Nara, I don't know when the name Nara became inexplicably familiar, impressive and affectionate. Maybe it's Jian Zhen. It always gives people a natural feeling. In Nara Park, there are herds of deer families and tree-lined streets, and the dishes taste elegant and fragrant. Whenever I walk on the land of Nara, I always feel a sense of sureness in my heart.
Nara Prefecture, formerly known as Yamato, is located in the center of Mu Yi Peninsula, south-central Feng Jingen, bordering Mie Prefecture in the east, Osaka Prefecture in the west, Wakayama Prefecture in the south and Kyoto Prefecture in the north. It is an inland county and one of the cradles of Japanese history and culture. Nara, as an ancient cultural city, has many ancient temples and historical sites, enjoys the title of "social temple capital" and is regarded as "spiritual hometown" by Japanese nationals. This place is one of the birthplaces of ancient Japanese culture, and its important places of interest include Hirai-Jing Site, Imperial Tomb, Toda Temple, Tang Zhaoti Temple, Yangle Temple, Xiaofu Temple, Da 'an Temple, Horyuji, Zhengcang Temple, Chunri Temple, Yuanxing Temple, Xiwei Temple, Bagan Temple in Handangshan, Nara Park and so on.
Todaiji
Dongda Temple, also known as the Golden Light Four Tennoja, was built by Emperor Shengwu in the Nara era (8th century AD). The Giant Buddha Hall is the largest existing wooden structure in the world. ?
In 753 A.D., Jian Zhen, a monk in the Tang Dynasty, went through all kinds of hardships to build a temporary ring altar in front of the Buddhist temple to give a ring to the emperor's father and other monks and nuns. Tan Jieyuan, on the west side of the Great Buddha Hall, is the place where Jian Zhen monks usually give lectures. There is a Tan Jie room (Golden Hall), a lecture hall and a monk room, which is very small. Shortly after the completion of Zhao Ti Temple in the Tang Dynasty, Jian Zhen, a monk of the Tang Dynasty, moved to Zhao Ti Temple, where relevant personnel still taught the precepts.
Nara Buddha in the temple, as a symbol of the ancient capital Nara, is one of the three major Buddha statues in Japan, with a height of15m, which is the biggest attraction. ?
Every year from March 1, the famous water-drawing festival of Nara Hutian Temple begins. At about 7 pm, monks waved huge torches and ran in the cloister of the February Temple. It is said that if you can touch Mars, you will be safe within one year. This is the last thing to miss in the water-saving festival. This activity will last until 14. "Pumping" was held in the early morning of 13, which was the climax of the whole activity. On this day, monks draw water that will only gush out in front of the temple building and offer it to the Buddha. It is said that this water has the power to cure all diseases. If you had gone to Nara, I believe your journey would have been more colorful.
Chunri shrine
Founded in 768 AD, Chunri Dashe is the head office of more than 0/000 Chunri shrines in Japan/KLOC. The Red Shrine is full of energy and is listed in the World Heritage List as "the cultural property of Nara, the ancient capital". There are more than 2,000 stone lanterns on the access road to the shrine, and nearby Nara Park is littered with deer that have been regarded as sacred since ancient times. The whole area is full of the power of nature and faith.
It is worth mentioning that the prototype of the adult mask in Spring in Miyazaki Hayao's animation "Spirited Away" is a "face-hiding" mask used by the Spring Club when it holds a dance performance.
Chunri Dashe (かすがたぃしゃ) is a shrine in Nara Park, Naraichi, Nara Prefecture, formerly known as Chunri Shrine. It was built in the second year of Heping (7 10). The builder is Fujiwara. The temple built for the patron saint of Fujiwara family who was in power at that time was also famous for rattan. The only gods worshipped in society are Wu Weng's hammer life, Jin Jing's cure life, Tian Erwu's root life and Bimai God. The memorial day of the shrine is March 13 (Spring Festival).
Lovers country club
Near the big club in spring, it is very popular. It is a shrine to pray for harmony between husband and wife, and it is also a place where Japanese weddings are often held.
After visiting the Spring Club, you can buy a lovely deer refrigerator and taste matcha and milk ice cream. ?
Nara Park
Nara Park covers an area of 660 hectares, including Dongda Temple, Xiaofu Temple and Zhengcang Courtyard inherited from Tian Ping period (7 10-784). This is a magnificent tree-lined historical park. The most famous is the deer herd of Chunri Society, which is regarded as the messenger of God and taken good care of by people. In addition, there are mainly eight cherry blossoms and nine cherry blossoms in Nara, and there are about 1700 cherry trees of different varieties in the park. In particular, there are many scenic spots worth seeing in the park, such as Luchi, Ruocao Mountain Foothill, Dongta Ruins, Xiaofu Temple Area, Huangchi, Kasugano Garden and Dongda Temple. I suggest you spend more time and enjoy them carefully.
There are more than 1000 deer scattered in the park, including cherry blossoms in spring, green trees in summer, red leaves in autumn and plum blossoms in winter. The beautiful scenery all year round makes you linger. Close contact with the lovely deer. ?
In order to protect the safety of tourists and prevent the trees in Nara Park from being damaged, Nara Park will hold a traditional activity of "sawing antlers" every year on the Sunday of the first half of June in 65438+ 10. The process of "sawing antlers" is that a person named "Shizi" catches the deer, pours holy wine to make it settle down, and then the holy official saws off the antlers.
Dai Temple is a synthesis of Japanese Buddhist legalists. Known as the Temple of Zhao Ti. Xijing Five Articles in Naraichi, Japan. It, together with Tan Jieyuan, Dongda Temple, are two Dojo for spreading and studying law.
The Tang Zhao Temple was built by Jian Zhen, a monk of the Tang Dynasty in China. It is the general temple of Japanese Buddhist legalists. This building with the architectural style of China's prosperous Tang Dynasty was recognized as a Japanese national treasure. After Jian Zhen (688-763 AD), a monk of the Tang Dynasty, made his sixth voyage to the Western Ocean, the construction of Tianpingbaozi began in the third year (759 AD) and was completed in about 770 AD. The red banner "Tang Zhao Ti Temple" on the gate of the temple was written by Japanese queen Xiao Gan after imitating Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi.
The main hall of the temple-Jintang, with 7 facades and 4 sides, is located on the stone platform about 1 m high, which is the largest and most beautiful building in Tian Ping era. The golden Buddha statue of Lushena, the main Buddha, is enshrined in the Jintang, with a height of 3.7 meters and made of dry paint unique to Nara era. The 5.36-meter-high Avalokitesvara Buddha statue on both sides and the 2.03-meter-high Tathagata Buddha statue are all dry-painted wooden hearts. In front of the three Buddha statues, there are two small statues of Brahma and Indra, and four wooden statues of heavenly kings. There are also wooden Tathagata Buddha statues in the early days of Heian, among which Jintang, Lushena Buddha, Thousand-handed Guanyin Buddha and Tathagata Buddha are all national treasures of Japan. ?
There are nine lecture halls at the back of Jintang, which are also Japan's national treasures. It was originally a hall of the Peace Palace, which was built in the early 8th century. It was donated by the royal family when the temple was built, and later moved into the temple, leaving the only building for the Peace Palace. There is a painted Buddha statue of Maitreya Tathagata in the lecture hall. There are two pavilions on both sides of the Buddha statue that look like sedan chairs. This is where Jian Zhen gives lectures. In the courtyard of the lecture hall, there is a collection of scriptures/kloc-0 brought by Jian Zhen from China more than 200 years ago.
