Longyin Temple

Longyin temple, also known as Longwei temple, is a national key cultural relic protection unit in Sichuan Province. It is located on Jiulong Mountain, 980 meters above sea level, in group 2, Nonglin village, Zhuhai town, South Sichuan Bamboo Sea Scenic Area. It is the second peak of South Sichuan Bamboo Sea. In 2003, Shi Zhaowen came to Longyin temple from Baoguang temple in Chengdu for reconstruction at the invitation of Shunan Bamboo Sea administration.

Historical evolution

Longyin temple was built in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty (1573-1620). There were main hall, lower hall and side hall. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, monk Haihui rebuilt it. After all the vicissitudes, it was completely destroyed in 1959. There are still footstones, steps and stone door frames. There is a couplet on the frame: "two trees are inserted into the clouds, the dragon is singing and the tiger is roaring, and the sky is blue and the sky is clear on all sides.".

There are 41 Buddha statues in Longyin temple. In the main hall and the lower hall, there are Amitabha, Weituo, "three Buddhas", eighteen Arhats, Manjusri, Puxian, Guanyin, etc., which are solemn and dignified. They are different from the kind and quiet Buddha statues in general temples. According to the research of experts from the Sichuan Provincial Cultural Department and the Museum of history, they are similar to those in Tibet. On both sides of the Luohan, or sit or lean, or laugh or think, form thousands of. In the front hall, back hall and two Langfang, there are statues of Amitabha, Guanyin, weituotian and linggong. In the side hall, there are statues of Lingguan, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. These dignified and compassionate stone carvings are exquisitely carved, with appropriate clothing patterns, smooth lines, vivid shapes, and full of flavor of life.

Longyin temple stone carving was listed as the fourth batch of provincial cultural relics protection units by Sichuan Provincial People's Government in 1996.

There is a Sleeping Buddha cave on the hillside under the back Mountain Gate of Longyin temple. The stone Buddha in the cave lies horizontally. The date and month of its carving and why it was carved on the hillside still need further exploration and research.

In front of the temple, you can see the mountains of Changning and the rivers of Nanxi. Two kilometers south of the temple, there is tiantiangong site. It is covered with bamboo forest, stained with brick, stone and moss, and crisscross with wild vines.

The ancient Buddha Hall, the jushilin and the vegetarian restaurant are scattered on the top of the cliff on the north side. The stele Pavilion stands on the top of the Jiulong peak. The pavilion, the hall, the hall and the pavilion are connected by a long corridor. Looking from the north, it looks like Jiulong takes off.

The upper guest hall and other buildings are well arranged in the green of the ecological parking lot. They are in harmony with the majestic Kowloon sign, the Shangshan Avenue and the memorial archways built from the bottom to the top, such as the Jiulong sea.

The three corridors and two pavilions on Youshan Avenue, 2000 meters west of jiguanling, and the ingenious and autocratic art sculptures with bamboo culture and dragon culture as the theme, are perfectly matched, adding infinite charm to the magnificent, such as the flashing of Jiulong pearl.

Wang III Buddha, with his chest straight, half naked, eyes looking straight down, looks solemn and solemn, majestic and strong, sits on the tall xumizuo, while the load-bearing xumizuo is raised by a number of small gods who are frowning and staring and bending their legs. The images of the small gods are vivid and lifelike, as if they can hear their panting and groaning. The eighteen Arhats are listed around the Great Buddha, and they are created The type is only loose, dazzling, vivid and humorous; the Dharma protector Weituo is wearing armor, majestic, fierce and rugged, which makes people afraid; the Guanyin is dressed with smooth lines, folded clothes and folds floating in the wind, which makes him slim, drunk, affectionate and lifelike; the ancestors of Sakyamuni, Laojun and Confucius sit on the same Buddha platform, as if in harmony Ji is talking about the essence of the universe. The round stone sculptures are vivid in shape, delicate in carving and rich in expression, which are of high ornamental value.

The 16 stone inscriptions record the historical evolution, vicissitudes, rise and fall of Longyin temple, which has high historical value. They reflect the political, economic situation, religious culture and the rise and fall of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism since the Tang Dynasty. They also reflect the historical background of the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism and the worship and belief of the people in Zhuhai.

In August 1982, Yibin district administrative office announced it as a cultural relic protection unit. In 1996, Sichuan Provincial People's government announced it as a provincial cultural relic protection unit. This group of thousand year old temples has gone through ups and downs, temples have been destroyed, and stone carvings still exist. It is a nation hidden from green bamboo, and has high historical value, artistic value and tourism value. With the vigorous development of tourism in southern Sichuan, the bamboo sea calls for the excavation of the millennium history and culture. In the 1990s, experts from the cultural and historical circles and museums of Sichuan province came for many times to investigate and field work, and gave them high evaluation.
