Check in at the royal temple Biyun Temple!
💐Hi, everyone! Today I will talk about Beijing's Biyun Temple. There are many famous ancient temples in Beijing, such as Tanzhe Temple, Yonghe Palace, and Hongluo Temple. Biyun Temple is not inferior. It is located in the northern part of Xiangshan Park, Haidian District, Beijing. It was built in the second year of Yuan Zhishun (1331). It was renovated in 2023 and reopened in 2024.
🌸Biyun Temple is built on the mountain, with scattered halls and unique styles. There are many precious cultural relics and exquisite stone carvings here, and the historical and cultural value is extremely high.
🌟During the Yuan Dynasty, the residence of Yelu Chucai's descendants, Yelu Aji, was a temple, and it was initially named Biyun Nunnery.
🎈During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch Yu Jing expanded Biyun Temple and built a tomb for himself behind the temple. Later, he was imprisoned for his crimes and failed to use it as he wished.
🌈During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Biyun Temple underwent large-scale renovation and expansion. Emperor Qianlong came here many times and left many imperial inscriptions. At this time, Biyun Temple was large in scale and exquisite in architecture, and it became one of the representatives of the royal temples.
💫Biyun Temple also has a deep relationship with Mr. Sun Yat-sen. In 1925, Mr. Sun Yat-sen died in Beijing, and his coffin was temporarily placed in Biyun Temple. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and the Yiguan Tomb are important places to commemorate the pioneers of the revolution.
🌺Today, Biyun Temple is not only a long-established ancient temple, but also an important cultural heritage and tourist attraction.
💖In terms of architectural style, the overall layout is exquisite. Sit west to east, build according to the mountain, the height difference from the mountain gate to the stone pagoda behind the temple is more than 100 meters, and more than 300 steps are winding among them, making the buildings high and low. Symmetrical layout with the central axis, six courtyards as the main body, courtyards on the south and north sides, solemn and solemn. It also uses a spiral series form, each courtyard is relatively independent and connected to each other.

The Vajra Throne Pagoda is a landmark building, 34.7 meters high, divided into three layers of pagoda base, throne, and pagoda body. The brick and stone structure is covered with tiger skin stone, and the pagoda body is made of Han white jade stone. The four sides are carved with Tibetan Buddhist statues, imitating the construction of the Five Pagoda Temple in Beijing, and the artistic value is high.

Check-in at 508 Luohan Hall in the capital city.
🌟Visited a long time ago...
Then forgot, details slowly melting in the dust of time.
When I thought back to the time I went, I actually went to Dajue Temple. I stubbornly wandered around the temple for a long time, but to no avail. This morning, after 6 years, suddenly in my consciousness, it jumped out: Biyun Temple! Luohan Hall! It was like a sudden realization.
🌟The Luohan Hall of Biyun Temple was built in the 13th year of the Qianlong reign (1748) and has a square layout with entrances on all four sides, with a total of 508 wooden Luohan statues. It is the most well-preserved among the four Luohan halls in China.
🌟It is said that counting back according to one's own age can find the Arhats that belong to oneself: it is said that the one on the beam, who came late, is Jigong; it is said that the Arhat with the appearance of a military officer inside was provided by an emperor...
Old many stories.
