Speaking of Shanxi Wuye Temple, now known as Wanfo Pavilion, it was located in Tayuan Temple, Taihuai Town, Shaanxi Province in the 40th year of the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty. southeast direction. It is mainly composed of Five Dragons, Five Halls and Manjusri Hall. There are five seated dragon king statues in the Five Dragons and Five Halls. Wu Ye is very famous, so the locals call Wanfo Pavilion "Wu Ye Temple". The temple of Wuye Temple in Shanxi is oriented in the north-south direction, covering an area of ??2040 square meters. It has a hall room, a Chonglou room, 20 monks' residences near and far, and 3 theaters, a Taiwanese provincial seat, a pagoda seat, and a Ming monument.

First of all, let’s talk about the construction situation of Wuye Temple in Shanxi:

The Wulong King Hall of Wuye Temple in Shanxi originally had a rolling shed roof. When it was rebuilt in 1920, it was changed to a single-eaves resting top. There are four corridors, five spines and six animals. There is a copper temple on the main spine. There is a rolling shed and a building in front, with carved beams and painted buildings, which are gorgeous and colorful. In addition to the golden-faced dragon king Lao Wu, there are also statues of the uncle, the second master, the dragon mother, the third master and Yu arranged behind him.

According to folklore, the Fifth Master originally had a black face, but Manjushri Bodhisattva transformed into the Five Dragon Kings in order to help all living beings, so the black face turned into a golden face. The Five Dragon Kings transformed from Manjushri Bodhisattva liked to watch plays, so an ancient stage was built opposite the Hall of the Five Dragon Kings specifically for the Fifth Lord to perform. Because of this, to this day, during the Dharma Assembly in June in Mount Wutai, famous actors and operas must be arranged to perform at the Wanfo Pavilion, which means singing operas for the Five Dragons and Five.

In addition to the Five Dragon King Hall, there is also the Manjusri Hall in the Wuye Temple in Shanxi. It is a three-bay, double-eaves, four-pronged Xieshanshan. The upper floor is dedicated to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and the lower floor is dedicated to the three major disciples of the Ming Dynasty. Statues of scholars; Manjusri sitting on a lion, Samantabhadra sitting on a throne, Avalokitesvara sitting on a seat and roaring towards the sky, each Shuo statue is over 1 meter high. There are five statues on the left and right of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva on the upper floor. They are King Guang of Qin, King Chujiang, King Song, King of Five Senses, King Yama, King Cheng, King Taishan, King Pingping, King City, and King Chakravartin of Ten Halls. , these "Ten Halls of Yama" constitute the layout of "Ten Halls of Yama Chao Ksitigarbha"; and the standing statues on the left and right sides of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva turned out to be Min Gong and his son. Legend has it that Jiuhua Mountain originally belonged to Ming Gong, but Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva wanted to occupy this place when he founded the Jiuhua Mountain Taoist Temple, so he turned into a monk and went to Ming Gong and said: "Now that I have come to this precious land, I will not be alms, and I will not be a vegetarian. I am asking for a place to practice cultivation, and I hope the benefactor will grant it." Duke Min laughed loudly: "I own everything around here for hundreds of miles, so why do I care about you occupying a place where the water rises? Master, which mountain peak do you think is better? , Just practice there." When the "monk" heard this, he spread out his cassock, and the entire Jiuhua Mountain was covered, so Mr. Min had no choice but to donate it all. Between the eaves and beams of the palace hangs a large bronze bell from the Ming Dynasty weighing 1,000 pounds of oil. The upper and lower floors of the wooden pavilion in the hall are filled with 3-inch-high clay sculptures and small gilded Buddha statues in various shapes. Although there are as many as 10,000 statues, none of them are the same, which is amazing. Therefore, Manjusri Hall is also called the Pavilion of Ten Thousand Buddhas.

Next, let’s talk about the Buddha statues enshrined in Wuye Temple in Shanxi.

The Wuye enshrined in the Wuye Temple is the honorific title of Manjushri Bodhisattva, the Dragon King of Guangji, and the incarnation of Manjushri Bodhisattva on the five tops of Wutai Mountain. Therefore, this is the most popular temple in the entire Wutai Mountain. In fact, it should be said that the Fifth Master is actually the product of Manjushri Bodhisattva's localization and secularization in Taiwan. It has assumed the function of a folk god and entrusted the local people's wishes for good weather, peace and auspiciousness. Perhaps it is precisely because Wuye is closer to the masses than the solemn Bodhisattvas in other major temples and is more in line with the wishes of all living beings who are eager for quick success and instant benefits. The small Wuye Temple has almost become a It is a symbol of being able to respond to requests. Most of the people who go to Wutai Mountain to burn incense go to Wuye Temple. In the minds of the masses, they don't know much about Buddhism, and they don't even know about Manjushri Bodhisattva. However, as long as Wuye Temple is mentioned, it is famous far and wide, and it has almost become a business card of Mount Wutai.

