Zhengding Linji Temple: On the first day of coming to Zhengding, we visited Linji Temple, opening hours 8:00-18:00, tickets 20 yuan.60 or more do not need tickets.
It was not a Saturday or Sunday when we visited, there were not many people, and the visit was very comfortable.
The glory of the past is only a record, we see that there is only one Chengling Pagoda here, the visit time is only half an hour, there are many young people here are taking wedding photos, and there are many young people wearing Hanfu to visit.
Linji Temple was first built in the second year of Emperor Xinghe (540) of Xiaojing Emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and many famous scholars, such as Huang Tingjian, Su Shi, Su Zhe, etc., have a deep relationship with the Linji sect.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, the Japanese monk Rongxi came to the Song Dynasty twice to learn Buddhism, and after returning to China, he founded the Rinzai sect of Japanese Buddhism, and the Rinzai Temple was destroyed in the war between the Song and Jin dynasties, and only the remnants of the tower remained. In the twenty-third year of Jin Dading (1183), Jin Shizong ordered the restoration of Chengling Pagoda and the buildings of Linji Temple. The current Chengling Pagoda is the typical style of Liaojin.
The total feeling is that two days is not enough.
