Baotang Temple

Located in Wanfeng mountain, yinjifu Town, Fangxian County, there is an ancient carved "riyuepin" grotto on the back wall of the temple, which is called yinjifu ancestral temple. In the Wei, Jin, southern and Northern Dynasties, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism merged, and there were statues of three officials and three religions in the temples. In the Ming Dynasty, Baotang temple was built in front of the grottoes of Yin Jifu's ancestral temple. There are steles and grottoes. In 1987, Baotang temple, known as yinjifu ancestral temple, was listed as a key cultural relic protection unit at the county level by Fangxian people's government.

In Wanfeng mountain of Langkou Township, we can see that Yin Jifu's ancestral temple is inlaid on a rock wall, which is divided into upper and lower halls. The lower hall has a large stone hall with a width of 10 meters and a depth of 5 meters. The front and back walls are 3.5 meters high, and the roof is 5 meters high. Hundreds of small square holes of different sizes are drilled in the four walls of the cave, in which stone wedges are inserted, and the stone wedges support stone plates, and the stone plates sit on statues. Outside the main hall of the grottoes, a stone ladder is chiseled along the cliff side, and there is a stone guardrail outside the stone ladder. There are 11 steps from south to north, 19 steps from north to south, and 6 steps from east to west to the upper hall. The upper hall is shaped like a character. The stone hall is 3 meters square on the front, a small stone hall is 2 meters square on the left and right sides of the roof, and there are nearly 60 square holes of different sizes on the four walls of the main hall, which are the same as the upper and lower halls. The three stone halls on the mountain are collectively known as "three halls", with the upper and lower halls 17 meters high.

It is understood that on the trapezoidal terrace outside the grottoes hall, there were originally three chapels, two wing houses on both sides, and five Temple houses, all of which are civil structures. They are built with green tiles, three halls, carved beams and painted buildings, gate towers, columns, eaves, roof ridges and roof beams, all of which are decorated with carving and painting, including immortals, sages, dragons, phoenixes, lions, horses, flowers, birds, grass and insects. In the middle of the hall, there are statues of jade emperor, patriarch and heavenly official.

According to an octogenarian farmer living near Baotang temple, at the beginning of liberation, he was a cadre of the peasant association. When he was leading people to "break the four old buildings", he burned the wing rooms on both sides of yinjifu temple outside the main hall of the grottoes.

What's amazing is that on the large-scale stone tablet of Baotang temple, there is engraved "the monument of Baotang temple in Wanfeng mountain" presided over by Li Nanjin of Fangxian County and Hu Bi of Zhixian County in the 11th year of Zhengde of Ming Dynasty: "this is Yin Jifu, a famous official of the ancient Zhou Dynasty, who came from Shanxi Province. He watched the mountain house for a long time, and paid close attention to this mountain all the time. Ninety miles to the east of Fangxian County, the mountains are elegant, with four pictures of convergence and lingering dragon veins. "
