"Foliage Viewing Spots in Kyoto" Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine: A good place for a walk next to Hankyu Nagaoka Tenjin Station

It was originally planned to return to Nagaoka Tenjin Station after the shooting of the Guangming Temple, and transfer to other routes to the Zenho Temple, but the transfer location is very close to the Nagaoka Tenmangu Shrine, so I walked closer to the Tenmangu Shrine and waited for the opportunity to search for 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 AD). That era was the Heian Era and the heyday of court culture in Japan, so he was at the peak of literature. He 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, and he was called a child prodigy. At the age of 5, Sugawara Michima was appointed as a doctor of essays, and then promoted to Minister of the Right by Emperor Daigo, but he was no match for the slander of the Minister of the Left, Tokihira Fujiwara, and was demoted to Dazaifu, Kyushu, as the power commander, and 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 Michizane, the god of worship in Japan. It is distributed all the way from Dazaifu. As mentioned above, when Michizane Sugawara was demoted to Dazaifu, he passed through Kyoto. Nagaokakyo is here, so in order to commemorate him, there is also a Tenmangu Shrine for future generations.There is a wide Hachijo Pond in the 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 red 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 it was degraded to Dazaifu, he continued to create literature. One of the waka works was included in the one of Ogura Hundred People. After searching, I realized that it was not only ancient Chinese literature. Politically, scholars have 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 wakam:

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.
