The original plan was to return to Nagaoka Tenjin Station after filming the Guangming Temple, and transfer to other routes to Zenfeng Temple, but the transfer location is very close to Nagaoka Tenmangu, so I walked closer to Tenmangu and waited for the opportunity to find food.After a morning maple viewing trip at the popular Guangming Temple, this time I enter the vast Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine. The tourists are quite sparse but people like it more. I like the tranquility that comes after the excitement.

Sugawara Michizen, the god of learning, is enshrined in Tenmangu Shrine to bring luck to the public to study and take exams.

Sugawara Michizane was born in the 12th year of Seiwa (August 845, 8). That era was the heyday of Japan’s peace and prosperity, and also the heyday of court culture. Therefore, he was at the peak of literature and was a well-known scholar, poet, and poet at the time. politician.It is said that when he was 1 years old, he would chant Japanese songs and show his literary talents station by station. At the age of 5, Sugawara Michizaki was appointed as a doctor of essays and was promoted to Minister of the Right by Emperor Daigo. However, he was no match for the slander of the Minister of the Left, Fujiwara Tokihira, and was demoted to Kyushu Dazaifu as the commander in one fell swoop. He died in depression at Dazaifu.

The reason for the Tenmangu Shrine (てんまぐう) will be introduced in particular. Tenmangu is a shrine of Sugawara Michizaki, the god of worship in Japan. It is distributed all the way from Dazaifu. As mentioned above, when Michizaki Sugawara was demoted to Dazaifu, he passed through Nagaokakyo, Kyoto. Here, in order to commemorate him, there is also a Tenmangu Shrine for future generations.There is a wide Hachijo Pond in Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine, and azalea trees that are said to be about 150 years old are planted on both sides of the road. It is very beautiful, and the maple is also very beautiful in autumn.

Sugawara Michishin's red leaves and song, the way is full of loyalty.

His poems and essays are compiled into the 12th volume of "Sugae Bunka". Although degraded to Dazaifu, he continues to create literary works. One of the waka works is included in the one of Ogura Hundred People. After inquiring, it turns out that it is not only the scholars of ancient Chinese literature. Politically, there is no ambition to send love to poetry, and Japanese scholars are even more, or looking at the red leaves in a long way, it can even more lead to thinking about the loyalty of the country.The following is his Japanese song:

This の degree is a coin も取り敢へず手向山红叶の锦神の随に (Chinese translation: I can't hold the coin here, but the hand is like the red leaves of the brocade, following the side of the gods.
