At the tightly locked gate, the stone Buddha stands still in the mountain - Pixian Stone Buddha Temple

I still habitually call Pixian District Pixian, this historically long-standing Douban County plain horse racing is boundless, hiding many rare treasures, including the little-known Stone Buddha Temple. The Stone Buddha Temple was founded in the Yuan Dynasty, and after the changes of the times, it retains the ancient architecture and murals of the Ming Dynasty. It is the oldest temple preserved in Pixian County. Today, it is purely a cultural preservation unit and no longer has religious value for burning incense and worshiping Buddha. Because the iron general is guarding the gate all year round, if you don't make arrangements in advance, say good human feelings, it is not recommended to go. The two existing halls of the Stone Buddha Temple form a small courtyard. The main hall should be the old main hall. Now it is all moved out, leaving only a ladder for the destined to climb. Of course, climbing up is to see the murals. The murals that the temple focuses on are rare treasures of the Ming Dynasty in the Greater Chengdu area and even in Sichuan. Although the colors have almost evaporated and most of them have become landscape paintings, the technique of line drawing is still there. What is posted is what the mobile phone can take. That day the sun was just right and the breeze was warm. The dazzling golden light covered the old house, but at other times when entering the hall, it is recommended to prepare a flashlight for close observation. The themes of the murals are mostly about preaching, fairy trials, etc. Could it be that it was a Taoist temple before, but it was inaccessible; the beams and rafters are also painted with patterns of fish scales, lotus, honeysuckle, etc. All the pillars of the entire hall are made of Phoebe, which may not be golden, but after five or six hundred years, there is no sign of dampness and insect damage, and it is well preserved. It is estimated that it was a granary before, and all the murals on the high place are clearly visible. From the perspective of ancient architecture, the doors and windows of the main hall and the rear hall are intact, the patterns of flowers, birds, insects and fish are exquisite and timeless, and the cloud and thunder patterns of the bucket arch are quite ancient. The side hall has two small windows for light, which reminds people of the methods of committing crimes in 'Young Bao Qingtian' or Kindaichi, where the bed is hung up and the head is cut off with a knife. The classical courtyard has planted two soapnut trees in the patio. I have never seen this interesting tree species with thorns all over the body. The gatekeeper aunt said that although it is full of thorns, its fruit can clean clothes and wash dishes and chopsticks. 'Sky nails' can also reduce swelling and detoxify pus, and you must not judge a tree by its appearance. This remark made people suddenly feel the educational sense of 'Peanuts', everything ugly has its use, and the aunt never lied to me. Four stars, I hope that all destined people can observe the essence of the ancient and realize the truth of the soap pod.
