Tanzhe Temple was built in the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (AD 307). Originally known as Kafka Temple, this temple was named Yun Xiu Temple by Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty. However, because there is Longtan behind the temple and Zheshu on the mountain, it has always been called "Tanzhe Temple" by the people. Known as the folk proverb "Tanzhe Temple comes first, Beijing City comes last".

The main hall is built on the mountain, and it is strewn at random. There are 9,999 and a half rooms in the Forbidden City in Beijing, and there are 999 and a half rooms in Tanzhe Temple in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, which is like the epitome of the Forbidden City.

The building maintains the Ming and Qing styles and is the largest temple complex in the suburbs of Beijing. The whole building complex fully embodies the aesthetic principles of ancient architecture in China, and there is a central axis running through it, which is basically symmetrical from left to right, making the whole building complex look neat and tidy, with clear priorities and distinct levels. Its architectural forms are temples, halls, pavilions, halls, pavilions, pavilions, buildings, altars and so on. There are many buildings and scenic spots outside the temple, such as the Upper and Lower Pagoda, the East and West Guanyin Cave, the Anle Yanshou Hall, Longtan, etc., which are scattered like stars holding the moon, forming a tourist attraction with many scenic spots, diverse styles and different tastes in Fiona Fang. Tanzhe Temple is not only rich in human landscape, but also very beautiful in natural landscape, with beautiful scenery in spring, summer, autumn and winter and different tastes in the morning and evening.

Tanzhe Temple (4 pieces) Panorama of Tanzhe Temple Tanzhe Temple was built in the fourth year of Jianxing in the Western Jin Dynasty (365,438+06). It is the earliest temple built after Buddhism was introduced into Beijing. It was established in a small area and was named Kafukuji. At that time, Buddhism had not been accepted by the people, so its development was slow. Later, the Northern Wei Dynasty and the Northern Zhou Dynasty "destroyed the Buddha" twice, so Kafkaji did not develop since its completion, and then gradually fell into disrepair.

Long live Wu Zetian In the Tang Dynasty (696-697), Hua Yan, a monk of Huayan Sect, came to Tanzhe Temple to start a mountain to build a temple, "taking Huayan Sutra as a pure business", and Tanzhe Temple became the first established temple in Youzhou area, and Tanzhe Temple flourished.

During the Huichang period of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yan, a native of Tang Wuzong, believed in Taoism. Encouraged by Zhao Guizhen, a Taoist priest, and Li Deyu, a powerful minister, Tang Wuzong ordered the destruction of Buddhism throughout the country. Tanzhe Temple was therefore abandoned.

In the late Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties, famous Zen monks came to Tanzhe Temple from the real Zen master, uprooted wasteland and renovated the temple. "Thousands of teachers and disciples taught the Dharma, and Tanzhe Temple flourished", which made Tanzhe Temple out of the shadow of "Wuzong destroyed Buddha" and flourished again. At that time, Tanzhe Temple was changed from Huayan Sect to Zen Sect.

During the Liao Dynasty, due to the prosperity of legalists in Youzhou area and the slow development of Zen, the incense of Tanzhe Temple declined.

In the Jin Dynasty, Zen developed greatly in Zhongdu (now Beijing), and several Zen masters appeared in Tanzhe Temple, which greatly improved the reputation of the temple. In the first year of Tong (11), Jin Xizong went to the Tanzhe Temple to worship Buddha, and funded the renovation and expansion of Tanzhe Temple. This was the first emperor to visit Tanzhe Temple, which made later emperors follow suit, greatly promoting the further improvement of Tanzhe Temple's status and the prosperity of temple incense. Emperor Xizong changed the name of the temple at that time to "Daman Jushi" and allocated funds for the large-scale reconstruction and expansion of Tanzhe Temple, which created a precedent for the emperor to name Tanzhe Temple and the court to pay for the repair of Tanzhe Temple.

During the Dading period, Crown Prince Wan Yan Yungong went to the Tanzhe Temple to worship Buddha on behalf of his father Jin Shizong Wan Yan Yong. Zen master Yu Chong, the abbot at that time, wrote a poem entitled "From Xianzong to Tanzhe Temple" to describe the grand occasion at that time. Later, in the fifth year of Ming Chang (1 194), it was carved into a monument and stood in the temple. Now this monument still exists.

Zen Buddhism flourished in Tanzhe Temple in Jin Dynasty, with Master Lin Jizong and Zen Master Guanghui Tongli as the representatives. Xing Kai is from Huairou County, Beijing today. At the age of 9, he became a monk in Tanzhe Temple, worshiped the true Zen master as a teacher, and studied Lin Jizong's Buddhism. Later, I traveled to Liaodong and Qilu, visited famous ancient temples, and learned Buddhism from eminent monks from all over the world. After I went back, I promoted Zen in Chikulingji, Maanshan. In the early years of Dading, Master Shanhai of Tanzhe Temple led the monks to Chikulinji and respectfully invited them back to Tanzhe Temple as abbots. During his initial tenure as abbot, with the support of the imperial court, Tanzhe Temple underwent a large-scale renovation and expansion in 1 1 year, which made the temples and halls of Tanzhe Temple look brand-new. Since then, the Zen Buddhism in Tanzhe Temple has been revived, and its opening-up has become the recognized leader of Lin Ji Sect of Zen Buddhism in Jinzhong and Zhongdu, making Tanzhe Temple the central temple of Lin Ji Sect. He died in the temple, and after his death, he was honored as a "brilliant Tongli" Zen master by Buddhism.

Princess Miao Yan, the daughter of Kublai Khan in Yuan Shizu in the Yuan Dynasty, went to Tanzhe Temple to become a monk in order to atone for her father. After she passed away in the temple, she knelt in the guanyin temple every day to chant "Li Yin". After a long time, she actually ground an adobe in the temple to a depth of two feet. Today, the brick worship of Princess Miao Yan is still enshrined in the Guanyin Hall of Tanzhe Temple, which is a very precious historical relic of Tanzhe Temple. After the master died in the temple, his tomb tower was in the low tower in front of the temple.

After Judy acceded to the throne, Yao was named Zuo Shanshi, the recorder of monks, the abbot of Qingshou Temple, and later the prince, giving him the title of "Xiaoguang" and still taking part in the military and political affairs. After his success, Yao quit his job and went to Tanzhe Temple in Jingxi to live in seclusion. He discusses Buddhism with his old friend the abbot of Tanzhe Temple every day. During this period, the Ming Emperor Judy visited him in Tanzhe Temple. It is said that when Beijing was completed, the designer was Yao, who got a lot of inspiration from the architecture and layout of Tanzhe Temple. Many places in Beijing are built according to the appearance of Tanzhe Temple. The Hall of Supreme Harmony is modeled after the Great Hall of Tanzhe Temple. It is the top of the double-eaved palace, and the ceiling of the wellhead is painted with golden dragons and seals, but it is just a little high. Later, Yao left Tanzhe Temple at the order of presiding over the compilation of Yongle Dadian, but his seclusion in Tanzhe Temple still exists today.
