Hongshan Waterfall is located in Quanzhou, Fujian. Hongshan Township is more than 600 meters above sea level. The average annual temperature is 4 to 6 degrees Celsius lower than that of the urban area. The air is fresh and the summer and autumn are cool. The meandering stream flows down from the cliff of more than 80 meters, and the splashing water mist forms a circle of beautiful rainbows under the sunlight, hence the name of Hongshan Waterfall. He Qiaoyuan, a well-known local historian in ancient my country, traveled to this place, and wrote a poem, "The red sun shines on the sky and the earth, and the flying snow is white; the Taoist occasionally comes here, and the thunder is not surprised." The ancient trees around the waterfall are towering and varied. There are vigorous and straight ancient pine trees and ancient camphor trees that can only be hugged by three people.

Two huge rocks stand against each other near the temple, between them a stone gate. The precipice on the north side of the stone gate is like a giant shield.

Quanzhou Kaiyuan Temple - The heavenly king hall, also the mountain gate of the temple, was built in 1925. The stone pillars are slightly thinner at the top and bottom, thicker in the middle, shaped like a shuttle, reflecting the Tang dynasty stone pillar style. A wooden couplet hangs on the stone pillars, reading "This place is called the land of Buddha, where every street is filled with saints." It was composed by Zhu Xi, a great Neo-Confucian scholar of the Southern Song dynasty, and written by the modern eminent monk Hongyi.

