獨家【好時日慢旅行】花蓮慶修院的百年鄉愁|Hualien QingXiuYuan a century of immigrant nostalgia #Travel, #旅遊, #好時日
花蓮吉安慶修院,園區內處處展現日本傳統建築與庭院之美,從手水舍、池塘、廊道、一花一木,漫步其中,彷彿穿越時空來到了日本。景物依舊,但故人何在?
花蓮吉安慶修院,舊名「吉野布教所」,為台灣保存最完整的真言宗寺,不僅是台灣東部最具代表的人文旅遊地標之一,更是日本人來台灣拜訪、旅遊、尋根的觀光重要景點。花蓮吉安鄉,曾是花蓮原住民七腳川社人的原居住地,歷經七腳川事件後,1910年這裡成為日治時期日本官方第一個移民村。因多為日本四國德島縣吉野川流域附近的移民,便將這裡更名為吉野,除思念故鄉之外,也取其吉祥平安之意。
1917年(大正6年)為了撫慰遠渡重洋開墾的思念故鄉的日本四國鄉民,真言宗高野山派的川端滿二募款籌建,成立了「吉野布教所」,所內除供奉主神弘法大師空海、不動明王與毘沙門天王,他自己也親自從日本四國遍路巡禮請八十八尊佛像來到這裡。從此這裡成為當時在地移居日人的宗教信仰中心之一。1945年國民政府接管台灣,日人遣回故里,真言宗吉野布教所更名為慶修院,院內供奉的本尊,也順應台灣人民的佛教信仰,改奉本師釋迦牟尼佛與觀世音菩薩。吉野也改名成為吉安。
花蓮吉安慶修院,見證了日治時期官方移民的歷史發展,2003年11月修復啟用後,依循季節每年舉辦許多充滿文化、多元的祭典活動。唯一不變的是,這裡仍是信神的子民聚集,依舊持續維持著信神敬神的美麗傳統文化之地。

Qing Xiu Yuan(Monastery) in Ji'an Township, Hualien
Formerly known as “Yoshino Shingon Buddhist Temple”
Often described as
“Taiwan’s most well-preserved Buddhist Temple”
It is one of the most representative cultural tourism
landmarks in eastern Taiwan
It is also an important tourist attraction for Japanese people
who come to Taiwan to visit, travel and find their roots
temizuya water pavilion for cleansing body, mind and soul
The buildings and furnishings in the courtyard
preserve the history of Japanese immigration
Ji'an Township, Hualien
Ji-an has been the home of the Amis people
After Cikasuan Incident
This became Japan’s first official immigration village
Because many immigrants come from the Yoshino River Basin
in Tokushima Prefecture, Shikoku, Japan
They renamed it Yoshino
In addition to missing their hometown
they also took it to mean good luck and peace.
In 1917, in order to appease the Japanese villagers
who traveled across the ocean to cultivate land
Kawabata Mitsuruji, a monk of the Koyasan sect of the Shingon sect
Raised funds to establish
"Yoshino Centre for the Dissemination of Shingon Buddhism"
In addition to enshrining the main deity Kobo Daishi Kukai
There are also Fudo Myooh and Bishamon Tennō
He also personally traveled throughout the four countries of Japan
Please come back to the eighty-eight Buddha statues and come here
Goma wood and ema written with wishes are floating in the wind
It’s like singing the homesick song
of immigrants a hundred years ago
The architectural style of the park follows Japanese tradition
Exudes typical Edo period style
huge dense trees
Small bridge, pond, swimming fish, flowers and plants
Full of Japanese garden style
Time wanders here
It feels like I’m in Japan
The Nationalist Government took over Taiwan in 1945
The Japanese were sent back to their hometown
there was also renamed Qing Xiu Yuan
Yoshino changed his name to Ji'an
The deity enshrined in the courtyard
Comply with the Buddhist beliefs of the Taiwanese people
Changed to worship Sakyamuni Buddha
and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva
After being dormant for many years
it was restored and opened to the public in November 2003.
The scenery remains the same
But where is my old friend?
But the only thing that remains unchanged is
People who believe in God still gather here
It still inherits the beautiful traditional culture
belief in God and respect for God
Take a trip to Qing Xiu Yuan
It’s like traveling through time and space together
Witness the multicultural history of the island of Taiwan
