This question is actually very interesting! Shaolin Temple is not from Zhengzhou, but the cultural heritage of the whole world! Geographically speaking, Shaolin Temple does not belong to Zhengzhou, but it belongs to Zhengzhou in Dengfeng, so officially speaking, Songshan Shaolin belongs to Zhengzhou.
Dengfeng was under the jurisdiction of Luoyang for a long time in history. Is Shaolin Temple really Luoyang?
Others say that Shaolin Temple belongs to Luoyang, and Dengfeng in history has long been under the jurisdiction of Luoyang. Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty visited Songshan Mountain. In the Sui Dynasty, the responsibility of Gao County was formally established for the sacrifice of Songshan Mountain, and it was changed to Songyang County, which belonged to Henan County (Luoyang County). Historically, Dengfeng and Shaolin Temple belonged to Luoyang for most of the time.
The film Shaolin Temple starring Jet Li is world-renowned and has always been a popular tourist destination all over the world.
In fact, tourists and friends don't need to worry about it. We are more concerned about the history and culture of Shaolin Temple. 1982, the film "Shaolin Temple" starring Jet Li made this ancient temple famous all over the world, and martial arts became the business card of Shaolin Temple, attracting tourists from home and abroad and receiving countless social celebrities every year. Whether starting from Zhengzhou or Luoyang, the trip is very convenient and worth visiting.
Shaolin Temple is located in the dense jungle of Shaoshi Mountain in the hinterland of Songshan Mountain in Dengfeng City, Henan Province. Since Dengfeng is a county-level city belonging to Zhengzhou, in a broad sense, although Shaolin Temple is not in Zhengzhou, it is not wrong to say that Shaolin Temple is in Zhengzhou. Let's understand it this way. Tongzhou District in Beijing, Jinghai County in Tianjin, Songjiang District in Shanghai and fengjie county in Chongqing, although not in the main city, do belong to Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and Chongqing in administrative divisions. Therefore, some people say that the Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Luoyang is actually reasonable-although Dengfeng is now the administrative division of Zhengzhou, Dengfeng has been under the jurisdiction of Luoyang for a long time in history, and the birth of Shaolin Temple is indeed closely related to Luoyang.
In the 2nd-3rd century A.D., Rome, Rest in Peace and Guishuang were closely connected with the Han Empire, which made the Silk Road across the East and West prosperous in an all-round way: not only caravans carrying silk, precious stones and spices, but also monks with lofty beliefs shuttled along this road. Buddhism was introduced into the Central Plains in the period of Emperor Hanming-the earliest Buddhist temple in China was born in Luoyang, the capital of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Buddhism was really introduced to China on a large scale in Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, when the Central Plains was experiencing five chaos and six chaos, and all the scholars in the Central Plains were lost for a time.
Kumarajiva is one of the earliest monks who came to the Central Plains to preach from the Western Regions in China history. Originally from Tianzhu, he was born in Kuqa (now Kuqa, Xinjiang) in the western regions. His family background is prominent, and his ancestors are famous. According to legend, he was gifted at an early age: he could speak at the age of six, read at the age of three, read widely at the age of five, and became a monk with his mother at the age of seven. I have studied in Tianzhu country, visited the famous teacher Dade, and explored the wonderful meaning. He is young, diligent and knowledgeable, and he knows it by heart. He is proficient in Sanskrit and Chinese, and also has deep attainments in Buddhism. Broadcom Mahayana Hinayana. He is the founder of Sanzang, and he is also known as the four great translators of Buddhism in China with Xuanzang, Bukong and Zhenzhi. He ranks among the top four translators, the originator of translation studies and a master of linguistics.
In the eighth year of Taiyuan in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (384), Lu Guang took Kumarajiva, a monk from the Western Regions, to Liangzhou, Gansu, and Kumarajiva stayed in Liangzhou, Gansu for 17 years, promoting Buddhism and learning Chinese. After Qin Hongxi entered Chang 'an for three years (40 1), he translated Prajna Sutra, Prajna Sutra and Vimalakīrti Sutra with his disciples in eleven years (409). A total of 94 volumes and 425 volumes of classics have been translated, among which "Three Theories" (Zhong Lun, Twelve Theories and Hundred Schools of Thought) are the main basis. Achievement theory is the main foundation of achievement school; Hokkekyo is the main basis of Tiantai Sect; Amitabha Sutra is one of the "Three Classics" that Pure Land Sect relies on.
It was under Kumarajiva's translation that a large number of Indian Buddhist classics were introduced into China. This period is also a historical period when Buddhism began to merge with China's local civilization from foreign religions, and then formed a unique China Buddhism in the East Asian Chinese character cultural circle. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, another figure who had a far-reaching influence on the formation of China's Han Buddhism traveled in the Central Plains-Dharma thousands of miles away. He first sailed to Guangzhou, promoted Buddhism in Nanliang, and then went north to the Northern Wei Dynasty to teach people by Zen. It was during this period that the unique Zen system of Buddhism in China was gradually formed. Therefore, China Zen disciple Zundharma is the founder of Buddhism.
