- An aged-old national key temple with an international fame
As one of the national key temples as well as the first of the five Buddhist temples in Fuzhou City, Xichan Temple has been stood for over 1130 years and underwent natural disasters and warring damages in its long-term development since built in 867 of Tang Dynasty (618-907).
Covering an area of 7.7 hectares, the temple is grand with 36 halls that all oriented south and north.
Xichan Temple enjoys a fame home and abroad. Today, it still designates monks to manage its overseas low houses of Shuanglin Temple in Singapore, Shuangqing Temple in Malaysia, South Putuo Temple, Guanyin Temple etc. in Vietnam.
Xichan Temple is no doubt a good platform to exchange culture and Buddhism among Southeast Asian countries; and also, a great number of foreign eminent monks and disciples flock to the temple every year, always making a big spectacle.
History of Xichan Temple and its precious historical relics
Xichan Temple was built by a great monk of Tang Dynasty, named Da An (793-883). Born in Fuqing County of Fujian Province, he was initiated into monkhood in his 24 in Qianyuan Temple, and then he visited in Jiangxi Province and later lived in Hunan Province for 30 years.
After he got back to Fujian Province and completed the construction of Xichan Temple, his followers lived in the temple have reached 3000. He also was once awarded as a master with a purple Kasaya robe and Tibetan sutra by the emperor.
Today, relevant records still can be found in the well-preserved tablet inscription of Tang Dynasty in the temple.
Later, another master of the temple, the abbot Hui Ji has planted 4 Litchi trees in the temple; the one in the west direction of which is still sturdy which has stood for over 1000 years.
A memorial tower with a tablet inscription for him is also the important historical relic in the temple.
Xichan Temple was repaired twice in Song Dynasty (960-1279); the present scale and layout was finalized in Qing Dynasty (1636-1911), and most of the halls can be seen today were rebuilt in modern times because of the damages in wars.
What to see in Xichan Temple?
Xichan Temple boasts for its grand of full functioned 36 halls, precious cultural relics as well as its great landscape art within numerous Litchi trees and Mango trees. A zigzag bridge on the Free Life Pond features southern gardens and the reflections of towers on the lake are just beautiful to be blended in the delightful natural sceneries. A small exquisite garden in the temple is characteristic by rockeries and a Mingyuan Pavilion, which is the site for Litchi Party of past dynasties.
Litchi trees with deep cultural connotation
Xichan Temple is charming with beautiful natural sceneries with the most famous litchi trees attracting renowned scholars with their praising words and sentences in successive dynasties.
There are hundreds of Litchi trees in the temple with the oldest one planted in 9th century by the master Hui Ji. The temple teems with Litchi during mature season and many stories and poems have left by men of letters in the annual Litchi party which remains today.
Tops in Xichan Temple
There are two jade josses donated by overseas Chinese placed in an exclusive hall the Jade Joss Hall of the temple.
One Buddha is a sitting Sakyamuni in a height of 2.3 meters; the other is a reclining Sakyamuni with a 4-meter body length and 10-ton weight, marking the No.1 jade Buddha in the country.
In Guanyinge hall in the temple, there is a grand thousand-hand and thousand-eye Bodhisattva which was also the only one that molded from 29 tons brass in the country.
Bao’en Tower (Chinese: a return tower), the highest Buddhism temple in the province, was built in 1990 with 15 stories and a height of 67 meters.
It was built from the raising money by the abbot of Shuanglin Temple of Singapore who was appointed by Xichan Temple.
The name of the tower comes from the abbot’s return for the temple’s cultivation.
The tower is a dignified and magnificent art tower covered by elegant granite, and decorated by colorful patterns of fowls and beasts, flowers, plants, insects and fish, with elaborate carvings on the walls depicting beautiful stories of Buddhas and Buddhism.

