Anguo Temple, also known as Huguo Temple, is located in the Pagoda Park under the Qingyun Pagoda in the south of Huangzhou City. Built in the third year of Tang Xianqing (658), the scale of the building was quite large at that time. It is said that there were 5,048 original houses, including Shantang Street, Suiyang Courtyard, Chuncao Pavilion, Zhuxiaoxuan, Yiai Pavilion and other buildings. The temple has a beautiful environment, covering an area of two miles. Anguo Temple sits in the north and faces the south. The Toushan Gate is an ancient three-beam brick and stone archway. There are six huge plaques inscribed on it inscribed with the words "Edict Anguo Zen Forest", and stone lions stand guard on both sides of the gate. There is a small courtyard about 10 meters deep at the entrance. Entering the small courtyard is the front hall, which is the Wei Tuo Hall. After passing the front hall, there is a square courtyard of about 130 square meters. There is a road leading directly to the Daxiong Palace. Not far behind the Daxiong Palace is the apse. The apse is the Qianshou Guanyin Hall. Separated on both sides of the three halls. The three halls are tall and majestic. A large plaque with four characters "Yuantong Zizai" hangs on the Thousand-hand Guanyin Hall, which was written by Jackie Chan, the prefect of Huangzhou during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, who rebuilt Chibi and Anguo Temple when he was in office. Opposite the Buddha statue in the Mahavira Hall, there is a model of an island in the South China Sea about 4 meters high and wide. On the left side of the temple are the original lotus pond, well, cultural kiln and monk cemetery. There are several tomb towers of different sizes on the cemetery. Because the Anguo Temple was given to the jungle in the ten directions by the imperial edict, monks, nuns, and Buddhists came to ask for precepts in an endless stream. In May every year, thousands of men and women pilgrims come here to worship.

几年过后 很大的变化 公园绿化 不错 湖水治理的也不错。还有 寺院正在建设,大殿也翻修了。整体庄严肃穆。塔还是以前的塔。
在 黄冈 市内,距离长江不远处,有一座寺院,名叫 安国 寺。因为寺内有一座塔,所以当地也将此地俗称宝塔,围着塔建有绿地,成为宝塔公园。在塔的一侧,就是今天要讲的 安国 寺。安国 寺也是比较出名的寺院了,始建于唐代,宋代的苏轼贬官黄州的时候,时常来此。石塔建于明代。去的时候,公园内正在施工建设,绕进去后,首先就来到塔前。塔是7层8面,每一面开有门,门按照八卦的名字命名。此塔又称青云塔,取“青云直上”的意思。从塔门的命名以及塔名来说,塔更像是道教的而非是佛教的。据称,以前石塔是可以自由上下的,现在(至少目前)不可以了。
黄州安国寺座落于黄州城南长江之滨宝塔公园内。据明弘治《黄州府志》载,该寺始建于唐高宗显庆三年(公元658年),由郡人张大用于显庆二年捐地基,由僧人惠立创建,取名“护国寺”。又据苏轼《安国寺诗》称,该寺始建于南唐李璟保大二年(公元944年),始名护国寺。 北宋天圣年间(公元1023~1032年)时任黄州刺史韩琚,其弟韩琦因父母双亡投奔来黄州韩琚处,韩琚安排在安国寺内读书,韩琦在寺内发愤攻读“白昼青灯,风雨无怠”,终于考中进士,并于宋仁宗嘉祜年间任枢密使,后官至宰相,成为一代名臣。后人在安国寺旁立有“韩魏公祠”,此祠为韩琦青年读书遗址,安国寺也因韩琦发迹于此而名声远播。嘉祜八年(1063年),宋仁宗御赐“安国寺”名,并赐印一方。玉印为阳篆字体,印面呈正方形,边长10.6厘米,文曰“敕赐唐代祖庭安国禅林之宝”。自此,安国寺成为江淮名刹,规模宏大。“堂宇斋阁,莲皆易新元,严丽深稳,悦可人意,至者忘归。岁正月,男女万人会庭中,饮食作乐,且祠瘟神”。(苏轼《黄州安国寺记》) 北宋元丰年至七年(1080—1084年)苏轼谪居黄州,因安国寺“茂林修竹,陂池亭榭”,环境优美,苏轼“间一二日辄往,焚香默坐,深自省察”。写下了《安国寺浴》、《安国寺寻春》、《应梦罗汉》、《黄州安国寺记》等脍炙人口的诗文,并为寺内高僧继莲结下了深厚友谊。苏轼还将寺旁边池塘辟为放生池,取名为“苏子瞻放生池”,勒石立碑。 北宋末年至南宋初年,金兵南侵,黄州多次沦为战场,生灵涂炭,安国寺亦遭厄运。南宋爱国诗人陆游于乾道六年(1170年)至黄州时,发现安国寺已“兵火之余,无复遗迹,惟绕寺茂林啼鸟,似犹有当时气象”。后又作《白雪堂登四望亭因历访苏公遗迹至安国院》诗纪念。 元朝时,安国寺得以修复。元末战乱,安国寺又毁于兵火。 明朝初年,战乱结束。洪武元年,黄州城由南往北扩展。七年,僧人云亭重修安国寺。宣德七年(1432年),又加以培修。弘治十二年(1499年)为纪念已毁的黄州太守徐君猷所修遗爱亭重建于府前西侧。次年,韩琦读书处由寺院旁改建于府前西侧。正德元年(1506年)安国寺祭祀唐代著名战将的“睢阳张公祠”被毁。万历二十四年(1596年)安国寺得以再次修复。著名书画家董其昌还为韩琦读书处亲笔题写“韩魏公读书堂”横额。明朝后期,国势衰微,安国寺荒凉破旧无人修复。 1986年黄州区有关方面负责人在国家改革开放政策的鼓励下,在宗教政策进一步落实下,从武汉归元
