骑行郫都护国寺:探寻历史与文化的交融之旅
“乘兴而行,兴尽而返。”在一个闲适的周末,我与好友汤老师突发奇想,决定骑电瓶车从成都市区前往郫都区护国寺,探寻这座古老寺庙的历史韵味,顺便感受成都街巷志中所描绘的城市脉络。
清晨,阳光温柔地洒在城市的每一个角落,微风轻拂,带来丝丝凉意。我们检查好车辆,带上简单的行囊,从市区出发。一路上,城市的喧嚣逐渐被抛在身后,取而代之的是宁静的乡村风光。道路两旁,田野里的庄稼郁郁葱葱,像是一片绿色的海洋,偶尔有几只小鸟从头顶飞过,欢快地鸣叫着,仿佛在为我们的旅程欢呼。
途中,我们路过了许多充满成都特色的街巷。这些街巷就像《成都街巷志》中所描述的那样,充满了历史的痕迹和生活的气息。狭窄的街道两旁,是古色古香的川西民居,青瓦白墙,木门木窗,处处散发着古朴的韵味。街头巷尾,人们悠闲地坐着,或喝茶聊天,或下棋打牌,享受着这惬意的时光。在这些街巷中,我仿佛看到了老成都的影子,感受到了这座城市深厚的文化底蕴。
经过大约一个小时的骑行,我们终于抵达了郫都区护国寺。护国寺位于郫都北门外崇兴乡护国村,这座寺庙历史悠久,据说是李伯清曾经修行的地方,这也让我们对它充满了好奇。
寺庙的建筑风格独特,古朴典雅。走进山门,首先映入眼帘的是一座庄严的大雄宝殿,飞檐斗拱,气势恢宏。殿内供奉着释迦牟尼佛像,佛像面容慈祥,庄严肃穆,让人不禁心生敬畏。大雄宝殿的两侧是偏殿,里面供奉着观音菩萨、地藏菩萨等佛像,每一尊佛像都雕刻得栩栩如生,展现了古代工匠们高超的技艺。
在寺庙里,我们遇到了一位正在打扫卫生的僧人。他热情地向我们介绍了护国寺的历史。原来,护国寺至少建于元代以前,寺内观音殿前现存的两棵树龄逾700年的罗汉松就是最好的见证。曾经,寺内还有一口明成化十一年铸铜钟,可惜在民国20年被移于县政府警报楼上,1958年被县印刷厂砸毁,用以掉换字模,实在令人惋惜。上世纪30年代,为躲避日本侵略者的空袭,成都私立大成中学曾迁至护国寺,在这里开展了6年的教学,为抗战期间教育工作正常开展提供了重要的庇护。
我们在寺庙里四处参观,感受着这里的宁静与祥和。在观音殿前,我们驻足良久,欣赏着那两棵古老的罗汉松。它们高大挺拔,枝叶繁茂,像是两位忠实的守护者,默默地见证着护国寺的兴衰变迁。看着这两棵古树,我不禁想象着它们曾经经历过的岁月,它们见证了多少朝代的更替,又目睹了多少人间的悲欢离合。
除了寺庙的建筑和历史,护国寺周边的自然风光也十分迷人。寺庙的后面是一片郁郁葱葱的竹林,微风吹过,竹叶沙沙作响,仿佛在演奏一首美妙的乐章。我们漫步在竹林中,呼吸着清新的空气,感受着大自然的美好。在这里,远离了城市的喧嚣和繁忙,我们的心灵得到了前所未有的放松。
在护国寺的参观过程中,李伯清的身影似乎也若隐若现。虽然我们并没有在这里遇到他,但他曾经在这里修行的经历,却为这座寺庙增添了一份神秘的色彩。我不禁想起他那幽默风趣的散打评书,那些充满生活智慧和人生哲理的话语,仿佛还在耳边回响。他以独特的方式,将成都的文化和生活展现给了更多的人,让人们对这座城市有了更深刻的认识和了解。
不知不觉,天色渐晚,我们也到了该返程的时候。怀着对护国寺的不舍和对这趟旅程的满足,我们骑上电瓶车,踏上了回家的路。一路上,我们回味着在护国寺的点点滴滴,感受着这座古老寺庙所带来的历史震撼和文化熏陶。这次骑行之旅,不仅让我们欣赏到了美丽的自然风光,更让我们深入了解了成都的历史文化,收获颇丰。
回到市区,城市的灯光已经亮起,街头巷尾弥漫着美食的香气。我们找了一家小店,品尝着成都的特色美食,分享着这一天的见闻和感受。在这个充满烟火气的城市里,我们的骑行故事也将成为一段美好的回忆,永远留在我们的心中。
"Set out with enthusiasm and return when the mood fades." On a leisurely weekend, my friend Teacher Tang and I had a sudden whim and decided to ride an electric scooter from downtown Chengdu to Huguo Temple in Pi District, to explore the historical charm of this ancient temple and feel the urban context depicted in The Chronicles of Chengdu Alleys at the same time.
