Where are the Zhengyangmen Gate Tower in Beijing and the Guandi Temple in Yuecheng?

Qianmen Guandi Temple, commonly known as "Laoye Temple".

Located in the south of Zhengyangmen, near the west side of Chengyangmen Cave, that is, inside the urn (between Zhengyangmen and Arrow Tower), the urn was demolished in 19 13, and the originally closed urn became a clearing, revealing Guandi Temple and Kannonji.

In the 1960s, the road was demolished when it was widened.

The Qianmen Guandi Temple was built in the first month of the twentieth year of Hongwu in Ming Taizu (1388). According to the Qing Dynasty's "Ji Sheng at the Age of Emperor Jingdi", "The temple is fine and strict, Zhu Ying is covered with yellow, and the golden niche is a golden niche. The middle is dedicated to the sacred ancestors, which is called' loyalty'. There are inscriptions by Ming Dong Wen Min and Jiao Taishi under Xiqiao. " Although the temple is small, it has a long history. According to legend, when the Ming Dynasty marched to Mobei, it saw an army with a god as its forerunner in the fog. The robe, knife and staff are all bearded and shadowy, and they are Guan Gong. Cross the horse alone. "Yan city is also widely rumored that there is a white horse standing in the court every morning in the city, unable to eat, panting and sweating, and it didn't stop until Cheng Zu returned to Beijing. Some people say that this is the white horse that Guan Gong rode in the war. Hearing this, Chengzu made a decree to worship at the Guandi Temple in Zhengyangmen. So in the Ming Dynasty, emperors after Yongle believed in Guan Sheng. At that time, Guan Sheng's sacrifices were listed in the Royal Sacrifice Code, and every year on May 13, officials from Taichang Hall were sent to salute. Whenever there is a major disaster in the country, we must go to Guandi Temple to burn incense and sacrifice. On October 11th, the forty-second year of Wanli, the emperor sent Li Si eunuch Li Enqi, holding nine gold medals with jade belts, and named Guan Sheng the Emperor of the Three Realms and the Emperor Guan Sheng of Megatronus. In Zhengyangmen Guandi Temple, it was built for three days and announced to the world. Make Guandi and Zhengyangmen Guandi Temple famous all over the world. According to legend, Guandi Temple's Guandi statue is an old relic of the imperial palace in the Ming Dynasty. There are different opinions about the reasons. Legend has it that more commonly, the emperor once asked an astrologer to divine the statue of Guan Di in Ouchi (just like divination, good or bad luck can be inferred according to the year, month, day and time when the sculpture was completed-"birthday"). As a result, it was judged that the statue was the main murderer and would be "thunderous"; So the emperor ordered the fortune teller to use the same method to divine the statue of Guandi in the Guandi Temple in Qianmen, and the result was that the statue was auspicious and fragrant. Therefore, the emperor decided to exchange the Guan Di statue in Ouchi with the Guan Di statue in Qianmen Guandi Temple. People all over the world don't know all the details, except that the Guandi statue in the Guandi Temple in Qianmen was given by the emperor and was sincerely offered. There is an endless stream of people who pursue happiness and longevity and fame for their children. Here, "Guan Di Qian" is well known. "The first temple before Lingqian is still asking for help at Qianmen Temple". According to "Miscellaneous Notes on the Ruling and Opposition since Daoxian County", "Tian Wen, Li Ruonong's assistant minister, will go to Beijing to try his best when Xianfeng fails in his studies, and pray at Zhengyangmen Guandi Temple. The signature is "The name is outside Sun Shan". I think I will fall behind this time. On the list, the scholar is the highest, and this sign is invalid. The first scholar was Sun Jiading, and the second was Sun Nianzu. Li had to explore flowers. After the second grandson went public, it was purely coincidental. " Such rumors are getting more and more bizarre, and "Guandi Sign" is famous. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, every time the temple was opened, there were more than 100 booths outside the temple, full of Taoist priests, holding sticks and receiving pilgrims. At the same time, give alms to good Taoist books, such as Guan's Sixty-four Horses and Guan's Bible of Yuan and Ming Dynasties. In the Qing dynasty, the first day and fifteenth day of the lunar calendar were opened one day each. According to the Qing Dynasty's "Ji Sheng at the Age of Emperor Jingdi", every year, "the inner gate of Zhengyang is opened on New Year's Eve to worship the inner city people; Crazy children open the west gate, and people outside the city look forward to it. " . During the temple fair, a temporary market was formed around the temple. In addition to incense sticks, the things sold are nothing more than "mascots" such as red paper fish, gold and silver paper treasures and velvet flowers, and there are several tricks. In order to catch up with the stalls of the Wuxian God of Wealth Temple outside Guang 'anmen tomorrow, the vendors closed their stalls at two or three in the afternoon. Guandi Temple is a Taoist temple.