Mengshan Giant Buddha: Mengshan is located about 20 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan, in Sidi Village north of Jinci Temple. The main peak is 1,325 meters high. Mengshan Xiaoyue It is one of the eight scenic spots in old Taiyuan. Emperor Gaoyang of the Northern Qi Dynasty expanded the Dazhuangyan Temple of the Eastern Wei Dynasty into the Kaihua Temple in the second year of Tianbao (551), and excavated a 200-foot-tall cliff Buddha, called the Xishan Giant Buddha, which is slightly taller than the Leshan Giant Buddha, which is currently the largest in the country. During the reign of Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, a new palace was built to cover the Buddha. Emperor Gaozong and Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty came here to worship the Buddha and bestow cassocks in the palace. Due to the destruction of the temple and the collapse of the pavilion, the Buddha was submerged in the rubble. Only the chest and neck parts were visible. The chest is 25 meters wide, 17.5 meters high, and the diameter of the neck is five meters wide. It is currently being planned and developed as a tourist resource.

The Mengshan Giant Buddha, also known as the Jinyang Xishan Giant Buddha, is a cliff giant Buddha located in Mengshan Mountain northwest of Sidi Village, Jinyuan District, Taiyuan City, Shanxi Province. It is now a cultural relic protection unit in Taiyuan City. The Mengshan Giant Buddha was excavated during the Tianbao period of the Northern Qi Dynasty. It was originally a cliff Buddha statue behind the Kaihua Temple in Mengshan. Tang Emperor Li Yuan, Emperor Gaozong Li Zhi and Queen Wu Zetian, Emperor Wu of the later Tang Dynasty Li Keyong, and Emperor Liu Zhiyuan of the Later Han Dynasty all came here to worship Buddha. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mengshan Buddha was destroyed. During the census of place names in Taiyuan City in 1980, the Mengshan Giant Buddha was rediscovered. When it was discovered, the Buddha's head had disappeared, and the Buddha's body was buried in the earth and rocks and was severely weathered. According to ancient records, the Mengshan Buddha is two hundred feet high (59 meters in today's version).

According to actual measurements, the height from the bottom of the legs to the neck of the Mengshan Giant Buddha is about 30 meters. Proportionally, it is estimated that the original Buddha head is about 10 meters high. In addition, the height of the base added during later reconstructions is 6 meters. The original height of the Mengshan Giant Buddha Approximately 46 meters. Since 20_, Taiyuan City has protected and developed the Mengshan Giant Buddha, strengthened the Buddha's body, and built a new 12-meter-high Buddha head with reference to the Northern Qi Buddha head unearthed in Taiyuan. In October 20_, the Mengshan Giant Buddha Scenic Area was opened to the public.

The Mengshan Giant Buddha was originally the Buddha statue behind Kaihua Temple. Kaihua Temple was built in the second year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty (559 AD). Emperor Wenxuan of the Northern Qi Dynasty Gao Yang bestowed the title of "Kaihua Temple". Stones were cut to build a road behind the temple, and a Buddha statue, the Mengshan Giant Buddha, was carved on the mountain one mile behind the temple. At that time, Taiyuan was called Jinyang and was the capital of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Gao Huan, Taizu of the Northern Qi Dynasty, started a business here, defeated Er Zhurong, and later actually took control of the affairs of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, laying the foundation for the establishment of the Northern Qi Dynasty. Since then, emperors of various generations in the Northern Qi Dynasty often traveled between the capital Yecheng and the other capital Jinyang, and attached great importance to the construction of Jinyang. According to the record in "Rebuilding the Zhuang Pavilion of Kaihua Temple in Mengshan" by Su Yugui of the Five Dynasties, "Book of the Northern Qi" and other historical materials said that Gao Wei, the late ruler of the Northern Qi Dynasty, "carved a large Buddha statue from the west mountain of Jinyang, and the oil poured out into thousands of pots overnight, illuminating the palace." It is the Giant Buddha of Kaihua Temple in Mengshan. Therefore, the Mengshan Giant Buddha is sometimes called the "Jinyang Xishan Giant Buddha".

