It is worth noting that the reason for rebuilding the treasure house. First look at how long it has been since the last repair. According to the "Tongzhi Suzhou Fuzhi" records, the previous repairs in the "Kuangxi reign of the reign of the country, there is a cultivator of the Tao Yuan, the heart of the building, the establishment of Platinum 40,000 odd, the Grand Palace Baoge, completed and completed. More than forty For the rest of the year, the law of Hu Degu was heavily painted with algae, and the expansion of the Fangzhang and the salary, followed by the extension, Shaosheng lost.
The previous repair was completed by the Shi Daoyuan initiative during the Kangxi period. After 40 years of construction of the Great Hall, Hu Degu added decorations on this basis to expand the scale. From the Kangxi period to the 38th year of Emperor Qianlong, after several decades, the literature records that there was no repair in the middle, then the Taoist dynasty after decades of wind and rain erosion, it is indeed urgent to repair.
Secondly, Qianlong’s repairs in the 38th year were not only due to years of disrepair, but also the factors that led to the promotion of Xuanmiao’s status. According to "Tongzhi Suzhou Fuzhi" records:
In the 16th year of Emperor Qianlong, the sacred drive south tour, in the Zhuchen in the Guanzhong set up the altar, I wish Ci Ning Wanshou, driving relatives. Six years later, the Wanfu altar was built again. The three hundred engravings were for the incense, and the royal book was forbidden to slap three: a singularity of silence, a glimpse of Mu Qingyuan, and a jewel. Five years later, the South Tour. Three years later, the South Tour. The ceremony is also like this.
From the 16th year of Emperor Qianlong (1751) to the 30th year of Emperor Qianlong (1765), Emperor Qianlong’s four southern patrols came to Xuanmiao’s view, not only to pray in the altar, but also to reward the incense and the royal book, which is the view of Xuanmiao. During the period, he was valued by Emperor Qianlong, and also showed the position of Suzhou Taoism in the Jiangnan area during this period. During this period, the repair of Suzhou Xuanmiao Temple was supported by the government. "Tongzhi Suzhou Fuzhi" contains:
In the winter of the 38th year of Emperor Qianlong, the residents outside the temple did not quit the fire, and extended to the door of the temple and the gate of the Lei Zun Temple. Therefore, the governor of the Sagong, the priests of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect of the sect The year was completed, the number of work was 26,000, and the fee was 62,000. The ruins of the ruins of the temple were destroyed by the priests, and the singer was still stunned.
The repairs and the previous ones were in the 38th year of Qianlong, but there are obvious differences. The previous repairs were proposed by Taoist priests such as Shi Daoyuan and Lu Yicun, and were funded by private donations. This time, the governor and the servants negotiated and repaired and received funding from the government.
In the Jiaqing dynasty, in the 12th year of Jiaqing (1807), the inscription on the "Sanmao Temple Rehabilitation of the Court" was recorded:
There are thirteen courtyards in the county town Xuanmiao Temple. There is a Doum Court in Sanmao Temple. It began in the first year of Emperor Qianlong's Bingchen, and Mr. Xue Huaishi was the literary record. After reading for more than 60 years, the abbot Xu Duanqi added and repaired, like setting a solemnity... Still remembering Geng Xinhai, the Temple of Fire was completed, only after ten years, there was a battle of Zi Ge, before this to help good faith, such as Gu, Ru Shi, such as Peng, such as the Song family, have their own, after the resurrection...
In the 12th year of Jiaqing, the restoration of Xuanmiao Guantume was initiated by the abbot Xu Duanqi and received support from believers. Generally speaking, in the Qianjia period, under the trend of Taoism's overall micro-division, Suzhou Taoism still has a good foundation of believers in the private sector and has received strong support from the believers.
