Historical allusions

1、 The origin of Jinxian

In the period of King Wu's rise and fall of Zhou Dynasty, before lighting lamps helped Jiang Ziya to break through the "ten Jue array", the Taoist of lighting lamps once practiced Taoism in the mountains with an altitude of 757 meters and a distance of 160 Li from the south end of the pavilion. At that time, a Confucian boy used five stems of lotus to support the lamp, and was given the Jieyu by the lamp: "after the 91 robberies, the virtuous robbers can understand the true meaning of Buddhism and become Buddhists.". It is the Tathagata Buddha in this world. After breaking through the ten Jue array, he broke away from the Tao and entered the Buddha, achieving the body of Da Luo Jinxian. Ruiying Jing is translated as Ding Guang. The 77000 Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, such as the Tathagata Buddha and the Guanyin Bodhisattva, are all disciples of the lampholder. Lighting Christmas is on August 22 of the lunar calendar. "On great wisdom" states: "when a lamp comes into the world, everything around you is as bright as a lamp." After becoming a Buddha, he is a golden immortal, whose status is higher than that of the twelve golden immortals. The place of cultivation is Jinxian mountain. The villagers prayed for the blessing of Jinxian and built a temple, so it was called Jinxian temple. The fifth volume of Jianzhou annals compiled by Li Meibin, governor of Yongzheng Prefecture in Qing Dynasty Mountains and rivers Page 9. Place names and temple names are recorded. It has been more than 3000 years since Lu Shangxing and Zhou conquered Zhou by lighting lamps. For 3000 years, the mountain is famous for its immortals, and the land is famous for its mountains. The culture and region are all named after "Jinxian": Jinxian Town, Jinxian farm, Jinxian, Jinxian accent. Later, due to the desire to become a Buddha and ascend the immortal world, it was renamed "Dengxian Temple" or "Sibao" for short.

2、 The founder of Taoism

The disciples of Taoism, the birthplace of "Heming mountain" Taoism in Jianzhou City, fly to Tazi mountain from the white crane, which lives in Xianhe pool of Jinxian temple, and sing several times to send out a message, informing the disciples to go through Longyuan, go down Bailong, go up Beiya, go over Daya, go through houshiya, drill Bayan shop, open shuangbaishuyan and other plank roads, and go up Dengxian Temple along the plank road. Because the crane calls in Tazishan, it is called "Heming mountain". It is said that Zhang Daoling was the founder of Taoism in Heming mountain. Zhang Daoling was born in the Eastern Han Dynasty. From 34 to 156 A.D., he was the eighth grandson of Zhang Liang. Laozi Li'er, a world cultural celebrity, was born in Luyi, Zhoukou, Henan Province during the period of pre Qin, spring and autumn and Warring States, after 580-500 B.C. The famous founder of Taoist school was more than 600 years earlier than Zhang Daoling. However, the lamp burning Taoist was 1100 years earlier than Zhang Daoling and 500 years earlier than Li Er. There is no written record, only deeds. Later generations had no choice but to regard him as a Taoist ancestor. Influenced by the legend of burning lamp Taoist, Li Er deeply studied the true meaning of Taoism and wrote Chinese classics Laozi and Daodejing. He is a great philosopher and thinker in China and the founder of Taoism in the Chinese nation. Zhang Daoling should be the teacher of heaven who was influenced by his predecessors and led the way. Is dengdeng an ancient Buddha or a Taoist: religion is interlinked, Buddhism is the thought of the integration of Taoism, Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and the three religions, the cultural phenomenon of mutual fusion and symbiosis, the spirit of dengdeng nirvana is to guide people to good, to solve people's doubts and fears.

3、 Changes of Jinxian ancient town

It is said that as far back as the Qin and Han Dynasties, there was a busy market at the foot of the mountain to the north of Sibao. Because when the north wind is burned to ashes. There are many debris and traces in this site. At that time, the courtyard of Shibao in the south of Sibao became a temporary market after the fire. Jinxian stone yard got its name from this. The ancestors of Jinxian people cherished the land most. After the fire, the construction of the market town was rebuilt according to the barren stone mountain. Jinxianchang, an ancient town, has a total length of nearly 500 meters from shiyuanchang to Wenmiao street. There are more than 280 storefronts, all of which are green tile houses with standing wood structure, including 9 large courtyards and 11 small courtyards. There are more than 20 courtyards at the edge of Jiachang. The streets are all inlaid with stone slabs, with beautiful appearance. The pavement is covered with wooden doors, presenting an antique landscape. Since the construction of the market town in 1984, the new government street, Jiaotong street, dazhaidi street, Food Station Street, farmers' market, etc. have expanded nearly ten times than the old street.

The ancient town is located at the key point between Langzhong and Chengdu. Langzhong passes through Siyi, Jinxian, Guandu River (Xihe River and now Shengzhong reservoir), liangjiaya, Jieshan, Gongdian, Zitong, Mianyang and Chengdu. It is an ancient post road between East and West, an official road and a shortcut for businesses. From Chengdu to Langzhong, Xichong and Hechuan, the export and import of products must go through Jinxian. It is an important postal route in history. It is still postal after liberation. It is also an important military strategy in history. During the Three Kingdoms period, Zhang Fei traveled from Chengdu to Baxi County, and the Guandu River probably got its name. Then there is the ancient post road in Nanbu county. Jinxianchang is a crossroad from south to North and from east to west. Merchants stroll along these two ancient roads, which makes jinxianchang merchants gather and shops stand in a forest. Jinxian is the first place for the villagers in the surrounding area. The streets are congested and business is all night long. It has become one of the four famous towns in our county.

In the 32nd year of Guangxu and 1906, there were more than 300 bandits in the south. They occupied Jinxian and robbed the surrounding fields. After that, Jinxian stationed officers and soldiers to carry out the suppression (aftercare tablet)

In the same year (1906), Yuan Jinguang, a gentry of Jinxian, set up the first primary school in Jinxian Confucian temple.

In the seventh year of the Republic of China and 1918, the bandits broke out and turned into bandits. In August, Feng Lanbi, a mountain bandit, took charge of jinxianchang. The Jinxian Confucian temple was burned down by bandits, which aroused the hatred of the whole country.

In 1919, the whole people in Jinxian old district mobilized to build a long line from zhaiyan to the Confucian temple. More than 100000 green tiles were handed down by hand, and the Confucian temple was rebuilt successfully.

In 1920, Yuan Jixiang was appointed commander of Jian'an regiment. Because the army passed jinxianchang, the two leaders demanded huge contributions from the local government, and Jixiang was killed.

In 1921, the gentry organized jinxianchang primary school, which was approved by the county government as "the second senior primary school of jinxianchang in Jiange county".
