The cars on Blackstone Road and Heishen Road in Shijingshan circled up the mountain, and the mountain road was quiet. The car stopped quietly by the side of the road and saw the stone bridge.
This is an ancient bridge called Wanshan Bridge.
This bridge is naturally associated with Shuangquan Temple. Shuangquan Temple is one of the eight water institutes in Jin Zhangzong. This bridge was specially built by Jin Zhangzong when he came to Shuangquan Temple for summer vacation. In the seventh year of Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty (1494), a monument was erected for this bridge. During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Shuangquan Temple was renamed "Wanshan Bridge" when it was renovated. Commonly known as "Shuangquan Bridge".
The ancient bridge is not grand, but it looks tall and handsome in the place surrounded by green trees and green mountains. The ditch under the bridge has dried up.
Crossing the bridge eastbound is a dense forest, and tourists come across, saying that they can accompany them to the Eighth National Congress.
The stone bridge between the villages is quite legendary. Located in Cuiwei Mountain in the west of Beijing, it is the only way to worship the Tiantai Mountain "Tsz Shan Monastery". According to legend, before the bridge was built, the black dragon ditch under the bridge was full of turbid water and was often flooded. Many believers and pilgrims who go to Tsz Shan Monastery every year drown here. After the bridge was built, the black dragon was stopped and was safe from then on.
I walked back and forth twice on the bridge and went back to the road where I stopped at the west of the bridge.
Backed by the hillside, two towering cypresses guard a Buddhist shrine.
According to the data, it is called "bridging and painting Buddha". In the old days, people went to Shuangquan Temple after worshipping and painting Buddha, and then went to Tsz Shan Monastery to make pilgrimages.
The niche of grey brick and golden tile looks rough, but the carved Buddha statue on the cliff inside is not rough. If you look closely, it is somewhat ancient and profound.
Put the car here, climb the mountain and go to the Shuangquan Temple above.
Last time I went to Shuangquan Temple, I came down from Tsz Shan Monastery. This time it was just the opposite.
I thought it was a farmhouse with food and shelter, but it wasn't.
Radishes are planted on the roadside, fresh and tender, and have the urge to pull them up.
I saw Shuangquan Temple.
The cause of the epidemic, the door is closed. I tried to follow two monks in, but I was stopped.
Shuangquan Temple was founded in an unknown age. There is an inscription saying that "there is Er Quan in the mountains and Gutian in the Tang Dynasty", which shows that there is one in the Tang Dynasty.
In the fifth year of Ming Chang in Jin Zhangzong (1 194), Yiqi Temple took a summer vacation and built a prayer tower in the north of the temple.
In the second year of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (1427), Danengren Temple was ordered as the lower house, and Shuangquan Temple became the royal temple leading Buddhism in China. After his death, the Buddha was buried on the hillside of Shuangquan Temple and built a stupa.
In the fifth year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1469), Shuangquan Temple was rebuilt and Pan Xiang Temple was given by Xianzong.
In the first year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1522), Pan Xiang Temple was rebuilt, the name of Shuangquan Temple was restored, and a monument was erected for the record.
During the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, Wei Liu, the deputy general manager of Empress Dowager Cixi, made it convenient for Cixi to make a pilgrimage and rebuild the fragrant road, and took this opportunity to change the Hongshan Miaozhi Buddhist Pagoda into his own villa, still named "Shuangquan Temple".
In 20 10, the abbot of Beijing Lingguang Temple once hid a big monk and came here to revive the Dojo. According to historical records, after rigorous restoration, it was finally completed according to traditional architectural techniques, which lasted for three years. On August 20 13, Shuangquan Temple was officially registered as a venue for religious activities, and the opening ceremony of the venue for religious activities was held in the Buddhist community of Shijingshan.
I found a photo on the internet before I repaired it, and I can see that this place is beautiful!
Looking for a panoramic view on the internet, we can see that the temple is surrounded by houses in the village and has lost that ancient and quiet feeling.
There used to be a tea shed in front of Shuangquan Temple, where pilgrims and people who came here for an outing could have a cup of fragrant Shuangquan tea and have a rest.
I'm still not allowed to get in today, but I've been turned away twice.
The wild flowers on the roadside are charming and lovely.
