480 temples in the Southern Dynasties How many towers are in the mist and rain
Southern Dynasties refers to the four changing dynasties of Song, Qi, Liang and Chen that existed with Northern Wei . Long Dynasty Founder Liang Gaozu Emperor Wu Xiao Yan made achievements in the early days and was sing for Buddhism in the late period. During the 48 years of his reign, Buddhism was spread on a large scale. Since novice monks do not need to pay taxes, Jiangnan areas rushed to the temple to become monks.
Emperor Wu of Liang Xiao Yan was a talented and knowledgeable scholar. His political and military talents were highly regarded among the emperors of the Southern Dynasties. In academic terms, Emperor Wu of Liang is outstanding in the study of classics and history. In terms of classics, he has written more than 200 volumes, including "Book of Changes", "Spring and Autumn Questions", and "Confucius's Correct Words", but unfortunately most of them have not been passed down.
He also devoted a lot of energy to studying Buddhist , and wrote hundreds of volumes of Buddhist works such as "Nirvana", "Great Chapter", "Pure Chapter", and " Three Wisdoms ".
because of playing Go, he shouted "kill" and accidentally killed the monk
0 Xiao Yan loved playing Go and ordered his subordinates to "Oh, you decide the chess score" to evaluate the grades based on the chess scores left by the chess players, which were respectively ones. Xiao Yan became the "Yi Pian". It should be said that this is just a "honor title" and does not represent the actual level. However, it is said that Xiao Yan's own level is also the second grade.
Because he is too addicted to chess, he sometimes does some ridiculous things. He was a Buddhist and often invited monks to the palace to talk. Once, he invited a monk named Wutou, who was well-versed in Taoism, to the palace to preach Buddhist affairs. After the person was brought, the guards went to the palace to inform the monk that he had arrived. However, Xiao Yan was playing chess with his ministers at that time. When the situation was very complicated, Xiao Yan decided to kill the chess and completely forgot about the matter that the guards said that the monk had arrived. He picked up the chess piece and shouted "Kill!"
The guard thought he wanted to kill Master Baitou, so he dragged it out and killed it without saying a word. After Xiao Yan finished a game of chess, he learned what had just happened and he was already regretful.
became monks four times in succession. Ministers used money to redeem
Xiao Yan was born in the Xiao family of Lanling and claimed to be the descendant of Xiao He of the 25th generation, and was the same clan as the Xiao family of the Southern Qi royal family. Xiao Yan's father and grandfather made great contributions in the founding of the Southern Qi Dynasty. Because of his identities, Xiao Yan was active in the political center of the Southern Dynasties when he was young. In the end, he could not bear the corruption of Southern Qi and proclaimed himself emperor.
He was diligent in government affairs, cleaned up the administration of officials, appointed virtuous people, and encouraged the Southern Dynasty, which was full of decadent smell. Qian Mu praised him. In the entire Southern Dynasty, "there was only an old man Xiao Yan who was frugal than Chinese and as diligent as Wang Mang . He can be said to be the master of the Southern Dynasty."
Southern and Northern Dynasties was the period of great development of Buddhism in China, and the upper class had the custom of worshiping Buddhism. Emperor Wu of Liang's nickname "Liang'er", which is taken from the Buddhist pronunciation, meaning it is a place of pure cultivation. It can be seen that his father and grandfather were a Buddhist worshiper. In his later years, Emperor Wu of Liang also began to embark on the road of obsessed with Buddhism.
must be admitted that Emperor Wu of Liang had a political purpose in worshiping Buddhism, but it is obvious that he went too far on the road of worshipping Buddhism and almost forgot his identity as a politician.
1. In the eighth year of ordinary years, the 63-year-old Emperor Wu of Liang went to Tongtai Temple for the first time;
2. In the third year of Datong, the 65-year-old Emperor Wu of Liang became a monk at Tongtai Temple for the second time, and dressed in monk's robes to preach the "Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra". The ministers spent 100 million yuan to redeem him;
3. In the twelfth year of Datong, the 82-year-old Emperor Wu of Liang became a monk for the third time, and the ministers were forced to invest 200 million yuan to redeem the "Emperor Bodhisattva";
4. In the first year of Taiqing, the 83-year-old Emperor Wu of Liang became a monk for the fourth time, and this time the court was blackmailed another 100 million yuan.
In history, there are many emperors who believe in Buddhism. Only those who truly become monks were Zhu Yuanzhang before their success, and Emperor Shunzhi failed to become monks. Old man Xiao took it as an acting role and did it four times, making the temple rich and the treasury poor.
Emperor Wu of Liang found the theoretical basis from the "Mahaprajnaparamita Sutra": Buddhism cannot eat meat or fish, nor can it be close to women. Therefore, he took the lead in setting an example and did not eat meat or fish for the past forty years, and demanded that the country implement this ban be implemented.

A case is about to happen?
Because it is not only a woman, Wu Jinghui (the favorite concubine of Southern Qi Xiao Baojuan , was incorporated into his palace by Xiao Yan after destroying the country) was unhappy and was very angry all day long. So she whispered to Xiao Zong : "You are not Xiao Yan's son, you are Xiao Baojuan's son!" Xiao Yan gave birth to Xiao Zong after 7 months of possession of Wu Jinghui, which is also an indisputable matter.
Xiao Zong was shocked that he actually recognized the thief as his father! After being angry, he fled to the Northern Wei Dynasty, changed his name to Xiao Zhang, and used the banner of revenge for his own father, and rebelled against Nanliang . After Emperor Wu of Liang found out, he did not blame Xiao Zong and his son, and adopted a tolerant attitude.
At this time, Emperor Wu of Liang was obsessed with Buddhist research and his government affairs were relaxed, and he became the "pope". The politics and economy of Nanliang began to decline sharply.
was imprisoned and killed by Hou Jing
Emperor Wu of Liang was in chaos at night, giving some criminals an opportunity to take advantage of, and Hou Jing was one of them. Hou Jing invaded Taicheng and entered the palace to meet Xiao Yan. After bowing, Xiao Yan's expression remained unchanged. After asking Hou Jing a few questions, he was stopped, but it was the people around him who helped him answer. After Hou Jing left the palace, he said to his confidants: "I often kill the enemy on the saddle, and I have never been timid. This time I saw Mr. Xiao, which made people feel scared from my heart. Could it be that the emperor's majesty cannot be violated? I will not see him in the future."
Hou Jing imprisoned Xiao Yan in the palace and did not give him food and drink. A few days later, Xiao Yan wanted to drink a few sips of honey water before his death, but Hou Jing refused to give it to him. Xiao Yan was starved to death at the age of 86 and reigned for 48 years.
Xiao Yan's life is very legendary and cannot be copied. From this person, we can learn the following:
1. Longevity: His life is thrifty, his diet is rough, and he is obsessed with art and Buddhism, which may also be one aspect of his longevity;
2. A person's life is bumpy, and it is difficult for him to achieve great ambitions as a monarch. For example, Emperor Wu of Liang worked hard in the first half of his life, and his sarcastic Buddhist life led to his tragic death in his later years. The country is in turmoil.
