History of Yuantong nunnery

Before and after Huilai County was established, the mountain range of Xixi belonged to longxidu of Haifeng County; in 1524, it belonged to longxidu of Huilai County (including Yunluo, Meilin, Gaopu, Chuanpu, Daping and Houxi). In March 1950, about 500 villages in eight towns of Meilin district were assigned to Puning county.

In the early Yuan Dynasty, Chen Meifeng, zhaojizu of Qishi Township, opened up fields to Houxi mountain. All the fields were taxed in Haifeng County. Meifeng knew the geography and geomancy, and chose a place on Yuantan mountain, which was the "dragon navel", the head of Jiulong, as the graveyard after his death.

One night, I had a dream in my sleep. In my dream, Guanyin Bodhisattva and compassionate empress said that this place was the site of compassionate empress temple. Meifeng's graveyard was in Xisha's "Zhenwu treading turtle". Therefore, Chen Meifeng built yuantanzi temple to worship compassionate empress and other deities at the age of Ding you in the first year of Chengzong Dade (1297).

In 1564, Chen Yuanqian, the fifth grandson of Chen Meifeng in the 43rd year of Jiajing reign of Ming Dynasty, rebuilt it and renamed it Yuantong nunnery.

At the age of 1898 (1658), the abbot of Yuantong nunnery, Youfang monk Yiyi, and Xiao Shami took advantage of the chaos of the imperial court to bully their neighbors, trample on the law, and join the party. If a woman pilgrim came to the nunnery alone to pray for evil monks, she would seduce lewd people. If the obedient monk was released to go home, and if not, she would be taken to the back mountain secret room to be imprisoned, and let them commit adultery However, many people from other places didn't come to the nunnery to pray for Buddha. They didn't know that there were no dead people or corpses in this life, and they didn't dare to provoke evil monks. They knew that their martial arts were excellent and they were rampant. After listening to the rumor, they didn't dare to come to the nunnery to pray. Monks had no way to give alms, so they had to steal and sell the industrial nunnery in the nunnery.

Many villagers in the nearby villages could not bear the evil monks to dominate the temple. The god Buddha was humiliated and had to report to the temple leader Qishi township. When the elders of the Chen Clan in Qishi learned that the monks were disorderly disciplined, the Shanmen people were indignant. In order to restore the pure land of Buddhism and avoid the damage to the reputation of the village, they discussed the plan to eradicate the evil monks. Knowing that the evil monks were highly skilled in martial arts, they decided that Chen dunlong, a martial arts student, and Chen Zongneng, a martial arts leader, would go to the temple to gain the virtue and righteousness of the monks, Dunlong and Zongneng wait for the opportunity to start in Yuanming village. One day, Yiyi and xiaoshami go down the mountain smartly. Dunlong and Zongneng disguise themselves as pilgrims to the nunnery to worship Buddha

There is no doubt that Dun long takes the censer to beat Seng de on the head. Seng De's eyes are hurt by the incense ash, and he can't see clearly. He can fly on the eaves and walk on the wall. He has excellent martial arts.

He was also taken down by the two warriors of Qishi and tied up in the side room. They waited for Yiyi to return to the nunnery. In the same way, they took Yiyi and xiaoshami down and escorted them to Lufeng County Government for trial and imprisonment, and they would never return to the nunnery. The magistrate of Lufeng County, Mr. Li, set up a stele to show the monk that if he wanted to teach the abbot, he had to go to Qishi Township and tell the nunnery that the abbot would set up a post for him.

Yuantong nunnery is the heritage of Chen's ancestors in Qishi Township and the spiritual pillar of Qishi villagers. Every Spring Festival, villagers organize to "save incense" in Yuantong nunnery.

As the "Hai Lu Hui Chen Genealogy" says, "Yuantong Temple" is always owned by Qishi township.
