If you are a fan of Chinese food take-away, you may have noticed the tower/temple on the classic paper box. YES! That's an ancient version of Da Bao En Temple!!!

 

 Da Bao En Temple area had been used for Buddhism ritual performance since Dong JIN. It was called Chang Gan Temple, and King A Yu Temple. But unfortuantely, TANG emperor destroyed the temple as he was concerned that such a monumental structure could encourage some people to restore the old dynasties.

In MING, Zhu Di (the 2nd emperor of MING) reconstructed the temple in the name of King Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma (father and mother). Thus the name has been "Bao En", which means "return the huge favor of". The royal family level design and construction built the temple its reputation as one of the World's seven wonders in the Middle Age.

 

Today visitors could visit the temple and associated areas to see the wonder, and probably the only real Buddha Relic in the world. It was discovered in 2008 from the basement of the old site of Chang Gan Temple.  

    曾经是东晋长干寺1位置。梁朝的时候被改建为阿育王寺,并邀请张僧繇贡献丹青,颇具盛名。隋唐时期新政权忌讳金陵王气的传说摧毁了阿育王寺。随着政权的冷落和横塘在元明时期由于长江北移而消失,长干里一代的繁荣也逐渐消减。

    1412-1431明朝永乐年间,朱棣建造大报恩寺,据说是为了报生身父母朱元璋和马皇后的大恩。该建筑群具有皇家规模,和长干寺一样,在城南居民区中。九层八面五彩琉璃塔,开创世界琉璃宝塔先河,被列为“中古时期世界七大奇观“之一。十八十九世纪西方报刊上曾经登过。

1 因为建在密集居民区,于是以里名长干里为寺名。

长干里

东晋可考。隋唐时期,长干里是诗人怀古的去处,有李白,李益,崔颢写过长干行或者长干曲。诗中描写了很多市民商业贸易依长江水而生的形态。但是当南京失去都城位置,南唐城墙将部分长干里留在城外,以及元明时期横塘的消失,长干里逐渐走向衰落

 今天大报恩寺位于中华门外,是中国目前规模最大2保存最完整的寺庙遗址。寺内展出的石函、七宝阿育王塔等是世界级国宝。2008年长干寺地宫出土了佛界唯一枚释迦摩尼佛顶真骨和舍利。强烈推荐对于佛教感兴趣的去参观。
