I once heard of a mysterious ancient temple, which is located in Mentougou on the outskirts of Beijing, backed by green mountains, and is called Tanzhe Temple. This ancient temple,Not only does it have a long history of 1,700 yearsIt is also amazing because of its legendary story and special status.
Let's look back at the past and present life of Tanzhe Temple. Legend has it that in the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty,The temple is already taking shape. Originally called "Jiafuji Temple", it has a close connection with a military governor who has achieved great military success. After the completion of Jiafu Temple, in order to pray for peace and tranquility, the mystery of the name was taken from Princess Miaoyan, the wife of the Governor of Wangjun, and the first year of the country name Yongjia at that time. With the change of dynasties,The temple has undergone many name changes and repairs, and finally got its name after the mountain behind the temple and became today's Tanzhe Temple.
Tanzhe Temple was reborn during the Tang Dynasty. Several monks feel that the mountains and forests here are quiet and pureHe paid for a large-scale renovation and expansion of the temple out of his own pocket. These monks are famous, and there are many believers under them, making Tanzhe Temple a Buddhist resort where incense is flourishing. Even during the construction of the city of Beijing,The inspiration of Tanzhe Temple provided the prototype for the construction of Xinjing, and it can be regarded as a contribution to the prosperity of the capital.
What is puzzling is,The temple is now guarded by armed police and patrolled 24 hours a day. With the increasing frequency of international exchanges, dignitaries from all over the world have come to pay homage, and Tanzhe Temple has become an important place to receive VIPs. Moreover,The cultural relics treasured in the temple are even more priceless, such as the "princess worshipping bricks", the stone fish falling from the sky and the treasure "Sakyamuni seated statue". These treasures attract a steady stream of tourists, and the armed police exist to protect these cultural treasures and the safety of tourists.
Among them,"Princess Worship Bricks" tells the legendary story of Princess Miaoyan, the daughter of Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan dynasty, who became a monk to escape the war and prayed for blessings in the temple. Another treasure, the "Stone Fish from the Sky", is endowed with magical powersIt is said that by striking the body of the fish, the drought problem of the corresponding province can be solved. These legendary stories and magical treasures make Tanzhe Temple endlessly charming.
Time flies, and Tanzhe Temple is still an endless stream of tourists. The presence of armed police officers and soldiers ensures the safety of touristsIt also guards these heirlooms. Every piece of green brick,Each Buddha statue carries the vicissitudes of history and legendary stories.
