Sun Quan constructs the story of Longhua tower, is well-known in still sea. But this has the myth color legend. From the historical record, Longhua Temple and Longhua tower constructed at the North Song years probably. No matter what, Longhua Temple is over a thousand years of historic monuments, is worthy of the millennium ancient temple name, moreover from the Ming Dynasty time, „ the Longhua Wan ZhongwasShanghai city eight sceneryone. 孙权建龙华塔的故事,在尚海妇孺皆知。但这只是具有神话色彩的传说。从历史记载来看,龙华寺和龙华塔大概建于北宋年间。不管怎样,龙华寺是一处上千年的历史古迹,更无愧于千年古刹的名称,而且从明代时候起,“龙华晚钟“就是“沪城八景“之一。 Actually the historical site like Longhua Temple, still sea also has many, for example Jing'an Temple, Yufu Temple and town god's temple, are the burning incense good destinations. But still sea peripheral also has famous Lingyin Temple, Cold Mountain Temple and Baoguo Temple, have of Mount Putuo Buddhism four big famous mountains. Although Longhua Temple was inferior that peripheral Lingyin Temple and Cold Mountain Temple reputation is prominent, but the position still sea slow to be able Longhua Temple in area, without a doubt is still sea area oldest, the largest ancient temples, almost constructs with Lingyin Temple at the same time, has saved the world more than 1700 years. 其实像龙华寺这样的古迹,尚海还有不少,比如静安寺、玉佛寺、城隍庙、都是上香的好去处。而尚海周边还有大名鼎鼎的灵隐寺、寒山寺、保国寺,更有佛教四大名山之一的普陀山。龙华寺虽不如周边的灵隐寺、寒山寺名声显赫,但位处尚海徐会区的龙华寺,毫无疑问是尚海地区历史最久、规模最大的古刹,跟灵隐寺差不多同一时间修建,都已存世1700多年了。 Although Longhua Temple is situated quite remotely, is in Huaxia cross lunar new year's eve, here is still extremely busy, the Huaxia person always has cuts in the fragrant custom in the new year, in journey Xiaoyu the memory, the temple fragrance of previous generation is the flowered soaring money for incense and lanterns comes buying. 虽然龙华寺地处比较偏僻,可是在华夏跨年夜,这里依旧热闹非凡,华夏人向来有新年抢头香的习俗,在程晓羽的记忆里,前世的寺庙头香都是花高昂的香油钱来“买”的。 But is different in this space and time, the temple regarding a city, and even a country, is sacred, leads the followers to observe ten thousand years of inheritance until now creed like the Saint light. Therefore has not looked like the space and time in memory, the temple can commercialize, therefore fragrance by snatching, every year the lunar New Year's Eve not only cuts in fragrant is a grand activity of entire city participation, often snatches a fragrant person at the meeting the news. Not only there are to cut in the fragrant activity, 12 points will have the Buddhist ceremony that strikes a gong and prays from now on, although therefore is midnight, here tide of people is still crowded, and to temple also several kilometers times, the vehicle has been full. 但在这个时空不一样,寺庙对于一个城市,乃至一个国家来说,是神圣的,像圣光一样带领着信徒们遵守着万年传承至今的信条。因此并没有像记忆中的时空,寺庙都可以商业化,所以头香是靠抢的,每年除夕不仅抢头香是一项全城参与的盛大活动,抢得头香的人还时常会上新闻。不仅有抢头香的活动,十二点过后还有敲钟、祈福的法事,因此虽然是半夜,这里依旧人潮拥挤,并且离寺庙还有几公里的时候,车子就已经停满了。 journey Xiaoyu somewhat regretted that at this time has not opened mini comes out, after all mini looks for the berth to want easy many. When with great difficulty just has the car(riage) to walk, journey Xiaoyu stopped opportunistically, garish Revington captured the attention to be innumerable as before. 程晓羽这个时候才有些后悔没开迷你出来,毕竟迷你找车位要容易的多。好不容易等到刚好有车要走,程晓羽才见缝插针的停了进去,扎眼的雷文顿依旧吸引了目光无数。 