White Buddha Shop and Tongzhonghe

Wang Guxiang

In Wuhuang Town, Yanjiang District, Ziyang City, there is an antique town at Minjiang in the south -bronze bell. Because the town is located on the shore of the Minjiang River, the people nearby are also called the Tongzhong River. The town is not big, and the mountains are trend, such as a round of crescent moon, from Wuhuang to the south, and then folding west, less than one kilometer. Overlooking through the river, the opposite side is Zhengjiaba, Zizhong County, which can be regarded as the border town in Yanjiang District.

For the Wuhuang District on the mountains, the Tongzhong River is the only water and land terminal with Tongjiang Dahai. It can be imagined that in ancient times, which was the main transportation hub with water transportation. When walking on the small field, the fireworks are full of teasing houses, and we have sufficient reasons to believe that Tongzhonghe must be an ancient town with history and stories.

In recent years, the author has been enthusiastic about studying local historical ideas. From near to far, trying to clean up the humanistic geography around his hometown. However, the more ancient Bronze Bell River reads the more and more confused: in the various versions of "Ziyang County" before the Republic of China, no matter the map or the text, you can't find any traces and shadows related to it. If it is between any other remote mountain gulf, the problem is that the Bronze Bell River is located on the ancient post road in ancient Sichuan -Chengyu Ancient Post Road. Pass through the street. In the era of thousands of years, on this large official road, on the slate road in the center of the street, I do not know how many scholars have left the lone shadows, businessmen hurriedly stepped, soldiers' horseshoe, scholars, doctors. The eight hundred miles of the official sedan and the posts of the official sedan and the posts were in a hurry. Old residents on Tongzhong Street opened the door to push the window, and I do not know how many free live dramas have been watched. However, in the difficult step in the "Chicken Sound Maodian Month, the Human Trace Banqiao Cream", no one even picked up a piece of charcoal on the white limem wall of the copper bells. The small poems of the oil, the straight end made a small town of Yilu hidden in the city, evaporated in the yellow rolls of historical books.

On the contrary, in the historical history of various versions, I read the "White Buddha Shop" and "White Buddha Temple" in surprise. The ancient Bai Buddha Temple is at the foot of the inconspicuous mountain at the west of the Tongzhong Town today. As all the "Southern Dynasties 480 Temple" destroyed in the fireworks, the White Buddha Temple has long been gone as a temple. Today, the believers built a small red brick temple in the original site. They couldn't bear to look straight. They could only be used as a road sign. It was just a symbol of relying on the ancient and ancient feelings for people in this world.

In the author's hands of Jiaqing and Xianfeng version of "Ziyang County", the words "White Buddha Panel" and "White Buddha Temple" appeared very frequently, which mainly originated from its special status in Chengyu Ancient Post Road. As an ancient postal route, there are posts, shops, and shops along the post road, so that the emails can be connected, the stage of the stage of the stage, and the pedestrian accommodation. Its function is equivalent to today's high -speed road life service area. Regarding how many miles are set up, it depends on the situation and is more flexible. The dynasties and roads are different, but the five miles shop and Shili Yipu are all generations. Chengyu Ancient Post Road entered the country from Linjiang Temple to the golden belt out of the country. In Ziyang 140 miles, a total of 14 shops and 14 shops were set up. The white Buddha shop is a crucial shop for Chengdu -Chongqing ancient post road. It is important to say that in history, the distance between the post is relatively short. It has been set up here, called "Taurus Post".

Today's people came down from the Tongzhong Wuli Store and went down the mountain all the way. It was necessary to experience a long slope to go down to the ancient Bai Buddha Temple. The ancient mountains, which is based on the back of the white Buddha Temple, is known as the white Foshan, which belongs to one of the tall mountains on the side of the Minjiang River. The white Buddha pavement is in the eyes of the ancients and lives between the mountains and rivers with a dangerous situation. When the Qingxianfeng version of "Ziyang County Chronicle" describes the victory of Ziyang East Border, quoting the older books calls "the Baifu Creek is steep and the cross hills high", a "steep" word enhances its attitude of Cui Wei. It describes the dangers of the white Buddha shop, and it also brings out the more lighter qualifications, the ancient Cross Ridge, so that although it is on the post road, Shiling, which does not have the shop, appeared in ancient books for the first time.