In the early morning, the sunlight gently spilled over every corner of the city, and a gentle breeze blew, bringing a trace of coolness. We checked our vehicle, carried simple luggage, and set off from the urban area. Along the way, the hustle and bustle of the city was gradually left behind, replaced by the tranquil rural scenery. On both sides of the road, the crops in the fields were lush and green, like an ocean of green. Occasionally, a few birds flew overhead, chirping cheerfully as if cheering for our journey.
During the journey, we passed by many alleys full of Chengdu characteristics. These alleys, just like those described in The Chronicles of Chengdu Alleys, are full of historical traces and the flavor of life. On both sides of the narrow streets are quaint Western Sichuan-style residential houses with green tiles, white walls, wooden doors, and wooden windows, exuding a simple and classic charm everywhere. In the streets and alleys, people sit leisurely, either chatting over tea, playing chess or cards, and enjoying this pleasant time. In these alleys, I seemed to see the shadow of the old Chengdu and felt the profound cultural heritage of this city.
After about an hour's ride, we finally arrived at Huguo Temple in Pi District. Huguo Temple is located in Huguo Village, Chongxing Township, outside the north gate of Pi District. This temple has a long history. It is said that it was the place where Li Boqing once practiced cultivation, which also filled us with curiosity about it.
The architectural style of the temple is unique, simple, and elegant. Walking into the mountain gate, the first thing that catches our eye is a solemn Mahavira Hall with upturned eaves and a magnificent momentum. Inside the hall, a statue of Sakyamuni Buddha is enshrined. The Buddha's face is kind and solemn, making people feel a sense of awe. On both sides of the Mahavira Hall are the side halls, where statues of Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and other Buddhas are enshrined. Each statue is carved vividly, demonstrating the superb craftsmanship of ancient artisans.
In the temple, we met a monk who was cleaning. He warmly introduced the history of Huguo Temple to us. It turned out that Huguo Temple was built at least before the Yuan Dynasty. The two Chinese yew podocarpus trees with an age of over 700 years in front of the Avalokiteshvara Hall in the temple are the best evidence. Once, there was a bronze bell cast in the 11th year of the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty in the temple. Unfortunately, in the 20th year of the Republic of China, it was moved to the alarm building of the county government and was smashed by the county printing factory in 1958 to exchange for typefaces, which is really a pity. In the 1930s, to avoid the air raids of the Japanese invaders, the private Dacheng Middle School in Chengdu was once relocated to Huguo Temple and carried out teaching here for 6 years, providing important shelter for the normal development of educational work during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
We walked around the temple, feeling the peace and tranquility here. In front of the Avalokiteshvara Hall, we stopped for a long time and admired those two ancient Chinese yew podocarpus trees. They are tall and straight, with lush branches and leaves, like two loyal guardians, silently witnessing the rise and fall of Huguo Temple. Looking at these two ancient trees, I couldn't help but imagine the years they had experienced. How many dynasties' changes had they witnessed, and how many human joys and sorrows had they seen?
In addition to the architecture and history of the temple, the natural scenery around Huguo Temple is also very charming. Behind the temple is a lush bamboo forest. When the breeze blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, as if playing a wonderful movement. We strolled in the bamboo forest, breathing in the fresh air and feeling the beauty of nature. Here, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, our hearts were relaxed like never before.
During the visit to Huguo Temple, the figure of Li Boqing seemed to be faintly visible. Although we didn't meet him here, his experience of practicing cultivation here added a mysterious color to this temple. I couldn't help but think of his humorous and witty "Sanda Pinghua" (a unique form of storytelling in Sichuan). Those words full of life wisdom and philosophy of life seemed to still echo in my ears. In his unique way, he showed the culture and life of Chengdu to more people, enabling them to have a deeper understanding and knowledge of this city.
Before we knew it, it was getting late, and it was time for us to return. With reluctance for Huguo Temple and satisfaction for this journey, we rode our electric scooters and set foot on the way home. Along the way, we reminisced about every bit of our time at Huguo Temple and felt the historical shock and cultural edification brought by this ancient temple. This cycling journey not only allowed us to enjoy the beautiful natural scenery but also enabled us to have an in-depth understanding of Chengdu's history and culture, and we benefited a lot.
Back in the urban area, the city lights had already come on, and the aroma of delicious food filled the streets and alleys. We found a small restaurant, tasted the characteristic delicacies of Chengdu, and shared the stories and feelings of the day. In this city full of the hustle and bustle of daily life, our cycling story will also become a wonderful memory, forever remaining in our hearts.
The cycling journey to Huguo Temple in Pi District is a journey to explore the blend of history and culture and also a spiritual journey of getting close to nature. It makes me love this charming city even more and gives me a deeper sense of awe for Chengdu's history and culture. I'm looking forward to the next journey, hoping to have more discoveries and gains.

骑行郫都护国寺,是一次探寻历史与文化的交融之旅,也是一次与大自然亲密接触的心灵之旅。它让我更加热爱这座充满魅力的城市,也让我对成都的历史文化有了更深的敬畏之心。期待着下一次的旅程,能有更多的发现和收获。
