There are actually many temples in China, such as the most famous onesLuoyang White Horse Temple, Shaolin Temple, Lingyin Temple, Hanshan TempleAnd so on and so forth. But there is only one that is the most specialThe armed police guard the area 24 hours a day, the fence can be described as tight.
What is so remarkable about this seemingly small temple that it can be guarded by the armed police at all times?
The name of this temple is calledTanzhe Temple, located atA Buddhist monastery in Mentougou District, Beijing, Beijing, is only a national 4A scenic spot.
Relative to the hustle and bustle of the city, embark on that gravel road to the templeSuddenly I came to a paradise.
And this temple is more than 1,700 years old, if you want to talk about its origin, it will be long.
It was first built in:The last years of the Western Jin Dynasty,At first, the name was even more arbitrary, and according to the era name at that time (the first year of Yongjia), it was named "Jiafuji".
But then due toThe development of BuddhismThis temple has never been developed, so few people know about it.
It wasn't until later that a few masters gradually developed Tanzhe TempleTemples were also built
Even later in the construction of the Forbidden City, there was a craftsman who adopted the construction method of the houses of Tanzhe Temple.
At that time, the palace was built and planned to rebuild the Forbidden City. If you are interested in architecture, you can take a look at today's Tanzhe Temple and Beijing's "Nine Gates", which are similar.
The style of the heavy eaves hall adopted by Tanzhe Temple is only the Forbidden City in ancient Chinese architecture.
Therefore, Tanzhe Temple also has another name called "Yellow Temple"., many emperors of the past dynasties also came here to worship.
And speaking of the name of Tan Zhe Temple, in fact, it is also very particular, and the word "Tan" is actually very easy to understand, that isBehind the temple of Tanzhe Temple, there is a dragon pool.
There are two springs on the hill behind himNaturally occurring springsIt converges from the mountain and finally converges in the temple, so it is named "Pond".
And this word "Zhe" is actually very simpleThere are a lot of trees in this temple, thus forming the name.
Perhaps few people know what Zheshu is, among themThe largest tree in Tanzhe Temple,It is also a place where many people pray for good health.
Every time this tree reaches the height of summer, it is luxuriant, and the tree is very cool, and the stems and leaves of the treeIt also invigorates blood circulation and dispels blood stasisThat's why so many people want to be safe.
And the name of this temple has also gone through a thousand years of history, and in the end, only "Tanzhe Temple" has been handed down.
WhileThe reason why Tanzhe Temple is so protected, part of it has a lot to do with the "treasures" inside.
among othersThe most famous is this "stone fish".As the name suggests, the stone fish isFish made of stones, and weighs more than 300 catties, maybe you will say that a fish made of stone is so precious.
Let's talk about the story behind it, according to legend, this fish is a treasure of the Dragon King of the West Sea, who later dedicated it to the Jade Emperor.
At this time, there was a great drought in Tanzhe Temple that year, and the people in the vicinity were struggling to make a livingMany people died of thirst, so they prayed to God and the dragon king for rain.
Later, the dragon king took pity on him and sent the fish to the worldIt was also on this day that lightning and thunder thundered in the sky, and a white light split into the Tanzhe Temple, and a stone fish appeared in front of him.
Later, it began to rain in this place, and then the wind and rain were smooth, so many people said that this was a treasure given by God, so they stayed.
Later it was discovered that something even more amazing,This stone fish has thirteen scales, and the emperor was in charge of exactly thirteen provinces.
As long as there is a drought in that province in any year, knock on the corresponding scales, and it will soon rain.
Although the story does sound incredible and cannot be explained by science, the people are convinced.
And then later,This fish is believed to be auspicious, and many people come to watch, and there is even a saying that it will cure diseases.
Later, due to the continuous petting, the water chestnut gradually became smooth, so the fish was preserved and a new one was made for people to see.
And this is of course not the main reason for the protection of the armed police, after all, no one can steal the stone fish weighing more than 300 catties.
The reason why it is protected is because there are many treasures in Tanzhe Temple, such as at that timeThe plaque of the Kangxi Emperor personally lifted the pen,and many priceless cultural relics given by emperors at that time.
The reason for being protected naturally has a precedent and is known inIn the eighties of the last century, someone entered the Tanzhe Temple and tried to steal.
At that time, it was because of lax management, soNowadays, Tanzhe Temple is facing so many tourists, and it naturally needs to be heavily guarded
And whenever something important in the country comes,Tanzhe Temple is an important attraction to visit, and some people even say that the protection of Tanzhe Temple is higher than the most famous Shaolin Temple.
It's not just the artifacts and treasures mentioned aboveIn fact, the houses of Tanzhe Temple are actually the objects they want to protect.
As mentioned above,The construction of Tanzhe Temple is the highest level among the ancient buildings, so the value is very rare.
For example, there is a pair of glazed owls at both ends of the two ridges on the main hall, and the owl kisses belong to water, so the explanation for it is to protect Tanzhe Temple from being destroyed by fire.
There are actually a lot of treasures in Tanzhe TempleEach one has a different story, and one more bite of it"Cauldron".It has attracted people's attention.
This cauldron is said to have been used by the people in the temple for cooking at that timeIt is nearly two meters in size and more than a meter deepWhat else is there to say that "sand leakage does not leak rice, and water does not increase rice".
And next to this cauldron it is said to beTwo snakes, it is said that it is because of peeking at the Son of Heaven,Take the initiative to jump into the pot and atone for your sins.
Among them, there is also a "princess worshipping bricks", which moved many people, saying that it was the third daughter of Kublai Khan, the grandson of Genghis Khan, who could not bear to face her father's killing, so she knelt here every day to burn incense for her father to atone for his sins.
Because it was too long, I knelt down with two knee prints.
What else is inside"Tiger Tower"., as wellTwo ginkgo trees that last year together, it is said to bring good luck to people, and so on.
In recent years, there has also been an "Internet celebrity fox", which also makes people feel very novel, ......