Landing time, Su Yu wore the mask, journey Xiaoyu looks that the head is also clamping moe moe's rabbit ear shield Su Yu, thought that for the first time can also describe her with the cute this glossary. 下车的时候,苏虞兮带上了口罩,程晓羽看着头上还夹着萌萌的兔子耳罩的苏虞兮,第一次觉得还能用可爱这个词汇形容她。 Two people get out, at this time has crossed zero point to cut in the fragrant time, many people have finished attending the fragrance toward returning. journey Xiaoyu feels quite novel actually, no matter because, did not have so officially comes to the temple to get up excessively fragrant. 两人下了车,此时已经过了零点抢头香的时间,已经有不少人上完香在朝回走了。程晓羽倒是觉得颇为新奇,因为不管哪个自己,都还没有如此正式的来寺庙上过香。 Because was still far from the temple, although the street light such as the torch is illuminating the road in vanguard generally, but actually cannot see the outline of temple, two people following stream of people faces forward the line, the both sides peach tree forest, various type peach trees are continuous, sinuous, in the temple the ding is melodious, before after just like , the wave pushes the wave, overlapping, the aftertaste is unceasing. 因为距离寺院尚远,路灯虽然如炬一般照亮着前行的路,但却看不见寺庙的轮廓,两人跟着人流朝前而行,两侧桃树成林,各式桃树连绵不绝,曲径通幽,寺里钟声悠扬,犹如后浪推前浪,层层叠叠,余韵不绝。 Su Yu is quite obviously familiar with here, said to journey Xiaoyu: Spring the season, the view is quite beautiful, the grass long hawk flies, the peach blossom is in full bloom, bright red like picture, such as the sunset glow is eye-catching, bright utmost. My mother believes in Buddhism, this year before your college entrance examination, but also asked the bamboo slip for you specially, this year the Qingming Festival also makes Buddhist meeting for your mother specially. 苏虞兮显然对这里比较熟悉,对程晓羽说道:“阳春时节来,景致比较美,草长莺飞,桃花盛开,嫣红如画,又如红霞夺目,灿烂之至。我妈信佛,今年你高考之前,还特意替你来求了签,今年清明节还特意替你妈妈做了场法会。” Regarding these things, Auntie Zhou has not raised, journey Xiao the feather naturally does not know, but he knew at this moment, actually does not know that said anything is good, incapability that very thanks such glossary expressed sometimes, but gratitude such words and expressions, journey Xiaoyu felt oneself said is also too artificial, he smiles to Su Yu fills with sigh with emotion saying: Really was laborious Auntie Zhou.” 对于这些事情,周姨没提过,程晓羽自然不知道,但他此刻知道了,却不知道说什么才好,“谢谢”这样的词汇有些时候表达的很无力,而感激这样的字句,程晓羽觉得自己说出来又太矫情,他笑了笑对苏虞兮满怀感慨的说道:“真是辛苦周姨了。” Su Yu said lightly: In my mother opinion, whole family gathers, four fates, repay a debt of gratitude, revenge, dun and repay a debt, no matter that type, is the special chance, you and my mother, although does not have the reality of mother and child, has the name of mother and child, therefore is good to you should be, said again should not have the next generation to meet, and line and treasures.” 苏虞兮淡淡说道:“在我妈看来,一家人的相聚,有四种缘分,报恩、报仇、讨债、还债,不管是那种,都是特殊的机缘,你和我妈,虽无母子之实,却有母子之名,因此对你好是应该的,再说应该没有下辈子能遇见了,且行且珍惜。” journey Xiaoyu silent one will say: Can with you be the whole family, is I biggest good fortune.” Although the still Hai's night wind is somewhat cold, but journey Xiaoyu looks at the Longhua Temple red wooden paint front door that approaches, the brown fence of standing tall and erect, the feeling is very comfortable, spits the mist that among the breaths emits to draw this winter atmosphere as before, but journey Xiaoyu had smelled the spring aura. 