The trip to X City is over.The Su family's family heirloom compass, Su Jiu himself got it in his hand.Although it is said that in the middle of this, I met the Khitans and had some accidents, but, on the whole, it was quite smooth.Hop on the high-speed rail.Su Jiu's destination is not Xiang City.This time, please ask Zhao Lao to take a week's leave.The trip to X City, full of three days, is enough, and there are still seven days.I have to go somewhere else.That's right, that's Nanyue.Every year on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, it is the temple fair held in Nanyue Temple.For ordinary people, this is actually just an ordinary temple fair, but for the feng shui world, it is a great event in the feng shui world.Why do you say that the temple fair of a temple can involve the entire feng shui world First of all, this has to start with Nanyue Temple.Nanyue Temple is known as the "Three Uniques of the South of the Yangtze River" for its excellent woodcarving, stone carving and clay sculpture.At the same time, with 800 dragons as the biggest feature, no matter the beams and pillars of the temple, the eaves, or the pillar base, the god seat, and even the door frame, the bucket arch, the dragons with different expressions can be seen everywhere, it turns out that there are 800 dragons protecting the legend of Nanyue here since ancient times.This stone arch bridge, called "Shoujian" bridge, under the bridge is Shoujian water, it is rumored that "taking the water of Yue Mountain can prolong life", because Nanyue is Shoushan, Shouyue, so this bridge is named because of water.Legend has it that if anyone can cross this bridge in three steps, they will live a long life.Nanyue Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty at the beginning, after six dynasties, 17 times of renovation, to get today's scale, all the monks of all dynasties came here to preach the scriptures and preach the Dharma.At the end of the North Street of Nanyue Ancient Town under Nanyue Mountain, sit in the north and face south, there is Shoujian Water in front, there is the Red Emperor Temple in the back, the temple site is rectangular, built in the thirteenth year of Tang Kaiyuan, after experiencing six fires, after expansion and repair, the existing scale was laid.The main building complex of the central axis has a total of nine entrances, which completely imitates the construction of the imperial palace model, and is the largest existing palace-style ancient building complex in the south of our country, so it is called the "Forbidden City of the Southern Kingdom".Nanyue Temple was built in the early Tang Dynasty and has a history of at least 1,300 years.The vicissitudes of wind and rain, the cycle of reincarnation, how many emperors have turned into dirt, how many heroes have returned to the rivers and lakes, and the Nanyue Temple is still red walls and yellow tiles, Cui Bai Sensen, all living beings gather, incense curling, this can not but be said to be a miracle.The temple was the carrier of the ancient sacrificial service, which inevitably attracted the attention of the emperor.In addition to regular sacrifices, ceremonies have always been held for the enthronement of the royal family, birthdays, disasters, or the prosperity of the country, the victory of wars, floods, droughts, and insect disasters.This kind of sacrifice, the emperor has to personally inquire, Hanlin Yuan wrote a blessing, and sent court officials to make a special trip to Nanyue to pay tribute.The god of Nanyue is the "Holy Emperor of Nanyue", one says that its god name is Zhu Rongshi, one says that its god name is Zeguang, and so on.In short, "Nanyue Holy Emperor" is the largest Bodhisattva in Nanyue, tall, mighty, sacred, solemn, representing God in observing, thinking, hinting, with mortals impossible to achieve great wisdom, big mind, big vision, everything in the world, clear in the chest, thinking through the ages, predicting the future.Therefore, whether it is high-ranking officials and nobles, ordinary people or even the emperor, they are all in awe of him.This specific "need background" determines the future of Nanyue Temple, which must remain relatively stable and can continue to develop.Historically, the Nanyue Temple has been destroyed by fire many times, and has been rebuilt, repaired and expanded many times.It can be said that the temple history of Nanyue Temple is not only a history of sacrifice, but also a history of fighting against natural disasters.The reason why the temple fair of Nanyue Temple has become a grand event in the feng shui world is due to the particularity of Nanyue Temple.In China, although Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism have different beliefs