Another problem has also been read from the history of the past, which is the name of "White Buddhist Shop" and "White Buddha Temple". In the ancient literati, in the writing and various classics, the title is very chaotic. "Bai Fu" and "Bai Fu" have different appearances in different chapters in the same book. To clarify this problem, we must first understand the problem of chickens or eggs between "White Foshan" and "White Buddha Temple". Because of the influence of religious power, in the Chinese folk, the examples of the name of Shanyin Temple are all examples of the name of the temple. Yes; secondly, it depends on the treasure of the temple in the temple. If it is because there is a white jade Buddha or something in the temple, it should be called "white Buddha". "If there is a hundred" blessings "in the temple, it should be" Blessing ", but people will never care about the color of the word" blessing ", so it is unlikely to be called" Bai Fu ". The word "Buddha" reads "Fó" when we call the Bodhisattva. Homing. Today, the ancient temple has been destroyed, and the ancients had to ask the ancients to ask. The county's records that the Bai Buddha Temple was founded in the 16th year of the Ming Wanli (1588), and the fourth year of Yongzheng and the 51st year of Qianlong was rebuilt. "Xianfeng Zhi still recorded, indicating that the era of temples will not be earlier than before Xianfeng. The author's deliberate test that before the mission of the post road ended, the temple should still be there, that is, the history of the temple destroying the temple should be around 100. The only old trace of the White Buddha Temple that can be seen so far is the cliff stone carvings on the rock behind the ancient temple, crowded with the image of most of the stone masts that appeared in the ancestral grave and the ancestral temple in ancient times. For this unique mast stone carvings in Ziyang, the literati have a variety of interpretations. Some people say that they are the reproductive worship of the locals. If you want to have a son or have a son, you can engrave a mast graphic wish and return. The image is a bit like a man. Some people have interpreted the customs of the locals through the customs of tree masts across the country and expressed their desire to express their reputation. The mast folk is also called the mast. Interestingly, because the mast of the white Buddha Temple leaving a special and niche post -words. When he was a child, in the Wuhuang area, both sides of the villagers scolded. For example, one party scolded the "hammer", the other party deliberately harmonized: "Mast, White Buddha Temple". And now I understand: the mast you said, in the Bronze Bell White Buddha Temple. From the perspective of the technical level, this group of semi -relief mast stone carvings are engraved very rough and rude. It should be due to the hands of the local stonemith, and there is no historical slurry. Like Namie, this should be included in the category of the vulgar cultural category.

Relative to this vulgar is Da Ya. In the poems included by the "Arts and Wen Zhi" in the history of Ziyang's history, the poems of the literati scholars chanting the ancient monument of Ziyang in the past. Outside the Gujuelin Temple by the ancient post road of Chengyu, the third is the White Buddha Temple! The well -known ones are the "Baifu Temple (Two)" of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Mo's "Baifu Temple (Two)", the Ming Dynasty Chenghua Xin Chou Jinshi, and "Baifu Temple" in the direction of Ziyang Zhixian. Because it is closer to the era of creation, the White Buddha Temple seen in Fangzhi County is still "the eaves of the teeth, the bell and drums report the dusk", and the prosperous scene of a tile and Brahma bowl gong. In his "White Buddha Temple, the ancient Jinniuyi, the monument, and the half -leisure" in his "White Buddha Temple, the Golden Bull Post": Grass lying away from the dragon and snake. The light is still from Mo Xiao Han, whoever chooses the Buddhist house. The lonely mountain monk has no supply, and the spring tea is sold on the day. " Although it is a remnant macro, the light is shining in the evening, and there are still many poems in the grass. It can be seen from all over the ages that the White Buddha Temple has been a cool world of cigarettes and Dingjia for more than 300 years.

From the Ming Dynasty to the "Cultural Revolution", there has been no large -scale official extermination movement in China. When will the White Buddha Temple eventually destroy? However, it can be speculated that as a transit station on the post road, the white Buddha shop fades out of people's lives and vision with the end of the mission of Chengyu ancient post road. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the national gate opened, and the west wind gradually. Western modern technology gradually wakes up the Chinese brain. In 1886, the Qing government set up the first telegraph line from Chengdu to Chongqing along the Chengdu -Chongqing ancient post road. In a row of wooden electric poles that were painted by Tong, the villagers were called foreign piles. In the past, it became the modernization of remote countryside. Official documents, radio wave transmission, and the keyboard knocking, instantaneous miles. The first thing that New Technology was eliminated was the function of this ancient post -road post horse pass. This is the first loss of the Millennium Post Road.