Thanks . it's very beautiful. Thanks China for preserving such Buddhist heritage..
Thanks for your great words, dear Indian friend. I wish I could visit Indian's beautiful Buddhist heritages too!
新年快乐哟！ 沙发终于是我的！
Happy Lunar New Year to those that celebrates!
也祝你新年事事开心，好运连连！感谢你的一直以来的支持和厚爱！ B R O !!!🍰🍰🍰
@@WalkEast 哈哈，感谢Max一直带来好作品。等我回国我走你去过的地方。
福州是个很有传统文化底蕴、很祥和的城市
深以为然，感同身受！
Happy Chinese New Year to all over the world ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
The same to you, dear friend!
这寺院环境真好，在里头当和尚挺幸福的
哈哈哈，幸福的和尚。。。
Happy New Year! 新年快乐！🐮
Though I am not the first one to comment on this video, but this is my 1st ever comment on any CZcams video. I have been following your video for quite some time and really appreciate your hard work and professional videos. This video is beautify shot!
Wish you and your family a very happy Chinese New Year!
Thanks for your first comment to me, dear friend. I'm really honored to know that!
So, I really hope you hand your family have a great year and good luck in Year of the Ox!
Thanks, thanks, and thanks!
Great to preserve these.
Yes they are!
Amazing view, thank you!
Thank you too! Happy Spring Festival!
I notice that in China, the placement of the stone mythical creature on each side of the entrance of the temples, official stately homes and ancient buildings are quite common. During the 19th century the British aristocrats/middle class loved Chinese tea, ceramics, silk, paintings, etc. Today you can see stone lion statues are strategically placed in old mansions and stately homes across Britain. HSBC which was founded in Shanghai has lions at the building entrance.
You're great, friend! You're 100% right about the stone lions culture of China.
Stone lion is carved out of stone, which is the common ornament in Chinese traditional architecture, such as imperial palace, temple, Buddha pagoda, bridge, mausoleum, mansion, gardens and so on. Lion indicates safety and luck in China.
So, good luck, dear friend!
gargoyles are common in pretty much all cultures. They just come in different mythical creatures.
@@mikel4690 You'll never find a gargoyle on the ground tho. (at least in my country France) gargoyle are used to effray the evils of church, the fact they usually have wings is because they get more scary to evils if they look like coming from the sky (and so, from the gods)
A country with a population of 1.4 billion people. But why it is so hard to find a child on the street? I also saw a lot of trees,but it's hard find leaves that fall below. China is becoming an extraordinary country 👍👍👍
Thanks for your extraordinary words too!
30:05 they feed the koi school of fish! The temples and pagodas are so majestic! I love the colors!
Thanks for your kind support, dear Anthony!
Happy to be here! Always awesome! Thank you!
You're the best!
維護得很不錯，廟區也很廣大而清幽。
希望這些傳統樣式建築不論是舊有的或新建，都能盡量採用防火防蛀建材，以能留存千年做打算。
非常非常有意义的建议，期待这里的古建筑真的能保存千年！！
Fuzhou is based on faith and good fortune. My hometown I'm so proud!
It's one of my favorite cities!! Thanks for your sharing!
Great hometown!
Beautiful!!
Thank you! Cheers!💐
祝你新春快乐，身体健康，事业上进，粉丝倍增，财源广进，家庭和睦，牛气冲天！Nice festival decoration, so peaceful.
Thanks a lot, dear Kevin！ 同祝福你全家幸福安康，心想事成！
🌞 So Great Walk in Fuzhou Temples 🌞
💛 Greetings from the French Riviera💛
Thanks a lot, dear friend!
Such a beautiful location, eye candy everywhere architecture wise, birds chirping, very peaceful. There is so much detail going on with basically every structure here it’s crazy, even the smaller pagodas that were decorated with small statues of Buddha had I assume a monk or oger ( hard to make out ) holding up each roof layer, colours used to decorate too just make everything pop out at you.
In the second temple you’ve the turtle with the plain tablet on its back all about ?
Hope you have a great Spring Festival and get to unwind ( it’ll be busy I bet but with family and friends so it’s different 😂) and enjoy the festival good man 👊
新年快乐 🏮🐂🏮 笑口常開
Thanks for your warmhearted words all the time, my dear friend!
Yes, I had a great Chinese New Year's Eve with my family and I hope you a great festival time too!
The turtle with stone tablet is a sign of long life. It based on a legend of ancient China.
I hope you could enjoy the traditional Chinese architecture all the time!
Best wishes to you!💐
您也新年快乐，万事如意！！
Love the Banyan trees. Beautiful garden and well kept gardens.
Yes, the city of Banyan tree is amazing!
hello friend, i always enjoyed your very nice temples there, beautiful and really amazing, thank you for another great tour my dear friend. have a nice day
Thanks for your warmhearted words all the time, dear Jecris.
Hope I could buy you a meal someday😄💐
离开福州好多年了，西禅寺，以前去过一次，很大很古老的寺，门票好像60。福大旁边。真怀念。
确实很大很古老，门票还是60。感谢分享，祝一切顺利💐🌸🌸
@@WalkEast 新年快乐！事业顺利！！

