The Cultural Connotation of Yan Xizi Yan Xizi

The front hall of Yan Xizi is spacious, with three doors 3 meters high, 1 meter, inscribed with the words "Western-funded ancient land". (Written by Cai, a juren of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty)

On the cliff behind the temple, there is the word "Quannan wins" engraved by the ancients.

On the crown of the gate is a couplet, "The Millennium Blessing of the Western Heaven Buddha, all things are sentient". (Written by Daoguang Jinshi Cai)

Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, this temple has seen the world for thousands of years. Some people wrote hundreds of thousands of words in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. (Qing Jinshi Wu Zeng wrote a book)

What does the ancient Buddha mean? Do you agree that it appeared on stones 1000 years ago? Celebrities come here to hide and win for 300 years, and there is a suicide note in the mountain robbery. (Written by Kuloko Shen, Hengyang)

Second, Minnan architectural culture

The layout of the temple is also the same shape. Tall and magnificent.

A pair of stone drums carved with dragons and painted flowers by the gate; The gate is blocked with relief Youlong and tigers; Forests, phoenixes, turtles and cranes with stones on the left and right walls; All of them are exquisite, reflecting the exquisite, beautiful, graceful and elegant style of ancient buildings in southern Fujian.

The ceiling of the main hall of Yan Xizi Temple is 1 1 m, and a 3-meter-high louver fan is installed between the double eaves, which makes the main hall particularly spacious in Xuan Lang. In front of the temple stands a pair of melon-shaped granite pillars, about 5 meters high. The pillars are embossed with dragons and pearls. The dragons are tall and long, and each one is a correct wandering posture. Elon is in the middle, with a beard and tongue sticking out, and his thick African claws show vitality and strength. Judging from the weathering degree and carving style of the pillar, it is obviously an old thing before the Ming Dynasty.

Three. Celebrities and Yan Xizi

Cai incompetent

Cai Ding, a native of Dong Tang Village, Jinjiang, was a famous Yi-ology scholar in Ming Dynasty. Cai Ding, who was born in the 16th year of Wanli, wrote "Come to the Teacher's Hall", saying that he would be Wang's teacher in the future. Although Mencius published it, it shows that he has extraordinary ambitions.

Not sensitive and eager to learn, the subset of classics and history knows everything, and the latitude of the stars knows everything, but it is absorbed in Yi. Since Zhu gave lectures in Quanzhou, the ideological trend of Neo-Confucianism has been rising day by day. In the Ming dynasty, scholars who studied the Yijing were even more talented and wrote a lot. Its authors Cai Qing, Wang Xuan, Wang Xuan, Wang Xi-yuan and Lin Xi-yuan are over 70 people, who have become famous in the past generation and influenced all over the country. Therefore, at that time, it was known as "everyone who speaks the Book of Changes in the world pushes Jinjiang" and became the national Book of Changes center. However, the theory of incompetence inherited the rest of Zhu Cheng's Neo-Confucianism, and descended to the theory of Xu Zhai and Zi Feng, and carried forward the theory of "The Book of Changes is the first of the Five Classics and the connotation of life" and made some innovations.

I can't taste capital, I can't analyze current events, but I have a lot of insights. Sun Chengzong Du Shi Ji Liao was hired to participate in the shogunate, and went north with the army to assist in planning, which made great achievements and made the border safe. In the sixth year of the apocalypse, the court gave "white clothes to join the army." The following year, Chen Wei's top ten sins were released and he was furious. He retired to avoid disaster, retired to Xijingyan, and built a room to study.

Chongzhen acceded to the throne, and Yu Weichen obeyed the law. The emperor sent a letter to visit and asked to be reinstated. He was incompetent and disobeyed orders, so he was called "Cai Buyi". Ten years later, Chongzhen gave tea and returned home. He watches the celestial phenomena every night and sighs: "The national disaster is long, but it can be silent!" So he took a stick and presented the book "On the Challenge". As soon as he saw it, the officials and the people scrambled to circulate it, and he could not help but sigh: "I know that it is not the right time to use it, and there will be no one tomorrow." He also said that "the desire of Ming, such as crossing the south of Song Dynasty, cannot be obtained."

Tang Wang acceded to the throne in Fuzhou, saying that Zhou Li recommended incompetence, and wrote that Sanchi was the teacher of the left army. Thank you for all your incompetence, and Governor Gai can do nothing about it.

In the dark morning of the Mid-Autumn Festival in the twelfth year of Qing Shunzhi, I couldn't bathe and change clothes. On this basis, I sat down and said to my disciples, "I was born a laborer, but now I want to be a Yimin!" " He died and lived sixty-eight years. Cai Yi Ji Jie, 10 with a volume of 500,000 words, was invented under the notes of various scholars. Preface by Chen Zilong Jiang Zhuo. Recently, Ms. Cai, an overseas Chinese, funded photocopying and listed it as a Quanzhou literature series. There is also a "ten thousand draft", which starts from the apocalypse and ends in Chongzhen. It lasted 2 1 year and is an important historical material.

After the death of incompetence, the villagers built a special shrine on the edge of the Buddha Temple, called "the shrine of incompetent Mr. Cai", and their ethnic group wrote a couplet saying:

Emperor yue cloth, the son of heaven can not be a minister, governors can not be friends; The title of the book is "Cai Yi", followed by going to the Holy Land, and the knowledge behind it begins.