In the third year of Xiaochang in the Northern Wei Dynasty (AD 527), the founder of Dharma reached the foot of Songshan Mountain near Luoyang, the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty. He saw here surrounded by mountains, dense forests, beautiful scenery, quiet environment, prosperous Buddhism and friendly conversation. He decided that this is a rare Buddhist pure land, so he founded Shaolin Temple here, and used it as a missionary Dojo to gather monks and spread Zen for the first time. Since then, Shaolin Temple has been called the ancestral home of Zen in China. Of course, Shaolin Temple, as a famous temple in China, on the one hand, is its religious status as the ancestral home of Zen in China, on the other hand, it is its unique concept of dual cultivation of Zen and martial arts.
1982' s Shaolin Temple lets the audience really appreciate the real China Kung Fu, which is based on the legend of "thirteen stick monks save the Tang King". Although there was no such thing before Wang's battle with Hulaoguan, Shaolin monks' participation in the wars of Sui, Jian and Tang was a real history. If we visit Shaolin Temple today, we can still see the royal inscription inscribed by Li Shimin of Emperor Taizong. In fact, Shaolin Temple played the role of a special force to defend Luoyang, the capital of Li Tang. Li Shimin also specifically allows Shaolin Temple to set up ten sub-temples throughout the country, and each sub-temple has the right to set up its own team of monks and soldiers. Linquanyuan, located in Jiulian Mountain, Licheng District, Putian City, Fujian Province, is one of the top ten sub-temples of Shaolin Temple, which was founded earlier. This is the birthplace of China Wushu Nanquan School, so it is called South Shaolin. During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period of Ming Dynasty, South Shaolin monks became a prestigious team.
Shaolin Temple advocates the spirit of both Zen and Wushu-practicing martial arts to strengthen the body and practice meditation: without good martial arts skills, it is impossible to defend the country and save the suffering; But only focusing on martial arts and ignoring meditation is easy to get possessed. In the process of inheriting China Wushu, Shaolin Temple has not weakened its religious status as the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism in China. When Xuanzang, the master of seeking dharma from the west, returned to the Tang Dynasty, he proposed to Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, to go to Shaolin Temple to translate the scriptures he had retrieved from India. Although this matter was politely declined by Li Shimin, it was enough to show the status of Shaolin Temple in the eyes of believers all over the world at that time. For thousands of years, although the administrative division of the area where Shaolin Temple is located has changed, there is no need for Zhengzhou and Luoyang to argue about it. After all, Shaolin Temple belongs to Luoyang rather than Zhengzhou, but is the historical and cultural heritage of the people of China and even the whole world. China Zen ancestral court, China martial arts master. We should treat all the historical and cultural heritages of Shaolin Temple and even China in the principle of inheriting history, respecting reality and carrying forward the past, instead of artificially causing conflicts between regions for cultural resources.
Shaolin Temple belongs to a Buddhist temple and a Buddhist association. It is a national AAAAA-level tourist scenic spot in China, the seventh batch of national key cultural relics protection units and a global low-carbon ecological scenic spot. It is a famous world cultural heritage.
Shaolin Temple is located at the foot of Wuru Peak in Songshan Mountain, Dengfeng City, Henan Province. Because it is located in Shaoshi Mountain in the hinterland of Songshan Mountain, it is named "Shaoshi Mountain". Founded in the 19th year of Taihe in the Northern Wei Dynasty (495), it was built by Emperor Xiaowen in Shaoshi Mountain, Songshan, opposite to Luoyang, the capital city, in order to place respected Indian monks.
To talk about the history of Shaolin Temple, we should start with the historical evolution of Dengfeng. Shaolin Temple is in Dengfeng, which was originally Yangcheng (now Gaocheng Town, Dengfeng City). Dengfeng in history was under the jurisdiction of Luoyang for a long time, and Liu Che, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, visited Songshan Mountain. In the Sui Dynasty, the responsibility of formally setting up Gao County for offering sacrifices to Songshan was changed to Songyang County, which belonged to Luoyang County, Henan Province. In 696, Wu Zetian boarded Songshan Mountain, sealed Zhongyue Mountain and changed Songyang County to Dengfeng County. The Five Dynasties belonged to Bianzhou, and the Song Dynasty belonged to Henan Province (governing Luoyang). In the Jin Dynasty, the two counties merged into Dengfeng County, which belonged to Jinchang Prefecture (governing Luoyang). Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties belonged to Henan Province (ruling Luoyang) and Luoyang in the Republic of China. It was not until1April 1994 that Dengfeng County was revoked and Dengfeng City was established that Shaolin Temple was included in Zhengzhou with the change of Dengfeng City. But in history, Dengfeng and Shaolin Temple belong to Luoyang and Heluo cultural circles for most of the time.
Why is Shaolin Temple so famous? Because it is located in the capital and supported by the royal family, it is the national Buddhist center, just like Baima Temple and Longmen Grottoes.
Shaolin Temple is located in Dengfeng City, Henan Province. Dengfeng is a county-level city in the central and western parts of Henan Province, directly under Zhengzhou City. Shaolin Temple is located at the foot of Wuru Peak in Songshan Mountain in the northwest of Dengfeng City.
