Luoyang

Luoyang(Easy)The capital of the Nine Dynasties!The Nine Dynasties had their capital in Luoyang.It began with the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, the Later Han Dynasty, the Three Wei Dynasties, the Western Jin Dynasty, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Sui Dynasty, the Zhou Dynasty of Empress Zetian, the Later Liang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties and the Ten Kingdoms, and the Later Tang Dynasty.In China, the north side of a river is called yang, and the south side is called yin.It is said that the name Luoyang came from the fact that it is a capital town located to the north of Luosui, and the reason why nine dynasties set up their capitals here is probably because of the good feng shui of having Mt. Bow in the back and Luksui in front. Is it?From the 11th century BC during the Zhou Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty, Chang'an shared the political center for a long time.For this reason, it gave rise to the phrase, ``The paper prices of Luoyang'' were coined, and it was also home to China's first Buddhist temple.Longmen Grottoes(Ryumon Sex)14 km south of the city.This is a cave temple carved into a rocky mountain on the banks of Isui.Along with the Mogao Grottoes in Dunhuang and the Yungang Grottoes in Datong, they are known as China's Three Great Grottoes.In 493 AD, Emperor Xiaowen of Northern Wei moved the capital from Datong to Luoyang. From that time, excavation began to take over the Yungang caves.It continued to be dug for about 400 years until the Tang Dynasty, and it is said that there are 1,352 caves, 750 Buddhist niches, 97,000 Buddha statues, and over 3,600 inscriptions.Of particular note is Fengxeonsa-dong, the largest of the Longmen Grottoes, which took three years and nine months to complete in 675.A space 33.5m wide, 38.7m deep, and 40m high is carved into the mountainside, which is more than 20m high, and a 17.14m-tall Buddha statue is carved in the center of it.It was said that her face was modeled after Empress Zetian Wu.shaolin temple(Shorinji)About 70km from Luoyang.The temple was founded in the era of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (495 AD), and later, during the era of Emperor Xiaoming in the 6th century, the Indian monk Putei Bodhidharma established Zen Buddhism here.Bodhidharma came to China and preached Zen, but learned that China did not have the foundation to accept Indian Zen, so he retired to Shaolin Temple on Mt. He practiced zazen here for nine years, facing the wall, and developed his own unique training method. ('Menbeki Nine Years') This became the basis of Chinese Zen Buddhism.Furthermore, the reason why Japanese Daruma dolls do not have arms is because of the ``Eika dan 辂,'' which is said to be the second ancestor, Keika, who cut off his own arm to show his strong will to become a disciple. This is said to be due to confusion between the legend and ``Menkabe Nine Years''.Shaolin Temple is also known as the birthplace of Shorinji Kempo.This is also said to have been passed down by Daruma as one of the training methods.It is said that the name became famous because the 13 monks of Shaolin Temple saved the great ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin, through martial arts, and a painting of ``13 Monks Saving the Tang King'' in the White Robe Hall depicts this scene. is placed.Three hundred meters west of Shaolin Temple is the graveyard of the Shaolin Temple's past monks.It is called Tower Forest because the graves are shaped like towers, and there are about 220 of them.In 2010, it was registered as a World Cultural Heritage Site.
