Located in the hinterland of the Central Plains, Songshan Shaolin Temple is one of the treasure houses of stone carving art in China, and Shaolin Kung Fu has its own system. The most valuable murals in Shaolin Temple are the murals in the temple. The most famous ones are "Thirteen Stick Monks Save the King of Tang Dynasty" and "Five Hundred Arhats Pilutu". North shaolin in Songshan Mountain is a good place with both Zen and martial arts. In the early Tang Dynasty, thirteen monks of Shaolin Temple were rewarded by Emperor Taizong for their contributions to the Tang Dynasty. They got a thousand hectares of land and a water mill, and were called Shaolin monks and monk soldiers. Since then, Shaolin Temple has become famous all over the world and is known as the first temple in the world. By the Tang and Song Dynasties, Shaolin Temple had more than 4000 mu of land/kloc-0, 540 mu of temple foundation, more than 5000 temples and more than 2000 monks. Zen initiated by Dharma reached its peak in the Tang Dynasty and was the largest Buddhist sect in the Tang Dynasty. After going in, the first thing that attracted me was the children of Tagou Shaolin Martial Arts School. The tour guide said that there are nearly 20,000 students in Tagou Martial Arts School, which has already caught up with a university. You must pay attention to these taboos when entering Shaolin Temple. It's all said by the tour guide. When traveling in the temple, don't talk loudly, discuss or laugh, and don't walk around or disturb the things in the temple. In particular, it is forbidden to carve or carve statues. In case of Buddhist activities, stand quietly or leave quietly. The temple is quiet and the incense is strong. Naturally, it has its rules. Monks are a must-see for Shaolin Temple. There are monks performing in Shaolin Temple every day. The ticket for this performance is 30 yuan. There are several performances every day, which are performed in different periods.

At this time, Songshan Mountain in the distance is like a reclining Buddha.

It's crowded here, and there are some quiet places. A quiet place is usually a place where monks meditate and practice, and it is definitely a good place for Zen martial arts. It is said that it is useless to watch Jin Yong all over the world without Shaolin Temple. The teacher also visited Shaolin. The Beron stone tablet is also worth seeing, which is engraved with Li Hong's poems. It is said that Li Hong once prayed for rain on his way to Shaolin and named it the first ancient temple in the Millennium. He ordered Shaolin to "make a vow not to keep an appointment", which saved a lot of trouble. There are more than 10,000 books in the Buddhist Sutra Hall of Shaolin Temple, including China Tripitaka, Longji, Dazhengji and other classics. According to the inscription, this pavilion was built during the period from Yuan Dynasty to Zhengzhi (134 1- 1368). 1928, the temple was burned by Shi Yousan, and all the scriptures, martial arts books and shadow stones in the temple were destroyed, leaving only 14 stone pillars on the temple foundation and walls. According to the data before the destruction, the present Pavilion of Scriptures was redesigned and built at the original site 1992 to 1993. The abbot's room is where the abbot lives and is the director of the temple. On September 30th, 15th year of Qianlong reign, when Emperor Gaozong of Qing Dynasty visited Shaolin Temple, he took the abbot's room as his palace, so it was also called "Dragon Hall". This is Shi Yongxin's present office. Modong is located at 10 meter below the peak of Wuru Peak in Houshan, Chu 'anzu. This is a natural cave. Dharma, the ancestor of Zen Buddhism, lived in this cave for nine years. In the course of nine years' face sutra, Dharma's figure was printed on the face sutra stone, and even the folds of clothes were faintly visible, just like a faint ink painting. People call this stone "the shadow stone of the Dharma side wall", and this natural cave where Dharma once faced the wall is called "Dharma Cave". Look at 1995 Yao Fa sculptures donated by hundreds of good men and women in Shenyang.

I mainly came to see the monk this time. The monks here are all children, all very young. They studied Zen and martial arts in Shaolin Temple since childhood and will become good pillars of the motherland in the future. Or make a significant contribution to the cause of Buddhism.
