent. " It can be seen that Taishan hall is the main hall of this nunnery. There is a nine Saint temple on the left and a Bodhisattva temple on the right. Bodhisattva hall is today's Cihang hall, but there is no trace of the nine Saint temple. According to research, the nine Saint temple is only a small earth Temple in the east of the nunnery. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the children and grandchildren of the Zhang family flourished and gradually developed outside the an village in Changchun. A group of people came to the Henan coast
