Shizhu Temple in Renshou County

In Fujia Town, Renshou County, Meishan City, in addition to Baita Temple, Di Palace and several conventions, Shizhu Temple is also worth visiting.

When it comes to Shizhu, I must be interested in those standing stones. But first of all, what we imagined is the place name of Shizhu Temple, Jiuquan Village.

Jiuquan Village is named after nine spring wells in the territory.

Spring, the pureness of the sweetness, the rhyme of clear. Imagine, how can one side nourish and nourish the nourishment and nourishment of the nine -stock clear spring be beautiful and grain?

Shizhu Temple was founded in the late Ming Dynasty and was located in the half -mountainside of groups in Jiuquan Village. Bamboo trees are reflected, quiet and pleasant. Perhaps because the columns in the temple are made of stones, so that although the stone pillar temple is full of wind and frost, it is still majestic and spectacular of the year.

Looking at this ancient temple, the courtyard walls of stone steps, stone pillars, green tiles, and wooden structures have been immersed in the vicissitudes of time, and each place tells the ancient and heavy.

The temple hall is divided into the main hall and the lower hall, with the guest hall on both sides. There are more than a dozen Buddha statues in the hall. Those murals on the wall are the most eye -catching. Although most of them have been weathered off and blurred, the exquisite eighteen Luo Han maps are still faintly visible.

Liao Guiwen, an 80 -year -old man who lives next to Shizhu Temple, recalled that before, there were three huge osmanthus trees, a yellow Ge tree and several tower cypresses outside the stairs outside Shizhu Temple. When the osmanthus flowers bloom in August of the lunar calendar, the fragrance is fragrant and refreshing. It is said that as long as the breeze passes, the aroma of osmanthus can be smelled far around Shizhu Temple. On both sides of the stone steps, there is a sip of Quanjing, which has not yet dried up.

So where is the other Qikouquan well? The old man said that he might be buried and could not be found. that's too regretful! We couldn't help sighing. But we soon were attracted by the strange phenomenon described by the elderly. It is said that as long as there is one dried up, the others will dry up as long as there is a bite. In this way, the two sides of the stone ladder have not dried up, and the other Qikouquan well will not dry up?

In an instant, we seemed to hear the sound of spring water buried on the ground, the sound of spring water flowing. This spring water is still infiltrated with Jiuquan Village, making it a blessing place.

However, at this time, we have some curiosity in our minds: how did these nine spring wells be formed? Is it natural or artificial? It was learned by many parties that because of the stems in ancient times, the people here were very difficult to eat water. One day, a monk who traveling passed here, seeing this germinated with mercy, and decided to stay to help you solve this problem. As a result, the monks selected the site in the nine best positions and mobilized the people to dig out water. In this way, Jiuquanjing was born, and Ganmei's spring water nourished from generation to Jiuquan.

As for why Quanjing dried up, it would be unknown.
