Volcano River: The Five-Hundred-Year-Old Haichao Chan Temple

The first few chapters of the novel are set against the background of the flooding of the Yellow River in Jiajing. The protagonist Wang establishes Haichao Temple to protect the villagers. A few poor people joined a group to keep warm. The evil gentry occupied the land and fought back with hoes. When soldiers and bandits crossed the border, they fought with simple knives to the end. When the Yellow River burst, they blocked the opening with their bodies... The description of the novel is delicate, especially the evil of the bad guy is very clearly described. During the escape, many people were homeless, so they could only live in half-hole cave dwellings, including the old, the young, and those with bad legs and feet. But the bad guys are still colluding with each other and will not let this group of refugees go, saying that they are the remnants of the White Lotus Sect. Their actions made everyone understand that bad people are not stupid, but bad, so bad that they can't even hold a sip of water from the bottom of a poor man's bowl... The novel often resonates with readers when reading it. It is really a good work, worth reading and recommending, and giving five-star praise 👍 👍

A volcanic river meanders, carrying the mountains and rivers over the years; a Haichao Zen Temple stands on the cliffside, having gone through five hundred years of ups and downs. Using ancient temples as narrative anchors, the author integrates geographical scenery, folklore, Zen past events, and the joys and sorrows of the human world. He breaks out of the simple framework of travelogue prose and salvages stories buried by time among the bricks and tiles and inscriptions.

This is a novel with a historical theme. It is written about the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, when the Yellow River overflowed and the people were in dire straits. The Wang woman took a few clay legs and built a Haichao nunnery in a dilapidated kiln in the old county of Hequ. She did not build a golden body or teach Zen principles, but only guarded the Yellow River to protect the people. The beginning of the novel is heart-wrenching. In the twelfth lunar month of winter, the frozen soil on the Yellow River beach is three fingers wide. The protagonist, Mrs. Wang, learns that her husband has gone away to build a border wall and will never return. The landlord even took his servants to confiscate her land and yard, and even robbed her of half a bag of life-saving food. She suddenly understood that it was useless to cry and beg for mercy... The author has good literary skills, the story has ups and downs, twists and turns, and the characters created are vivid and three-dimensional. Reading often makes people sigh and resonate, and it is a five-star praise!

The first six chapters are based on the flooding of the Yellow River in Jiajing. Wang established Haichao Temple to protect the villagers. The words are simple and powerful, and the responsibilities of the monks at the bottom and the character of the Yellow River directly touch the hearts of the people. Recommended reading!

The description is delicate and vivid, and the plot is fascinating with its ups and downs. The layout is large and the feelings of family and country are worth the investment. A very good book worth recommending!

Above the temple, there are ancient Buddhas with green lanterns and Buddhist monks from the Qing Dynasty. Outside the mountain gate are the ordinary livelihoods of the people on both sides of the Yellow River. The grand temple fair was bustling with people, and pilgrims from three provinces traveled across mountains and rivers to pray for blessings. During the troubled times, the ancient temple once housed displaced people, and also faced the turmoil of war. The ethereal purity of Buddhism is intertwined with ordinary people's life, old age, illness, death, love, hate, and expectations. There is no suspended preaching, only the real human world on the land.
