Historical evolution

Huayanding was called Yuhuang Pavilion in ancient times. In 1729 ad, the two monks of Tongrong and Huixian successively expanded into a temple, named huayanding, which was later destroyed and built.

During the reign of Qianlong and Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty, woyun'an saw Chang wenzhenxiu, the successor of Zen master Jianwu, supervising huayandingyuan. Starting from Jiaxu in Jiaqing (1814 AD), he continued to build Linji genealogy under Jianwu, so that his disciples could go to Bashu, Jiangsu, Yungui and other places to study and visit. Finally, he completed 18 works in Daoguang Dingwei (1847 AD), including Yongqing temple, huayandingyuan, Rao temple in Rongxian There are 18 monasteries, including Jiasi temple, juehua temple in Longchang, Guanyin Pavilion in Rongchang and niuhuaxi ancient Buddhist temple. Some people once saw them in Guoxiao Temple of Yongqing temple in the Republic of China, but now they are hard to find.

The original Lotus Temple on the top of Huayan collapsed during the cultural revolution.

According to Buddhism, there are two explanations for the word "Huayan" in Huayan top: one is that the temple is located in the place where thousands of people walk like flowers, so it is called "Huayan"; the other is that "Huayan" means "Huayan Sutra". Therefore, the Sutra is the most excellent classic in Buddhism, and the name of the Sutra is the name of the temple, which shows the solemn meaning of the Buddhist land.
