According to legend, a fairy fell from the sky and became an old man. She went to a farmer's house to beg for water with a cane in her hand. The farmer gave the old man a bowl of yellow wine to quench his thirst, and there was no water at home. He also said that there was no water here for many years, and yellow wine could only replace water. After drinking, the old man thanked the farmer and said that since there was no water, he would give you a few springs. So he lit a few times near the farmer's house with a cane, and soon the spring came, surging. From then on, there was no water to drink, and there was no need to worry about irrigation without water, which attracted many tourists to watch, hence the name Jiuxianquan. According to the Records of Wengyuan County in the thirty-sixth year of Ming Jiajing, "Baoqing Temple is ten miles southwest of the county"; According to the Records of Shaozhou Prefecture compiled in Tongzhi for six years in Qing Dynasty, "Baoqing Temple was built in Chang 'an Township, Bali, wengyuan county by Bao Liyi, a Zen master in Song Dynasty (it should be in Tang Dynasty, which is a misquote in Shaozhou Prefecture Records), and was built between Baoqing and Hongwu in Ming Dynasty because of its name". According to a brief history of South China 125, the sixth ancestor Huineng accepted his disciple Ding Hui in his later years. When Huineng died (7 13), Ding Hui returned to her hometown Wengyuan. After Ding Hui returned to Weng, he continued to inherit Buddhist culture. First, the Dinghui Buddhist Temple was built in Jingyuan Mountain (now Shuangshi Village, Wengyuan, Xinjiang), then the Wengshan Temple was built in Wengshan Mountain (now Shiyazi, Zhu Gui Village, Longxian Town), and then the temple was built in Yanqianpu, Chang 'an Township (now Yangtao Zengguantang, Shengli Village, Wengcheng). Finally, he died of illness (77. His disciple Yong Chan followed the teacher's instructions and built the Bao Li Temple in the early Tang Dynasty (825). After 400 years, the temple was in ruins. At the beginning of Song Dynasty (1225), it was overhauled. Due to the change of dynasties, it was renamed Baoqing Temple, whose name is still in use today. In 2004, the author visited Gu Lou in Qing Dynasty under the victory and defeat of Wengcheng, and occasionally saw a green granite temporary bridge among the weeds. It was the third day of February in the 30th year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty (1551)191year1and it has been more than 400 years since believers in Wengyuan and Yingde rebuilt the inscription. At the end of the Republic of China, there were still monks worshiping Buddha and chanting scriptures. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the brick wall of the temple was demolished in the "commune" movement. During the Cultural Revolution, the inscription of Ming Dynasty was moved to the temporary bridge, the load-bearing beam pier was moved to the brigade headquarters, and the Baoqing Temple was in ruins. It is also found that in the early years of Baoqing in Song Dynasty, two exquisite blue and white hills engraved with Liang Shidun were donated by Huang Yiniang, the wife of Master Lin in Xinshi, and Lin Yiniang, the wife of Xinshiqiu.
Baoqing Temple has a quiet environment, far away from the noise. Temple field is located in Wengcheng and Gaozhaizi Xishan, with Gui Hu Madong, Lieshan and Dalaling as barriers. There is Muyuling on the left and a mallet on the right in front of the temple. The lotus pond at the door is lined up, and the mud in the pond is thick. The lotus root produced here is white, slender, tender and fragrant, which is a rare local specialty. Around the temple field, two waters return to the pool, and the source is clean. Although it is a trickle, it goes straight to the center of the hall all the year round, full of Buddhist geographical elements. In the first year of Tian Jian, Liang Wudi in the Southern Dynasties, an Indian wise doctor monk took a boat to Wengyi (now Wengyuan) in Guangdong and founded Lingjiu Temple. In the first year of Tang Longshuo, the sixth ancestor Huineng took over the mantle in Huangmei, returned to this temple in the south and retired, changing Lingjiu Temple to Donghua Temple, and then went to Lin Bao. From then on, Weng Xu had a legend: Donghua came first, then South China, and Donghua preached the Dharma in South China. The prosperity of Tang and Song Dynasties was destroyed in Ming and Qing Dynasties. 1997, Shaman Wanxing came back with a wish, entered this mountain for three years, felt the grace of heaven and earth, met the sum of yin and yang, and proved the origin of Buddhism, so he went through customs and rebuilt Donghua. With a knife and axe in his hand, the master cut the mountain and cut the road. In the past, no man's land, Mid-Autumn Festival in Dinghai, temples reappeared, bodhi was green, trees were hidden, and monks gathered. Teachers follow the ancestral Zen: pay equal attention to agriculture and Zen, meditate in class, do it in class, and do it without eating; Establish a Donghua style: first believe in religion, first love your country, first learn Buddhism, first be a man, first practice Buddhism.