程晓羽沉默了一会说道:“能和你们是一家人,是我最大的福分。”尚海夜晚的风虽然有些寒冷,但程晓羽看着渐近的龙华寺红色木漆大门,高耸的土黄色围墙,却感觉很舒适,吐息之间冒出的雾气依旧描画这个冬季的氛围,可程晓羽已经嗅到了春的气息。 Enters the temple front door time, many followers are the plastic bag of bringing are coming to worship Buddha, the somewhat devout follower even passes through the gate starts to bow politely. The head of entrance not far loose wealth young lad, almost every passing by person will trace, the top of the head had been traced brightly clear. 进寺院大门的时候,很多信徒都是就着自带的塑料袋前来拜佛,有些虔诚的信徒甚至进门就开始叩拜。门口不远的散财童子的头,几乎每个路过的人都会摸一下,以致于头顶已被摸得澄亮。 Longhua Temple is completely the flavor of Buddhist temple, was short of some ancient meanings after the reconditioning, although the follower is numerous, almost crowds one another, but everyone is serene, no one clamored, therefore appeared the scenery to be lonesome and quiet, the palace was palatial, the gold and greens hooked shining, the Zen rhyme was dignified. 龙华寺完全就是佛寺的味道,经过翻修少了些古旧之意,虽然信徒众多,几乎接踵摩肩,可人人安详,也无人喧哗,所以更显得景色幽静,殿宇巍峨,金碧钩耀,禅韵庄严凝重。 Although is before dawn, because the day is special, the clergy are many, the chanting scripture sound still in the ear bank, the yellow robe cassock shuttles back and forth in the temple, some people have not spoken a few words, peaceful is very pure. 尽管是凌晨,但因为日子特殊,僧侣很多,念经声音犹在耳畔,黄袍袈裟穿梭于寺中,却不曾有人多说一句话,安静的很纯正。 Su Yu led journey Xiaoyu to buy the fragrance, was inexpensive, more than ten Yuan Huaxia coin one bunch, two people burnt incense worshipped buddha to go to Tianwangdian to contribute the merit after the Maitreya religion palace. 苏虞兮带了程晓羽去买了香,也不贵,才十几元华夏币一束,两人在弥勒殿烧香礼佛之后又去了天王殿捐了功德。 The main building Main Hall of line to Longhua Temple, the entrance formed the long slip line, this construction for double eave resting mountain, draws support from the station base topography and contrast of treasure palace all around construction, gives grand hero to fly the aesthetic sense. Under the palace eave, hangs together „the Longhua ten sides plaque , indicating that Longhua Temple implements ten side jungle systems. 行至龙华寺的主体建筑大雄宝殿,门口排了一长溜的队伍,此建筑为双檐歇山式,借助于台基地势和宝殿前后左右建筑的衬托,给人以壮丽雄飞之美感。殿檐下,悬一块“龙华十方”匾,表明龙华寺实行十方丛林制。 journey Xiaoyu and Su Yu lined up the main hall, the passing through the gate both sides had couplets hung in front one: „If the dignified lord partner is wonderfully clear Spirit Mountain just like not to disperse ; Originally Buddha body pure Saint every body bodhi helps somebody to achieve his goal immediately.” 程晓羽和苏虞兮排队进了大殿,进门两侧有楹联一副:“如是妙相庄严主伴并彰灵山会俨然未散;本来佛身清净圣凡一体菩提道当下圆成。” Su Yu and led journey Xiaoyu to kneel on Shakya Mani front burnt a joss stick, journey Xiaoyu looked at Su Yu secretly closing one's eyes wishing time, some buddhist image dignified feelings, only thought that she and present golden image of Buddha set each other off unexpectedly. 苏虞兮又带着程晓羽跪在释迦摩尼面前上了一炷香,程晓羽偷瞧苏虞兮的闭眼祈愿的时候,很有宝相庄严的感觉,只觉得她和眼前的金色的佛像竟然相映生辉。 By Main Hall also consecrated 20 various heaven, having is the golden light is bright, face rich and smooth, is elegant-looking, the righteous qi cold statue, journey Xiaoyu did not think that these appearance fierce image of Buddha distortions, he thought that these images of Buddha have the beauty of art very much. 