Is the wish in Zhao Pu Temple valid? Do you go to Zhao Pu Temple to make a wish?
I wonder if the vows and prayers in Zhao Pu Temple are very effective. Perhaps the secluded Qingcheng Mountain endows Zhao Pu Temple with aura, but the mystery of the origin and sudden prosperity of Zhao Pu Temple, as well as legends and stories, are really attractive.
Zhao Pu Temple was originally in a distant mountain. It is reasonable to say that outsiders rarely know about it, but the incense in this temple is very prosperous. The main Buddha statues are usually covered with blessing lights. It is said that this temple is very effective in making wishes and praying. Many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars have been there, and they were once well-known on the Internet. It is estimated that many tourists will visit for this reason.
History of Zhao Pu Temple in Dujiangyan
There are many temples with the same name in China, including several in Chengdu alone. According to the introduction on the stone tablet inside the temple, the Zhao Pu Temple on the hill outside Qingcheng City was "built in Yuan Dynasty, destroyed by fire in Ming Dynasty, and rebuilt in succession during the reign of Kangxi, Yongzheng and Qianlong in Qing Dynasty". Only these short words, there are few historical records about it on the internet, and it is said that it cannot be verified.
There are some legends about the origin of this temple, but most of them have no historical basis. They only know that Zhao Pu Temple was originally a poor little temple, which was converted from a temple abandoned by an early family. However, during the Qianlong period, land was suddenly built on a large scale and gradually expanded into a famous jungle in western Sichuan. The reason why Zhao Pu Temple became rich overnight has always been an unsolved mystery.
