brief introduction

Juzan memorial hall was originally located in Junshan temple, Jiangyin City, and later moved here. Master juzan memorial hall is a traditional Chinese style building with one drop and three entrances. The plaque above the main hall "juzan master Memorial Hall" was inscribed by Zhang Ruiling, a contemporary calligrapher in China. The plaque in the main hall "Dao Qi Zhen ru" was inscribed by Master Yi Cheng, the president of China Buddhist Association. "Dao Qi" means practicing together and thinking in the same way, which is a Buddhist term. It means to break away from all worldly things and reach a free state of mind.

Juzan's former residence was rebuilt in 1998. It is a traditional Jiangnan residence with three entrances. Two Podocarpus arvensis trees are planted at the gate. The inscription of "juzan master's former residence" on the wall and door is magnificent and eye-catching. The six characters of master juzan's former residence were written by master Songchun.

Introduction to master juzan

Master juzan is a famous contemporary Buddhist monk, Buddhist, Buddhist educator and patriotic activist who is deeply respected and loved at home and abroad. He is one of the founders of China's new Buddhist theory and one of the founders of China Buddhist Association. Master juzan is an outstanding religious leader in China's Contemporary Buddhist circles. On October 1, 1949, at the founding ceremony, master juzan was the only representative of monks invited to attend the Tiananmen temple.

Juzan met Tian Han when he was studying in Shanghai Daxia University in 1927. During the Anti Japanese War, he lived together in Nanyue and Guilin and became intimate friends. Juzan initiated the establishment of Nanyue Buddhist and Taoist Salvation Association, and Tian Han presented poems to juzan. Juzan founded "lion roar" magazine in Guilin. Tian Han warmly supported and wrote articles. At the end of 1942, he praised the poem "nostalgia for Tian Han in Guilin" and said: "I feel sorry for Buddhism when I walk down the rugged mountain. I hate my hair in the mirror. It's white for years. " In 1950, Tian Han wrote poems for juzan. Tian Han was persecuted and died in ten years of turmoil. After that, he rehabilitated Zhaoxue and praised mourning poems.
