Description: |
|
Yunxiang Temple is located at end of Nanxiang Old Street, and
had been an ancient temple with long history and famous in
Southern China. Unfortunately, the temple was ruined by
disasters and man-made calamities. Only the reserved double
pagodas in Nanxiang, the stone Buddhist banner built in Tang
Dynasty and Putong Pagoda built in Song Dynasty witness the
temple history. The present Yunxiang Temple was rebuilt on the
original site, and is the first complete temple of Tang Dynasty
style in Southern China. The words inscribed in the tablet are
not “Yunxiang Temple”, but are "Liuyun Temple". There was a
famous "Liuyun Temple" originally in urban area of Shanghai, and
that temple was ruined during the war of resistance against
Japanese. Afterward, with great efforts of the Buddhist
believers, that temple was moved to the site of the current site
of Yunxiang Temple, these two temples became one temple and
jointly inherit Buddhism. |
