The main buildings are brick and wood structures, cornices, beams and columns, sculptures of shrines in temples, etc., which are exquisite, vivid, exquisite and elegant and have typical artistic characteristics of Taoist architecture in Hubei. Pavilion-style temple, the highest point of this view, is dedicated to Fuxi, Shennong and Xuanyuan, the ancestors of China, with the God of Wealth on the left and Guanyin Bodhisattva on the right. Upstairs is the Jade Emperor Pavilion, dedicated to the Jade Emperor.
Fuxi had an insight into the restraint of Yin and Yang in all things. He painted innate gossip and Shennong, that is, Yan Di, the Vulcan god who grows grains and tastes herbs. He used animal bones as needles and animal skins and barks as clothes. He is the ancestor of Chinese civilization, an ancient doctor and the founder of agriculture. Xuanyuan, also known as the Yellow Emperor, was the earliest emperor in history. He speculated on the calendar, taught people to develop writing, worked as a cadre and created medicine. His book Huangdi Neijing is the earliest basic document of TCM. According to legend, in ancient times, this place was called "Song Dao" because there were many pine trees. Chu worships witches and has a great influence. Therefore, after the Qin and Han Dynasties, this place was called "Xiannong altar", "altar" and "Taiji Palace", that is, the place where governors sacrificed heaven and earth and ancestors. It is said that Laozi, the ancestor of Taoism, went to Lufu to meet the five elders at the invitation of his disciples. When he arrived in Ezhou, south of the Yangtze River, he turned west to Changsong Island, which is the hometown of lakes and ports and the foothills of Shuangfeng Mountain. To commemorate him, people called this pine island Changsong Island and built an ancient uterus to commemorate it. In the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhu truly recorded this treasure trove of geomantic omen in his "Ezhou State Altar": "Huanggu Mountain in the east of the city is a wasteland. Ten feet from east to west, the difference between north and south, painted as four altars according to the five rituals of politics. "
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Qiu Chuji, the founder of Quanzhen Dragon Sect, was named Changchunzi, who created the ten-square jungle system of Taoism, and was repeatedly praised by Genghis Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, and was in charge of Taoism in the world. So Qiu Chuji sent his disciples to Wuhan, the land of Jinghu Lake, to set up a Taoist temple jungle. Disciples built Changchun Temple in Song Dao to worship the real people in Changchun. Every year, the 19th day of the first lunar month is the real Christmas in Changchun, and a grand autumn ancestor meeting will be held in Changchun Temple. Wuhan folks call it "Spring Festival" and "Alcohol and Tobacco Festival". Kong, the author of Peach Blossom Fan, wrote "Ci of Alcohol, Tobacco and Bamboo Branches" for this reason: "It is a star bridge walking in the clouds, and a true fairy is like a knot in the heart", describing this grand occasion. In the Ming Dynasty, on his birthday, Zhu Zhen, King of Zhao Chu, went to Changchun Pass in Huang Hu to pray for his father Zhu Yuanzhang's longevity, and changed this mountain to Changchun Mountain with the word "Changchun Pass". Wang Baixin, a poet in the Qing Dynasty, said in "Poems of Deer in Spring": "Mountains and rivers are easy to rob the ashes, and the wonders are open to the public; The son-in-law Qiongtai is still ethereal, and death is golden, so it is empty. " It is said that Changchun Temple has experienced several wars, repairs and historical vicissitudes. During the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, Changchun Temple was a "fairy, a masterpiece of Hubei jungle, with thousands of friends and splendid incense". Before liberation, the full set of Ming Orthodox Taoist Scriptures was one of the four remaining books in China. Qian Daxin, a famous phonologist, came to Changchun Temple to read Taoist scriptures on 1774 (the thirty-ninth year of Qing Qianlong) and wrote the Preface to the Three Holes of Xuanhua in Laicheng Tower. At this time, Changchun Temple is known as "the famous area of the Chujiang River, where Taoist priests gather and Huang Guan converts". Zhang was a barrister who lectured at Baiyunguan Temple in Beijing in 1865 (four years of Tongzhi). He was invited by Benxian and Changchun Temple to give lectures at the altar. 1952, Gao Sixian, the 22nd generation of Longmen authentic Buddhist monk who became a monk in Longzhen Town, Tianmen County, joined hands with Hou Yongde in prison to preach the precepts, with 454 disciples. Li presented a "Great Wish" plaque, and Xiao Vietnam presented a "On both sides of the road" plaque.
Changchun Temple is located at the intersection of Wuchang, and Guan Yu Tower has been rebuilt by soldiers many times. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Army and the Qing Army fought for Wuchang City three times, with Changchun Temple as the commander in chief. Because the Taiping Army believed in Christianity and regarded Buddhism and Taoism as heresies, it destroyed Changchun Temple and Baotong Temple. Guan Burning, the official document of the imperial envoys of Hubei Province in Qing Dynasty, is the best witness;
The ancient scenery is burning, as if the years have passed. Ask who planted violets in the fire. The spring breeze is cold, with two peaks and trees, and thousands of plumes of smoke.
Every meaning of vicissitudes of life has increased experience, and I want to find a fairy in the cave.
I was destined to come back here, back to the ferry.
1864, He Hechun, the 16th-generation master of Longmen, made a wish from Wudang Mountain, received official documents and donations from Li Shizong, a military commander in the south of the Yangtze River, and carried out a large-scale renovation, which made Changchun Temple "look strict and return to the old view".
Changchun view also has a brilliant page in the history of modern China revolution. The planners of the early "Xinhai Revolution" lived here under the cover of Taoist temple to plan the uprising. 1926, the Ye Ting Independent Division of the Northern Expeditionary Army was stationed in Changchun Temple, and its front headquarters was located in san huang Temple. Guo Moruo, deputy director of the General Political Department of the National Revolutionary Army, once stayed in the temple. Deng was in charge of the war here, and his sleeve was pierced by bullets. Russian translator Ji Defu died. Therefore, Guo Moruo shed tears to mourn the hero of the Northern Expedition:
A bullet went through his head and chest, and his heart was calm.
The Spring Festival outside Binyang Gate is reserved for Guan Tong.
