Zhihua Temple Photos: Trip Moments
Beijing CityWalk's 'Pear Blossom' Ceiling at 'Zhihua Temple'Beijing has many lesser-known temples scattered and hidden deep within the hutongs. Although small, these temples contain a universe of their own, and Zhihua Temple is one of them. Zhihua Temple is located at No. 5 Lumicang Hutong in Dongcheng District, Beijing, and was founded in 1444 during the Ming Dynasty. Zhihua Temple is the most intact and largest Ming Dynasty temple existing in Beijing, renowned both at home and abroad for its exquisite ancient architecture, Buddhist art, and the ancient 'Beijing music'. The two pear trees at Zhihua Temple have a long history; their trunks resemble the weathered elders, while their canopies are like huge umbrellas, sheltering people underneath from wind and rain. The blooming pear blossoms adorn the treetops, forming an enormous invincible umbrella. The pear blossoms of Zhihua Temple, paired with the ancient architecture in the courtyard, seem to allow one to hear the sounds of history, to hear those forgotten voices in the river of time. It's a great spot for photography. The pear blossoms of Zhihua Temple, combined with the distant Galaxy SOHO, create another kind of scene. On one side is the ancient and lingering sound, and on the other is modern innovation, astonishing people with how harmoniously unified these scenes are.JACKSON MOSS

The twenty-yuan ticket almost only allowed me to see two yuan's worthI went to Zhizhu Temple because it is one of the first batch of cultural heritage sites in our country, located in a hutong on the East Second Ring, adjacent to Douban Hutong, the old home of 'Abei'. Looking at the map, I really don't understand why a small eunuch family temple would charge me 20 yuan for admission (after all, the Summer Palace is also only 20), but there must be something extraordinary about it to be listed as one of the first batch of national cultural heritage sites. When I went there, I specifically looked for a time with official commentary (2 p.m.), and the guide was very serious and meticulous. My friend and I, both laymen when it comes to history and ancient architecture, listened to the explanation of the three courtyards (out of a total of five, with the last two not open to the public) for a full two and a half hours. The guide unfolded the story from multiple perspectives such as history, architecture, and religion, which was very vivid. Without the commentary, I felt that the twenty-yuan ticket only showed me two yuan's worth. 1 For example, the golden-winged Garuda in the scripture repository, the structural mystery of the Thousand Character Classic prayer wheel; the gilded clay sculptures inside the Tathagata Hall, and the Wu-dian roof and black glazed tiles outside the Tathagata Hall are also worth seeing. There is also a stele without words but bestowed by imperial order (the reason is...) 2 Here you can also see caisson ceilings, but the largest one has already been exiled overseas... 3 There is a Beijing opera performance here (at 3 p.m.), a very unique experience, some intangible cultural heritage that almost drifted and got lost in the torrent of history 4 Because it is close to Galaxy SOHO, there are ancient and modern contrasting photo spots X2. One is inside the scenic area, with the Wanfo Pavilion in the foreground and Galaxy SOHO in the background; the other is outside the scenic area, with the hutong alley in the foreground and SOHO in the background. This time, all photos were taken with a mobile phone (iPhone for the elderly) 5 Spring is coming, and the pear blossoms at Zhizhu Temple are about to bloom, which should be even more beautiful then.BRYANT FARMER

