Qinglong Ancient Temple, also called Anji Wang Temple, why one temple has two names, one temple has many gods, listen to me to tell clearly.
In ancient times, there is an ancient temple here, there are often green snakes in the temple, the ancients regarded the green snake as a small dragon, the dragon king can give rain, the ancestors of Chaozhou will worship it, so this temple is called Qinglong Temple.
In the Song Dynasty, this temple added gods, which gods?
There is an ancient precept in Chaozhou, "there is no Wang and his wife, there are three immortal masters first", in the Song Dynasty, one day, Chaozhou drought, the three immortal divisions passed through Chaozhou, praying for rain for the people, and the Chao people were grateful to enshrine the three immortal masters into the Qinglong Temple together.
In the Ming Dynasty, the tide man Xie Shaocang will bring the statue of Yongchang Taishou Wang couple home during the Three Kingdoms period, one day, the Han River sent a big flood, when it was critical, the tide people invited the statue of Wang Yan to the embankment, you said how magical, the flood receded and turned the danger into a disaster. In the 17th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1589), the Chaozhou government rebuilt the ancient temple of Qinglong, and the statue of Wang Ling was enshrined in this town of flooding, and at the same time the king and his wife were named the king of Anjiling. After thousands of years of evolution, the current Anji Wang Temple is a cultural relics protection unit of Chaozhou, and it is also the cultural and geographical coordinates of the Chaozhou Maritime Silk Road, and the "Chaozhou Qinglong Temple Fair" held in the first month of each year is the intangible cultural heritage of Guangdong Province.
The Qinglong Temple Fair not only entrusts the people's simple yearning for a better life, but also entrusts the hometown of the hipsters at home and abroad, praying for the peace of the country, the wind and rain, the peace of the county, and the health of the family, these beautiful visions are the true meaning of the existence of this thousand-year-old temple.
