Where is the location of Kaifa Temple in Xiong 'er Mountain?

Kaifa Temple in Xiong 'er Mountain is a cultural tourist attraction.

Development Temple is located in the mountains (Xiong 'er Mountain) in the west of Zhuangshang Village, Dianzhen, Hebei Province, 8 kilometers east of Shexian County. Because one of the peaks around the temple resembles a bear's ear listening to the Zen sound in the temple, Kaifa Temple was named Xiong 'er Temple. According to Shexian Annals, the temple was founded in Han Dynasty and flourished in Ming and Qing Dynasties. After several dynasties of continuous construction, repair and improvement, the scale of the development temple once reached its peak. Until the eve of liberation, the temple still has 4 halls and 24 courtyards, covering an area of more than 20 mu, ranking first among all temples in Shexian County.

Development Temple is a Zen Dojo among the ten schools of Buddhism, among which Lin Ji School has the greatest development. Judging from the existing inscriptions, there are only 20 generations in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and there are almost 500 monks practicing, which can be described as Lianchi Haihui and Buddhist jungle. There are many monks among them. For example, there was a monk named Changshun in the Qing Dynasty, and his life story was recorded in the book Biography of Eminent Monks in Past Dynasties. Monk Changshun is famous for his foresight, great compassion and compassion. He often adjusts medicines to treat diseases, and all of them are cured. In the Ming dynasty, he was circulated as a god, and his portrait was worshipped by every family at four o'clock.

Kaifa Temple is the Kaifazu Temple in Shexian County. However, due to historical changes, many ancient temples were destroyed, main halls were demolished and monks scattered. The yard was empty and disappeared into the cold smoke and grass. When people see it, they can't help feeling sad.

It used to be more than a thousand years, but now the government is harmonious and everything is thriving. With the attention of the local government and people, Kaifa Temple has been rebuilt as never before, and then the golden body has been molded into a new look. For example, three newly painted temples were built on artificial stone cliffs, and the newly built Great Compassion Pavilion took care of the octagonal glass well, which is the treasure of the temples. The cool and sweet spring water overflowed from the golden water bottle held by the colored plastic Guanyin, saving all beings day and night and nourishing all things. The newly-built Jinshui Bridge and Lotus Pond are small and exquisite with elegant shapes; Various patterns carved on the marble guardrail are also vivid and interesting.
