Historical evolution of heaven

In 688 AD, Wu Zetian bowed and arched for four years. In February, Gan Yuan Hall, the main hall of Taiji Hall, was demolished and Amin Hall was built in it. After the completion of Tang Ming, Wu Zetian ordered Xue Huaiyi to build a big statue (dry lacquer statue, today's bodiless statue) in the north of Tang Ming. The Buddha statue made is so huge that dozens of people can still be accommodated in its little finger. And set up a paradise in the north of Tang Ming to worship a giant Buddha statue. The heaven built is hundreds of feet high and the level is * * * 5. On the third floor, you can already overlook Tang Ming, which is nearly 90 meters high, showing the height of heaven. The completed paradise has become an important place to worship Buddha in the palace. Shortly after the establishment of Heaven, it was destroyed by the wind because of its huge volume. Later, heaven was rebuilt, and 10 thousand people were employed every day. Over the past few years, it has cost trillions, and the government is exhausted.

In the first month of 695 AD, after the completion of Heaven, Wu Zetian made a naked meeting in Tang Ming. He also killed cows to get blood, which was used to draw giant Buddha statues, whose heads were 200 feet high.

In the first month of AD 695, on the eighth day (Shen Bing), a giant Buddha was hung in the south of Tianjin Bridge, and food for the Buddha was placed. At that time, the doctor Shen Nan was favored by Wu Zetian, and Xue Huaiyi held a grudge. It was a night, and it burned heaven and extended to Tang Ming. The fire in Luoyang, the capital of China, was as bright as day, and the storm split the blood into hundreds.

After Wu Zetian knew the truth about the burning of heaven, in order to avoid it, she only said that the workers and apprentices working in heaven neglected to burn the linen Buddha statue, which prolonged the burning time in Tang Ming. At that time, people all over the city were celebrating the Lantern Festival in the first month, and there were drinks everywhere. The main hall and heaven in Miyagi were burned, which is a very serious matter. Liu Chengqing, the left editor, asked to stop church meetings and wine gathering in order to answer the condemnation of heaven, and Wu Zetian allowed it. Yao said: "From the previous Zhou Dynasty to the Zhoucheng fire, the result of divination was that this dynasty was more prosperous;" During the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, Bailiangtai was rebuilt after the fire, and its virtue was longer. Now Tang Ming is only a place to issue government decrees, not a ancestral hall, and should not laugh at itself. " So Wu Zetian boarded the main entrance of the imperial city, watched the people drink as usual, and ordered the reconstruction of the main hall and heaven, and still appointed the monk Huaiyi as the messenger to preside over the construction; A bronze tripod and the zodiac gods were also cast for Kyushu, both one foot high and placed in their respective positions.
