Brief introduction of Guangzhou Big Buddha Temple
Guangzhou Giant Buddha Temple was founded in the Southern Han Dynasty (AD 9 17-97 1) and is called Xinzang Temple. It was built on Liu Lian, the king of Southern Han Dynasty, and stayed in the sky for 28 nights. In the Ming Dynasty, it was expanded into Longzang Temple, and later changed to Inspection Department. In the first year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (1649), it was destroyed by fire. In the spring of the second year of Kangxi, Wang Shangkexi of Pingnan donated a royal salary, modeled on the official temple system in the Book of Songs, and rebuilt a temple with Lingnan local style, which has high cultural and artistic ornamental value.
The north-south building area of Daxiong Hall is1.200m2, which is still the highest in Lingnan. Despite more than 300 years of wind and rain erosion, its style still exists. High-quality wood donated by King Annan (present-day Vietnam) as a beam-column framework has been basically intact so far. In the 11th year of Yongzheng (1733), Liu Shu, the magistrate of Guangzhou, chose the Great Buddha Temple as the place to announce the Oracle, and built an Oracle Pavilion in front of it. At the same time, there are Wei Tuo Hall, Jialan Hall, "Buddhist Kingdom" and "Zen Forest" on both sides of the main hall. At this time, the scope of temples expanded, Buddhism flourished and its reputation spread far and wide, becoming one of the five jungles after the recovery.
