Chaoyang Shuangzhong Ancestral Hall, a charming tour of the cultural holy land
In February, all parts of the country began to work normally, and in the Chaoshan area, the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival has not yet dissipated. The Chaoshan people held a meeting to welcome the gods, a grand event that has been passed down from generation to generation, showing their cherishing and inheritance of traditional culture. And among these gods, the Shuangzhong saint is the god believed in by the people of Chaoyang.
Chaoshan people's feelings for "gods" and "chivalry" are often very deep. And "life to protect Suiyang, life to guard Chaoyang" is the Chaoyang people's respect for this "double loyalty" saint. Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan, two great heroes of the Tang Dynasty, did not hesitate to die in order to protect Suiyang City, and their loyalty and righteousness were admired by the people of Chaoyang. Now, the "Shuangzhong Temple" on the land of Chaoyang is the most noble spiritual hometown in the hearts of the people of Chaoyang.
The legend of the saint has a long history. These two people are Zhang Xun and Xu Yuan, both of whom were famous figures in the Tang Dynasty. During the Tang Anshi Rebellion, they were ordered to guard Suiyang City, and finally died at the moment when the city was breached. In order to commend his bravery and loyalty, Suzong of the Tang Dynasty ordered the construction of a shrine in Suiyang County to commemorate his heroes, and his deeds were passed on to future generations. Shuangzhong Temple has become a sacred place in the minds of the people of Chaoyang, and the incense is flourishing every year.
In the Chaoyang area, people play a pivotal role in the "double shrine". In the cotton city, there are also many such statues in the City God Temple and the Lingdong Ancient Temple. Every "Shuangzhong Festival", each temple should solemnly sacrifice the statue of "Shuangzhong King" and parade along the street to seek peace. This is not only a sacrificial activity, but also a festival that reflects the national spirit of unity, courage and loyalty of the people of Chaoyang.
Shuangzhongsa Temple is a solemn and elegant temple that attracts a large number of pilgrims every day. It is not only a place of religious activities for the people of Chaoyang, but also a historical site with a long history. The various utensils and historical materials in the temple record the long history and customs of Chaoyang. The large-scale float parade held at the "Shuangzhong Festival" has brought a unique visual enjoyment to Chinese and foreign tourists.
It is not only the embodiment of faith, but also the spirit and symbol of Chaoyang. Visiting the ancient temple can not only appreciate the religious thoughts and customs of the people of Chaoyang, but also deeply appreciate the profound history and humanistic connotation of this area. In this solemn atmosphere, we seem to be able to hear the echoes of the ancients, listen to the call of the ancestors, and embark on a journey of the soul.
