Brief introduction of Tanzhe Temple

Tanzhe Temple is located at the foot of Tanzhe Mountain in the southeast of Tougou District, Jingxi, about 30 kilometers away from the city center. Surrounded by mountains, tall peaks block the cold current from the northwest, so the climate here is warm and humid.

The ancient trees are towering, the architecture is simple and exquisite, and the scenery is very good. Tanzhe Temple was built in the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, with a history of 1700 years. It is the oldest ancient temple in Beijing, and a folk proverb once said, "Tanzhe Temple comes first, then Beijing City".

When Judy, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, built the Forbidden City, he was deeply impressed by the design style of Tanzhe Temple. The most obvious thing is that the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City is modeled after the Hall of Great Heroes in the temple, and the architectural style adopted is the roof of the double-eaved palace.

The royal temples in this capital are full of royal relics. Every first and fifteenth day, the fragrance here is very strong. No matter the dignitaries or the peddlers and pawns, they will gather here to burn incense and pray for the blessing of the Bodhisattva.

Entering the temple from the mountain gate, there are buildings such as the mountain gate, the Heavenly King Hall, the Ursa Major Hall and the Piluge on the central axis of the temple, and there are pear trees courtyard and palace courtyard on the left and right sides, all of which can be visited on foot.

The architectural style of the temple is unified, and most of them have bright and brilliant paintings, and the layout is very beautiful. There are many palaces where the emperor lived, so they are very beautiful. In addition to buildings, there are many towering old trees in the yard, which cover the sky and give people a feeling of ancient simplicity and tranquility, and photography is also very good.

There are thousands of ginkgo trees and Er Qiao magnolia flowers in Tanzhe Temple, which are the two treasures of plants in Tanzhe Temple. There are two huge ancient ginkgo trees in front of the main hall, and a ginkgo tree planted in the Tang Dynasty in the east is 1400 years old. It takes six or seven people to hold the tree, and the west is from Liao Dynasty.

Emperor Qianlong named this tree "Imperial Tree" when he visited here. Since then, after each new emperor ascended the throne, new branches will grow from the root of this tree and gradually merge with the old one.

When Puyi, the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty, visited Tanzhe Temple later, he pointed to a thin stem on the east side of the imperial tree that didn't match the trunk and said, "This little tree is me, because it didn't grow into a crooked neck tree." Of course, this is just a folk rumor, and the truth remains to be verified, but it also reflects the shock of this Millennium ginkgo tree from the side.

The two treasures of Tanzhe Temple are treasure pots: one is a big pot with a diameter of 4 meters and a depth of 2 meters. You can put 10 stone in porridge once, and it takes 16 hours to cook it once. During the disaster relief, the victims can receive porridge and rice here.

There will be free incense for tourists in the temple, but there will still be incense sold to you along the way. Don't believe what the incense vendor says, just go straight ahead.

It's a long distance from downtown to Tanzhe Temple, and there's basically nothing to eat around the temple. You'd better bring something to eat yourself just in case.

Listening to Zen in the temple on weekends can make people feel calm instantly. If you don't want to enter the temple, there are mountain roads to walk next to, and listening to the bells while walking is also a kind of enjoyment.
