鸡鸣寺英文

Jiming Temple (6th century site, 20th century buildings)Jiming Temple was founded nearly 1,500 years ago during the Liang dynasty, when the emperor ordered the construction of "Tongtai temple" atop Jilong hill. Tongtai, which means "unity then peace" was a phrase borrowed from the Sanskrit Buddhist sutras. Since then, the temple has frequently changed names as portions of the temple were repeatedly destroyed and rebuilt. During one such episode in the Chen dynasty, the Emperor hid with his favorite concubines inside one of the temple wells. As Sui soldiers smashed through the gates of Nanking, the Emperor and his concubines languished in the well until the walls of the well ran with red from the concubine's powdered faces. From that time, the well has been called the "rouge well" or "disgrace well."None of the buildings are very old. A disastrous fire ripped through the temple in 1973, destroying all of the historic structures. Reconstruction began in the 1980s and was largely completed by 1989.

鸡鸣寺位于南京市玄武区鸡笼山东麓山阜上，又称古鸡鸣寺，始建于西晋永康元年（300年），至今已有一千七百多年的历史，是南京最古老的梵刹和皇家寺庙之一。

香火一直旺盛不衰，自古有“南朝第一寺”，“南朝四百八十寺”之首的美誉，南朝时期与栖霞寺、定山寺齐名，是南朝时期中国的佛教中心。

一种说法认为，据史料记载，早在孙吴时期，现鸡鸣寺之处就已建有一寺，名为“栖玄寺”，此因鸡笼山北面有栖玄塘而得名。南朝宋文帝刘义隆第七皇子、建平王刘宏为人谦俭周慎，深得父王信任，并赏赐其在鸡笼山东偏北处建宏敞府第。

刘宏于宋大明二年（458年）临终前，嘱咐将鸡笼山下东偏北处的府第捐为寺庙，沿用名“栖元寺”，元、玄同义，南齐时改名建元寺。

孙吴时期开拓了南北向的潮沟（在今南京市机关大院西墙附近），南接城北渠、运渎，经栖玄寺门前，北通玄武湖，后来，明代筑城时阻断了该潮沟，但此沟的南端直至上世纪80年代初尚存，沟旁尚有几棵老槐树。从这些资料看，三国孙吴时的栖玄寺该是鸡鸣寺的前身。