Shaolin Temple belongs to the world in terms of cultural heritage, Zhengzhou in terms of geographical location, Luoyang in terms of history and culture, and is a part of Heluo culture.
Hello, landlord! I am Lao Yue; Shaolin Temple: Under Wuru Peak in Songshan Mountain, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province.
Shaolin Temple is now a national AAAAA-level tourist attraction and a national key cultural relics protection unit. Historic buildings in the world, including the Shaolin Temple's Chang 'an, Chu Zuan and Tallinn, are all famous world cultural heritages.
Today, I won't say much about Shaolin Temple in Songshan, Henan. Next, I would like to talk to you about the Shaolin Temple in Putian, Fujian: South Shaolin Temple.
The site of South Shaolin Temple is located in Jiulian Mountain Village, Xitianwei Town, Licheng District, Putian, about 17 km away from the urban area.
There is a linquan courtyard in Jiulian Mountain, which was built in the first year of Chen Yongding in the Southern Dynasty (557) and Jiayou in the Northern Song Dynasty (1056- 1063). This temple has formed a strong martial arts style and has become the center of martial arts activities along the southeast coast of China.
It is said that after the Songshan 13 Shaolin Temple helped Emperor Taizong to unify China, Emperor Taizong gave him a "monk soldier" and allowed to build ten sub-temples all over the country. According to textual research, Linquan Garden in Jiulian Mountain in Licheng District is one of the top ten sub-temples of Shaolin Temple, which was founded earlier. Because of its large scale (covering an area of about 30,000 square meters), its martial arts are at its peak and it affects South China, so it is called South Shaolin Temple. According to textual research, the temple was burned by Qing soldiers in the early Qing Dynasty.
Shaolin Temple is a county-level city located in Dengfeng City at the foot of Songshan Mountain. Its geographical location belongs to the middle between Zhengzhou and Luoyang, but it belongs to the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou. Dengfeng was indeed under the jurisdiction of Luoyang before liberation, and later it was under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng City. But that was decades ago. Now Dengfeng is under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou.
However, the construction of Shaolin Temple does have something to do with Luoyang. Shaolin Temple was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, when Luoyang was the capital. At that time, a monk from India went to Luoyang to preach. In order to settle him down, the emperor built a temple on Shaoshi Mountain opposite Luoyang, namely Shaolin Temple. The history of Zhengzhou is still inferior to that of Luoyang, when Zhengzhou was still a small place.
In modern times, thanks to its superior geographical position, many railway trunk lines meet in Zhengzhou, which has been greatly developed and replaced Kaifeng as the provincial capital. Many surrounding counties and cities are under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou, including Dengfeng.
So strictly speaking, Shaolin Temple really belongs to Zhengzhou, but generally speaking, it is still Dengfeng Shaolin Temple, and few people will say Zhengzhou Shaolin Temple. After all, Zhengzhou is still far away from Shaolin Temple, nearly 100 kilometers, while Dengfeng is only a dozen kilometers away from Shaolin Temple.
Shaolin Temple is located in the northwest of Dengfeng City, Zhengzhou City, Henan Province, in the dense forest of Shaoshi Mountain in the hinterland of Songshan Mountain, hence the name "Shaolin Temple". Due to historical reasons, this place was once under the jurisdiction of Luoyang, and it was only under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou after the founding of the People's Republic of China, so some foreign tourists who don't know the situation will have some questions.
"Shaolin is the best martial arts in the world, and the martial arts in the world are out of Shaolin." Today's Shaolin Temple is not only a famous 5A-level scenic spot at home and abroad, but also a Wulin shrine in the hearts of many martial arts lovers. Every year, Chinese and foreign tourists come here to visit and study in an endless stream, which is the tourist card of Dengfeng and even Zhengzhou!

Shaolin Temple was under the jurisdiction of Luoyang from its establishment to the Republic of China. After 49 years, it was under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng. A few years later, 83 years later, Luoyang was under the jurisdiction of Zhengzhou. In short, Dengfeng was changed to a city after Dengfeng County. Shaolin Temple is mentioned in the film of Scroll, which belongs to Luoyang, and the monk Li Shimin who saved the Tang Dynasty also mentioned Luoyang. In a word, it is the pride of our Henan province.
Hello, I have been to Shaoshi Mountain, next to Shaolin Temple, which belongs to Songshan Geopark. Songshan is in Dengfeng and belongs to Zhengzhou.
Shaolin Temple is owned by the government and Yongxin monks, and the income is shared equally. A few years ago, because of the income problem, the two sides turned against each other and fought a lawsuit. I don't know the outcome, but it ended silently!
Two years ago, the chief disciple of Yongxin falsely accused the great monk of Yongxin of giving birth to several girls and children because of money. Later, after investigation, there was no silence!
I don't know much about Shaolin Although I have been to Shaolin vegetarian canteen three or five times, I am interested in the ashes of the dishes. Four vegetarian dishes with a soup of 150 yuan. The waiter is a woman. She's very nice and easy to talk to. I like it!