鼓山的涌泉寺 般若苑 旗山万佛寺风景特别漂亮。特别是般若苑和鼓岭的眺望台，遇到霞光万丈，整个福州市区包裹上一层金光。
你的描述都让我觉得美不胜收！感谢分享！
Wow! What a magnificent temple! 😍😍
I love to visit temples when I am in Asia, I find their architecture wonderful ! And having visited several in Japan and Korea, I can say that this one is one of the most beautiful that I have seen! (by the way, I filmed a nice little temple when I was in Busan, Korea)
Thanks for sharing my dear friend !
Merci ! 😁
Chinese Buddhist temples are a lot older.
Thanks for your great sharing, dear Castel.
Your words made this temple even more magnificent!
Today is the first day of Chinese New Year, and best wishes to you, my dear friend!
@@WalkEast oh ! Happy New Year to you !
I wish you the best for this new year !
@@donaldlineker6140 That's why I want to visit them! 😊
Happy Spring Festival to you Max! Thank you for showing us this beautiful temple. I can't believe how old it is as it looks so well maintained and preserved. The colours are so vivid. This is different from many other temples that you showed us in the past and I really appreciate that. Have a wonderful holiday with you and your family. I would love to see some of the decorations indoor and outdoor for the New Year celebrations. Is it like Christmas decorations with many lights on the outside? Once again, great job.
Happy Spring Festival to you too, my dear friend too! This temple is really old, but very beautiful. Thanks for your words!
Now I have been in my home in Changsha now, and I would visit some celebrations, but before that, I have 2 videos of Fuzhou to upload.
Thanks for a year's support, my dear friend!
Best wishes to you and your family!
Happy Chinese Spring Festival to you too! My Dear friend! Thank you for the tour.
Happy weekend to you, my dear friend!

Beautiful location , nice Buddha temple 🙏❤️ thanks!!! For showing....
So nice of you🌸
Buddhism is an idea, not a culture, in China must appear in cultural and elements in Taoism and Han nationality.
Video You can see Chinese Taoist elements (Han Religion). Includes all totems and buildings.
There are all kinds of Chinese gods in the temple, there is a very important Han culture, and a strong Taoist element.
Buddha is a must have become a Chinese image, and add a large number of Taoist elements to be accepted by the Chinese.
Its very nice to travel with you. very pro and interisting tours as always👍130

Gracias por todo lo que hiciste y dijiste, amigo.
¡Que tengas un buen día!
The layout of this temple is similar to some temples I've visited in Japan. I guess they all have common "Tang" architectural design elements.
East Asian architectural style
You're super right about the Tang style!
Dear friend, thanks!
You are right！This is a temple built in Tang dynasty.
Actually, some Fujianese carpenters moved to Japan in Ancient times, so the structures are resemble
👍👍👍

Freezing cold wind..
Very!
下次去福州可以逛逛鼓山哈哈哈，涌泉寺很灵的，我从小就在那烧香，傍晚坐鼓山索道的话可以看到整个福州城的日落，包括闽江，鼓岭也是一个好地方，以前外国人的别墅区，虽然还在修缮中，但已经开放了，那里有个博物馆专门介绍鼓岭历史，感谢您的视频，祝您生活愉快！
感谢建议！
福建人多数都是唐末时候从中原移民来的。。唐末中原战乱。很多人来此避难。所以福建福州话。闽南话很好的保留了当时中原话，唐音!所以福州话也把男孩子叫做：唐末子！
所以陕西、河南人能听懂福建话？
@@AmelieZh 福建保留了古音。陕西。河南经过多次外族的侵略。以及外族的迁徙。语言都改变了
@@joe12352 huh。。有意思。但是我确实听到有些闽南方言和河南话有一点点像
這是不可能的。江浙閩粵從基因上決定了大部分人是南方原住民族，秦末，漢，唐受中原文化影響加入漢文化圈而已。和中原部落在基因上有5%到20%之間的吻合。真正南遷的中原人不多。所以漢族的概念不是血統，而是文化和歷史的演變。
感谢分享，非常长知识！

can you make videos in 扬州 someday? there are some beautiful gardens there
No problem, friend! Yangzhou is a must-visit place!
@@WalkEast nice, btw I noticed you don't have snow videos, has there been no snow at all in the places you've been? or maybe you just don't like snow hahaha
The north China is cold but dry,south China is humid but warm,so the best time for SNOW is different in north and south(not too south 34N-26N),usually December to next year January or February is best in south and 11-12 &next year 2-3/4 is best for north China

很美！！ 不过福州应该比较少人去旅游。同是福建省，厦门却比福州出名。。 虽然福州还是省会
厦门走小资小确幸路线，对历史对文化感兴趣的，福州是首选。
各有所长哦，福州也是历史文化名城，所以不一定比厦门人少：）

我是真他妈服了，你是多久没回中国了？北京三年前都蓝天白云了，更别提南方了。以前的空气污染基本都是集中在北方。成都和重庆是因为地处盆地，经常没有阳光，不过那都是雾不是霾。云南、贵州、福建这种几乎一年四季都是蓝天白云。云南的空气质量不比瑞士差。
