Quanzhou Anhai Longshan Temple
Longshan Temple was named Puxian Hall, also known as Tianzhu Temple, commonly known as "Guanyin Hall". Longshan Temple is located at the foot of Longshan in the north of Xingcuo Village, Anhai, so it is named Longshan Temple. It is a famous thousand-year-old temple in Quannan and is listed as one of the key Buddhist temples in the country. The existing buildings in Longshan Temple were repaired by Shi Lang, the Marquis of Jinghai, and others in the 23rd year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1684 AD). They were expanded in the 57th year of the Kangxi reign. Due to their long age, they were repeatedly damaged and repaired later. In recent years, it has been further renovated and expanded. According to the habit of building and sitting in southern Fujian, Longshan Temple faces north and south. The entire temple consists of a release pond, a mountain gate, a bell and drum tower, a front hall, a temple main hall, a worship pavilion, a kitchen, a Zen room, etc. All parts are lined up one after another, sparse and orderly. The total area covers an area of 4,250 square meters. The entire temple is silent and majestic, deep and open, giving people a feeling of sacredness and transcendence.
Longshan Temple
Longshan Temple is actually very originated. According to legend, there was a huge camphor tree in the place, which covered the ground with thick shade and shining brightly at night, and people at that time admired it. During the Eastern Han Dynasty, a monk saw this giant camphor tree with a grain of sand and thought it was a strange sacred tree, so he asked a craftsman to carve it into a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes. During the Emperor Tai period of the Emperor Yue of Sui Dynasty (618-619 AD), temples were established for worship, and later temples were built many times. Temple buildings in many eras have been repeatedly destroyed. According to historical records, it was rebuilt in the third year of Tianqi (1623 AD), and the buildings built in the Qing Dynasty were left behind in reference to the general structural diagram of the Ming Dynasty.
The overall structure of Longshan Temple is very distinctive: the release pond is located in front of the temple and is built together with the temple; the Huabiao on both sides of the mountain gate is towering (in ancient Huabiao, it cannot be built casually, and the opening of southern Fujian can be seen); a large stone tablet inlaid with walls in front of the courtyard is engraved with four big words "Longshan Treasure Land", which are vigorous and powerful; the surrounding walls are engraved with countless reliefs, carefully crafted; a sandalwood is mounted horizontally at the top of the bell tower on the left side of the courtyard, and an ancient bell weighing thousands of pounds is hung. The shape is simple, and the four words "Tianzhu Zhongfan" in the regular script are engraved with the powerful and powerful words. Historically, Longshan Temple is often called "Tianzhu Zhongfan" and regarded it as one of the eight scenic spots of Anhai. In fact, Longshan Temple is no longer an attraction in Anhai, but is also very famous in the entire Quanzhou area.
Longshan Temple
The front hall of the temple is five rooms wide and two rooms deep. There are two stone lions standing in front of the temple. Above the temple door is a gilded plaque with four words "A piece of charity cloud". On the stone pillars on the front eaves of the temple, there is a couplet saying: "I am now six feet tall and have a hand in the Han Dynasty, and I have thousands of hands to help Fujian." The couplets make people vaguely feel the age of the temple. A flame bead is carved in the middle of the roof of the temple. A pair of green dragons on both sides run towards the beads. The scene of the two dragons grabbing the beads is vivid and vivid, which means that auspicious fire brings down evil and prays for peace and good luck. Four huge clay sculptures of Vajra are enshrined in the temple hall, which are extremely majestic. On both sides of the front hall of the temple, the long corridor connects. The east corridor is dedicated to the Lord of Galan, and there is a couplet in front of the niche, "Follow the family according to law, and guard the temple affairs and guard the Longshan Mountains"; the west corridor is dedicated to the ancestor Bodhidharma, and there is a "Secretly show the fingers of not passing on the word, and the heart of Yuan Kong and without nature."
