Beijing Huangsi Temple

Huangsi Street, a famous street landmark in the north of Beijing, originated from a mysterious temple. Since its completion, the temple has never been open to the public for more than 300 years. It is often people with Tibetan costumes who come out and go in. The people only look at the beautiful white tower through the wall, and the others are unknown. The Xihuang Temple was founded in 1651 (Qing Shunzhi eight years), this monastery is a historical witness of hundreds of years of exchanges between the Tibetan local government and the central government of Qing Dynasty, and also records the historical events of exchanges between Tibetan and Han ethnic groups. In the early Qing Dynasty, there were three famous temples in Beijing, known as the three temples in the early morning Beijing, namely Donghuamen Pusheng Temple, Beihai Yong'an Temple and Chengbei Huang Temple. Huang Temple was originally divided into Donghuang Temple and Xihuang Temple, so it is also called Shuanghuang Temple. Donghuang Temple, also known as Pujing Chanlin, has disappeared since now, only in pictures and history books. The two temples are not far apart, built in Qing Shunzhi eight years (1651) and Shunzhi nine years (1652).

Go to Xihuang Temple to see the richest King Kong throne tower carved in Beijing Five years (1652), Tibet's living Buddha rate thousands of people into Beijing pilgrimage, Shunzhi emperor specially built, from the West Huang Temple also became the Tibetan living Buddha in Beijing in the tin. The previous year, Emperor Shunzhi also ordered the construction of Donghuang Temple, which was built for the living Buddha Naomu Khan, also known as "Pujing Zen Forest". Donghuang Temple and Xihuang Temple are also called "Huang Temple" or "Shuanghuang Temple". This area was originally the seat of the palace of the Queen Xiao of Liaoguo. Today, Donghuang Temple has ceased to exist, only Xihuang Temple is left. According to the maps taken before, Shuanghuang Temple was once large-scale. The current West Huang Temple is only part of its original size. Qianlong forty-four (1779), the sixth Panchen took thousands of people from Shigatse Zalunbu Temple in Tibet, and it took 13 months to travel to Chengde Mountain Resort. See Qianlong and congratulate Qianlong on his 70th birthday. This has made a great contribution to maintaining national unity and the reunification of the motherland. Qianlongte built the palace "Sumi Fushou Temple" in the summer resort for Panchen, and after returning to Beijing, Panchen was stationed in Xixi Huang Temple, and Qianlong also built the "Zongjing Jokhang Temple" and the glazed tower for Panchen in Xiangshan. However, the sixth Panchen unfortunately because of the smallpox in the West Huang Temple, Qianlong ordered all the Buddhist temples in Beijing to recite 49 days for the Panchen super, cast gold statues, golden pagoda, and the west side of the West Huang Temple to build the "clear purification city tower" and the Qing purification city tower courtyard, because the tower is for the sixth Panchen built, so commonly known as "Panchen tower", The tower treasures the VI Panchen crown and the gift of the Qianlong emperor, etc., Qianlong forty-seven years (1782) November, the tower courtyard was built, Qianlong's own imperial book "Qing Purification City Tower Notes", the imperial monument is in the tower courtyard east and west two monument pavilions. Qing Purification City Tower is one of the four existing King Kong throne towers in Beijing, the other three are Wuta Temple Tower, Biyun Temple Tower, Miaogao Tower, and the tower of Xihuang Temple is also the most abundant sculpture. In 1987, the Chinese Tibetan-language Advanced Buddhist College was officially founded in Xihuang Temple, and the 10th Panchen was the first president. Now Xihuang Temple is open for visits, but only Saturdays and Sundays a week, with a daily limit of 600 people, so if you want to go, you really have to remember to make an appointment in advance with the public account. The environment of the temple is quiet and the temple is magnificent. There are many ancient trees in the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years, but it is definitely worth visiting the West Huang Temple from the perspective of viewing the ancient construction. The Qingpur City Tower is undoubtedly the core part of the existing Xihuang Temple. A very solemn white tower, this King Kong throne tower itself gives a magnificent visual impact, and the stone carvings of countless Buddha statues and Buddhist stories on the tower greatly increase the view of this tower. I couldn't see enough for three weeks around the tower. The two Qianlong Royal Monuments are on both sides of the tower courtyard and are placed in a very tall monument pavilion. Such a tall monument pavilion is really rare, even if other imperial monument pavilions are rarely so tall. In addition, here is called the "Xihuang Temple Museum", there are really many exhibition halls, several themes, including Liangzhou Huimeng, the sixth Panchen, Tibetan Buddhism three-level academic title, the history of Xihuang Temple, Tibetan Buddhism living Buddha reincarnation, etc.

The West Huangsi is covered with yellow glazed tiles, with red walls and pine, pagodas, and extraordinary momentum.
