Xingfu Temple Review

Jinan Xingfu Temple came here and took about half an hour to see it. It has been changed to a tea room, but the tea room is not open. Ancient trees and buildings are still reserved, and ancient stone carvings are displayed, which is the handwriting of Wang Qianzhi, etc., it is worth seeing.

When I came to Jinan for a trip, I went around the hotel and occasionally saw this Xingfu Temple scenic spot. It is said to be a scenic spot, it feels more like a square. The weather is good today, and many uncles and aunts exercise here. Unfortunately, the temple is not open.

The ancient temple in the garden of the city street, but now except for the archway outside the door, the inside has been transformed into a tea room by a tea company. The two-entry yard can be seen, but there is no temple at all. I don't know if the incense burners who used to pray for happiness here will miss their feeding place. I feel the city's siege of inheritance, and pity the compromise of culture by wealth. The night scene in Trip.com's picture should not be here.

The square and the surrounding area are not big. It is very close to the West Railway Station. Quiet in the middle of noisy. Leisure.

Xingfu Temple is located in the southwest of Yanma Village, Duandian Town, Huaiyin District, Jinan City. It was announced as a key cultural relics protection unit in Jinan City in 1979. It was upgraded to a cultural relics protection unit in Shandong Province in December 2006. Xingfu Temple sits north and south, and there are two courtyards, only the main hall, east and west wing rooms, the back hall and 4 ancient trees. According to the "Zhihuai Yin District", the original four courtyards of the temple are built, with mountain gates, main halls, back halls, bedrooms and east and west rooms, with a total area of 1900 square meters. The monastery was built in the Song Dynasty, destroyed in the Yuan Dynasty, and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty for eight years. The seven years of Ming Wanli (1579 AD), the fifty years of Qing Kangxi (1711 AD), and the twenty-two years of Qianlong (1757 AD) were all renovated. The stone slab of the "Xingfu Temple" was erected in the 14th year of Qing Guangxu (1888 AD), and it is now unknown whereabouts. Although Xingfu Temple is a small temple, the architectural pattern is still very complete. The entire temple is built according to the traditional ancient architectural pattern of China. The central axis is mainly symmetrical, and each building is built on the high platform, rising one by one, the highest back hall, the whole complex is magnificent. Moreover, the group's building specifications are very high, the main hall and the back hall are the top of the temple, this architectural form is unique in Jinan's small temple. However, because the temple has very little historical information, it is not known whether the temple was related to important historical events and figures at the beginning of the construction, so that the grade of the building exceeds the architectural specifications of the general temple. In addition to the high architectural specifications of Xingfu Temple, the beauty lies in its reliefs and paintings with high artistic value. The east and west wing houses in the existing buildings are hard-top gray tile roofs, but there are high floating brick carvings on the ridge, and the middle is the Erlong Opera Pearl, with deer, dragon, phoenix and animal carvings similar to horse and sheep on both sides. Such exquisite relief patterns as the east and west wing houses are rare in temple buildings in Jinan. The main ancient buildings in the temple are the Great Hall. The top ridge and the Temple are green glazed tiles with relief patterns; the ridge is carved with two dragons, and the two ends of the ridge are large kissing beasts. The hall is wide and open, and there are three deep rooms. There are exquisite arches between the frontal and the fins on the pillar. The most exciting thing is that the paintings in the hall are well preserved and colorful. The main pattern is the dragon, and each beam has a dragon pattern. The dragon is all gold, the painting skills are very high, and the relief lotus in the hall is also all gold. The color painting of the hall is first-class in the color painting of the ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties in Jinan. The back hall is also the top of the palace, and the ridge is the high relief of the Erlong Opera Pearl. The back hall is wide and three open, and the deep three enters. There are five beams, and there are bucket arches between the forehead and the fin on the pillar. The head on the bucket arch is like a Italian shape, which is the only place in Jinan. The painted on the beam is as bright as before, with the pattern of dragons and flowers, and the dragon is as sticker gold. On the forehead of the golden pillar, there is a title of "Qingguangxu 14 years (1888) dumpling winter moon re-repair", according to records, at that time the temple was presided over as a Fatong monk, and the prison was its nephew and grandson HP.
