Kuixing Building has three floors. Right below the building, that is, the first floor, is square, made of antique big blue bricks, with semicircular arches on both sides, a flower-shaped female wall on the top of the wall base, and an empty pavilion on the bottom, in which there are stairs to climb to the second floor. The second floor is also made of brick, and there are also round arches on all sides. There are twelve pillars outside, with arches and cornices, and stairs leading to the third floor. The third floor is a wooden structure, with doors separating flowers, and there are twelve columns outside with colored paintings on them. There is a Kuixing statue carved in ebony in the building, which looks like a ghost with red hair and blue face. Standing on the top of the mountain, one foot lifts the hook like the word "kui" upside down, and the other foot is as independent as the champion. Holding a bucket in his left hand and a magic pen pointing to the champion in his right hand is the so-called "Kuixing points to the champion". "Osmium" is "Su Kui", which is the name of an ancient star. Kuixing was attached by the ancients as the star in charge of literary movement, and Kuixing was also changed to Kuixing. Taoism even respects Kuixing as the god who dominates the rise and fall of literature. In the past, the imperial examination system prevailed. Before going to Beijing to take the exam, some scholars will go to the Kuixing Building to worship the statue of Kuixing in order to win prizes. On the west side of the upper floor of Kuixing Building, there is a plaque inscribed by Miao Gongen, a famous person in Shengjing, entitled "Civilization in the World".
In front of the courtyard of Kuixing Building, there is a blue brick gate, and the upper end of the gate is engraved with three Chinese characters "Kuixing Building" in big blue square bricks. On the left and right sides of the front of the mountain, large flagpoles tens of feet high were erected with granite plywood. There is also a side door to the east of the mountain gate, with two wooden doors and a threshold under the door. Surrounded by blue brick walls, the courtyard is rectangular.
In the north of Kuixing Building, there is a big clock hanging on a triangular column frame, on which the words "good weather" and "peaceful country and people's safety" are cast. Further north, there are three towers in the main hall and a Guanyin statue in the east. In the middle of the main hall, there is a statue of Wenchang Emperor who dominates the fame and fortune in the world. Wenchang was originally called satellite, but it was originally called satellite. Ancient astrologers interpreted it as an auspicious star, and Taoism paid more attention to it. There are six compartments in the hall and three compartments in the west wing.
Originally a Taoist residence, it was later a monk's room.
Kuixinglou
Wang Erlie, a gifted scholar who became famous for "overwhelming the Three Rivers", retired from Dali Temple in the fourth year of Jiaqing (1799) and came to Shengjing Cuisheng Academy (also known as Shenyang Academy) to take charge of teaching. In addition to teaching, he once led students to the Kuixing Building to pay tribute to the statue of Kuixing for future generations to learn from.
19 10 in the spring, 12-year-old Zhou Enlai, when she transferred from Tieling Yin Gang Academy to Fengtian Dongguan Model Class 2 Primary School, once faced Kuixing with her classmates and friends and confided her feelings.
In the early years of the Republic of China, Yu Fengzhi, the wife of rumbled Zhang Xueliang, wrote a "responsive" plaque for the Wenchang Dijun Hall in the courtyard of Kuixing Building, and hung it high in the center of the hall.
Kuixinglou is closely related to Confucian culture and Taoist culture in China traditional culture. This used to be a Taoist temple. During the reign of Emperor Guangxu in Tongzhi of Qing Dynasty, all the people lived in it were Taoist priests, but interestingly, I don't know when it became a Buddhist temple. As a result, Kuixinglou has become a fusion place of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in Shenyang. The abbot of this building, Mo Exorcist, is a famous monk in Shenyang. In recent years, Master An Xiang, who is the president of Shenyang Buddhist Association, also serves as the abbot of Kuixing Building.
After the founding of New China, Kuixing Building was still well preserved in 1950s, but it was destroyed as "four old buildings" in an unprecedented era.
