From Lubaoyuan to Qibao Temple

Speaking of the formation of the Seven Treasures, we should first talk about two famous writers in the Jin Dynasty, Lu Ji and Lu Yun. Lu Ji was born in AD 26 1 year, and Lu Yunsheng was born in AD 262, but both brothers were killed by Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu in AD 303. They are all from Huating, Wu Jun (now Songjiang District, Shanghai).

Lu Ji and Lu Yun were born in Wu Dong during the Three Kingdoms period. Grandfather Lu Xun was the right governor, prefect, prime minister and marquis. His father, general, yes, general, like Fu, led Jingzhou animal husbandry. After the Three Kingdoms returned to Jin, Lu Ji and Lu Yun were tolerated by the Emperor of Jin, and they studied hard in their hometown Huating for ten years, gradually becoming famous. Both brothers have made great achievements in poetry and prose, and are known as "two places in the cloud". Since the "Eight Kings Rebellion" in the Jin Dynasty, Lu Ji and Lu Yun have not suffered much, and only when they are forgiven can they be spared. Later, it was returned to Sima Ying, the king of Chengdu. In the second year of Taian, Wang Siju of Wang Ying, Chengdu and Hejian fought Wang Fan in Changsha. Lu Ji was appointed commander-in-chief of the vanguard. Because of the defeat, he was falsely accused by Meng Jiu brothers and Lu Zhi in Wang Ying, Chengdu, and was secretly admitted to the army. Three tribes were killed at the same time, when Lu Ji was 43 and Lu Yun was 42. Lu Ji once sighed: "If you want to smell the posture of the crane, can you get it back?" In this way, the famous generation of literature in the Western Jin Dynasty died in the war disaster.

Lu Ji and Lu Yun were literary giants at that time. At that time, Lu Yun was known as "the word is rich and elegant", and Lu Ji was even more "a genius is rare, and the article is unparalleled in the world". Unfortunately, both of them were victims of the power struggle of the ruling class at that time, leaving only the allusion of "graceful and restrained".

After Erlu was killed by Sima Ying, later generations set up a shrine in Songjiang, named Lu Baoyuan. This hospital is located in Lubaoshan, Songjiang, near Wusong River. The establishment of Lubao Courtyard paved the way for the formation of Qibao Town in the early Song Dynasty.

From Lubaoyuan to Qibao Temple, it has gone through a long historical process. The exact construction time of Lubao Garden is unknown. Later, Lu Baoyuan changed his name to Lu Baoan, and because of the tooth bank of Wusong River, Lu Baoan moved three times, after the Eastern Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, Sui and Tang Dynasties and sixteen countries, nearly 600 years, until the Five Dynasties and Ten Countries. Divide the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms into a historical stage. Because Qibao Temple was officially named in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

"Songjiang Prefecture Records" and "Qingpu County Records" record the formation of the seven treasures: "The seven treasures were originally in Lubaoshan. King Cijin of wuyue collected scriptures and said,' This is a treasure', so he changed his name to Qibao. Later, when I was in town, I took this name. " In a short sentence, I pointed out the origin of the seven treasures. The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms is a historical turning point between the Tang and Song Dynasties. From 907 to 93 1 year, King Qian Liu of wuyue was in power. Qian Liu, king of wuyue, went to see Lu Baoan and gave him a blue paper Lotus Sutra that had been printed with gold powder for five years, saying,' This is a treasure'. Therefore, Lu Baoan was renamed Qibao Temple.

It must be noted here that Qibao Temple was named after the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and moved to the north of Puhuitang three times at the same time. But the scale is very small, just a general Buddhist temple.

[Edit this paragraph] Shezhai Tuo Temple in Zhang Ze in the early Song Dynasty

Before Qibao Temple moved to the north of Puhui Hall, it seems impossible to know what happened on both sides of Puhui Hall, because there is no record. However, there are records in Puxi Xiaozhi, which can provide us with reference to demonstrate the formation period of the two sides of Puhuitang. "Dongzha Xiaoshi Bridge is in the west, south along the west bank of Hengli River, which is South Hengli Street. Go south through Dingjiazhuang, … "Dingjiazhuang" and "Puxi Xiaozhi" here: "Dingjiazhuang is the Ding Jianyang mansion of the later Han Dynasty." Ding Jianyang was the adoptive father of Lu Bu, the general of the Three Kingdoms, which was also the basis for the formation of Qibao Town in the later Han Dynasty without place names.

