> This temple was built by Emperor Xuanwu, located east of the Great Enlightenment Temple. At that time, Buddhism, its scriptures, and statues flourished in Luoyang. Monks from foreign lands all gathered here like spokes of a wheel, carrying their staffs and scriptures, as they came to this joyful land. Emperor Xuanwu therefore built this temple for them to rest. The corridors and rooms stretched continuously for over a thousand bays. In the courtyards stood tall bamboo, and the eaves brushed against lofty pines. Rare flowers and exotic plants filled the steps and paths. More than three thousand monks from a hundred nations resided here. Those from the farthest western regions even came from the Roman Empire, at the very edge of the western world. There, people farmed, wove, and lived in villages and towns that could be seen one after another. Their clothing, carriages, and horses imitated those of China. In the south, there was a kingdom called Geying, which was extremely far from the capital. Their land and customs were completely cut off, and they had no contact with China. Even during the Han and Wei dynasties, they had never come. Now, for the first time, a monk named Bodhibhadra arrived here. He said that traveling north for one month reached the kingdom of Gouzhi, then north for eleven days reached Sundan. From Sundan, going north for thirty days reached Funan, which was five thousand li in size. Among the southern barbarian kingdoms, it was the most powerful, with a large population and great wealth. It produced many pearls, gold, jade, crystal, and other treasures, as well as abundant betel nuts. From Funan, going north for one month reached Linyi. Leaving Linyi, one entered the kingdom of Xiao Yan. Bodhibhadra arrived in Yangzhou and, after more than a year, traveled with the monk Farong from Yangzhou to the capital. The monks of the capital asked him about the customs of the south. Bodhibhadra said: "In ancient times, there was a kingdom called Nuniao, which used four-wheeled horse-drawn carriages. The kingdom of Sitao produced asbestos cloth, made from tree bark. The bark of this tree does not burn when put in fire. Generally, all southern kingdoms lived within city walls and had an abundance of rare and beautiful things. The people were simple, good-natured, sincere, and valued righteousness. They also had contact with western countries like the Roman Empire, Parthia, and India. Traveling by sea from three or four directions, with a favorable wind, could reach these places within a hundred days. They all respected Buddhism and cherished life while abhorring killing." West of the temple was Yiniu Lane. Inside this lane were the residences of Chenliu Prince Jinghao and the Attendant-in-ordinary, the Duke of Anding, Hu Yuanji. Jinghao was the son of Chenliu Prince Zhuang, whose personal name was Zuo, the governor of Henei. He was open-minded, generous, and loving toward others, never neglecting anyone from a young age. He was especially skilled in esoteric philosophy and the arts of the Daoists. So he gave up half his residence to house Buddhist monks, where they preached the Great Vehicle and studied several scriptures. The great monks of the capital, such as Masters Chaoguang, Tingrong, and the four Dharma masters, as well as the Tripitaka master, the barbarian monk Bodhiruci, all participated in his gatherings. Artisans and technicians from all quarters also flocked there. At that time, there was a court attendant named Meng Zhonghui, a man from Wucheng. His father, Bin, was the governor of Jincheng. Zhonghui was intelligent and learned, well-versed in Buddhism. He had thoroughly grasped the meaning of the Four Noble Truths. He often came to Jinghao's residence to debate with monks and was then known as "Master of the Mysterious Principle." Zhonghui then created a statue of the central figure, clothed in hemp cloth. Its features were perfectly elegant, rarely seen in the world. He placed it in Jinghao's front hall, where it immediately filled the jeweled throne. In the second year of Yong'an, this statue would walk around its throne every night, leaving footprints on the ground that formed patterns. The people, both lay and clergy, were astonished, and all came to see it. Countless people were inspired to seek enlightenment. In the autumn of the third year of Yongxi, it suddenly disappeared, and no one knew where it went. That winter, the capital was moved to Ye. In the fifth year of Wuding, Zhonghui became Chief Clerk of Luozhou and searched again, but there was no trace. Leaving the Changhe Gate, seven li outside the city, was the Longfen Bridge. During the Central dynasty, because the Gu River's current was swift and flooded under the city walls, often damaging people's homes, a stone bridge was built to control it. The longer course diverted into the Luo River, so it was named the Longfen Bridge. Some said that when the Prince of Hejian was in Chang'an, he sent Zhang Fang to campaign against the Prince of Changsha, and the army camped here, so it was called the Zhang Fang Bridge. It is unclear which is correct. Now, through folk mispronunciation, it is called the Madam Zhang Bridge. Officials often gathered here to welcome or send off guests. West of the Longfen Bridge was the Thousand Gold Dam. The profits from the waterworks amounted to a thousand gold coins daily, hence the name. It was originally built by the Director of Waterworks, Chen Xie. He had a thousand workers employed for its constant maintenance throughout the year.