Wang Zhen was originally an ordinary person, with a family and wife and children, he once participated in the imperial examination but failed. So he took another path, he served as a local education official for a long time, and a small official with no significant achievements could enter the palace to serve. After entering the palace, Wang Zhen quickly stood out, he was loved by Emperor Xuanzong of Ming, and was appointed as the Lang of the East Palace, serving Prince Zhu Qizhen, who later became Emperor Yingzong. After Xuanzong's death, Yingzong ascended the throne, and promoted Wang Zhen to the position of Chief Eunuch of the Ministry of Rites. Wang Zhen had no talent for governing the country, but he was good at intrigue, and harmed countless people during his autocratic period. In 1449, under his instigation, Yingzong personally led an expedition to Mongolia, which led to his capture in the Tumu Crisis, and Wang Zhen also died in the chaos. Zhihua Temple was a private family temple built by Wang Zhen, built in the ninth year of Ming Zhengtong (1444 AD) Although it was a family temple, it was given a name by Emperor Yingzong. "Baoen Zhihua Zen Temple" After Yingzong successfully restored his throne and ascended the throne for the second time, he still remembered Wang Zhen, and built a shrine for him in Zhihua Temple, erected a stele and wrote a biography for him, and also specially granted a copy of the Great Buddhist Sutra and two scripture cabinets. At its peak, Zhihua Temple covered an area of 20,000 square meters, with five courtyards in front and back, divided into east, middle and west routes, it was a prominent large temple in the eastern part of the imperial city. Today's Zhihua Temple, the main buildings on the central axis are basically intact, with four courtyards, it is the largest Ming Dynasty wooden structure group in Beijing, and it is also a pure land of Zen forest that gathers Buddhist arts such as statues, Buddhist scriptures, murals, and music.

Listening to court music inherited for more than 500 years in the ancient temple of the Ming Dynasty Zhihua Temple was built in 1444, and it was the family temple built by the Ming Yingzong period that led to the "change of civil castles". At that time, Wang Zhen was favored and the power was poured into the field, so he dared to build such a big family temple in Beijing. But at that time, Yingzong valued Wang Zhen, not only did not pursue it, but gave the name of "Yu Jian". Later, the change of the civil castle occurred, Yingzong was captured, Wang Zhen died, Dai Zong was taken to the throne, Wang Zhen's family property was checked, only this Zhihua Temple was "Yu Jian", so it was not affected. Later, "the change of the door" occurred, Yingzong re-emerged, but in Zhihua Temple to Wang Zhenxiu statue to show praise, it is really confused to home. Until Qing Qianlong, Yushi Shen Tingfang accidentally passed through Zhihua Temple, and found that there was actually a statue of Wang Zhen and many rewards from Yingzong. After anger, Qianlong played for punishment, Qianlong approved, Wang Zhen's statue was demolished, the stone tablet was pulled down, and Zhihua Temple was transformed from Sheng to Fall. To Guangxu, Zhihua Temple was destroyed by the eight-nation coalition forces, and it was even more decayed. When the monastery was rented out to maintain its livelihood, the temples were stolen, such as the algae wells in the Zhihua Temple and Wanfo Pavilion, which were originally built on purpose and were the best wood carvings of ancient Chinese buildings, but now have been lost overseas and stored in American museums. After liberation, Zhihua Temple was rebuilt and protected, so that a large number of buildings and cultural relics were preserved, and it became the largest and most complete Ming Dynasty wooden structure complex in Beijing today. And so that the palace music "Beijing music" that has been passed on in Zhihua Temple for more than 500 years can continue to be passed on and have been better developed and promoted. Now Zhihua Temple is also the location of the "Beijing Wenbo Exchange Hall". Although today is a working day, but still before the opening of the door at nine o'clock, there are dozens of people waiting for the temple to visit, the normal fare is 20 yuan, there is a union card can be used at the ticket office with the Beijing Union APP scan code to exchange tickets. Zhihua Temple is a courtyard in the fourth, the first entrance into the mountain gate, the east and west sides are the bell tower and the drum tower, there is a tall clove tree in front of the building, now the white clove on the east side is blooming, than the previous pear blossoms are not inferior, the lilac on the west side is not lush but has a fragrance. The second entrance is where the Zhihua Temple is located. There are algae wells in the Tibetan temple on the west side, which is worth a closer look. In addition to the withered pear trees, there are three seagull trees that are also open and spectacular. The third entry is the Rulai Temple/Wanfo Pavilion in one of the two temples, and the fourth entry is the Great Pavilion but is not open at present. Every morning at 10 o'clock in the morning, there will be live performances of Beijing music, played by the inheritors of Beijing music of Zhihua Temple, playing court music from Tang and Song Dynasty, this is still in 1446 Wang Zhen from the palace to Zhihua Temple and formed a band. Since then, it has been passed down in the temple for more than 500 years, and has the reputation of "living fossils of Chinese music". Today, five band teachers played a song with tube, gong, flute, drum, and Yunxuan. I didn't remember the name, but it was very pleasant.