South Shaolin Temple

7.6

4.7/5

676 reviews

First built during the Longshuo era and abandoned in the Tianyou era. According to Cai Yongjian's "Xishan magazine" from the Qing Dynasty, which cited the Tang Dynasty's "Minzhong records," before the first year of Longshuo in the Tang Dynasty (661 AD), "Zhikong entered Minzhong and built the Shaolin Temple at the foot of Qingyuan Mountain, consisting of thirteen courtyards." "The Shaolin Temple had thirteen sections, surrounded by walls three zhang high, with vast fields and lush forests." "Beside the celestial altar stood the Shaolin Temple, where Zen master Zhikong met with Governor Wang at the celestial altar." Zhikong (styled Daoguang) was one of the thirteen staff-wielding monks from the Songshan Shaolin Temple renowned for saving the Tang emperor. His arrival in Min marked the beginning of martial monks in Fujian, and he trained twelve disciples—some capable of capturing tigers or lifting massive cauldrons, others skilled in wielding heavy crossbows, mastering chain hammers, or moving with extraordinary speed... The "Minzhong records" also states: In the first year of the Tang Tianyou era (907), "the Shaolin Temple rebelled against Wang Shenzhi's allegiance to the Liang Dynasty and was destroyed." Shi Mengshuo of the Southern Song Dynasty wrote in his "Donglu poetry collection": "The Shaolin Temple was built in Qingyuan, with ten grand gates and towering walls; a hundred acres of fields across three ridges, where a thousand monks practiced martial arts to rebel against the Wang regime." The "Wang regime" refers to the Min King Wang Shenzhi. Wang Shenzhi's destruction of the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou marks its first destruction. Prospered during the Taiping Xingguo era and declined during the Zhiyuan era The "Xishan magazine" records that in the sixth year of the Taiping Xingguo era of the Northern Song Dynasty (981 AD), an imperial decree was issued to rebuild the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. This marked the second revival of the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. Liu Changyan of the Northern Song Dynasty wrote in his poem: "The legacy of Qingyuan was built during the Xingguo era, the Shaolin spirit pervades throughout southern Quanzhou." "Xingguo" refers to the reign era of Emperor Taizong of Song, Taiping Xingguo (976–983). A copy of the Zhang family genealogy preserved in Donghu village, Dongqiao town, Hui'an county, states: "Shizhi, styled Fayi, renowned for stone carving, his craftsmanship was unparalleled, such as the stone lions in front of the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou..." Zhang Shizhi was the younger brother of Zhang Shixun, a figure from the Song Dynasty, indicating his involvement in carving the stone lions at the entrance of the Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou during the Song Dynasty. Northern Song Dynasty records document that the South Shaolin Temple originally comprised a mountain gate, Mahavira Hall, dharma hall, Bodhidharma ancestral hall, thirteen halls, arhat hall, xuannü hall, scripture repository, heavenly king hall, Guanyin hall, Ksitigarbha hall and other supporting facilities, covering 400 mu of land. During the 2002 reconstruction of the heavenly king hall, over 40 stone temple components were excavated underground, including 1 pagoda base, 1 pagoda cover, 7 finials resembling those of Yinggeng Pagoda at Chengtian Temple, 4 stone caps, 4 column bases, 6 stone pillars, and notably 20 intact mortise stones measuring 1 m in diameter - all testifying to the temple's grand architectural scale. Numerous roof tiles and covers were also unearthed. Experts speculate these components likely belonged to the Quanzhou South Shaolin Temple's structures during the Tang and Song dynasties. During the peak periods of the Tang and Song dynasties, the temple housed thousands of martial monks. The "Xishan magazine · general records" also records: "In the first year of the Song Jingyan era (Yuan Dynasty's Zhiyuan 13th year, 1276), a thousand monks from the Qingyuan Shaolin Temple rebelled against Pu Shougeng's surrender to the Yuan Dynasty. The abbot of the Shaolin Temple, Yuan Miao... commonly known as Zhao Mengliang... (Yuan troops) pursued them to the Shaolin Temple... The vanguard, Qi Wotunsi, known for his cruelty, ordered an assault on the Shaolin Temple, provoking the fury of the thousand monks. Amidst the clash of swords, each monk fought like ten, leaving Yuan soldiers' corpses strewn across the east of Qingyuan city, with bones littering the fields. When Suodu arrived, he ordered arrows to be shot, killing most of the thousand monks, with only a hundred surviving... The survivors fled to Dehua (Daiyun Temple)." This marks the second destruction of the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. In the mid-Ming dynasty, Li Sen (born in 1398), a wealthy philanthropist from Anxi, funded the purchase of large tracts of wasteland on Dongyue Mountain to establish charitable burial grounds for the free interment of remains by Quanzhou residents. These burial sites appear to have been the same wastelands where the Shaolin Temple was destroyed after its thousand monks resisted the Yuan dynasty in the late Southern Song period. Prospered during the Hongwu era and declined during the Qianlong era The "Xishan magazine" records: In the tenth year of the Hongwu era of the Ming Dynasty (1377 AD), Faben of the Xuanmiao Temple (a Shaolin monk who fled to Dehua after the resistance of a thousand monks against the Yuan Dynasty in the late Song period, aged 135) persuaded the local official Huang Zhongli to "petition the court for imperial approval to rebuild the Shaolin Temple." The monks then spread martial arts throughout southern Quanzhou. This marked the third revival of the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. The Annals of Jinjiang County, Volume 69, from the Daoguang era of the Qing Dynasty records: "The South Shaolin Temple is located by the East Lake outside Renfeng... It was rebuilt in the 10th year of the Xuande era (1435) during the Ming Dynasty, but later fell into disrepair. Monks restored one-tenth of its original site and also enshrined County Magistrate Peng Guoguang, as Peng had helped monks reclaim temple lands." In the book "Records of Shaolin warrior monks" by master Deqian of the Shaolin Temple on Mount Song (published by Beijing Sports University Press, 1988), it is stated: "According to the 'Internal Chronicles of Shaolin Temple,' monk Yuanran possessed extraordinary martial arts skills and was commended by Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty (reigned 1522-1566). His eminent disciple, master Yuekong, was ordered to lead over 30 warrior monks who had proven their skills to Quanzhou, Fujian, to suppress Japanese pirates and establish merits. There, they built the South Shaolin Temple, where he became the abbot." This confirms that the "Internal Chronicles of Shaolin Temple" from the northern Shaolin Temple clearly records the existence of a South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou during the Ming Dynasty, while the claim of it being newly built is a misconception. To this day, southern Fujian still circulates stories of northern Shaolin warrior monks suppressing Japanese pirates. During the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Qianlong toured southern China and feared that the warrior monks of the South Shaolin Temple might collude with the remnants of Zheng Chenggong (see "Quanzhou biographical records: Zheng Chenggong"). "In the fall of the 28th year of Qianlong's reign (1763), an imperial decree ordered the burning of the Shaolin Temple... From then on, no one dared to rebuild it." Some temple monks took refuge at Yipian Temple in Nan'an. This marks the third destruction of the South Shaolin Temple in Quanzhou. After the burning of Shaolin Temple, the monk Zhishan sought refuge among the people, continuing to recruit Shaolin disciples to oppose the Qing dynasty and restore the Ming. Zhishan, Hong Xiguan, and their disciples spread to Guangdong, further developing Southern Shaolin boxing, which produced the Southern Shaolin boxing champion Wong Fei-hung. Later, Wong Fei-hung's disciples brought the art to Hong Kong and spread it as far as the United States.

