There is an essay about Luohan Temple in Dabu Village, Songxi.

Today, I will take you to the most famous place in my hometown, Shifang, which is Luohan Temple.

Luohan Temple is located in the north of the city. When I came to Luohan Temple, the first thing that caught my eye was the zhaobi in front of the temple, which read couplets: "The first part:' Ten thousand people give ten thousand homes * * * to build ten thousand people's popularity', the next part:' Ten people, ten emotions and ten things', and the next part:' Xichuan Buddha Capital'". This pair of couplets sparkles in the sun, very spectacular!

Bypass the front of the temple and come to the front of the mountain. There are three gold characters hanging in front of the mountain: "Luohan Temple". Passing through the mountain gate, you reach the first important hall: the Heavenly King Hall, in which there are carved four heavenly kings (also known as four donkey kong, four heavenly kings and four demon generals): according to legend, they live in the east, west, north and south of Xumi Mountain respectively, so they are called East King, South King, West King and North King. Some people say that they are the gods of protection and the symbol of justice. I also heard that the floor of their palace is very precious. Some are made of gold, some are made of glass, some are made of silver, and some are made of crystal. These floors are beautiful, which set off the nobility and prestige of the king!

After the King's Temple, we came to Qingshi Square, which is all paved with bluestones. In the middle is Maitreya Buddha, about 5 meters tall, with a big belly and a bright smile. It seems that everything can be solved with laughter and tolerated with a big belly.

Passing through Qingshi Square, you will arrive at the third hall-Luohan Hall, which is divided into two compartments, east and west, displaying 500 Luohan. These statues are lifelike, each with its own modality: look! In the arhat hall in the east wing, some people are reading, some are discussing and some are enjoying paintings-ok? Lohan next to him gave an opinion and asked him to modify it. On the side of the Lohan Hall in the west wing, an Lohan was catching a demon. He caught the little demon on the beam with a swish of his long arm, and the two Lohan beside him applauded! On the other hand, it is more interesting. There were three arhats chatting together, and suddenly one arhat seemed to say, "What a boring chat! Let's have a drink! " "Just say that finish, he became a wine gourd. Another arhat seems to be saying, "Great!" Then he made a golden jar and began to drink. The first arhat asked the third arhat, "Why don't you drink? "I don't have any wine," replied the third Lohan. Without saying anything, the first arhat fell the gourd and the wine came out. Wine falls into Luohankou like a rainbow ... Luohantang's Luohan is really colorful and charming, and it can't be done overnight.

The beauty of Luohan Temple goes far beyond this. Do come and play when you are free!
