The "most mysterious" temple in Sichuan. No one has cleaned the temple all year round, but there is not a single fallen leaf on the roof.

In Fuhu Temple in Mount Emei, there is a garden called Liguyuan. Just as its name implies, it seems that all dust and dirt are insulated from it.

In this courtyard, no one has cleaned it for thousands of years, but it still remains spotless.

Some people speculate that there is some supernatural power protecting this "pure place", while others say that Emperor Kangxi's inscription brought divine power to this place.

So, why on earth can this place be spotless without cleaning? What explanation do experts give? What kind of scientific truth is contained in this?

Mount Emei has a nearly 2,000-year development history of Buddhism, which has also left Mount Emei with a rich Buddhist cultural heritage. During this period, many eminent monks were produced, and the Buddhist statues in the temples are even more vivid.

These cultural relics have become the most charming carrier of Mount Emei’s Buddhist culture, making Mount Emei gradually become a Buddhist holy place with far-reaching influence in China and even the world.

Every year, it attracts countless tourists and believers to visit the temples in Mount Emei to worship Buddha.

As we all know, Mount Emei is also the birthplace of Xianxia movies. Such a mountain with immortal style is also home to a temple full of mystery - Fuhu Temple, which is one of the eight major temples on Mount Emei. one.

Although Fuhu Temple is not high in altitude, it is tightly wrapped in countless trees with dense trees.

Even after entering the mountain gate, you have to walk a certain distance before you can see the temple gate.

Therefore, it is difficult for ordinary tourists to discover that there is a large-scale temple hidden in the dense woods.

It is said that Fuhu Temple was originally a very small temple, and everyone called it the Medicine Master's Hall. During the Shaoxing period of the Southern Song Dynasty, the temple was rebuilt.

In ancient times, ferocious tigers and wild beasts often appeared in this area. People around hoped that the Buddha in the temple could suppress them, so the temple was named Fuhu Temple.

Another theory is that because the shape of the mountains behind the temple resembles a prone tiger, the temple was called Fuhu Temple.

No matter which statement is correct, it may have its own reason. This name has been used since ancient times.

During the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, the temple monks decided to renovate the temple. The reconstruction took more than 20 years to complete. After it was built, it was named "Huxi Zen Forest", also known as Fuhu Temple. It has also become one of the largest temples in the mountain.

Whether this temple can really deter tiger beasts as its name suggests is not the question we want to discuss today.

The question that people are curious about is that there is a place in this temple called Lisu Garden.

Over the years, other parts of the temple have fallen leaves or dust, but Lisu Garden is spotless even if no one cleans it. There is not even a fallen leaf on the roof tiles.

It is said that during the Qing Dynasty, because the country encouraged its people to believe in Buddhism, many people went to Fuhu Temple to worship Buddha and pray.

One day, Emperor Kangxi also came to this temple to worship. After worshiping the gods and Buddhas, he discussed chess skills with an enlightened monk here.

During the chess game, Kangxi was about to be defeated by this eminent monk who was well versed in chess skills. At this moment, a fallen leaf fell into Emperor Kangxi's tea cup.

The emperor, who was already unhappy with playing chess, became irritable and thought: "As an emperor, not only are my chess skills slightly inferior to those of the eminent monks here, but now I even have to play fallen leaves." It fell into my cup to tease me."

Kangxi, who was displeased, immediately asked his entourage to bring pens, inks, paper and inkstones, and nominated this place as "Ligu Garden". . I hope this place will be clean in the future, so clean that not a single fallen leaf can fall into his cup.

Lisu Garden, as its name suggests, hopes that there will be no dust and fallen leaves everywhere in the garden. Of course, this Lisu Garden is also truly spotless.

The three characters "Liguyuan" inscribed by Kangxi himself are still well preserved in the garden to this day, and the characters on the plaque are also shining brightly in the palace.

Many literati and ordinary people were very surprised and confused by this phenomenon. Is it really because of these words mentioned by Emperor Kangxi that the entire garden has always been kept clean?

Do these words really have magical power that is unknown to the world?

This speculation has been widely circulated among the people.

