Gushan Temple

Gushan Temple is located in the east of Chaohu City, Anhui Province, on the north side of Hechao Wuhu highway and on Gushan, the hometown of Yafu Fanzeng. When you climb to the top of Gushan Temple, you can see the ancient and prosperous Chaohu City. You can also see the vast Chaohu Lake, where the mountain wind is gentle and the white clouds are like a holy land. Gushan Temple, formerly known as Fuying temple, was built in the Ming Dynasty. The original temple was destroyed in the early days of liberation. In 1986, Gushan, inspired by the late Liu Guocai, afforested the barren mountain for many years and raised funds everywhere to restore Gushan Temple. Because of the shortage of funds at that time, the old man died, so the construction of Gushan Temple was not perfect.

history

Gushan Temple, formerly known as Fuying temple, was built in the Ming Dynasty. The original temple was destroyed in the early days of liberation. In 1986, Gushan, inspired by the late Liu Guocai, afforested the barren mountain for many years and raised funds everywhere to restore Gushan Temple. Because of the shortage of funds at that time, the old man died, so the construction of Gushan Temple was not perfect. In July 1999, at the invitation of Chaohu Buddhist Association and with the consent of the religious Department of the municipal government, master Zhi Wen, former Secretary of Anhui Buddhist Association office, was appointed abbot of Gushan Temple by Anhui Buddhist Association.

At the time of master Zhiwen's taking over, there were only the main hall (the painting was not perfect), and the heavenly king hall. In a short period of four years, we have successively built Guanyin hall, Hakka hall, dizang hall, Jialan hall, jade Buddha Hall, Tibetan Scripture building, abbot building, Dharma hall, Buddha chanting hall and lecture hall, rebuilt Tianwang hall, rebuilt Zhaitang, built dozens of squatters, painted the main hall again, and paved the stone steps in front of Tianwang hall. We invited all the Buddha statues and bought a lot of furniture and necessities.

development

Since Abbot Zhiwen, the construction scale of Gushan Temple has been improved. The planning and construction of the temple are reasonable. It not only has a majestic appearance, but also has a small and delicate decoration and layout. The internal management is in good order, and the financial system and various management systems are sound. The management organization adopts the traditional jungle management mode and democratic centralism management. Deacons at all levels have a clear division of labor and perform their duties. The monks practice as well as Dharma. They go out to the slope in the morning, go to the hall in the afternoon and evening to chant Buddhism. They do their homework in the morning and evening. They go to the hall at two o'clock and recite the precepts on the first and fifth day of junior high school. At present, there are more than 20 monks, more than 20 residents and more than 50 staff in the temple. It has become a jungle temple and a model temple with a certain scale both inside and outside the province.

Gushan Temple was originally named Fuying temple. According to the records of Chaoxian County in Kangxi, fuying'an was built on Gushan Mountain in 1581. Cheng Qin, a resident of the mountain, served as a local drink, jiebaodingjian, ziyongfu, sun Darong, Zeng and sun Yingkun successively rebuilt and cultivated pine and bamboo. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty (1738), the ginkgo tree crown in front of the temple was huge, surrounded by luxuriant pines and bamboos, long trees and hidden temples. There is a deep and pure feeling of "the ancient temple of Zen is hidden in its environment, but the shadow of the monk is not seen and the sound of the monk is heard". At that time, there were three temples, 22 houses, a lot of Buddha fields, and later springs and wells. Because the first monk presided over it, it was renamed Foyin temple, commonly known as Gushan Temple. As time goes by, the temple has gone through many vicissitudes and suffered many wars. During the Anti Japanese War, in order to prevent the New Fourth Army, the Japanese army sent planes to blow up.

In the early days of the liberation, the temple was full of incense and wild pueraria. Only an ancient ginkgo tree with a height of 20 meters and a diameter of more than 2 meters was left as a historical site of the temple and became a navigation mark for the aviation industry of new China. What's more, in 1959, the tree was cut into several sections and stolen by the villagers at the foot of the mountain. It's strange to say that the thief's home was soon burned by fire. Whether it was a coincidence or fate, the villagers have their own opinions.

In 1986, Liu Guocai, a mountain resident, led four disciples of Buddhism in Nanjing, Ma'anshan, Hefei, Chaohu and other places to start afforestation and rebuild temples. After more than ten years of hard work and hard work, a temple with Huizhou architectural characteristics was presented on the site of the ancient temple on the top of Gushan Mountain, with pavilions, pavilions, pavilions, mountain roads, charity hospitals and other gardens and public facilities, which matched and reflected Gushan Temple. Later, with the funding and investment of the government, a circuitous concrete road and a seven story Gushan Lake pagoda stood on the top of the sky The sound of the drum is powerful. The barren mountains and barren hills have created a holy land of Buddhist fairyland.

In 1998, Mr. Guo Xuesheng presided over the daily work of Gushan Scenic Spot and Gushan Temple. Later, he converted to kuandao monk in Taiwan. He was not famous for his merits, but had great virtue. In order to revitalize Gushan Temple, he actively asked the government authorities to hire eminent monks to preside over Gushan Temple. After investigation, led by the government and engaged by the temple, master Shi Zhiwen, a graduate of Baohuashan branch of China Buddhist College in Nanjing and the abbot of huazangjing temple in Laoshan, took over the chair of Gushan Temple on June 16, 1999. Master Shi Zhiwen was elected president of the first Chaohu Buddhist Association in 2002.

Shi Zhiwen presided over the period, with a wide range of knowledge, nature phase Yuanming. Over the past few years, we have purchased 30 mu of mountainous area, built Guanyin hall, dizang hall, rebuilt Daxiong hall, built Sutra building, Fangwen building, chanting hall, Shangke hall, sengliao, Keliao, rebuilt Tianwang hall, Zhong, Gulou, Zhaitang, kitchens and so on. A large-scale and exquisitely carved Royal Temple style temple is inlaid in the waist of Gushan. The antique stone lamp in Fujian conveys the pure and pleasant music of fanbei. The stone lion in front of the door, made by huianding of Minnan, has a cheerful and kind look. It goes up the 109 grade granite stone level, and truly creates a realm of "enjoying the scenery at a glance, accompanying auspicious mood".

The statues of Buddha, Bodhisattva and arhat in the temple are dignified and bright. There is indeed the magic power of "transforming the world into peace and promoting the people to Renshou". Buddhist niches, ritual utensils, offering tables, furnishings, calligraphy and painting antiques, courtyard flowers and grasses, all of them are exquisite artistic reproduction, elegant and chic, which makes people intelligent, enlightened and relaxed. With long cherished good roots, Hua Kai sees Buddha. The golden seal and jade splendor of the Sutra Pavilion should come forever. The reclining Buddha is shining, and the treasure is abundant. Gushan Temple is based on the jungle mode, with clear deacons, solemn moral, rigorous management, sound and standardized financial system. The monks practice and improve like Dharma.