Longshan Temple
The main hall of the temple is the center of Longshan Temple. It is five rooms wide and three rooms deep. It is 11.3 meters high and has an area of 493 square meters. Red eaves and red walls, flying eaves overlap, and a five-story small pagoda is carved in the middle of the roof. A pair of porcelain carved dragons face the pagoda, taking the two dragons to protect the tower, which means to suppress evil and absorb auspiciousness. The three main gates of the hall are lined up side by side, and the gilded plaque of the "Yuantong Treasure Hall" is hung at the upper end of the middle door. There is a pavilion in front of the hall called the Temple of Heaven, which is a place where good men and women who enter incense are decorated with incense tables.
Dragon Pillar
In the Qing Dynasty, a pair of octagonal openworked green stone dragon pillars were arranged. They stood on the left and right. The stone dragon leaned over and circled down, but its head was tumbling upward. It looked like a swelling cloud, with a flying spirit, and a lively dragon appeared.A pair of dragon claws with scales and armors meet and echo each other. The drum can be gently tapped with fine iron bars. After beating the drum, the sound of the drum is revealed. The drum is circulated and the drum sound is very sensible. The dragon pillars of Longshan Temple can be regarded as a masterpiece of unique stone carving craftsmanship in southern Fujian.
The furnishings in the temple hall are particularly brilliant, and the forehead plaque written by Zhang Ruitu, a great calligrapher and native of the Ming Dynasty, hangs high above it, "all-body, hands and eyes". In the niche in the middle of the hall, there is a wooden carved statue of Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes of Guanyin. The total image is 4.2 meters high. It is wearing a flower crown and a sitting Buddha is carved in the middle of the crown. There are many small Buddha heads wearing flower crowns, layered into hats. Thousand Hands Guanyin has a round face, elegant eyebrows and eyes, and looks dignified and kind. Below the shoulders, the hands are bent and arched against the chest, and 1,008 hands are born up or forward on both sides, each holding a variety of items. The entire stroll of the head and strides more than two meters high are engraved so that they are complex and clear. There are 1,08 kinds of hands, with different postures, none of which are similar, and they spread in a semicircular shape on both sides, like golden light radiating, setting off the golden Buddha statue, making the subject more radiant. The exquisite carving, ingenious shape and profound meaning of Guanyin statue are breathtaking.

0 The back hall of the temple is the main hall, which is a double-eaved hip-mounted building. The temple niche is enshrined in the middle of the hall, Sakyamuni, the founder of Buddhism, who is more than 100 feet tall in gold. The Longshan Temple has a majestic and grand temple, with a long history and a far-reaching influence.
Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, the incense of Longshan Temple in Anhai has spread overseas with the footsteps of Anping merchants. Especially prominent in Southeast Asia, Taiwan and other places, there are more than 400 Anhai Longshan Temples in Taiwan. In the seventh year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty (1653 AD), Zen Master Zhaoshan of Anhai Longshan Temple created the first Longshan Temple in Lugang, Taiwan. The style of the temple was built according to the Longshan Temple in Anhai. The building materials were transported from Jinjiang. He specially hired a famous stone carving master from Jinjiang to come to Taiwan to carve a pair of stone lions. The plaque of "Overall Hands and Eyes" hanging in the main hall was copied from Longshan Temple in Anhai. The temple construction project has been built for more than 30 years and is a key cultural relics protection unit in Taiwan.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of immigrated to Taiwan three times along the coast of Jinjiang. The first time was that Zheng Zhilong was recruited by the Ming Dynasty and calmed down the thieves in Taiwan. He served as the general of the three provinces and organized a large number of people to Taiwan to develop; the second time was Zheng Chenggong leading his army to expel the Dutch and regain Taiwan, and moved to Taiwan with hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians; the third time was that Shi Lang's platform unified the motherland and also brought tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians to Taiwan. In order to pray for the gods to protect peace, immigrants generally carried statues and incense of Guanyin Bodhisattva of Longshan Temple. After settling down, they built Longshan Temple in the local area, with about 400, the most famous of which are Lugang Longshan Temple and Mengjiao Longshan Temple in Taipei.