There is a "Guan Yi Pavilion" on the rock in front of the temple, where you couldn't see the stars. (Excerpted from Haoran Liu's "Yi Xue Jia Cai Incompetence")

Fanxue candle

Fan, born in Chen Cuo (Aojiang), the 14th capital of Jinjiang, was born in the 28th year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1689). Smart since childhood, he can recite 60 Jiazi and thousands of words at the age of 4, enter school at the age of 5, read four books a year, and recite notes on four books at the age of 6. Because my family was poor, when I was eighteen or nineteen, I "attacked books during the day and took care of my family at night." At the age of 20, I went to Gaozhou Mountain to teach at home and encouraged myself by "working hard" and "smelling chickens" at the door.

In the fifty-eighth year of Kangxi, Fan went to Taiwan Province Province and taught in the library of his uncle Fan Guangyou who went to Taiwan in his early years for nearly twenty years. He once wrote Ode to Taichung, lamenting that wandering around the world is against his heart, and his relatives travel far away to the holy land, just for his own enjoyment. How can he be proud of himself? Chai Men knows that dusk leans on the frequency, and the hotel is empty. However, take good care of it and he will be kind to his guests. At that time, in the early days when Taiwan Province was established as a province, the Qing court took care of a certain number of Taiwan Province students in order to encourage students to study, and many Zhang Quan scholars sent their books to Taiwan Province to take exams. Fan also took part in the Taifu exam in Kangxi 6 1 year, ranked third in Luoxian County, and took part in the provincial exam in Yongzheng 7, and got the sixth place. His writing style was valued by Liu Liangbi, deputy envoy of the Provincial Department of Justice, and he was invited to be the head of the famous Chongwen Academy in Taiwan Province Province. In the second year, Liu Liangbi presided over the reconstruction of the provincial and county chronicles of Taiwan Province, and hired Fan as a guest to be responsible for the compilation of the provincial and county chronicles of Taiwan Province.

Fan lives in Taiwan Province every three years. During this period, with the help of people who emigrated to Taiwan Province, he sorted out the family tree of Fan family in Aojiang River and contacted the national friendship between the two sides. Because of Fan's literary name in Taiwan Province Province, Shan Demei, who visited Taiwan as a scholar, Wu, a professor in Tainan, and Liu Liangbi, the deputy envoy of Taiwan Road, all prefaced Fan's genealogy.

After six years of Qianlong's reign, Fan Yizhu was admitted to imperial academy at the age of 20 in Luoxian County. After graduation, he chose to fill Wu Yingtang's book. Wuying Hall is located on the west side of Taihe Hall. When books were revised in the Qing Dynasty, a prince presided over the revision, a Manchu minister was the president, the Hanlin Academy and Zhan Shifu were the producers, 10 people went abroad to edit and 10 people reviewed. All the imperial books are reprinted here, checked and submitted to the court. Fan Ceng wrote this passage in a poem, "Fish and insects peep at the ancient Olympics". The experience of proofreading books is: "I'm afraid of negligence, I'm conscientious, and I haven't recovered after several times ...".

In the seventeenth year of Qianlong, Fan was appointed as a Confucian teacher in Anxi. His years of teaching experience and meticulous academic attitude made him famous far and wide. "Kyoto and Fujian provinces compete for a teacher, and they can't afford it." Zhuangcheng, the magistrate of Anxi County, called him: "Curling is everywhere, Wang Bo is thousands of hectares, and Qiongbei is full of sound." Three years later, he was promoted to Anxi Oracle Bone Inscriptions. At that time, Anxi edited the county annals, and the magistrate of a county was the editor-in-chief and Jen Fan was the deputy editor. This is the second time he has compiled local chronicles, so he is very familiar with it.

Fan died in the forty-second year of Qianlong (AD 1777), and his works include several volumes of Yi Xuan Huiji. The genealogy of Fan family in Aojiang compiled by him and the inscription for Buddhist temples still exist today. (Excerpted from the famous Confucian scholars in Fujian and Taiwan)

Development of Tourism Resources in Yan Xizi

Yan Xizi's tourism industry is in the development stage, mainly cooperating with other scenic spots. Here are two examples of tourist routes:

① One-day tour of religious pilgrimage in Jinjiang: Qingyang in Jinjiang-Manichaeism in Cao An-Lingyuan Temple-Longshan Temple-Xueyuan Temple-Nantian Temple-Yan Xizi Temple-Zhenhai Palace (recommended tour route of '98 China Travel Expo).

② Coastal tourism and leisure area: it is formed by integrating scenic spots such as Weitoutan and Yan Xizi (Jinjiang Tourism Department divides shenhu bay development pilot area into one of seven functional areas).

My opinion on developing western-funded stone materials

According to the plan, Yan Xizi has been included in the shenhu bay Holiday Tourist Area, and the Jinjiang Municipal People's Government has also set up a monument in the protected area. The greatest value of Xiziyan Buddhist Temple is three stone buddhas, which is at a disadvantage compared with larger temples such as Kaiyuan Temple. Compared with Qingyuan Mountain and Zimao Mountain, Yan Xizi is not a mountain. Therefore, the main attractions in the temple are very small and monotonous. Personally, I think that the development of tourism in Yan Xizi can only get rid of this curse and develop its own characteristics. Personally, I have the following views:

First, the use of bomb shelters. Air-raid shelter is not only an important place for patriotism education, but also can be linked with frontier primary schools. When visitors visit these bomb shelters, they will feel something that other temples don't have. It is worth mentioning that there are two caves carved on the stone wall behind Chongyi Temple and Big Buddha Temple, which can be used.

Second, the use of excavation grottoes. These grottoes have many strange landscapes, and you can take the overpass and see the sea from a distance. They must have a unique charm.

Third, sightseeing orchards. Yan Xizi has a large area of longan fields. We can consult with local farmers and refer to the successful experience at home and abroad to establish mutually beneficial sightseeing orchards. The disadvantage is that sightseeing orchards are seasonal.

In short, only by knowing your hometown can you brainstorm for the development of your hometown.
