The most unique feature of Fuchang Pavilion is its inclusiveness. The gods of Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism gather here and go up the steps. There are many caves on both sides of the pavilion foundation, including the God of wealth cave, Laojun cave, Luban cave, Xifo cave, Yaowang cave, luzu cave, Wuwen cave, Chenghuang cave, Hongjun Laozu cave, Tianzun cave, Xuandi cave, Bodhisattva cave, Antarctic Xianweng cave, Huatuo cave, twelve laomu cave, etc. (some of them no longer exist) ）。

Every third day of the third month of the third lunar month, the ancient temple assembly of Fuchang Pavilion is held to worship the ancestor of Fuchang Pavilion. At that time, there will be a large number of merchants, department stores and tens of thousands of people going to the meeting.

temple fair

Temple fairs are held here every year, which is more lively than the Spring Festival. Since the first to fifth day of the third lunar month is the main period of the temple fair, the village cadres of Fuchang village have to rush for the fair after the Spring Festival.

People who love social fire in the village should hold a meeting before the Lantern Festival to discuss the temple fair, which troupe should be invited to sing and which social fire groups should be invited to boost the fun, and make arrangements as soon as possible. The drums, cymbals and other household items in the warehouse were all taken out to bask in the sun. They were all clean and neat, so that they could not be used easily. Even ordinary people have to clean the courtyard, wash rice and grind noodles, and be ready to receive relatives and friends. The God of fortune has a long history, but it is rare now.

Zhang Shouji's the story of Saishen in Fuchang Pavilion in Qing Dynasty once described the grand occasion of Saishen in Fuchang temple fair. This kind of God racing activity is very well organized. In the preparation stage, only the leading figures in the village are allowed to participate, and women must stay away from each other. On the day of Saishen meeting, the sacrificial ceremony was orderly: the Shehuo groups that participated in Saishen must come in four directions, East, West, North and south. The east society extended to Yanshi, the west society extended to Luoning, the South Society extended to Songxian, and the North society extended to Mianchi. Judging from these records, the God of competition in Fuchang has gone beyond the scope of regional culture in Yiyang and become a grand folk festival in western Henan centered on Luoyang.

Temple fair starts on the first day of the third month of the lunar calendar, but the day of Shangshe has to wait until the third day of the third month. At noon on this day, "the four sides of the community advance in the second place", "arrange like a strict array, Zheng (Zheng) Gu Huang (Hu á ng), sonorous Da, bang Xia Lei, roll Qiu Tao, such as ten thousand horses galloping, thousands of troops to the enemy". It means: the four societies of southeast, northwest and North come to the main venue from four directions. The ranks are neat, and the cymbals and drums are in full swing. The earth shaking sound is like the thunder in summer, like the waves in autumn, like the war horses eager to try, like the majestic March of a thousand troops. "The flag has been set up for hundreds of years. Covering the sky, colorful, in full swing ", there are many banners in various societies, this is a big scene. There are also various forms of acrobatics in the grand parade: there are tall wooden piles, young boys and girls in ancient clothes, performing dramas and stories; there are agile teenagers on stilts, marching and performing; there are lion dances, The lion dancers are red bearded in yellow clothes, playing with lions by throwing hydrangeas. There are also dry boats, bamboo horses, stubborn donkeys, clowns, sesame officials and so on. All kinds of people are running and teasing to help laugh and activate the atmosphere.

Appreciative Remarks

Looking up at the still water of Fuchang Pavilion

Fuchang Pavilion is a place that people have to look up to. When I turn around a house, my eyes suddenly light up.

Fuchang Pavilion is towering in front of us in a majestic manner, with layers of flying Pavilion halls and copper bell animal ridges with high eaves, which are pressed down with the air of atmospheric majesty and the air of high diving.

You can only hold your breath step by step, and the closer the distance is, the more you have to look up to it. Fuchang Pavilion makes you lower your posture with this kind of meeting courtesy.

Fuchang Pavilion is located in Fuchang village, 30 kilometers west of Yiyang County. According to the records of the old county annals, Fuchang palace was built here in the Sui Dynasty. The existing buildings began in the Ming Dynasty. They were fully repaired in 1819 and renovated in recent years. The pavilion faces south. The top of the pavilion is covered with yellow and green glazed tiles. In front of the pavilion, there are more than 120 stone steps, which are magnificent.

Up the stairs, the bluestone is steep, standing under the "tianyimen" in breathing. These three words must come from the meaning of "Tian Sheng Shui" in the book of changes, which means to borrow water to prevent fire and pray for peace.

Fuchang Pavilion is on the high side with less water. I'm afraid of fire. Fuchang Pavilion is a Taoist palace. There are more than 30 shrines on the three walls of your platform. They are dedicated to Lu Zu, Hua Tuo, Lao Jun, Lu Ban, Yao Wang, Xi fo and many other gods of Confucianism, Buddhism and Buddhism. On the first and tenth day of each month, incense is blazing and sutras are constantly heard.

Compared with other monasteries and Taoist temples with single religious color, this is a place with "Taoism as the main and eclectic", which shows that Fuchang pavilion has a broad mind.

Your "Yantang study" was built by Song people to assist the state. The original hall is three, which is a rolling shed building in Qing Dynasty, and has four wing rooms, forming a small courtyard. Today, it has been dilapidated for a long time, and only one hall still exists. The horizontal plaque was inscribed by Li Jinxue, a famous calligrapher in Luoyang.

There are more than ten ancient inscriptions on the wall, all of which are the records of the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

It is said that Su Shi, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty, once served as the head of Fuchang county (secretary of the county magistrate). Yantang study is the living and working place of Su Dongpo.

I walked around for two times, but I didn't find any trace. I think Su Dongpo is still a little man in the place where the gods are worshipped.

Standing on a high place, overlooking the vast field, the distance is covered with boundless forest, and all living beings nearby are swaying like ants. At the beginning of the construction of Fuchang Pavilion, it was perhaps just the government's work to serve the power and government. After the vicissitudes, gradually destroyed, gradually reduced to civilian. The common people's constant construction and maintenance are expressing their yearning for a better life and praying for a bumper harvest. Regardless of their different schools, all kinds of gods are worshipped, which means that they are sending their wishes to the hands of all governors. In the rising incense, I don't know whether the gods can see the eyes of the pilgrims.

Every year on the third day of the third month of the lunar calendar, it is the most grand festival in their year, and people pay no less attention to it than the traditional Spring Festival. On this day, Fuchang Pavilion is the busiest time. Red, green and yellow flags are all over Fuchang Pavilion. Drums are clanging and peddling are full of Fuchang Pavilion. People come to offer incense and kowtow. People tie red cloth strips to trees in front of the pavilion.

There is a big stage opposite to the Fuchang Pavilion. The people on the stage play hard, and the people under the stage are happy. The gods sitting in the Fuchang Pavilion will be happy, and they will block back the haze disaster. It's a simple idea of the common people. It's culture. In a word, in the countryside, in Fuchang Pavilion, it's so continuous