Before Qibao Temple moved to the north of Puhuitang, people lived on this land from the later Han Dynasty, but there was no place name. At that time, there were Dingjiazhuang, maybe zhang jia zhuang and Wangjiazhuang. When Qibao Temple moved to the north of Puhuitang, Zhang Ze built a shack to expand the temple in the early Song Dynasty, which laid the foundation for the naming of Qibao.

There is no historical record about the specific situation of Zhang Ze, a native of the early Song Dynasty, but what is certain is that Zhang Ze was the landlord on the north bank of Puhuitang in the Song Dynasty and was an economically powerful figure. Judging from Zhang Ze's ability to give up his own house, this area was not an ordinary rural area at that time, and it already had the environment to produce people with considerable economic and political strength. Otherwise, a Wu family like Lu would not just choose his home in the north of Pratt & Whitney Hall.

The move of Qibao Temple to the north of Puhuitang also has a lot to do with the surrounding environment. There is Xianghua Lake in front of the temple, and the right temple pool lake turns to Hengli Port. On the left is Hengli Port. There are three bridges on Xianghuabang. There is water on all sides of the temple, which is connected with the Pratt & Whitney Hall. This special geographical environment was originally the homestead of Zhang Ze. Zhang Ze abandoned this land of geomantic omen and expanded Qibao Temple, which greatly changed the face of Qibao Temple, expanded to more than 1,000 Buddhist temples and monasteries, and made Qibao Temple have a certain scale in the north of Puhuitang in the early Song Dynasty.

[Edit this paragraph] Named after the temple.

Qibao Town is named after the temple.

Historical materials say: "The town has no old name, and the temple is named after it. The temple is not heavy because the town is heavy. " After the temple was built in Zhang Ze, in the first year of Song Xianggong (A.D. 1008), the emperor gave Qibao Temple, thus Qibao Town was officially named.

At that time, "Qibaojiao Temple" was known as "the first temple in the east of the county", covering an area of 60 mu and a temple river of 6 mu. The whole temple is surrounded by green water, with red walls and tiles, morning bells and drums, and cigarettes. The scenery is very beautiful. Hundreds of people from Fiona Fang were attracted to pay homage to Qibaojiao Temple, so pilgrims and scholars burned incense and worshipped Buddha, recited poems and painted pictures here, which made Qibaojiao Temple full of incense and people came and went, forming a very hot situation. The market town pattern was formed around Qibaojiao Temple, and Qibao Town had developed to a certain scale in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. At that time, Qibao Town was "a huge town with many residents, businessmen and scholars." The area on both sides of Puhuitang is named Qibao Town because of Qibao Temple.

In fact, in the history of China, many famous market towns and cities are inextricably linked with religion. For example, Nanxiang, Longhua, Fahua and Zhenru are all named after temples. From these aspects, the development of ancient towns in China and religion are complementary to each other to some extent. Some experts who study this problem point out that urban planning is influenced by religion and economy in the initial stage. So is the formation of Qibao Town.

After Qibao Town was named after the temple, Qibaojiao Temple "prospered because of the town". The development of Qibao Town here has a great influence on Qibao Temple. When Qibaojiao Temple was not moved, although there were no place names on both sides of Puhuitang, it was still a land of wealth, with merchants and literati. The economic and cultural development reached a certain stage from the end of Han Dynasty to the beginning of Song Dynasty, which laid a solid foundation for the prosperity of Ming and Qing Dynasties. When Qibao Temple moved to the north bank of Puhuitang, the name Qibao Town established the regional names on both sides of Puhuitang. Similarly, Qibaojiao Temple has gained greater prestige because of Qibao Town, and it has great influence on the whole land of Wuxian County.

