Love lasts a lifetime

After Xiaoqian and the others sang and played in the middle temple, they walked to the lower temple.

The lower temple is relatively spacious and flat.

There is a relatively new house.

Xiao Li asked:"Why is there such a modern house in the temple?"

Xiao Qian said:"Before liberation, the county magistrate of Yiliang built it here for vacation.

When I was in elementary school, we came here for a picnic. I once saw that the gate of this house was guarded by soldiers with machine guns. It was very strict and mysterious."

"The Frenchmen came here to drink the divine water when they were building the railway. The county magistrate guarding Yiliang certainly followed in his footsteps and came here to drink the divine water in the hope of prolonging life and enjoying happiness!"Xiao Li said

"Didn’t we also drink the divine water today? Like the county magistrate, we can also live longer."

"That's natural. If you don't believe it, as long as the two of us come here to drink the sacred water every New Year, we will definitely live a hundred years in two days!"

The two of them happily walked to the side of the building.

On the side is the place where monks and nuns eat vegetarian meals.

There is a plaque hanging on the door with three big characters of 'Shu Yu Zhai' written on it.

Xiao Li asked Xiao Qian :"Why is this place for eating vegetarian food called 'Shu Yu Zhai'?’？"

Xiaoqian said:"This…….I don’t understand either. Let’s go in and ask."

At this time, an old man wearing glasses came over, and Xiaoqian asked respectfully:"Excuse me, old man, why is this place called 'Shu Yu Zhai'?’？"

The old man said to her:"This was originally just a dilapidated bungalow where a few nuns had vegetarian meals.

It is said that when Chen Yuanyuan came to Yaquan Temple to live in seclusion, he ate vegetarian meals with the nuns here every day.

Therefore, after reconstruction, it has opened They built a canteen for vegetarian meals.

Chen Yuanyuan dressed up as a nun when she was practicing here, and her Buddhist name was"Shuyu", so she named this place where she eats vegetarian meals"Shuyuzhai"."

"It turns out that Yaquan Temple is really not simple. Even Chen Yuanyuan came here to practice and live here, and it has a good reputation."Xiao Li said

"That's not all, let me tell you, my country's Chinese master Qian Muyu lived here for a year in 1938 and wrote the historical masterpiece"Outline of National History".

In"Miscellaneous Talks of Personal Friends", he praised Yaquan Temple.

His nephew, the famous Chinese scientist Qian Weichang, also lived here for three months, and when he visited Yaquan Temple for the third time in 1994, he married his noble lady here.

He happily wrote the inscription"Yajianquan Qingyang has a good relationship."

So Yaquan Temple is very famous in Yunnan"

"Although I grew up in Yiliang, I didn’t know this. The old gentleman is really knowledgeable and knows everything."

"What I said is recorded in the county annals of Yiliang.

As for Yaquan Temple, it was built over a long period of time. I know that some highly respected monks and masters have visited and stayed there.

It seems that you are also knowledgeable people, let’s go! I’ll take you to the back garden for a walk and then introduce it to you! introduce! Statue of Chen Yuanyuan"

"This is all thanks to the old man!"Xiao Li said.

It's true;

Yaquan Temple is really attractive, and the county magistrate also drank the sacred water.

Chen Yuanyuan came here to practice, and national celebrities came here to live in seclusion.