Of course, there is another speculation, that is, everyone believes that this magical phenomenon is inextricably linked to the Huayan Pagoda placed above the Main Hall of Fuhu Temple.

With a total height of 5.8 meters, this pagoda is the largest copper pagoda in China so far.

It was cast during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. Not only does it have a long historical background, it was also cast and completed in one go, with no trace of splicing on the tower body.

This pagoda is also the treasure of Fuhu Temple. The reason why many people come to Fuhu Temple is to see the majesty of this pagoda.

Local people said that the reason why the wind from the temple did not blow the fallen leaves and dust on the trees into the garden was mainly because the towering pagoda suppressed the wind direction.

Of course, the Huayan Pagoda is indeed a rare treasure, but how can a pagoda control the direction of the wind?

There is also a saying among the people that due to Fuhu Temple's long history and the inscription written by Emperor Kangxi himself, the reputation of this temple has long been spread outside.

Therefore, it attracts a large number of people who come to worship Buddha devoutly every day. Their arrival makes the temple continuously popular.

Could it be that the reason why Lisu Garden is clean is because these Buddhist disciples who come to offer incense every day take the initiative to clean every part of the temple spotlessly?

Someone also specifically asked these Buddhist disciples about this. The old nun in the temple replied that the garden will be carefully cleaned inside and outside every day, but he will not go to the roof every day. Sweep fallen leaves.

In our opinion, this statement has some basis for explaining the spotless garden, but how to explain the phenomenon that there are no fallen leaves on the roof?

The temple is located in a deep mountain and dense forest, surrounded by towering trees. It is impossible for these trees not to shed a single leaf in this garden, but to all fall leaves in other gardens. This is obviously not the case. Any scientific basis.

Among these three statements, many people are skeptical about these three statements that have no scientific basis. So in response to these questions, netizens also summarized these typical questions:

First, Fuhu Temple is located at the foot of Mount Emei, and various types of trees on Mount Emei, And the small plants that grow on it all follow the laws of nature and thrive upward.

According to the laws of gravity of the earth, it is a natural phenomenon for fallen leaves to float to the roof. However, Lisu Garden is very different from other gardens. There are no fallen leaves on the roof.

Second, the altitude of Mount Emei is about 4,000 meters, and there are nearly 200 ancient temples on the entire mountain. So why have there never been other temples except the Ligu Garden of Fuhu Temple? The legend of the spotless garden, and the news reports?

Isn’t it the monks from Fuhu Temple who clean the Ligu Garden?

The matter has become more and more confusing as netizens discuss and forward it. These questions have become more and more mysterious in the discussions among netizens. However, in the end, these discussions have no scientific basis. Explain these situations.

Since Fuhu Temple has always attracted many devotees, there are always a large number of tourists visiting this temple every year to worship Buddha.

In addition, local tour guides always use mysterious words to guide tourists to understand the temple.

For example, since the establishment of Fuhu Temple, there has not been a single fallen leaf on the roof of Liguyuan. It is said that this is because of the protection of the Buddha.

Amidst all the publicity and discussions, people are becoming more and more interested in uncovering the answer.

It is precisely because this phenomenon cannot be explained by natural laws. In order to reveal the answer, experts are also attracted by this phenomenon.

As expected, a large number of scientists and professors about nature came to this temple.

After two months of closed-monastery observation, experts carefully investigated the surrounding environment of the temple, and finally concluded that the reason for this phenomenon is related to the local wind direction.

As we all know, in ancient times, there was a lot of attention to detail when building a house, and comprehensive considerations were taken from many aspects.

Not only will attention be paid to whether the routes around the building are accessible in all directions, whether the foundation is solid, and whether some unfavorable natural factors such as geological disasters can be avoided. They also pay great attention to the planning and design of the ancient building itself, such as whether it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and whether there is sufficient light in the house during the day.

Fuhu Temple is located in a dense forest, surrounded by towering trees. You should pay more attention to whether the light in the house is sufficient and whether the ventilation is good. Otherwise, the damp environment will not allow the temple to have a long history.

According to expert explanations, Fuhu Temple has a unique design concept in terms of site selection and building construction. When ancient buildings were built, they generally faced north and south. Construction concept, but Fuhu Temple does not advocate this concept.

