Ancient wangcong Temple

Guwangcong temple is located in the southwest of Pixian County in the northwest of Chengdu City, 23 kilometers away from Chengdu City. Wangcong ancestral temple, including Nongke village, the birthplace of Chinese "Nongjiale", sandaoyan Town, urban water town, and ancient city site, a national cultural relic protection unit, has become a new tourism hotspot. Wangcong ancestral hall is a cemetery and ancestral hall commemorating the burial of Wangdi and congdi, two famous ancient Shu kings. There are some pavilions such as "daosun tower" and "tingjuan tower" near the water. There are more than 200 ancient cypresses in and around the cemetery. These three characters can be seen as soon as you enter the new gate. The gardens in the ancestral hall are carefully arranged with pavilions and Chi Xie arch bridges in accordance with Wang Di's intention of teaching the people to work in agriculture and Cong Di's intention of governing the water. In particular, the water in the pool is the living water of Minjiang River, which is even more colorful. It is expected that there will be a confrontation between the imperial mausoleum and Cong imperial mausoleum in the imperial mausoleum temple, which can be said to be the oldest imperial mausoleum in Sichuan. The main hall of the ancestral temple, which used to be the statue of Wangdi and congdi, has disappeared. It is said that this is only the sacrificial hall built by later generations to remember them, not the original mausoleum. The second mausoleum is 10 meters high and 205 meters long. There are 207 cypress trees planted in Qing Dynasty. The existing temple was rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty, covering an area of 21 mu. It has been expanded to more than 80 mu. Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival of the lunar calendar, people in the vicinity gather here to hold the "Saige Festival". The song contest is a large-scale event with a large number of participants. The participants are ordinary people, with a strong local flavor and a warm scene. People throw plums on the girl's daughter-in-law at the singing contest. It is said that whoever gets more will get more. Some mother-in-law this day took her daughter-in-law to wangcong temple to pick plums. The origin of wangcong Temple of xiaozhixue was 2700 years ago. At the end of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Wangdi Duyu established the first written capital of Shu, Dujuan City, in Pixian County. Now there are also earthen walls. It is said that emperor Wangdi Du Yu taught the people farming and the Ba people farming. Therefore, in ancient times, people in Sichuan regarded Du Yu as the God of agriculture, and they sacrificed him first for spring farming. In his later years, Du Yu suffered from floods in Chengdu Plain. Bieling, the Prime Minister of Du Yu, "decided Yulei mountain to get rid of water disaster" (Yulei mountain is now the mountain at baopingkou of Dujiangyan). Du Yu abdicated the throne to bieling and retired from the west mountain. In spring, when the people of Shu missed him, they called Zigui bird cuckoo and the first red flower on the mountain in spring cuckoo, saying that Du Yu was urging people to work in spring. Wangdi temple was originally located in Erwang temple in Dujiangyan. Wangcong temple was built in Pixian County in the northern and Southern Dynasties. Zhao Kuangyin granted Li Bing the title of king in the Northern Song Dynasty. Chongde temple was built at Wangdi Temple site to worship Li Bing. It was not until the Yuan Dynasty that Li Bing's father and son were sealed that these two king temples began to follow. According to the book of Shu emperor by Yang Xiong, the second emperor of wangcong, "Du Yu was the king of Yufu, and all his disciples were in PI, that is, the city of cuckoo." About the 6th century BC, Du Yu was the king of Shu, known as Wangdi. At that time, the flood of Minjiang River inundated the Western Sichuan plain. Wangdi ordered bieling, the prime minister, to control the water. Bieling split the Yulei mountain, chiseled out the mouth of the bottle, dredged the water of Minjiang River, changed the flood into water conservancy, and turned the Western sea into a field. This made the Western Sichuan plain from Yufu era to Nongsang era, and laid the foundation for Dujiang Weir project. Wangdi retired from the western mountain after his death It was buried in the south of today's Pixian County, and later built the Cong Di temple. In the Southern Dynasty, the Qi Ming emperor moved Wangdi mausoleum from Guanxian county to congdi temple in Pixian County. There are two mausoleums, which are collectively called wangcong temple. In the early Qing Dynasty, wangcong temple was burned in the chaos of war. During the reign of Daoguang, wangcong temple was rebuilt on the site. In the eighth year of the Republic of China, Xiong Kewu, governor of Sichuan, also appropriated money to build wangcong temple.