[Edit this paragraph] Architectural evolution

According to "Puxi Xiaozhi", after Qibao Town was named in the early Song Dynasty, it only refers to the area north of Puhuitang. In the 14th year of Yuan Dynasty, Yuan Shizu belonged to Huating, and in the 15th year of Yuan Dynasty, it was changed to Songjiang Prefecture. In the 29th year of Yuan Dynasty, Huating County was divided into Shanghai County. At this time, Qibao Town belongs to Shanghai County. When he arrived in Hongwu, Ming Taizu, Songjiang Prefecture administered Huating and Shanghai. In the twenty-first year of Jiajing, Huating and Shanghai were placed under Qingpu County. Qibao Town at this time belongs to Qingpu County. By the first year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, with Puhuitang and Henglihe as the boundaries, Qibao Town belonged to Huating, and Shanghai and Qingpu counties were divided. Specifically, it is divided into Louxian in the south, Qingpu in the north and Shanghai County across Hengli River.

Although the three counties were divided, the geographical division of Qibao Town in Ming Dynasty was very clear. East to Hengjing (now xin jing Port), west to Xiaolangdi Port, north to Kannonji (Huqingping Highway) and south to Gusitu Temple (Gudai Road). After hundreds of years, this town has not changed much. However, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, why did one town govern three times? This shows from one side that Qibao was a place with developed economy and heavy taxes in Ming and Qing Dynasties. "Puxi Xiaozhi" said: "The land tax is millions, which is not under the control of one order", and it is reasonable to divide the seven treasures into three counties, each collecting taxes.

Qibao Town was formed from the end of Han Dynasty to the beginning of Song Dynasty. Qibao Town entered a period of development after it was named after a temple in the early Song Dynasty, and it flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Qibao is a thousand-year-old town, after its name, that is, Qibao Town is a thousand-year-old town left over from the Northern Song Dynasty.

[Edit this paragraph] Legend of Seven Treasures

Lu Ji and Lu Yun were famous writers in Jin Dynasty, and they were called "two places in the cloud". Lu's descendants once built an ancestral temple in Lubao Mountain on the Wusong River, formerly known as Lu Baoyuan, and later renamed it. During the Five Dynasties, Qian Liu, the king of Wu Yueguo, toured buddhist nun and presented Jin Ping Mei Jing, saying, "This is a treasure." Because it was renamed Qibao Temple. After the river landed, it moved to the north of Puhuitang. Zhang Ze was photographed in Zhaituo Temple, a native of Qibaoli in the early Song Dynasty. In the first year of Song Zhenzong Dazhong Xiangfu (A.D. 1008), he was conferred the title of Qibaojiao Temple. Zhiyun: "The town has no old name, because it is named after the temple. The temple is not heavy, because the town is heavy."

The history of Qibao stretches for thousands of years, which is proved by historical materials. However, there is a popular saying of "seven treasures", such as flying Buddha, bell, golden vase plum, sacred tree, golden rooster and jade chopsticks.

Flying Buddha is actually the Tathagata Iron Buddha in the Nanjiao Temple. Legend has it that it flew down from the sky, but it was actually raised by Xu Panyang, a native of Wan Li Town in the Ming Dynasty. Yunlaizhong was founded by the abbot of Qibao Temple in Yongle period of Ming Dynasty. Legend has it that it floated from the river. Jin Ping Mei Jing was written by Princess Qian Liu, King of wuyue, with gold powder. Catalpa is a thousand-year-old tree in the former Qibaojiao Temple. These four pieces are in kind. The legend of Yufu is related to the construction of Puhuitang Bridge. At the beginning of the bridge construction, it was difficult to close the arch. When all the craftsmen were at a loss, a white-haired old man picked up the bridge and threw an axe to cut meat under it to cushion the bridge foundation. Therefore, Tangqiao was built. Jade chopsticks say that the ancient emperor gave the hero a pair of jade chopsticks, which can ward off evil spirits and poison. The hero hid it in the east column of Jiangjia Bridge in the north of town, and it was stolen, leaving a pair of chopsticks on the column. Jinji said that there are seven barrels of gold and eight barrels of silver hidden under the high mud pier in the north of the town, guarded by Jinji, and the buried gold and silver must be excavated by nine sons and nine daughters.

The seven treasures and eight auspiciousness all come from Buddhism, which means good luck.

Seven treasures are often mentioned in Buddhism. In fact, Buddhism says that the seven treasures are divided into two categories, one is the seven treasures and the other is the seven treasures. Talking about the seven kinds of treasure refers to wheel treasure, elephant treasure, Ma Bao, jewelry, jade treasure, main treasure and point soldier treasure.