Longshan Temple was first reported to be introduced to Taiwan in the spring of the seventh year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty (1653). In the spring of the seventh year of Yongli in the Southern Ming Dynasty, Zen Master Zhaoshan of Anhai Longshan Temple came to the Lugang Longshan Temple, which was advocated by Taiwan. Lugang Longshan Temple is known as the "Forbidden City of Taiwan", covering an area of 6,000 square meters. The stone and bricks used for the construction of the temple were transported from Anping Port in Jinjiang. At the same time, the famous architects of Hui'an and Jinjiang were hired to carve the platform. Stone carving, brick carving, wood carving, porcelain carving, and Buddhist carving were ingenious. It is a typical "palace from the imperial palace and red bricks come out of the bricks and into the stone" building in southern Fujian. Its style is the same as that of Anhai Longshan Temple. In the third year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty (1738), Lugang Longshan Temple was expanded again. Anhai Longshan Temple was responsible for making the original size of the "Open Body and Eyes" plaque in the collection and presented it to Lugang Longshan Temple, and it has been treasured to this day.
Lugang Longshan Temple, Taiwan
Longshan Temple is rumored to have "three wonders", and the first of the "three wonders" is the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Guanyin statue. This Buddha statue is 4.2 meters high and 2.5 meters wide. It is wearing a crown. The statue of Amitabha is embedded in the crown. There are many small Buddha heads wearing flower crowns, layered into hats. Guanyin’s ribs and shoulders carved with 1,008 hands like peacocks spreading its screen. Each hand has a wise eye carved with its fingers and palms, calligraphy simplified calligraphy, bells and drums... all kinds of postures, golden light shines, and immortalized after thousands of years. It is the pinnacle of ancient wood carving art in southern Fujian.
The second is the Bell and Drum Tower. Located on the left and right side of the temple, it is in the shape of a palace pavilion. The roof is decorated with colorful porcelain, and birds and animals are particularly eye-catching. There is a thousand-pound copper bell hanging at the top of the pavilion in the bell trough. This ancient bell is tied to a sandalwood with a diameter of only fourteen centimeters.At around four o'clock in the morning, monks ring the bell, six times each time, eighteen times each time, a total of 108 times. The drum tower confronts the bell tower, and there is a drum stand on the top of the pavilion, and a big drum is placed on it. The drum body is made of the entire tail of the thousand-year-old camphor tree, and it has a history of more than 1,700 years.
The third is a pair of octagonal openwork diabolic diabolic dragon pillars standing between the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty that stood opposite each other in front of the Yuantong Palace. Two coiled dragons swooped down around the pillar, but their heads tumbling upward, as if they were turning over rivers and seas, with a flying spirit and lifelike life. They are the most exquisite stone carving art in southern Fujian and are one of the four dragon pillars in the country's ancient temples.
A wooden plaque is hung on the main hall of Anhai Longshan Temple in the ancient town of southern Fujian. The four vigorous and upright words "all-body, hands and eyes" written by Zhang Ruitu have been there for more than 380 years. This plaque is 2.35 meters long and 1.2 meters wide. It has gold characters embossed on black background. It is signed in Baihao Anrui Book, and two squares of "Baihao Anzhu" and "Zhang Rui Tu Seal" are embedded. The border is carved with the longevity characters. Anhai Longshan Temple is the ancestral temple of more than 300 Longshan Temples in Taiwan, which jointly worship the Thousand Hands and Thousand Eyes Guanyin. To commemorate Longshan Temple, we use a poem by Huang Boshan of the Ming Dynasty to feel the meaning of Longshan Temple:
"Crossing Longshan Guanyin Temple":
The temple faces the overseas peak of Cangxian, and the wood gates should be closed.
The wind is dripping and the couch is full of bright fire, and the moon is cold and the river is flying in the middle of the night.
