据《宁波府志》、《慈溪县志》、《保国寺志》等志书记载，保国寺始建于东汉。因位置在灵山山腰，故名灵山寺。 其背枕贸峰，左辅象鼻，右弼狮岩，寺幽而势阻，地廊而形藏。唐会昌五年（八四五）灭佛，寺废。广明元年（八八0）重建，改名保国寺。宋治平二年（一0六五）起改名精进院，后又复称保国寺。 保国寺名闻遐迩，是以其精湛绝伦的建筑工艺而令人叹为观止。保国寺最初由山门、天王殿等建筑组成。现存大雄宝殿重建于北宋大中祥符六年（一0一三），是长江以南最古老、保存最完整的木结构佛教建筑，其结构独特，气势恢宏。清康熙二十三年（一六八四）加建重檐，成为歇山顶形成。千年大殿巍然如初，堪称中国建筑文化奇葩，具有很高的历史、艺术和科学价值。其主要特点是：平面布置进深（一三.三八米）大于面阔（一一.八三米），呈纵长方形；在前槽天花板上绝妙的安置了三个缕空藻井；复杂的斗拱结构；[四段合]作瓜棱柱，柱身有明显的侧脚；梁伏、阑额做成两肩卷刹的月梁形式等。这些都接近或吻合于宋《营造法式》，承袭某些唐代建筑遗风，为研究宋代建筑提供了宝贵的实物例证。 其他多为清代建筑。一九八三年迁入明代厅堂三间，一九八四年迁入唐代经幢两座，现在保国寺已成为一个拥有唐、宋、明、清、民国等各个时期的木构建筑群体。占地面积一三000多平方米，建筑面积六000多平方米。中轴线上依次排列有山门、天王殿、大雄宝殿、观音殿、藏经楼五幢建筑，东西轴线分别为钟楼、鼓楼、客堂等附属建设。一九六一年三月国务院把保国寺列为全国重点文物保护单位。 保国寺内共有十七个展室，全天候对外开放。除了建筑本身，重要的文物展品有钦赐龙藏、佛像陈列、青铜礼器、砖雕石刻、中国的世界文化与自然遗产、千工床、万工轿等。占地七二.四七公顷的灵山六景（共分保国寺、灵龙泉、青幛亭、望海尖、梅林、涵秀潭六大景区）以自然山林为主，生态环境好，古树名木多，绿化覆盖率达百分之九十以上，是人们旅游、娱乐、休闲的理想场所，是宁波对外开放最早的旅游景区之一。 2002年保国寺以“笑迎天下客 满意保国寺”为宗旨，通过了国家AAA级旅游景区的评定，年接待游客量超过30万人次。 2003年，当值宋代建筑典范----宁波保国寺大殿建成990周年，为纪念中国建筑历史上这座重要宋代建筑遗构矗立990周年，将举办各种系列纪念活动。另外，保国寺景区在继续举办和推出金秋赏桂、摘茶品茗、采撷杨梅、野营烧烤等活动和服务内容的基础上，还将举办首届宁波荷文化节。 | ||
As recorded by chronicles like Ningbo Municipal Chronicle, Cixi County Chronicle and Baoguo Temple Chronicle, Baoguo Temple was originally built in East Han Dynasty. As it was situated at the mid-point of Linshan Mountain, Baoguo Temple took up its former name, Linshan Temple. With Maofeng Mountain at its back, flanked by Xiangbi Mountain and Shiyan Mountain respectively, Baoguo Temple enjoys ultimate tranquility and absolute seclusion. 845 AC, Buddhism was abolished and Baoguo Temple fell into ruin. It was not until the year 880 that the temple was reconstructed and renamed Baoguo Temple. The year 1065 witnessed its adoption of the name Jinjin Yuan, which later resumed its former name of Baoguo. Baoguo Temple boasts well-established fame and its incredibly marvelous architectural skills has gained wide recognition. Baoguo Temple originally is made up of major buildings inclusive of Mountain Gate and The Front Hall. The present palace was rebuilt in 1013 and is now the oldest and most completely preserved wooden Buddhist building with a unique design and impressive vigor. Its roof was renovated in Kanxi 23rd Year and took the shape of gable and hiproof. Listed among the wonders of Chinese architectural civilization, the ancient palace is now as impressive as it used to be, and assumes high historic, artistic and scientific values. Its main characteristics include: the width of the palace (13.38m) is greater than its length (11.83m), in the form of a verticle rectangle; three perforated caissons are adroitly designed in its front hall ceiling; the intricate Dougong structure; four coated arris columns with obvious flank feet at their bodies; a peculia moon beam style with two folding shoulders. All the above features resemble or approximate the methods of Yinzao Fasi in Song Dynasty with the evident influences of architectural characteristics of Tang Dynasty, which provides ample precious real-case examples for the study of Song style architecture. Apart from the Front Hall, other buildings were mainly built in Qin Dynasty. Three halls of Ming Dynasty and two pagodas of Tang Dynasty were added in the year 1983 and 1984 respectively. At the present stage, Baoguo Temple has established itself as a collection of wooden architecture with buildings of Tang Dynasty, Song Dynasty, Ming Dynasty and Republic of China. With a floor space of over 13,000 square meters and the construction space buildings of Mountain Gate, The Great & Magnificent Hall, Guanyin Hall, and Scripture Hall in sequence and other auxiliary buildings on the east-west axis such as Drum Tower, Bell Tower and Guest Hall. In March 1961, the State listed Baoguo Temple among the key cultural relics under State-level protection. There are altogether 17 exhibition halls in Baoguo Temple open to the public. In addition to the building itself, other important cultural relic exhibits on desplay include Emperor-conferred Longchang, Buddha statues, bronze utensils, brick and stone sculpture, a-thousand-labor bed, the-thousand-labor sedan, to name just a few. The top six scenic spots of Linshan, (Hanxu Pool, Linlong Spring, Qinzhang Pavilion, Baoguo Temple, Sea-viewing Tip and Plum Forest), which occupies a total area of 72.47 hectares boast a majority of natural forests, sound ecological environment and diverse ancient forests.
