Unity of Three Religions in Zhenfo Mountain, Dazhou

The temple architecture in Zhenfo Mountain combines the essence of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, creating the unique cultural connotation of "three religions in one" in Zhenfo Mountain, and forming the traditional temple fair in Zhenfo Mountain on June 19th of the lunar calendar every year. Buddhism is closely combined with China's traditional Confucian thought of loyalty and filial piety, forming a unique Buddhist system in Zhenfo Mountain-Qingyun School. Its traditional filial piety culture in China is vividly displayed in the ancestral temple, filial hall, Zude Liufangtang and the "Twenty-four Filial Pieties" wall sculpture. Wen Yuan, with exquisite architecture, vividly embodies the Taoist thought of "one life, two lives, two lives, three lives and everything" in architectural language. Sixiangtang, Eryitang and Wuliangtai not only vividly reproduce Taoist monastic scenes, but also fully demonstrate the essence, philosophical thinking and development process of Taoist culture. Bamboo slips such as the door of the Analects, Rentang, Auditorium, Confucius Temple and Confucius Temple lead people's thinking back to that long time, and follow the footsteps of their ancestors to feel the profoundness of Confucianism. The voice of Confucius and Mencius seems to reverberate in their ears for a long time. Towering into the sky, the twin towers of the Jade Buddha Temple are still towering.
