It has been leveled, just in time to build a temple.
It costs a lot of money to build a temple on the ridge. It happens that this is the junction of the eleventh capital, the fourteenth capital and the fifteenth capital, and it is jointly built by the three capitals, so it is also called "Sanjie Temple".
In the 24th year of Guangxu (1898), Leizu Temple was built. Three advances: one advance, Guan Jun; Erjin, Lei Zushi; Sanjin, the jade emperor in the main hall, the Guanyin master in the partial hall, and the twenty-four heavenly courts. The eaves of the temple are steep, angular and magnificent, towering over the top of the mountain and can be seen for dozens of miles around. Looking around on the mountain, the mountains bow and everything is revered. Mount Hengshan is lightly connected with the south sky, and the long wind hides in the west, and the jade belt floats eastward, and the black stone crosses the north sky. The floors are dotted with pines and cypresses, and the traffic is creeping slowly in the hilly road. Chutian is vast and relaxed.
In the nearby Jianzi Mountain, Qixingtang and Tang Yang Bay at the foot of the mountain, there is a magical legend: the Yang family in Qixingtang lost their father, and Mr. Xiangdi went blind after entering the centipede-shaped cemetery in Jianzi Mountain. After Yang Fu became rich, he gradually became thicker, and no one cared about him. Even the useful dogs fed him. Mr. Xiang Di was dissatisfied and pretended to say to Yang, "Seven cauldrons of clear oil and sharing the wick for forty-nine days will be more prosperous.". The master did so. On the 49th day, there was another night of storm, lightning and thunder. A loud noise smashed the tomb at the top of the mountain, shook out the coffin and was washed to Tang Yang Bay by the raging flood. It turned out that the centipede was exposed by the sky lantern. Thor thought it was an Uber and killed it. The story of "Thunder hits the top of the mountain, Muxiu Tangwan" is widely circulated, and Lei Zuwei is even more prominent.
The temple was inspired by the gods and the mountain was named after the temple. There are temples and gods in Leizu Hall, with many mountains and high mountains, which have far-reaching influence. Every year, there will be a land meeting on the second day of February, a Guanyin meeting on February 19th, an accounting meeting on March 15th, a seed sending meeting on April 1st, a Buddhist meeting on April 8th, an alliance meeting on May 13th, a Rain Mother meeting on June 6th, a Lei Zu meeting on the 24th, a seven-package meeting on July 7th, a dream orchid meeting on July15th, and September 28th. Membership is easy. If there is an alliance, Guan will be sworn in in Taoyuan on May 13th. Anyone who is allied with his brother or whose birthday falls on this day will become a member by paying the dues. You can go to eat on this day every year. The same is true of other meetings. The congregation is scattered all over the country, and some people go thousands of miles away for meetings. Among them, Israel League, Leizu Club and Menglan Club have abundant funds and the largest scale. Leizu Temple has its own paddy field 18 mu, and Menglan Society holds a solitary banquet every year, which is a great event. Lenovo and assembly, the mountain is so high, where is the water? There used to be a well near the main hall. Later, it was said that there were ghosts in the well, so it was abandoned, so a water tank was used to connect Tianshui for later use.
There is a temple offering incense in the temple. The first one was Yan Sanpan, who succeeded Wang Shizhai as a robber and burned to death. The third is Wang Qi, who changed his land and went down the mountain to become a farmer.
1958 during the Great Leap Forward, the slogan "Yi Lei Zutang, move stones to build a new pond" was put forward. If Leizutang disappears, the stone tablet will be buried as a building material in Xintang Reservoir.
No one expected that this picturesque ancient temple mountain was once an ancient battlefield with loud bugles and stormy weather. 1944 In the early winter, Zhangbi Village of the Kuomintang clashed with the scattered Song Shunji headquarters, and Zhang chased Song to Leizu Temple, where he made a scene for a long time. Zhang injured two people and Song Department evacuated safely.
The couplets of "Three Rings of Sanjie Temple Shake the Three Capitals, and the bells are exhausted" have been left for more than a hundred years, and they have not yet found a good marriage. Here is an interesting story. It is said that in the 24th year of Guangxu, gentlemen from the three cities came to celebrate the inauguration ceremony of Leizutang, but who should sit down and discuss first, so as not to give way to each other. Fifteen-year-old Confucian scholar ×× (anonymous name) said: I write couplets, and whoever faces them is the chief. Everyone agrees. Wang proposed the first contact, but no one answered it. If Kui failed, all of them followed.
Get back on track after history is broadcast. Let a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend. At the end of the 20th century, Leizu Temple was once again erected on the mountain. Leizu was a majestic bodhisattva, punishing evil and promoting good. Master Guanyin gently shakes the willow branches to benefit all beings; Zhao Shuai, the God of Wealth, is a kind person. The clock is ringing, and there is fog around the incense; It is really a Buddhist wonderland. The narrow path from Yanchong 'ao in Paitou Township to the Palace has been replaced by a wide road. Like still water, Ren Jing nuns who donated money to build roads chanted Amitabha to welcome devout pilgrims and visiting guests. The pilgrims sincerely worship the Buddha, and the tourists take quiet in the noise, taking their places and enjoying themselves.