The age at which the Mengshan Giant Buddha was excavated is controversial. One view, based on the records in "Taiyuan Chronicles Taiyuan County" in "Yongle Dadian", is that the excavation of the Mengshan Giant Buddha began in the second year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty. Another view, based on the records in Jiajing's "Taiyuan County Chronicles" and Ming Chenghua's "Shanxi General Chronicles", is that the Mengshan Giant Buddha was excavated after the Kaihua Temple was built, that is, later than the second year of Tianbao. Some researchers believe that the construction of the Mengshan Giant Buddha began in the 10th year of Tianbao's reign (AD 559 years). According to the record in "Northern History" by Gao Wei, the later master, "he carved a large Buddha statue in the west mountain of Jinyang, and thousands of basins of oil filled it up overnight, illuminating the palace." The researcher concluded that the Mengshan Giant Buddha was completed during the reign of the latter master Gao Wei; and according to the Song Dynasty According to the records of Mengshan, "Mengshan Stele" and "Northern History" were written in March of the fifth year of Tiantong in the Northern Qi Dynasty. In March and April of the fifth year of Tiantong in the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Empress of the Northern Qi Dynasty was in Jinyang and important Buddhist services were held. It is presumed that the Mengshan Giant Buddha was The completion time was the fifth year of Tiantong in the Northern Qi Dynasty (569 AD).

The Mengshan Giant Buddha is carved out of a steep cliff and is located near the top of Mengshan Mountain. The Buddhist niche is an open-top cliff type, 29.60 meters wide, 17 meters deep, and approximately semi-elliptical in plan. The head of the Buddha statue has been lost, and the mountain is flush with the neck. Researchers speculate that there may have been a natural protruding rock here at that time, and it was carved into the Buddha's head during the excavation. On the cliff behind the Buddha statue, there are temple ruins on a large flat area, scattered with broken bricks and tiles, as well as broken tablets engraved with "Hangzhou Tianmu Peak Che Zen Master". The Mengshan Buddha is a single Buddha statue, and there are no remains of attendant statues inside or outside the niche.

The head of the Buddha is missing. The neck is 5 meters in diameter, more than 2 meters high, and has three engraved neck lines. The height from the neck to the abdomen is 22 meters, and the distance between the two elbows is 22.70 meters. The shoulders are flat and broad, the chest is thick, and the body is strong. Because the rock mass of the Buddha is loose sandstone, it has been severely weathered and collapsed, and the patterns on the Buddha's clothing are no longer identifiable. There are several rows of small square holes on the chest of the Buddha statue, which are presumed to be relics left during the reconstruction of the Buddha. The forearm of the Buddha statue is 12 meters long and 2.80 meters wide, and is relatively well preserved. Apply meditation seal to the Buddha statue. The right hand is 3.10 meters long, and the palm and little finger are still intact; the left hand is disabled. Under the hands are legs made of stone, 3 meters high, sitting in lotus position. Under the legs is a stone platform. The legs and platform base were built during the reconstruction of the Buddha. Researchers believe that although the original sitting posture of the Buddha statue may not be the lotus posture when it was rebuilt, judging from the meditation seals on both hands, it is likely to be the lotus posture. Based on the remains before cleaning, Su Bai concluded that the Mengshan Buddha was the seated Maitreya Buddha. However, after cleaning, the Buddha statue with the meditation seal and sitting in lotus position is not a sitting Buddha statue. Later researchers believed that the Mengshan Buddha might be Sakyamuni Buddha. One of the reasons is that "The Record of Rebuilding the Zhuangyan Pavilion of Kaihua Temple in Mengshan" mentioned that "the cause of success in Zhaoti is the truth about Sakyamuni"; the other reason is that the Sakyamuni Buddha in Cave 20 of the Yungang Grottoes excavated in the Northern Wei Dynasty also practiced meditation. Seal, sitting in lotus position, the same as the Mengshan Buddha.

The Mengshan Giant Buddha is about 30 meters high from the bottom of its legs to its neck. Researchers estimate that the height of the Buddha's head is about ten meters based on the shoulder width of 18 meters. That is, the overall height of the Mengshan Buddha is 40 meters. Including the 6-meter-high base added during later reconstructions, the total height is about 46 meters. This is different from historical records. The "Ming Bao Ji Ji Shu" of the Tang Dynasty records that the giant Buddha in Kaihua Temple in Mengshan is two hundred feet high. According to one foot in the Tang Dynasty, which is equivalent to 0.295 meters in modern times, the height of the Mengshan Giant Buddha recorded in the Tang Dynasty is 59 meters, which is more than ten meters higher than the actual height of the Mengshan Giant Buddha. Some media calculated that the height of the Mengshan Giant Buddha is 66 meters based on the modern calculation of one foot equal to 0.33 meters; some media calculated it as 63 meters; and some media claimed that the height of the Mengshan Giant Buddha is 66 meters. These media concluded that the Mengshan Buddha is taller than the 55-meter-tall Bamiyan Buddha in Afghanistan. Some media even claimed that the Mengshan Giant Buddha is as famous as the Leshan Giant Buddha and the Bamiyan Giant Buddha. Based on the height relationship between the three (it is believed that the Mengshan Giant Buddha is 66 meters high), the Mengshan Giant Buddha is called the "second largest stone Buddha in the world."

