Taolin ancient temple was built in Tang Dynasty

Taolin temple, originally known as LINGJI temple, was built in the first year of Yuanhe in Tang Dynasty (806 AD). It is said that it is one of the eight branches of Shaolin Temple. It is located in Shuangdun village, taolinsi Town, with its back against guyingpanling and facing panjiafang. The Beijing Guangzhou double line passes 100 meters in front of the temple.

Taolin temple covers an area of more than 30 mu, with nine entrances up and down. There are horse racing towers on both sides. It is said that there are 48 patios in the temple, representing 48 martial monks. The main hall of Taolin temple is open with three rooms and four entrances. When you enter the gate of the temple, you will see a statue of Guan Gong standing majestically with a red face. It is about 4 meters high, holding a green dragon Yanyue sword. On the side of the head is a vertical plaque, which reads: "don't hide it from me when you come.". Erjin worships the cross legged stone Buddha on Vajrayana, about 3 meters high. Its couplet says: "the Buddha is in my heart, and I can see through the world; if I have no other thoughts, I can enter the only way." On the lotus terrace in the middle of the three entrances is the Bodhisattva Guanyin. On the pillars of the shrine are several pairs of couplets. One of the shorter couplets is: "may it be as flat as a Buddha's hands, and touch the heart." There is a statue of Wenchang emperor holding a book in his hand. He is gentle and gentle, with dim eyes, mustache and solemn. The couplet beside it reads: "fame and wealth make people busy, not vulgar is immortal bone; heaven and earth allow me to be quiet, and amorous is Tao heart." Because Taolin temple is located in a place of elegant and beautiful, outstanding people, so the fragrance is strong all year round.

Monks do good deeds and make good friends

All along, Taolin monks often do good deeds, which is highly admired by the local people. In addition to practicing Buddhism, Taolin monks are also diligent in practicing martial arts. They have a short staff with a copper head. One of the most famous is the temple master. Monk Miaojue is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also excellent in martial arts. It is said that he can fly on eaves and walls. In addition, monk Miaojue bought more than 400 mu of wasteland and developed it into good land. In addition to the mulberry used in the temple, the rest of the good farmland is rented to the nearby people at a low price. The rent collected is used to relieve the poor villagers and set up the Yi tea pavilion. The Yi tea pavilion is built every five miles. People who are on the way can have tea and rest in the Yi tea pavilion when they are tired. Miao Jue didn't die until he was more than 90 years old. At that time, a benefactor wrote an elegiac couplet for him, which was: "great mercy, eternal forever, leap year, leap month, more than 100 years old."

Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, monks in the temple will go out to make love. Villagers think that monks can protect their safety, so they don't go far on that day and dress neatly to welcome the monks. Today, the old generation of taolinsi town still have a saying: "Dangdang Kuang, monks beg rice to pass the Dragon Boat Festival".

Thousand year old temple destroyed by war

In October 1944, the Taolin temple was ransacked and bombed by Japanese invaders. All the monks who could escape in the future were slaughtered. Before leaving Taolin temple, the Japanese saw that there were many big trees in the temple, so they cut them down and transported them to the Miluo River to build a floating bridge. Whenever the water level of the Miluo River drops, the wooden piles under the Nandu bridge will be exposed. Most of these wooden piles are in Taolin temple.

In 1984, the taolinsi town government set up a monument at the site, which read "taolinsi site, a key cultural relic protection unit".

Taolin ancient temple has always been Taolin people's spiritual sustenance, now nothing.

Perhaps, when today's young generation pass by here, no one will think that this ruins wasteland once had such a prosperous history.