The small nest is divided into eight scenic spots, and the lonely pine trees are located in the upper pavilion.
The cassock is covered with autumn leaves, and Buddhism is born and separated from chaos.
Oriental Lion Statue
The statue is located on Shiquan Road, Shishi City, Quanzhou. It is a majestic lion. As the city symbol of Shishi City, it symbolizes the spirit of Shishi people's pioneering and enterprising spirit, love to fight and dare to win. It is a good symbol of the spirit of openness in coastal areas after China's reform and opening up, so it is known as the "Oriental Lion". This city sculpture was jointly awarded the "Fujian Province Urban Sculpture Construction Achievement Award since the Founding of New China" by the Provincial Department of Construction and the Department of Culture. Back then, after the famous sculptor Wang Zejian stood in the Oriental Lion City, he stood at the entrance of Shishi City, and was quickly considered the spiritual emblem of the Shishi people and was immediately famous throughout the country. From an artistic point of view, this is indeed a very successful stone statue, which fully reveals the mighty and majestic style of the hero. In the early days of reform and opening up, people were energetic, confident, full of fighting spirit, and doubled their strength. This heroic master just showed the spirit of people at that time. Looking at this heroic master reminded Napoleon's famous saying: China is a sleeping lion, and when it wakes up, the world will tremble!

Chongwu Ancient City
Chongwu Ancient City has now become one of the places with the most collection of stone carving art works in the country. It is located on the protruding part of the southeast coast of Fujian Province. It is facing the sea on three sides and only connects to land on the west side, making it a peninsula. In ancient times, Chongwu was a seaside fortress with a very important strategic location. Because the nearby waters of Chongwu were filled with islands and reefs, the terrain was complex, making the fortress a place that was easy to defend and difficult to attack. This place has always been a place that must be fought for by military strategists. The reason why it is called "Chongwu" means "advocating martial arts". It can be seen that this ancient city is closely related to military preparations. As early as the Song Dynasty, this place was called Chongwu Township Shoujieli. After Hui resettled the county in the sixth year of Taiping Xingguo in the Song Dynasty (981 AD), Xiaoduo patrol village was set up here. In the early Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to the Xiaoduo Inspection Office. In the third year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1370 AD), the Japanese pirate group, the Japanese pirate group that was active in North Korea and the coastal areas of our country, suddenly invaded Quanzhou Bay, posing a threat to the security of the Quanzhou area. In the 20th year of Hongwu (1387 AD), in order to defend against the invasion of Japanese pirates, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, appointed Jiangxiahou Zhou Dexing to inspect the southeast coast. Zhou Dexing was a military engineering expert. According to the characteristics of the winding coastline and dangerous terrain in the coastal areas of Quanzhou, "one county has a base, and one county has a guard." At that time, Quanzhou established Yongning Guards and governed five offices, including Chongwu. Five cities were established in Hui'an, and Songwu City was one of the five cities, and it was affiliated to a thousand-household office in Yongningwei, Fujian. Based on this calculation, Chongwu has a history of more than 610 years of construction.
Chongwu Ancient City is the only relatively complete stone city in my country, and it is also a relatively complete historical site in my country's coastal defense history. It is listed as a "National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit".The ancient city of Chongwu is made of white granite. The city wall is 2457 meters long, the city foundation is 5 meters high, the wall is 7 meters high, and there are two-story racing tracks. There are 1,304 wall discs, 1,300 arrow windows, and 26 nest shops on the wall. There are city gates on all sides, each inner gate is 3.2 meters high and 1.3 meters wide, each front gate is 2.6 meters high and 0.9 meters wide. The three city gates in the east, west and north are similar, each with two city gates. A beacon tower is set up on each city gate, and a wall is set up outside the south gate. There is also a lookout platform on the commanding height of Lianhua Mountain in the city. These city walls, watts, gate towers, moon city, pier platforms, defending villages and martial arts halls constitute a complete strategic defense engineering system in ancient my country.
