archaeological discoveries leads to mystery
mid-September this year, Archaeological Institute of Jinan County Lane West of Kaiyuan Temple ruins and archaeology is in. On the archaeological site, the team captain Gao Jixi calmly watching the scene every day, carefully inspected all unearthed cultural relics, even a very small fragments were not spared.
“no surprises, no surprise, even pitiful. “Gao Jixi said, unearthed in the archaeological heritage and in 2003 the archaeological excavations unearthed artifacts similar to basic, and most are sceptical.
2003-year and summer, City Institute on West Lane County conducted the first archaeological excavation of the site of Kaiyuan Temple, at that time, Gao Jixi is the head of the project.
on the harvest of 2003 that archaeology, Gao Jixi with one word: “surprise”. In the archaeological process, they found a brick built underground Palace in North Song dynasty, several statues during the Northern Qi dynasty Buddhist statues, two pit craters, as well as numerous scattered in the formation of stone statues, buildings, building components, and inscribed with “hidden”, “West”, “Tibet” Chinese inscription, such as end of the bowl. Especially the bricks to build the underground Palace, although in his early years was stolen, but still found a lot of valuable cultural relics. All of these relics unearthed, are proof that a conclusion here, is a major Buddhist cultural sites. Archaeological experts are excited about most is, found one tablet in the bottom of the underground Palace. On the Tablet, clearly one of the Kaiyuan za Bao temple by reservoirs of underground Palace in mind. Archaeological expert were think, this article Kaiyuan Temple repair hybrid Po by reservoir underground Palace remember under at least can proved following three points: one, here is Tang Kaiyuan Temple of site, Tang Kaiyuan temple on in County West lane area; second, from Tang to Ming dynasty, this temple has been called Kaiyuan Temple; its three, this temple of history first can back to North Korea period, from this about 1500 years. of Kaiyuan Temple in Jinan’s history has been full of mystery, related several historical records of Kaiyuan Temple, gives us a full room for conjecture. But only through archaeological finds of reliable physical, to prove and opened one by one and all mysteries of the Kaiyuan Temple-related.
“the excavation did not find clear writing, could not be more understanding of the Kaiyuan Temple at that time. “Gao Jixi slightly sorry to say. According to reports, the more important archaeological discovery was a statue of Northern Qi bodhisattva statues and a Tang dynasty buildings. It can be said that archaeological excavations is Kaiyuan temple this year once again, the location and the historic. However, for the second time after the archaeological, still has not been able to find physical evidence of enough to uncover two mysteries:
have brilliant Kaiyuan Temple how to disappear? Kaiyuan Temple and Buddhist Hui mountain outside the city in the city of Kaiyuan Temple, how does it matter?
Kaiyuan Temple main building mystery of the disappearing
Kaiyuan Temple was brilliant. The scale and archaeological finds from archaeological excavations, scale of Kaiyuan Temple has to be reckoned. Prosperity but . it is such a long history, incense, Buddhist culture of temples were and how they were buried deep underground, disappear altogether? according to the record, the Yuan dynasty, Kaiyuan Temple incense in the city of Jinan has been greater than the previous, the momentum effect and slowly decline. The early years of the Ming dynasty, Jinan, Shandong provincial capital, provincial government Yamen moved to Jinan. Dewangzhu see Lin into the Kaiyuan Temple Department of Jinan-Fu (West Lane East of the people’s political Consultative Conference addresses in this county), formerly Jinan Government Department into the Department of justice. Since then, the Kaiyuan Temple in the city of Jinan was come to an end, just leaving the building.
however, Gao Jixi believes that disappearance of Kaiyuan Temple in the city of Jinan, although some related records, but from the West during the archaeological excavation of roadway and no strong evidence was found to prove this assertion. So, in fact of Kaiyuan Temple in the city of Jinan in the end how to disappear, and requires further research. But one thing is clear, in the archaeological excavations, archaeological experts on West Lane County cultural layer found no remains of Buddhist culture in Ming and Qing dynasties, it can be inferred, in the city of Jinan has indeed ceased to exist during the Kaiyuan Temple in Ming and Qing dynasties.
even historical experts, disappearance of Kaiyuan Temple in the city of Jinan, is because the temple was converted into Department of Jinan-Fu, however, Government House of Kaiyuan Temple in the Department of architectural detail and how he disappeared? On the mystery, is not on the historical record, archaeological excavation results did not.
inside and outside the city of mystery of the origins of the Kaiyuan Temple
through archaeology before deciding the location of Kaiyuan Temple in the city of Jinan, has been made a guess: wisdom of the Buddha outside of the city also has a temple in the mountains, also called the Kaiyuan Temple, whether it is the historical records of the Tang dynasty Kaiyuan Temple in it? If not, it and new century temple in the city of Jinan has anything to do?
for the mystery, it was felt that, both within and outside of Jinan City Temple, is the inheritance relationship. In other words, the Jinan Kaiyuan temple outside the city, is the removal of Kaiyuan Temple in the city. People who hold this view is based on the continuation of Licheng County Annals · jinshi in the three records: early years of the Ming dynasty, Jinan Shandong provincial capital, into Jinan-Fu after the Department of Kaiyuan Temple, Temple, the monks have nowhere to go, then moved to Hui shan Buddha pagoda, Buddhist pagoda was renamed Kaiyuan Temple.
in order to prove this statement, archaeological experts have tried to live archaeological dig, find a direct proof that the “hard” evidence. But unfortunately is, consecutive two large-scale excavation, never could find archaeological experts recognized physical evidence.
