Daming temple is actually no different from other temples, but the tree in front of the door is very attractive. Terakado under tall trees, dense natural rather solemn; while another small trees, tree lines are spiral, like cannabis, as is very strange.
Went into the Temple is Maitreya, to the back is Veda, surrounded by "good Weather" Four Heavenly Kings; then passed through a courtyard is the Main Hall. Nothing fancy, and is almost the same as Jingan Temple of Shanghai.
Into the Main Hall, a positive course for the Buddha, Medicine Buddha is on one side, the other side is Amitabha. Good men and women usually worship according to course. At Tathagata side of the trunk there are Nuo and gamma leaf two Buddhas, that is, those that the Tang Priest had two tanks knocked the pig. Both sides are 24 Lohans (odd numbers, should not be 18 or 36 Lohans?). Turned to the back, is Avalokiteshvara, with the traditional layout. Daming Guanyin was originally dressed in white robes which now are changed into a red robe. A small edge after the God is also the shade of the color of clouds, coupled with dim rear lights, makinng it a strange look.
Out of the temple to keep going, the next courtyard is the monk Jian Zhen's Memorial Hall. Halls have the sandalwood statue of Jianzhen, and ship model, you can also see the introduction in Yangzhou, review historical review. "Look into history to rise and fall, " thinking about when Jianzhen was going to Japan by ship, was wild and ignorant, brought to the coutry with China's advanced civilization; and now, the other side is stronger than the Chinese economy, science and technology are advanced than China, and even popular culture Entertainment are favoring Japanese, making me feel a little sad.
Walked into the pagoda habitat tower, at the bottom there are four white jade Buddhas sent by a foreign land (as if Myanmar), and the looks are indeed a bit different from those of China's Buddhists. The tower is surrounded by a chain of 53 participants stories of Zenzai boy, drawing pretty fine, is unimaginatively full. Going up, on the second-story it is said that there are the relics, which is the result of the name "habitat spirit". However, Relics are packed in the small boxes, you could see nothing, do not know if it would shine at night.
Climb and climb, nearly out of breath, and finally to the top of the tower. The women prayers usually hands together to worship the Buddhas, layers up layers. In the top of the tower, for the convenience of climbing and watching on the high ground, there are binoculars standing toward the direction of Yangzhou. With your own eyes to see: overlooking the South is the city of Yangzhou; in the slightly nearer place, the river winding down to the bottom of the Tower is the Slender West Lake. On the island of the lake near the Tower, is outlined by the two winding coastline, like a heart-shape. This little discovery attracted grateful to beauty and excitement for a while. To the West, you can see a panoramic view of Daming; to the north, is the lying Buddha, which is behind the Jianzhen nursery.
Westwards, passing Ouyang Temple. Old Ouyang is also a playful spirit who had in his later years so-called himself Six-One Man: in the Temple there are "collection of a million rolls, set the stone has been left to take the text of five thousand volumes, a piano piece, there is chess, one wine, a pot, a old man who sits between the five objects, is it not for the almost six-one?" So Ouyang Ancestral Temple is also known as Six One Temple.
Back to the lake, I saw a place named "Crane grave", in which there is a legend about love: a men had two cranes, one male and one female. The male Crane died a few years later, the female crane daily lamented over male crane cape, and soon it also died. The men sighed over the two cranes tough love, and buried the both here - this is an old story, as at the monk temple one can not fall in love, so they get hold of some birds love story. Love really is eternal theme, even the temple's attractions can not be immune.
Cursory reading down the Daming, the temple building itself is nothing unique, but the custom of viewing the various allusions legend, and the image of the various spots are full up on the three-dimensionals. Touring in Yangzhou does not like the tour of natural landscape, in which you could see more in the humanities. Like to thank the tour guides of Yangzhou!