Chongwu Ancient City
It is said that when the city was first established by Zhuangwu, people were guarded by various places, so there is still the name of "a hundred families (there are still 98 surnames) and tens of thousands of people". The soldiers survived and reproduced here, making indelible contributions to defending the ancient city. In the 22nd year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty (1424 AD), more than 1,000 Japanese pirates invaded Chongwu. Zhang Rong, a thousand households guarding the city, led the soldiers and civilians to fight against the Japanese, sacrificed their lives bravely, and preserved the ancient city. In the first month of the 39th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1560 AD), Japanese pirates attacked Chongwu City again. The soldiers and civilians in the city fought bloody battles, but eventually they were isolated and had no help. The city was trapped. In the first year of Longqing in the Ming Dynasty (1567 AD), Qi Jiguang, a famous anti-Japanese general, personally visited Chongwu to command the suppression of the Japanese and expel Japanese pirates, and the people were able to live and work in peace. After quelling the Japanese turmoil, Chongwu Ancient City became an important town on the southeast coast.
The ancient city of Chongwu still preserves more than 30 temples and temples and temples built in the Song, Ming and Qing dynasties, and dozens of ancient houses. The ancient buildings in the ancient city are well preserved, making the ancient city more simple and elegant.
Chongwu Ancient City
Chongwu Ancient City is famous in the world because it is the famous "town of stone sculptures". For hundreds of years, stone carving craftsmen here have traveled all over the country, and the stone carving products of Chongwu people are spread all over the motherland. Many stone carvings have also gone abroad and are deeply loved by people from all walks of life in Japan and Southeast Asia. There are many stone carving companies here, and the stone carving products produced by sculpture companies are all-inclusive, including majestic lions, giant dragons flying in the clouds, exquisite incense burners, lifelike shadow sculptures, as well as friendly Guanyin, vivid historical figures, naughty and cute animal images, etc. Their shapes are different, their charming, profound meanings, and breathtaking.
The Chinese Stone Sculpture Crafts Expo City in Chongwu Ancient City is one of the 12 fine tourism projects in Fujian Province. Chongwu's stone carving skills are ingenious, and its artistic style is unique to the Southern School. Such as the dragon pillar of Longshan Temple in Taiwan, the poems and lyrics of Chairman Mao in Shaoshan, the "Lu Huitou" at the ends of Hainan Island, the statue of Zheng Chenggong in Xiamen, and the statue of Mazu in Putian, etc., are all masterpieces of Chongwu sculpture artists. In March 1996, Chongwu Town was awarded the title of "China's Stone Carvings Town" by the Economic Development Research Center of the State Council and other departments. The China Stone Carving Crafts Expo City has an area of more than 9 hectares, including more than 20 scenic spots, gathering more than 500 fine stone carvings. These stone sculptures are either small and exquisite, majestic, simple and realistic, abstract and exaggerated, or characters in classical stories, or philosophical inspiration from modern people.
The gate of the Expo City is equipped with the "Nine Dragons Flying" stone pillars and the "Two Dragons Playing with Pearls" stone walls, which are antique. There is "Hui Nu Paradise" when you enter the door, and the elegant and elegant Huidong girl group portrait is amiable. The 10.8-meter-high Colossus Qi Jiguang on the axis of the ancient city is majestic, brave and extraordinary. The "Fable Garden" and the Chinese Gods" use abstract techniques to show the mythical world and life philosophy, which is thought-provoking. The "Personal Viewing Garden" of the four classical literary masterpieces such as "Journey to the West" and "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" in the exhibition city is even more fascinating, and the "Twelve Zodiac Garden" and "Twenty-Four Filial Piety" are also impressive. The animal carvings of other scenic spots with different sizes, different expressions and interesting features also reflect the characteristics of Chongwu stone carving skills from different angles, especially the bold conception of "black cat" and "white cat" and the profound meanings that are thought-provoking. In addition, there are Guanyin statues and stone lanterns with different postures, which are ancient and innovative, intriguing and amazing!
