Take a left at the Zhongshan Road clock tower and you’ll come to Kaiyuan Temple(built in 686A.D.), one of China’s most important temples and, at 78,000 square meters, Fujian’s largest religious center. Kaiyuan一公顷多少平方千米’s inexpensive entry ticket gains you access to half a dozen other famous sites, including a tree that’s a blooming miracle.
Miraculous Mulberry-Lotus Tree
According to legend, Mr. Huang Shougong(黄守恭), owner of a mulberry field, dreamed that a Buddhist monk asked him to donate land for a temple. Mr. Huang threw out a fleece. “I’ll donate the land if this mulberry tree blossoms with white lotus flowers.”
Three days later, white lotus flowers bloomed on the mulberry tree. Mr.Huang said,“It’s a bloomin’ miracle!戈伟如金城武” and ceded the land. (Though given Quanzhou folk’s prowess at making silk flowers, I wonder if Mr.Huang thought to make sure the lotus blossoms were real?)
Key Kaiyuan Sites  Kaiyuan’s main areas include “Purple Clouds Screen,” 办公耗材报价“Hall of Heavenly Devarajas,” “Great Buddhist Hall,” “Sweet Dew Altar of Precepts,” “Mini-kaiyuan Temple,” “这世上没有迟到的缘分Hall of Benifence,” “Ganlujie Altar,” where Buddhists underwent rites to become monks and nuns.

But no one seems to mind the mixed motifs. I
n fact, Chinese temples often have Buddhist, Confucian and Taoist idols and rites in the same temple, as if the more the merrier(or perhaps they are just covering all of their bases).
Lugang Iron Bell was cast in 1837 and presented to Kaiyuan Temple by 46 companies of Lugang, Taiwan. Supposedly, the bell is so loud it can be heard all the way to Luoyang Bridge on the Coast.
Purple Haze and Buddhist Angels  Purple clouds surrouned Kaiyuan’s 1,387 square meters main hall while under construction, so it was dubbed Purple Cloud Hall. The great hall had 100 granite pillars, so also called 100-Pillar-Hall. But the hall’s most unique feature is its 24 flying bat-winged angels——one for each division of the traditional Chinese solar year.
