Qingyan Temple, also known as Fahuadong Grottoes, is located in a mountainous area one kilometer east of Qingyan Temple Village, Shidong Township, Wu 'an City, Hebei Province. The mountains are quiet here, and the horses and chariots are not dusty. "It is appropriate to be a fairy cave and a Buddhist resort." Climb the stairs and reach the temple. There is a small Berlin in front of the temple, and there are occasional bells echoing in the forest. Surrounded by the bell, the tiredness and boredom of mountaineering were washed away earlier than before. When the bell fell, I suddenly felt the silence of the ancient temple in Dashan, maybe it was a kind of silence! The village is named after the temple, and the township is named after the cave.

The temple is built on the mountain, the mountain is called Fahua Mountain, and the grottoes are also called Fahua Cave. The original buildings in the temple were abandoned due to disrepair. There are still grottoes, stone statues, stone altar tables, stone tablets, stone pillars and other relics in the hospital.

The grottoes are dug on the cliff on the east side of Qingyan Temple, and the temple runs east-west. There is a newly built wooden eaves in front of the cave, the cave door collapses slightly, and there is a big window above the cave door.

This cave is a slightly irregular rectangular structure. Due to the weathering and brittle cracking of rocks, all the walls and tops in the cave are damaged and displaced to varying degrees, and all the walls are uneven. On both sides of the disciple statue, near the left and right walls, there are two Bodhisattva statues. On the left, the Bodhisattva sits on a square seat leaning on the lotus on the fourth floor, with a plump figure, a collar around her neck, a double-necked drooping coat, a net bottle in her left hand and a willow branch in her right hand, so she is called Guanyin Bodhisattva. The bodhisattva on the right is also sitting on the square seat, showing her feet, with a slightly flat upper body, dressed in gorgeous costumes and her hands folded. The outer sides of the two Bodhisattvas are each like a King Kong warrior, dressed in armor and imposing.

The left wall of the cave is the most beautifully carved part in the cave, which is mainly divided into three groups. On both sides, the upper wall is avalokitesvara bodhisattva with thousands of hands and eyes, the lower wall is carved with a group of pictures of monks' offerings, and the east side is a group of pictures of Luohan. The wall is incomplete and cracked because of the fragility of the rock, but the Guanyin statue with thousands of hands and eyes is well preserved. In the picture, avalokitesvara bodhisattva with thousands of hands and eyes is in the center, sitting on the lotus seat. Wearing a crown of seven treasures with a Buddha carved on it. Avalokitesvara's face is Fiona Fang's, her facial features are exquisite and delicate, and her sculptures are extremely exquisite. On the hands on her chest and the high relief on both sides of her body, countless arms are carved, each with a glance at the palm of her hand, holding various musical instruments and gestures. There are * *, bows and arrows, pure bottles, orbs, Buddha beads, willow branches, Suzaku, Xuanwu, flags, copper coins, Buddha, Buddhist scriptures, Brahma, Baoshan and so on. Inside the high relief, there is a backlight similar to a bodhisattva, and there are also palms engraved, which are layered and countless. There is a dharma image on both sides of Guanyin Buddha statue with thousands of hands and thousands of eyes. The dharma keeper stood in a bow-pulling posture, with a mountain-shaped bun on his head, and his expression was tense and serious. Cross your hands on your chest, your fingers are sword fingers, and there are moire backlights and round headlights behind you. There are three protectors after backlighting, only the upper body is exposed. They face Fiona Fang, wearing high crowns and harmonious hands.

The lower part of Guanyin with thousands of hands and eyes is a sculpture scene for a group of monks. There are six statues in this scene, and the monk in the middle is slightly taller and slightly twisted to the left. The left hand naturally hangs to one side of the body and holds the skirt. Bend your right hand on your chest and make a gesture. Behind him, there is a simple boat-shaped backlight and a round headlight, and there is a vertical billboard without words on the left shoulder. There is a three-body monk statue behind, slightly lower. All three statues face west. Or hands and anything, or holding a square basin, or holding flowers. On the left side of the easternmost monk statue, there is an inscription "Yong Jing disciple Yong Hai", which is suspected to be a post-inscription. In front of the big monk, there are two statues of masters with objects in their hands and broken legs.

There are three layers of Luohan statues carved on the lower part of the monk's support map, all of which are squatting posture, wearing double-necked coats and different postures. In the east of the left wall, from the top to the ground, there are carved images of arhats, mostly in meditation. Different sizes. The main wall of the cavern is severely weathered, but the remaining rock surface is also covered with carved arhats. The right wall is also covered with arhats, but the overall shape is slightly larger than the left wall, with different postures. It has many supporters. The Lohan statue on the right is better than the Cliff Statue of Village Han and the Lohan Statue of Hao Yu in Yiquan Village.

At the foot of the inner wall of the cave, there are still four single circular carved Buddha statues or bodhisattvas, most of which are fragments. I don't know where it is. According to the carving style, it should be carved in the Song Dynasty.

At the top of the grotto, there is a hanging rock with a flat surface and an inscription on it. The vertical reading reads like this: "The famous Guanyin Huichao in Wang Shi Ancient Temple added a room to build a stone hall, which was carved on the ninth day of September in the seventh year of Taiping Xingguo (982). Later, Luohan Wubai was built and reconciled with Guanyin until February 2, 2002 (985). " After this, there was another note, which read: "-Gongde Mountain is a master of perseverance,-Gongde is a master of Buddhism, and the Monument Mountain was built in the second year of Wanli."

In Qingyan Temple, there are three stone tablets, a stone altar in the Ming Dynasty, a stone statue and a stone pillar. Five arhats are engraved on the stone pillars, and there is an inscription that "construction started on the third day of March in the forty-seventh year of Wanli". The stone table is engraved with dragon, phoenix, lion, unicorn and other patterns.
