Today is the first day of the lunar calendar in April, and I went to Xiamen Hongshan Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha 🌟 Highlights: Xiamen Hongshan Temple was built in the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period, and according to the inscription, it was built in the southern dynasty, and it was destroyed in the early Qing Dynasty "relocated" and was rebuilt during the Qianlong period. Daoguang four years of the Admiral Xu Songnian advocated the repair, added the construction of the Mituo Temple on the side of the temple, dedicated to the 18 Luohan; Tongzhi ten years of the squire Chen Fengyi and other funds to rebuild the Hongshan Temple Daxiong Pavilion; Guangxu 19 years of the xican monk should ask the abbot to renovate the temple in a comprehensive way. Two years later, Xican monk Rongsheng Nanputuo Temple abbot, Hongshan Temple once became the lower house of Nanputuo Temple. During this period, the Nanguan Pass in Xiamen Town has not been rebuilt, and Hongshan Temple is located on the mountainside of Hongshan on the edge of the town's Nanguan. After the reconstruction of the monastery in the 1990s, the mountain is steep, the step is steep, and the vertical gap with the street is 14 meters. The front of the temple is mixed with cars, and the traffic hazards are highlighted. The layout of the temple lacks overall planning, the space is cramped, and many activities are affected, which brings inconvenience to the faithful who come to the temple to worship incense. After several years of renovation, Hongshan Temple was fully completed in 2008. After the overall renovation, Hongshan Temple moved the mountain gate to the north side of Hongshan Park Square. The appearance is antique, and the interior is modern equipment, complete functions and reasonable layout. Hongshan Temple abbot Fayun Master said that in the future, Hongshan Temple will build a comprehensive temple with complete functions and close to modern urban life around the three centers of "law, culture and charity". ❤ Recommended reason: The development and change of a city and a monastery is the epitome of the rise and fall of the Chinese nation and Chinese Buddhism. Hongshan Temple is rooted in Xiamen, this vibrant soil, with a tenacity, and miraculously built a road field in the "field snail shell" of less than three acres of land; From a humble roadside temple to an urban monastery with a modern atmosphere and traditional style. 📍 Detailed address: No. 305, Siming South Road, Siming District, Xiamen City, Fujian Province 🚉 Traffic Raiders: Take the bus to Xiamen 1 Road, Xiamen 2 Road, Xiamen 20 Road, Xiamen 21 Road, Xiamen 22 Road, Xiamen 659 Road, Xiamen 841 Road and so on.
