Historical evolution

Zhengyi temple is the symbol of Zhengyi ancestral court.

During the reign of emperor Hanhe, after Zhang Daoling and his disciple Wang Changyou came to Poyang, they went back to Xinjiang to build a thatched cottage and refine the "nine heavenly elixirs" to start Taoism and become the originator of Chinese Taoism. Zhang Sheng, the fourth generation of Tianshi, was born in the Huilong Hushan area of Sichuan Province. His father ordered him to "preach the ancestral religion forever and pass it on to the world" and set up a temple to worship his ancestors. Since then, the heavenly masters of the past dynasties have opened an altar here to teach, and Longhushan has become the first communication center of religion in the country and even in the world. There are many kinds of temples and monasteries on a large scale, and the Zhengyi Temple of Longhushan has become the "Yuren kingdom of eternal brightness day and night".

The earliest name of Yiguan temple is zutianshi temple, which was built by the fourth generation Tianshi Zhang Sheng from Huilong Hushan, Sichuan Province, to offer sacrifices to zutianshi. At the same time, Tianshi Zhangsheng also restored the former site of the ancestral Tianshi Xuantan and Danzao, and lived here. Every year during the Sanyuan Festival, more than 1000 people from all over the world came here to learn Taoism. Since then, there have been numerous temples and Taoist priests.

During the reign of Tang Tianbao (724-755), Taoist Wu Yun vividly described the scene here with a poem "dragon and Tiger Mountain": "Taoist wearing fish and hyena clothes, flying towards the sun and the sky. The moon is bright in the dragon and tiger mountain, and the jade palace and Pearl Tower are empty and green. "

Repair of past dynasties

Since the temple was built by Zhang Sheng at the end of the Han Dynasty, it has been repaired and rebuilt many times, and its name has been changed many times.

In 950, the eighth year of Baoda in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Chen Qiao, the academician of the Imperial Academy, built the Tianshi temple to commemorate.

In the first year of song Yuanyou (1086), Zhang Dunfu, the master of heaven of the twenty-eight dynasties, rebuilt it. "The view of performing method" is given.

In 1271, Zhang Zongyan, the master of the thirty-six dynasties, rebuilt his palace.

In the 32nd year of Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1553), the imperial edict was revised as "ZHENGYIGUAN".

In the seventh year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1579), Yang Hui, the eunuch of the imperial court, repaired it. In the thirty ninth year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1611), Zhang Guoxiang, the master of heaven of the fifty dynasties, restored it, just like the old system. It is the main hall of five, in the worship of the ancestors of heaven and Wang Chang, Yuesheng two real people, are bath gold bronze statue; after the hall for the Jade Emperor hall and Dan room and kitchen, bathroom.

In 1623, Emperor zongtianqi of the Ming Dynasty was restored, and in 1713, Emperor Kangxi's 52nd year, the Yuhuang hall was rebuilt. In the ninth year of Yongzheng (1731), the imperial court sent officials to rebuild it, and ordered Zhang Shaolin, the 56 generation master of heaven, to cooperate with it. After several months, it was completed. The Zhengyi temple built this time has five main halls, double eaves Danying, Tongbi glazed tiles, ten Eastern and Western Zhou verandas, surrounded by Zhulan, three Yuantan halls in the East verandah, three Congsi halls in the West verandah, and three Yimen halls. Below the steps are the bell tower and the drum tower. Moreover, all the halls, buildings, doors, verandahs, beams and buildings are decorated with colorful paintings, which is magnificent. The middle forehead of the main gate is "ZHENGYIGUAN". The gate of the que is made of red lacquer and copper. There are two tall flagpoles outside the gate. From the gate of the que to the corridor and steps in front of the building, they are all made of huge stones.

In 1815, Zhang Yu, the 59 generation master of heaven, borrowed public funds to repair the old system. The white wall of the whole building is simple and elegant, majestic and proud. Outside the temple, there are verdant trees, dragons and tigers waiting for bodyguards; inside the temple, there are dense immortals and cigarettes.

After more than 1900 years, Yiguan has been known as "the Yuren kingdom of eternal brightness day and night, the medicine fairy palace of spring and Autumn". Today's Zhengyi temple is not only the ancestral court for Chinese and foreign Taoist believers to seek immortals and visit their ancestors, but also a good place for tourists to have leisure and sightseeing, and understand the traditional culture of the motherland.
