Wutai Shan Fengjing Mingshengqu-Luohou Temple Review

Luoyu Temple is one of the ten best preserved Huang Temples and one of the five major Buddhist temples in Wutai Mountain. The two wooden buildings in the temple are famous for receiving guests from the ten parties. Luoyu Temple was founded in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in Ming Dynasty for five years (1492 AD), and was rebuilt many times in the Qing Dynasty. In 2013, it was announced as the seventh batch of key national cultural relics protection units. The curved wall stone road came to the mountain gate, and the stone lions on both sides of the door were male and female, huge and majestic, and powerful. There are many stone lions carved in the temples in the central area of Taihuai, and the remains of the Tang Dynasty are only one place. There are four major temples in the mountain gate. This first weight is the Temple of the Heavenly King, the four heavenly kings inside, also known as the four kings, respectively, the east holding the kingdom of the kingdom, the south holding the sword, the west holding the long snake, the north holding the umbrella, the people called them the wind (sword-holder), tune (holding the serpent), Rain (Umbrella) and Shun (Snake-Holder) four gods. The second temple is Wenshu Temple, which provides Wenshu Bodhisattva, unlike the general Qing Temple. The face of Wenshu Bodhisattva here is milky white, not golden yellow, shoulder flowers are stretched out on both sides of the shoulders, and the flowers are also placed with scriptures and wisdom swords. Wenshu sits on the lotus flower, not standing brick platform. These all reflect the characteristics of Huang Jiao Wenshu's portrait. The third is the Great Buddha Temple, which houses the Buddha of Sakyamuni (world of the world of the world), the pharmacist Buddha (world of the Oriental glazed world), and the Buddha of the Amitabha (world of the West), collectively known as the "Buddha III". The third Buddha served the Bodhisattva and provided for the Bodhisattva. The fourth temple is the most mysterious "flowering Buddha". In the hall, a lotus flower is erected in the middle and high, containing four Buddha statues. Sometimes the eight-petal lotus flower will slowly open, showing the four-sided Ami Buddha. In fact, this is the result of manual operation of the clever organ. This large lotus flower is connected with the large disk below by a pillar, when the monk drives the wooden wheel in the dark room under the disk. The pillar will turn, and the lotus will open or close, and the landscape of "flowering buddha" will appear. In addition, 24 statues of gods will be formed on the round table, which is called "24 days".
