The Eight Kings Temple in Shenyang was rebuilt by twelve old people. Why is it called "Eight Kings Temple"?

The reason why Dafa Temple in Shenyang is called Bawangmiao is mainly because the abbot of Dafa Temple made a mistake about Azig's identity. After all, Azig's identity is there, so as the abbot of ordinary people, who dare to ask Azig?

Azig: Twelve sons of Nurhachi, son of Abahai, princess royal.

Azig's mother Abahai is Nurhachi's favorite concubine. Love me, love my dog, and Nurhachi naturally becomes Nurhachi's love for his beloved women and children. What's more, the young people in Azig are crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and brave and good at fighting on the battlefield. They have repeatedly made meritorious military service in previous wars and received many awards from Nurhachi. Even after Huang taiji became the king of Khan, he was very fond of Azig, and even Huang taiji went out of the city to meet Azig who returned home in triumph.

In the first year of Shunzhi, after the Qing soldiers entered the customs, the Qing people were rewarded for their work. Azig ranked eighth among the eight Wang Zizhong kings, so he was honored as the Eight Kings.

The reasons for the naming of the Eight Kings Temple: misunderstanding and coincidence.

What we know is that the abbot of Dafa Temple is very afraid of this Manchu Prince Azig, so the abbot dare not speculate on the identity of King Bamanre without authorization, so the abbot thinks that he is one of the eight iron hats of Azig. After the renovation of Dafa Temple was completed, Azig rudely took Dafa Temple as his own. As a result, Dafa Temple was called Eight Kings Temple by local people under the misunderstanding of the abbot.

Then, coincidentally, Aziz really became the "Eight Kings". It can be said that Dafa Temple was mistakenly called the Eight Kings Temple, which is really wonderful!