Half a century later, the Lao Chengyu Highway Xiu Tong, the last transport logistics function of the ancient post road withdrew. The white Buddha pavement can no longer see the trace of the red -top green sedan and the back of the sentient beings. The hustle and bustle of the vertical shop followed the dead soul of the White Buddha Temple, silent in the wild smoke and grass, and watching clouds and flowers and flowers in the day.

After the post road function is over, this powerful and stubborn place name cannot be grinded. Most of the posts, shops, and shops along the way are rooted in the people's brains and hearts with large and small place names. For more than 100 years, they have survived strongly with cultural symbols. The place names with a more remote place gradually become smaller and disappeared. For example, Yangliu Shop, Laojunpu, and White Buddha Shop in Yanjiang District. Not to mention the well -known Longquanyi, Nanjinyi. The white Buddha shop next to the water and land dock should be like Qingquan Shop and the golden belt shop. It exists in the gesture of the countryside. What is puzzling is why the white Buddha shop that once set up the Taurus post was exited so clean? This needs to return to the previous article to say that the relationship between "White Buddha Shop" and "White Buddha Temple" and Tongzhonghe.

There is a beautiful legend in the local area: the old monk of this White Buddha Temple made a dream one night, and the dream said that one day of the Mount Emei Mountain had a bronze bell to be sent to the temple, and the people in the temple will open the temple gate to welcome the greeted by the temple gate to welcome Essence One night, the wind was full of wind, the electric flashes were thunderous, the rain was pouring, and the monks were all frightened. They quickly closed the doors and windows, and fell asleep. But at this time, the bronze clock of Mount Emei was sent and hit the temple door hard. The bronze bell hit for a long time, and no one knew, and helplessly fell into the river in front of the door. Later, Mount Emei sent two gods to bring the rope to hang the bronze bell from the river. Who knew that an elder said: Your rope can hang the clock like that hemp sugar? He said that the rope was really broken, and the bell was not hanging, and the two gods became butterflies flying away. So far, the incarnation of the two butterflies is still visible in the river. Over time, people call this river as Tongzhong River.

For these so -called spiritual legends in the religious world, I have always smiled. But in this legend, at least two valuable information revealed: First, finally tied the two places names of the White Buddha Temple and the Bronze Bell River together, and the other was the name of the Tongzhong. It is the 16th year of Ming Wanli (1588) later. Prior to this, either only the white Buddha shop and the white Buddha temple did not have the town of the bronze bell, or the town is also not called the bronze bell. Perhaps the ancient name of this town is simply that the white Buddha shop is not known at all. Essence This can explain why the "Ziyang County Chronicle" before the Republic of China could not see the shadow of the copper bell place name.

In modern history, Tongzhonghe had an incident that appeared in the 1993 edition of "Ziyang County" in the name of celebrities. It was June 5, 1923, and later became the Marshal of the Republic and Liu Bocheng, who was the Sichuan army officer, The story of fighting against the Tongzhong River with Beiyang warlord Wu Peifu's army was a strong cultural foundation for the little bronze bell. At the beginning of the founding of the Republic, Tongzhonghe had a short -term history of districts. According to the number of Ziyang County, the ninth district of Ziyang County at that time. After the abolition, I lost a chance to develop side by side with the water and land docks such as Nanjin and Linjiang. However, for a long time, because of its special geography and location advantages, it has made it the premier hometown in the eight communities of the original Huangshen District. In 1992, the town was withdrawn, and Tongzhong Township merged into the town of the army. It was easy to move. The former Taurus Post now became a village -level town in Yanjiang District. It can be imagined that the more you go, it will be drifting away, and every time he is, in the future historical book, you want to find the reputation of the white Buddha shop. The people of the Tongzhong River were in the vicissitudes of the sea.

Administrative divisions can be adjusted, and the appearance of mountains and rivers will not be discolored. By the Bronze Bell River, the trembling of the Minjiang River in the south is still the same. When the cauliflower is yellow, Zhongba becomes a distant literature and photography enthusiast about the expectations and thoughts of the spring of the Tongzhong River. Cultural bronze bells are like beauties with knowledge. No matter how old, they still have charm.
