Wangxian Temple
Also known as Ziqing Temple, located in Zhangjiazhuangzi Village, Dongtou Town, yuan, there is 1 tower, 1 bell and drum tower, a number of stele stones, and other bricks and stones scattered everywhere. According to the stele, "Wangxian Temple, built in the Han Dynasty, flourished in the Tang Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, the Ming dynasty, the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty, when there were famous monks living in xi, when Fang Qisheng was in its prime, there were more than a thousand monks, the precepts were strict, the temple was magnificent, and it was the Qilu Crown." The temple was destroyed in the last years of the Republic of China.
Local folklore tells the beginning and end of the mysterious rise and fall of Wangxian Temple. At that time, there were WutaiShan monks who wanted to go to other places to choose another temple site. Before leaving, the master gave him a tiger and a bell. And told him that "the tiger lives in the people can't live, and the bell stays in the people." After the three detachments came to the boundary of present-day Yi and Mongolia, they left the tiger in the local "Liuhuyu Village" according to the instructions, picked the bell and continued to move forward, and when they came to the nearby Zhangjiazhuang Village, they saw the dragons fighting in the stream under the mountain and watched with their feet. When I picked the bell again, I couldn't even pick it up, so I followed the master's instructions and built a monastery here to practice. In the following 500 years, the incense of Wangxian Temple flourished, and at its peak there were 999 monks. One day, the abbot found that there were 1,000 people eating. So the sudden inspiration made each monk tie a red line, and the result was that there were more young monks. After the meal, the abbot ordered to follow where he came from, and when he turned the foot of the mountain, the little monk disappeared and found a "thousand year ginseng" in the place where he disappeared. The abbot immediately ordered the ginseng to be dug up and cooked to share. But there were dogs in the temple who smelled the fragrance and stole ginseng to eat. After losing the protection of the thousand-year-old Sanshin Reiki, Wangxian temple has since declined.
