Guangxiao Temple

Guangxiao Temple, one of the famous ancient architectural complexes in Guangdong, is located at the north end of Guangxiao Road in Yuexiu District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, near Jinghui Road. According to the 'Guangxiao Temple Chronicles', it was originally the former residence of Zhao Jiande, the king of Nanyue in the second century BC. During the Three Kingdoms period, Yu Fan of the Wu Kingdom was exiled here and turned the place into a garden, which was known as Yu Garden. After Yu Fan's death, his family converted the residence into a temple. The temple's name was changed several times: initially called Zhizhi Temple, it was named Wuyuan Temple in the fifth year of Long'an during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (401 AD), Qianming Faxing Temple during the Tang Dynasty, Qianheng Temple during the Southern Han Dynasty, Wanshou Chan Temple during the Northern Song Dynasty, Bao'en Guangxiao Temple during the Southern Song Dynasty, and soon after, the character 'Guang' was changed to 'Guang', and it was renamed Guangxiao Temple. The architectural structure of Guangxiao Temple is rigorous, and the halls are majestic and spectacular, especially with many cultural relics and historical sites. For example, the Mahavira Hall built during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the Washing Bowl Spring excavated by Bodhidharma during the Southern Dynasties, the Burial Hair Pagoda and Stone Sutra Pillar from the Tang Dynasty, the Thousand Buddha Iron Pagoda from the Southern Han Dynasty, the Sixth Ancestor Hall and Reclining Buddha Hall from the Song and Ming Dynasties, as well as steles, Buddha statues, hackberry trees, bodhi trees, etc., are all precious Buddhist relics and artifacts.

🌼🏛️ Yellow Beauty at Guangxiao Temple 🌿🌼

#cherryblossom2024 The spring breeze is still steep, yellow flowers as scheduled. Suzuki flowers are blooming as scheduled across Guangzhou. Perhaps inspired by the recent popularity of Chau Tau Tsui Yellow Flower Campanula Tree, this year Guangxiao Temple also planted a dozen Yellow Flower Tree Suzuki trees for the enjoyment of the ten parties. Compared with the Huanghuafeng Suzuki Avenue in Zhoutouzui, the planting scale in Guangxiao Temple is not large, only a dozen trees are planted around the lotus pond behind the bell tower. However, in the temple of ancient Fansha against the background, the yellow flowers here do not have a sense of beauty. #GuangxiaoTemple #YellowFlower #SuzukiFlowers #SpringBlossoms #SereneBeauty

A grain of rice paint art

109 Guangxiao Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China, 510180 The filial temple has a history of more than five centuries. The temple is one of the more popular attractions in Guangzhou. A short walk in the temple brings you back to the past where only the royals can enter the temple. A walk further into the tower there are several booths selling souvenirs. A booth that catches my eyes is rice painting art. I went to engage the service of the experienced lady. She first asked me to write my surname on a piece of paper. She then transformed the character into a small grain of rice. This is indeed very tiring and challenging as the grain of rice is super tiny. Yet she is able to do so well. The price of each writing on the rice cost 40 yuan. #bucketlistreboot

Guangxiao Temple is one of the rare ancient temples in Guangzhou. It has the saying that there is no sheep city, and there is light filial piety. During the period of Han Gaodi, Guangzhou was still in the state of Southern Man, and it was desolate and backward, as if it had been forgotten by the times. The first generation of Nanyue Wang Zhaoyu brought civilization and hope to Guangzhou, and made this long-forgotten corner alive. After Zhao Yus death, his descendants succeeded, and Guangxiao Temple was the former residence of Zhao Jiande, the descendant of Nanyue. The stove was sold out, the moon slanted from the wind, and the coldness of the sky was blown, and the old wind was blown. In the era of the Three Kingdoms, Zhao Jiandes former residence was turned over to the son of Wu Guoris South Taishou, and his house was abandoned as a garden. After the death, the temple was converted into a temple. Since then, the Guangxiao Temple has been opened for thousands of years with a long history. It can be said that "one stone and one wood are affectionate, and one pavilion and one temple are all traced."