大雄宝殿两侧还供奉了二十诸天,具是金光熠熠,面庞丰润,神态端庄,正气凛凛的塑像,程晓羽一点都不觉得这些面貌狰狞的佛像扭曲,他觉得这些佛像很有艺术之美。 Had/Left Main Hall, the right side sound thorough room restaurant, what a pity has not opened at night, journey Xiaoyu feels was somewhat a pity, two people walk in the stream of people, journey Xiaoyu curious asking: You do not believe in Buddhism, why burns incense, I can actually feel your irreverence.” 出了大雄宝殿,右侧有素斋餐厅,可惜夜间并未开放,程晓羽觉得有些可惜,两人走在人流中,程晓羽好奇的问道:“你不信佛,为什么上香的时候,我却能感觉到你的虔诚。” Su Yu said: Indeed I do not believe in Buddhism, but Buddhism with me, is a very interesting division/discipline, as manifestation of belief embodiment, existence of temple, same is very to me interesting like the philosophy, thought-provoking, is worth researching. Also, I like this tranquility very much, the auspicious, devout atmosphere, making me like seeing the world of beings without form day of inverted image. The carrier of philosophy is this world all, exists or not happened or not ; The carrier of Buddhist studies and theology is their Confucian classics( Confucian classics back spirit, rather than Confucian classics writing). Therefore the rational part( philosophy and science) the center of ideological dissemination iswith realistic conjunction, but the center of Buddhist studies theology dissemination is comprehends behind the writing, gives priority to the authority especially. ” 苏虞兮道:“的确我不信佛,但与我而言佛教,是一门很有意思的学科,作为一种信仰具象化的体现,寺庙的存在,对我来说如同哲学一样很有意思,耐人寻味,值得研究。还有,我很喜欢这种宁静,祥和,虔诚的气氛,让我如同看到了倒影的无色界天。哲学的载体是这个世界发生的一切,存在与否发生与否;佛学和神学的载体是他们的经书(经书背后的精神,而非经书文字)。所以理性部分(哲学和科学)思想传播的中心是“与现实契合”,而佛学神学传播的中心是“参悟文字背后”,尤以权威性为重。” journey Xiaoyu said: Personal inclination in regards as the intermediate zone of science and theology the philosophy, is so-calledelaborates the theology phenomenon scientifically( non- rational phenomenon)”. In fact when we have certainly rational, we understood that a matter will only have four possibilities: Understood rationally the rational understandable matter( science), understood the matter that rationally the rationality is unable to understand at present( philosophy), gives up the rationality the matter that but the perceptual cognitive rationality is unable to understand at present( theology), gives up the rationality, but perceptual cognitive rational understandable matter( ignorant). In these four possibilities, the last type was abandoned ; Meanwhile as a result of the monotone increasing tendency of rational system, the scientific category will be getting bigger and bigger, the theology category getting smaller, the philosophy category will move slowly .......... ”( reaches an agreement did not say philosophy...) 程晓羽道:“个人倾向于把哲学看作科学和神学的中间地带,也就是所谓“科学地阐述神学现象(非理性现象)”。事实上当我们具备一定理性的时候,我们去理解一件事情只会有四种可能:理性地理解理性可以理解的事(科学),理性地理解理性目前无法理解的事(哲学),放弃理性而感性认知理性目前无法理解的事(神学),放弃理性而感性认知理性可以理解的事(愚昧)。这四种可能中,最后一种是被摒弃的;同时由于理性系统的单调递增倾向,科学范畴会越来越大,神学范畴会越来越小,哲学范畴会慢慢移动..........”