Longhua Temple was first built in the third year of Chuigong in Tang Dynasty (687), and was given the name "Longhua Wanshou Temple" in the early year of Tang Xuanzong's high school (847). During the reign of Song Tiansheng, Renzong ordered the monk Xuejing of Longhua Temple to preach in Beijing. After returning to the temple, the scale of the building was expanded. From Song Shaoxing years to Yuan to Shun years, Longhua Temple was destroyed and rebuilt several times. By Yuanzhen period of Yuan Dynasty, Longhua Temple had become the largest jungle in Xianyou County, governing 11 courtyards and 77 nunneries. At that time, there were more than 1,000 monks and nuns in the county, and Longhua Temple had nearly 500 monks. From the end of the Yuan Dynasty to the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Longhua Temple rose and fell for four times. Especially in the 43rd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, Japanese pirates invaded, temples were destroyed and monks scattered, and it was desolate. It was rebuilt during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty and the Shunzhi and Kangxi years of the Qing Dynasty. Later, the Longhua Temple was abandoned several times. From the late 1880s to the early 1990s (1988-1992), the overseas monk Shi Guangjing donated 550,000 yuan to rebuild Longhua Temple, which has now been completely renovated and has become the residence of the Buddhist Association in Xianyou County. The Longhua Twin Pagodas are on both sides of the front of Longhua Temple. According to "Longhua Temple Chronicles", during the Daguan period of the Northern Song Dynasty, Guo Yong, a native of Yi, donated to build the East Pagoda for his mother's 70th birthday, and prayed for his mother's 80th birthday to build the West Pagoda. After ten years, Guo Yong donated to build the West Pagoda. . Therefore, the Longhua Twin Pagodas stand in front of Longhua Temple, with a history of more than 890 years, nearly a hundred years earlier than the East and West Pagodas of Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou. The twin-tower building is an octagonal five-story hollow stone structure with a height of 44.8 meters. The base of the tower is the Xumi seat, which is supported by the stone-carved Lishi King Kong. There are stone-carved general guards on the east and west sides of the bottom floor. Each floor has four doors and four niches, and the positions are exchanged layer by layer. to the top of the tower. The eaves of the tower are all made of stone strips and are wavy; each tower edge is facing the wave peak of the tower eaves, which resembles the eaves of an ancient building, which is extremely spectacular. Climbing to the top of the tower, looking at the Longhua Plain, you can see that the good places are adjacent to each other, the cottages are close by, the streams and canals are white, and the green trees are continuous. There is a scene of a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. Whenever the sun sets in the evening, the twin towers are covered with gold, and the shadows of the towers accompany the smoke from the farmhouse on Longhua Street.

It was quite a show. Even though the performance conflicted with my schedule, I still made time to see it. Chinese martial arts, starting from a young age, has a long history and is very meaningful. Quanzhou is truly a wonderful place, blessed with beautiful scenery and talented people. Due to time constraints, I didn't have a chance to properly see the other sights of Shaolin Temple. I'll definitely visit again next time.

Longhua Temple in Xianyou is accessible by bus, so it is convenient for independent tourists. It is a free scenic spot, and there are two or three hours of rest at noon, and it is closed. In addition to the regular halls, there are two towers on the left and right, and there are some statues of people in the arches of the towers. There is a Buddhist school at the innermost part of the temple, which is not open to the public. There are some courtyards on both sides that are under renovation, and I believe they will be more beautiful in the future.