On the platform in front of the Buddha, there are architectural remains that are three rooms wide (approximately 15 meters). The gate stone and ground rugs are still there. Researchers judge that the construction age may be later than the Five Dynasties. There is a turtle stele in the north of the building ruins, but the monument has been lost. There are several small stone holes on the west side wall of the Buddhist niche, which were used to insert beams and purlins when building the Buddhist pavilion. On the east side of the large Buddhist niche, there is a cliff inscription and the remains of two caves on the cliff face. The cliff inscription is approximately at the height of the Buddha's chest. It is rectangular, 2.50 meters high and 1.85 meters wide. It was pre-carved and then embedded on the cliff. The text has been blurred. It can only be judged that it is a Buddhist scripture, but it cannot be confirmed. I know which sutra it is. The small cave on the east side of the cliff inscription is about 1 meter high and wide. This cave has been destroyed due to rock collapse. To the east of the small cave is a large square cave with a width of 2.97 meters, a depth of 2.99 meters, and a height of 2.94 meters, with spires at the four corners. The rectangular cave door is 1.74 meters high, 0.97 meters wide, and 0.52 meters deep. There are stone pillars carved on both sides of the door, and buckets are carved on the stone pillars. Above the buckets is a carved forehead, and the brackets on the forehead are of the one-bucket-three-liter type. , the dougongs between the pillars are herringbone-shaped with crossed arms. The fork hand is arc-shaped, tilted outward, and the tail end is slightly upward. Combined with the two characteristics of the four-cornered spire and the upturned ends of the herringbone forks, researchers believe that this cave may have been excavated in the Northern Qi Dynasty. The cave has plain walls and no niches. It is a Zen cave. There are remaining inscriptions from the 46th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty.

According to the "Jiajing Taiyuan County Chronicle": "Fahua Temple is located fifteen miles northwest of the county. It was built in the second year of Tianbao in the Northern Qi Dynasty (551). It was granted enlightenment. A stone was cut behind the temple to lead to a road for one mile. A Buddhist statue was carved on the mountain, and a Buddhist pavilion was built in the early Renshou period of the Sui Dynasty (620_). In the third year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (620_), Li Yuan came to visit Zen in Hedong and was renamed Kaihua Temple in the Jiazi year of Huichang (844). ) The Buddhist pavilion was destroyed and rebuilt in the second year of Qianning (895). In the first year of Chunhua of the Song Dynasty (990), two stupas with a height of two feet were built. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty (1368), only the stupa of the monk's room remained. It was rebuilt by King Gong of Jin in the 18th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1385). Before Liu Zhiyuan, the founder of the Later Han Dynasty, became emperor, he built a Buddhist pavilion here in the second year of Ziyun of the Later Jin Dynasty (945). The "Zhuangyan Pavilion" is five stories high, with thirteen couplets on each floor. The 200-foot-tall stone Buddha is sheltered inside. At the same time, a "Wild Goose Pagoda and Bee Tower" and a "Deer Garden and Chicken Garden" are built. The grand pavilion is extremely majestic and luxurious. In the 28th year of the Yuan Dynasty (1368), the "Zhuangyan Pavilion" and other buildings collapsed. Since then, the Buddha has been buried among rocks, residual bricks, gravel and sand. Zhu Fan, Prince Gong of the Ming and Jin Dynasties, guarded Taiyuan and rebuilt Kaihua Temple. In fact, only the front temple, which is now Kaihua Temple, was built. The back temple was not rebuilt, and the Buddha was buried and unknown to future generations.

In 1980, the Taiyuan City Southern Suburban Place Names Office discovered the remains of the Giant Buddha during a place name census. In 1982, while exploring the origin of the name "Big Belly Rock", field surveys revealed that it was actually the chest of the Buddha. It was more than five feet high and about eight feet wide. The head had not yet been found. Only the neck found was five feet high. It was really After a foot and a half, the part below the chest is still buried in the rubble of the mountain. The entire Buddha has yet to be excavated. The Buddha's body has been revealed and the architectural remains found around it are consistent with historical records. It has attracted the attention of domestic historians.