(说好的不说哲学的...) Two people crossed Sanshengdian, the right front is Mudanyuan, inside has the pool that spring water of limpid fresh tasting forms, with several thick banyan figs, on the banyan fig filled the red thread, with writing the red silk of name, the tree was called the marriage affinity tree, the pool was called wishing pond. 两人过了三圣殿,右前方是牡丹园,里面有一眼清澈甘冽的泉水汇成的池子,和几颗粗大的榕树,榕树上系满了红绳,和写有名字的红绸,树被称之为姻缘树,池子被称为许愿池。 In the pool overspread the coin, many people are gathering round the pool to throw the coin, journey Xiaoyu also force one's way to look at one, originally under the pool has the lotus flower that the toads of many opening mouth and are in full bloom, journey Xiaoyu listens to nearby Sir to the child to explain, throws into the toad to bring the good luck in making money the coin, throws into the lotus flower to test into the foremost person in the field to have a very successful official career. 池子里铺满了硬币,不少人正围着池子投掷硬币,程晓羽也挤进去看了一眼,原来池子底下有很多张开嘴的蟾蜍和盛开的莲花,程晓羽听旁边的大人跟小孩子解释,将硬币投进蟾蜍能带来财运,投进莲花则能考上状元官运亨通。 Under a big banyan fig one side also has the elderly man of features suggesting extraordinariness and immortality to set out a small table, above is suspending the bamboo tube containing lot for divination, the red silk writing brush, with a piles of money, he not only provides to swing obviously signs solution sign the business, the red silk apply name/reputation business, but also provides the exchange money the business, but he seems like not the monk in temple. 一株大榕树下一边还有个仙风道骨的老人家摆着张小桌子,上面摆着签筒,红绸毛笔,和一摞摞的钱币,显然他不仅提供摇签解签的业务,红绸涂名的业务,还提供兑换钱币的业务,但他看上去又不是寺院里的僧。 journey Xiaoyu walks to ask how the coin trades, the old man looked at journey Xiaoyu saying: Trades one handling charge five Yuan, trading 100 handling charges is also five Yuan.” 程晓羽走过去问硬币怎么换,老头看了眼程晓羽道:“换一枚手续费五元,换一百枚手续费也是五元。” journey Xiao the feather is somewhat surprised, asks: Why is five Yuan?” 程晓羽有些惊讶,问道:“为什么都是五元呢?” The old man replied: Five Yuan, are miss , collects your money to express that your I miss.” 老头答道:“五元,乃无缘也,收你的钱表示你我无缘。” journey Xiao the feather big feeling is interesting, asks: „Doesn't that receive money on the representative is predestined friends?” 程晓羽大感有趣,问道:“那不收钱就代表有缘咯?” The old man puts down the writing brush saying: That is natural!” 老头搁下毛笔说道:“那是自然!” journey Xiaoyu also asked: May be predestined friends misses not to say by you?” 程晓羽又问:“可有缘无缘不都是由你说的吗?” The wrinkle on old facial countenance flood opens, says with a smile: You must throw a coin to enter the lotus, threw a coin to enter the toad, your I was predestined friends, not only did not receive your five Yuan, will also be counted a bamboo slip for you free.” 老头脸上的皱纹泛开,笑道:“你要掷了一枚硬币进荷花,掷了一枚硬币进蟾蜍,你我就是有缘,不仅不收你五元,还会免费替你算上一签。” Su Yu walks, saw an old man saying: Elder Brother, do not believe his, told fortunes and asks to sign bases on the statistics with the thing that the psychology came out, these things were yourself tell him, but you do not know, this had nothing mysteriously, we walked.” 苏虞兮走过来,看了眼老头道:“哥,别信他的,算命和求签都是基于统计学跟心理学出来的东西,那些东西都是你自己告诉他的,但你不知道,这没什么神奇的,我们还是走吧。” The old man looked at carefully Su Yu the moment to say carefully: Miss, I sees your life plate belt/bring ghost, but is willing to make me be counted an trigram?” 老头仔细端详了苏虞兮片刻说道:“姑娘,我见你的命盘带煞,可愿让我算上一卦?” ( Asked to sign ........ is not right, asks ticket!!!)