Its entire direction is built towards the northeast. In ancient times, this kind of building direction and architectural ideas were very novel.

When the wind from the southeast blows towards the canyon around Fuhu Temple, the wind direction in Fuhu Temple immediately changes to the northeast wind.

Fuhu Temple is in exactly the same direction as the northeast wind. Due to this consistent wind direction, and the green and tall trees surrounding the temple all year round.

In this way, the unique building orientation and wind direction allow Fuhu Temple to not only keep the air fresh, but also prevent trees and wind from forming an opposite force and blowing fallen leaves to the roof. This kind of advantage is really rare among many temples.

Experts also said that the reason why the environment around Fuhu Temple has always been kept spotless is probably because the southeast wind passes through the canyon and changes to the northeast wind after reaching the temple. relationship.

Experts have also conducted corresponding experiments to confirm this statement.

After many tests by experts, the strange phenomenon of wind direction changing appeared again.

By observing the direction in which the candle flames burn, we can see that the wind direction of Lijiu Garden appears at the door, and this wind direction changes again when entering the garden.

The candles inside the Lisu Garden changed their burning direction many times, which also shows that the wind direction changed many times inside the garden. In short, the reason why multiple wind directions appear at the same time is that there is a natural phenomenon of vortex wind in Lisu Garden.

So what is vortex wind?

A cyclone is a vortex of air that is constantly spinning. It is a vortex that carries a lot of dust from the ground and rises into the air. This kind of vortex often appears in our daily life, and it is something we can often see. A small whirlwind rolled up from the ground.

The cause of small vortices is a natural phenomenon caused by the irregular flow of air.

When the air wraps around the ground and flows towards uneven and irregular places such as trees, mountains, and buildings, or when the air rubs against the ground, it must be changed in a timely manner. The way forward. At this time, a vortex will be generated and move with the air flow, which is the cause of the cyclone.

However, in nature, such cyclones rarely appear and their wind speeds are also very small.

Because the air is constantly flowing, and the earth is constantly rotating from west to east.

Therefore, during the flow of air, it is affected by the rotation of the earth. The original north wind deflects into northeast wind, the south wind deflects into southwest wind, the west wind deflects into northwest wind, and the east wind deflects into southeast wind.

The closer the vortex wind is to the center, the stronger the wind force is and the faster it rotates.

According to the detection of geographical experts, Fuhu Temple is located in a very small basin. When the air flow in the air suddenly encounters this small basin, it changes its direction and promptly Drive the air flow to form a small vortex wind.

Lisu Garden is right at the center of the vortex, so the wind force is the strongest here. This is why Lisu Garden can always remain clean.

The unique architectural direction, coupled with the fact that Lijiu Garden is located in the center of the vortex, coupled with the unique wisdom of the ancients in building houses in natural landscapes. The garden is always clean and there is not a single fallen leaf on the roof.

In the final analysis, experts summarized the reasons at two levels.

The first is that when Fuhu Temple was built, the temple builders designed the roof of Fuhu Temple to be dozens of degrees higher than the roofs of other temples on Mount Emei. In this way, if There will be some fallen leaves or dust on the roof, which can easily be blown off by the wind.

The second and most important reason is that Fuhu Temple is at the center of the vortex, and Lisu Garden is also at the center of the vortex. There are specially designed vents in the front and back of the temple. Therefore, some leaves were swept away by the whirlwind before they could fall to the roof of Liju Garden.

If any leaves fall on it, those fallen leaves will be swept away immediately if there is a mountain wind. Therefore, there are almost no fallen leaves on the roof of Liguyuan of Fuhu Temple on Mount Emei.

But it is obviously impossible to say that there are no fallen leaves or traces of dust at all. However, compared with other roofs or temples, the roof of Lisu Garden is relatively clean.

The reason why there are so many confusing legends is mainly because Mount Emei itself is a well-known Buddhist mountain, and many people have a sense of awe for this mountain deep in their hearts. In addition, the three words "Liguyuan" were inscribed by Emperor Kangxi personally on a plaque given to the temple, which makes this spotless phenomenon mysterious and unpredictable.
