《Origin of Ciyun Temple

◎Shi Yongxin

Qinglong Mountain Ciyun Temple is located in Dayugou Town, Gongyi City, Henan Province. It is surrounded by four mountains, flowing in the water, with peaks and mountains connected and forests hidden.Ciyun Temple, surrounded by fifty-three peaks, presents an extremely solemn holy realm.Therefore, it is called Dabaima Temple, Daciyun Temple, Shiyuan, and Ancestral Court.Qinglong Mountain is in line with Songshan. In the early Ming Dynasty, Yu Yan, the prefect of Henan, wrote an article saying that he was "common ancestors of Shaolin and fellow townsmen of Baima".

Ciyun Temple was first built in the seventh year of Yongping, Eastern Han Dynasty. (64Year ),It has a history of nearly two thousand.It is said that one day, "Han Ming felt a dream" and a Jin man was dreaming at night, "It means this sound teaching. (Buddhism )"There should be flown here," and sent 18 envoys to seek Buddhist teachings, and welcomed the eminent monks, Jiashemoteng, Zhu Falan, the Buddhist scriptures and Buddhist portraits to return on a white horse. The two holy monks were carried to Honglu Temple in the ancient capital Luoyang (Today's White Horse Temple )When I translated the scriptures, I traveled to Qinglong Mountain in my spare time and saw that the mountains and rivers were beautiful, with jade rabbits, golden beetles, towering domes, and auspicious jade clouds. It looked like a dragon that wanted to fly, namely the dragon that suppressed the darkness and the spider that subdued the demons. The two elders talked about the scriptures, and predicted that Buddhism would meet the opportunity, and the ancient temple of Ciyun was opened with the first to open.The ancient stele in the temple also repeatedly states that this temple is the "Shiyuan ancestral courtyard", which is not false.

Ciyun Temple in Qinglong Mountain has experienced vicissitudes and has risen and become abolished several times.After "reconstructed and rebuilt by the Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties."Especially in the 23rd year of Zhenguan in the Tang Dynasty (649Year )Master Xuanzang was also ordered to rebuild Ciyun Temple and worship the "Picture of the Two Traces of the Tathagata" brought back from the Western Regions to the temple, and began to perform the great Dharma here.There is also a precious inscription "The Map of the Fifty-Three Peaks of Ciyun Temple in Qinglong Mountain", which details the Sighting Land of Ciyun Temple surrounded by 53 Peaks.Ciyun Temple was still very popular in the Song Dynasty.Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin once named Qinglong Mountain where Ciyun Temple was located "the world's number one Feng Shui treasure land."By the Yuan Dynasty, it was once abandoned due to war and famine.Therefore, it was rebuilt by an order again.The "Journey to the West" written by Wu Chengen, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, was also written here.In the early Ming Dynasty, the eminent monk Nan Zongshun rebuilt it again after he was stationed in Ciyun Temple in Xi, and it was even more grand. The donations to monks, believers and officials involved eleven provincial governments across the country. At its peak, the temples were lined up and magnificent, with five or six hundred monks and pilgrims coming in a crowd.The ancient stele records: "The scale did not decrease at that time, Danqiu Penglai, nor did Wuyi Nine Curves be seen", "Although Yuangong lived in Lushan Mountain, Bodhidharma lived in Shaoshi, and Dadun was facing the South China Sea, it was better than the jungle, and there were not many things to give way."It is known as "the most victorious in Gongnan and the best in the jungle" and "the first temple in Zhongzhou".It is known as the four major temples in Zhongzhou together with Shaolin Temple, Baima Temple and Fawang Temple. The ancient temple of Songshan is also called "There is Ciyun Temple in the Yin of Songshan... It is the beginning of Buddhism's entry into China."Shaolin Temple has a great relationship with Ciyun Temple. The 26th generation abbot of Shaolin Temple once went to Ciyun Temple to recruit disciples and teach arts. The abbot of Ciyun Temple. Shaolin Kung Fu also spread all over the world from Ciyun Temple.

The ancient Ciyun Temple has been through nearly two thousand years of vicissitudes and has continued to this day.The existing inscriptions in the temple can be protected as precious cultural resources, both in terms of their artistic and historical value.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Ciyun Temple site, located in deep mountains and valleys and beautiful scenery, was valued by experts and scholars. In 1963, it was announced as a key cultural relic protection unit by the county government.In recent years, experts from various fields such as cultural relics, ancient buildings, forests, etc. have conducted a comprehensive investigation of Qinglong Mountain and Ciyun Temple, and found hundreds of ancient buildings, stone carvings, cliffs and other cultural relics from the Sui, Tang, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. (Where ),There are more than fifty inscriptions and more than forty pagoda inscriptions alone, among which the statue towers of Sui Dynasty, the double spiritual image map, the fifty-three peaks map and the ancient pagoda of the Tang Dynasty are particularly precious.

Nowadays, politics is harmonious and people are harmonious.In November 2000, Ciyun Temple was approved by the government. On April 30, 2001, Ciyun Temple was officially handed over to the Buddhist community for management, and his disciple Master Yan Chao was the abbot of Ciyun Temple.Master Yanchao became a monk at Shaolin Temple. He has been with me for many years. He is diligent in practicing, has always been majestic, and has a deep learning.For more than ten years, he abbot of Ciyun Temple has worked diligently, rebuilt a series of buildings such as the Sanmen Hall, the Heavenly King Hall, the Bell and Drum Tower, the Great Hall, the Huayan Pavilion, the White-Clothing Pavilion, the Abbot's Room, the Zen Hall, and the Sutra Pavilion, and restored the ancient Ciyun Temple into a large jungle with a complete structure.In recent years, Ciyun Temple has raised funds to restore the ancestral forest, making Ciyun Ancient Temple a place for countless believers to pilgrimage.

Now, he has spent several years to complete the book "Ciyun Temple Chronicles", which is a comprehensive display of the history and culture of Ciyun Temple, and is worthy of recognition and congratulations.I hope that the publication of this book will enable people to better understand Ciyun Temple and its profound Buddhist culture.

This is the cause of cause.
