There is a dragon pond behind the temple and a zhe tree on the mountain, so it has always been called 'Tan Zhe Temple' by the locals
Xiuyun Zen Temple, built by imperial decree, is the most famous temple in the west of Beijing. It was built in the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (307 AD). There is a saying that Tan Zhe Temple existed before Beijing, which is not accurate. It should be said that Xiuyun Temple existed before Youzhou City.
A big historical question! This 1700-year-old temple has never been called Tan Zhe Temple, but where did the name Tan Zhe Temple come from?
The temple was initially named 'Jiafu Temple', called 'Longquan Temple' in the Tang Dynasty, 'Dawan Shou Temple' in the Jin Dynasty, and 'Xiuyun Zen Temple' in the Qing Dynasty by Emperor Kangxi. However, because there is a dragon pond behind the temple and a zhe tree on the mountain, it has always been called 'Tan Zhe Temple' by the locals.
Tan Zhe Temple is a famous tourist destination in the west of Beijing. The temple faces south with its back to Baozhu Peak. Many buildings in the Forbidden City were also built based on Tan Zhe Temple, with a very high similarity.
In front of the Dragon King Hall at the highest point in the northwest corner of Tan Zhe Temple, there is a stone fish, one of the four treasures of Tan Zhe Temple. It is said that touching the stone fish can eliminate disasters and cure all diseases.
The emperor tree of Tan Zhe Temple, an old ginkgo tree that has lived for more than 1300 years, is said to have spirituality. You can go and worship when the ginkgo turns yellow in autumn.
The road to Tan Zhe Temple is now open, you can arrange a time to visit. The ticket is 50, and there is a free incense place in the temple.
People come to the temple to pray for career, health, wealth, and peace.
I haven't come to Tanzhang Temple for several years. There are many people in various attractions on May 1st. We came in the afternoon. Although there are many people, it is still acceptable. The ginkgo trees for thousands of years are still the same, and the stone fish are still the same.
The ticket purchase experience is good and the scenic environment is good. In the early spring season, the weather is clear, it is suitable to climb high and look far, enjoy flowers and pray for blessings, a rare good time! In the scenic spots of West Beijing, it belongs to Tanzhao Temple for a long time and not tireless. The seasons are different, and the years are new.
The phrase "existing Tanzhao Temple, there is Beijing City" highlights the ancient nature of Tanzhao Temple. For this place, I go at least once a year to see the "imperial tree", smell the incense, slowly turn around in the temple, let the heart calm down. It is a good place to go out.
The pine trees in Tanzong Temple are very good. The ancient trees are more than 1400 years old. They are very good. They are the oldest temples recorded in Beijing. Because the temple is famous for Longtan and Banyan Tree. Tanzhang Temple is one of the birthplaces of early Buddhist culture in Beijing. The folk saying "Tanzhang Temple first, and Youzhou City later" is also the largest architectural scale of the temple in Beijing.
I went to Tanzhang Temple last week and I was impressed by this temple. 📍 The temple is located in the foothills of Tanzhang Mountain in the southeast of Mentougou District, in the western suburbs of Beijing, about 30 kilometers from the city center. 🏯 This temple has a long history, built in the first year of Yongjia in Xijin (307 AD), and is the earliest temple built after Buddhism was introduced into Beijing. 🌳 The temple covers an area of 2.5 hectares, and the architectural layout is rigorous and scattered. I visited the main buildings such as the Temple of Heavenly Kings, the Palace of Daxiong, and the Pilu Pavilion along the central axis, and felt the vastness of Buddhist culture. There is also a path to the mountain outside the temple, and you can enjoy the beautiful natural scenery along the way. I climbed the top of the mountain overlooking the entire temple and the surrounding landscape, the scenery is very spectacular. 🏯 In short, Tanzhang Temple is a very worth visiting, not only a historic Buddhist temple, but also a beautiful tourist attraction. #Tanzhang Temple #Buddhist Culture #Temple #Tourist Attractions
In order to avoid the trip on the first day of the New Year, I specially chose a day suitable for praying a blessing a year ago. The staff in the temple are preparing for the Spring Festival tourists in the early stage. But today's weather is particularly good, I feel comfortable, I hope everything goes well.
Take Tanzhe Temple first, and then Beijing City. This sentence confirms the history and heritage of Tanzhe Temple well. When I went there, it happened to catch up with the small snow. The temple in the snow was more charming and worth recommending.
