Yingjiang Temple
Yingfeng Temple (Chinese: 迎江寺; pinyin: Yíngjiāng Sì) is a Buddhist temple located in Yingjiang District of Anqing, Anhui, China.
The temple was first built in 974, under Emperor Taizu (960–976) rule in the recently founded Song dynasty (960–1279).
In 1619, in the reign of Wanli Emperor (1573–1620) of the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), Ruan Zihua (阮自华), a local gentleman, rebuilt the temple. In the following year, Emperor Guangzong (1620) inscribed and honored the name "Huguo Yongchang Chan Temple" (护国永昌禅寺).
A war left the temple in ruins in 1861, in the ruling of Xianfeng Emperor (1851–1861) in the Qing dynasty (1644–1911). It was restored and renamed "Yingjiang Temple" (迎江寺) in 1862, in the 1st year of Tongzhi period (1862–1874). Sixteen years later, master Yuexia (月霞) was proposed as the new abbot of Yingjiang Temple. He was dismissed after voicing his strong opposition to the restoration of monarchy by Yuan Shikai in 1916. His disciple Xinjian (心坚) succeeded the position.
After the establishment of the Communist State in 1949, the Anhui Provincial Government provided great protection for the temple.
After the 3rd Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, according to the national policy of free religious belief, the administrative power was transferred to the local Buddhist association.
Yingjiang Temple has been designated as a National Key Buddhist Temple in Han Chinese Area by the State Council of China in 1983.
Now the existing main buildings include Shanmen, Heavenly Kings Hall, Mahavira Hall, Pilu Hall, Buddhist Texts Library and Zhenfeng Pagoda.
