What is the architectural pattern of Manjuki?

Manjuji is one of the most famous ancient temples along the east-west long river, facing south, facing the long river in the south and Yanqing Temple in the east. The overall structure of Manjuji is well preserved, covering an area of 48 mu. The east-west layout is divided into three roads: Middle Road, East Road and West Road.

The main building is the middle road, and there are seven courtyards away from the mountain gate, which are symmetrically distributed on the axis. The buildings in the middle road include the Heavenly King Hall, the Life Hall, the Changshou Pavilion, the Great Zen Hall, the Guanyin, Manjusri and Pu Xian temples on the rockery, and the underground caves, the Imperial Monument Pavilion, the Infinite Life Buddha Hall and the Ten Thousand Buddhas Building. West Road is the Palace, and East Road is the Abbot.

Manjuji Mountain Gate is a rest mountain building, with three rooms wide, with brick carved walls on both sides, stone windows on both sides of the main hall of the gate, a stone tablet given by the Qing Shunzhi imperial government above the gate, and a hundred bats flying in the blue sky and white clouds on the top of the ticket. The homonym of the red bat is "Hongfu", which means "Hongfu Qitian" in the whole picture, in order to wish the people who enter the temple a blessing.

Brick carvings with walls and shadow walls on both sides of the mountain gate are rare works of art with fine composition.

The entrance is Tianwang Temple. There is an ancient pagoda tree on both sides of Tianwang Temple, the diameter of which exceeds 1 m.

The left bell tower and the right drum tower in front of the Tianwang Temple are heavy buildings on the top of the mountain. The Yongle Bell, known as "Zhong Wang", once hung here. In front of it, there are a pair of banners and a white marble pedestal.

Tianwang Temple is a building built on a mountain. It was built in Wanli period of Ming Dynasty and rebuilt in Qing Dynasty. It is three rooms wide. There used to be a statue of Maitreya Buddha and a statue of protector, with four statues of heavenly kings on both sides.

Daxiong Hall, also known as Da Yanshou Hall, is five rooms wide, with a treasure house on the top and the back eaves of the Ming room, supported by nine archways. The original inscription of "Returning to Japan for a Long Meeting" written by Yong Zhengdi in Qing Dynasty has disappeared. There is also the imperial book column of emperor Qianlong: with the light of warning, smoke everywhere;

Outside the cool world, the flower stone is as real as it is.

There are three Buddha statues in the temple, eighteen arhats on both sides and an inverted Guanyin clay sculpture. What is different is that there is also a Pilu Buddha in front of the III Buddha in the temple, also called the wishing Buddha. Pilufo is a three-body Buddha. The lotus of Buddha is Chiba Lotus, and there is a small Buddha on each lotus petal, which is the Buddha of Sakyamuni.

Legend has it that this Buddha statue was personally invited back by the emperor from India, the birthplace of Buddhism. Usually, after people make a wish to the Buddha, if their wish comes true, they should go to the temple where they make a wish, but this Buddha, known as the "wishing Buddha", doesn't need to make a wish, because the wish made to him will definitely come true.

Since the Buddha was invited back, it has been enshrined in Manjuji, and only the emperor is allowed to bow down and make a wish to him. The only "wishing Buddha" is enshrined in Manjuji.

There is a kind-hearted statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva behind Buddha III, which is called "Guanyin sitting backwards" because it faces north. There is also a legendary palace secret history about this Guanyin statue: Empress Dowager Cixi went to the Summer Palace and took Manjuji as her palace to rest here. In order to please Empress Dowager Cixi, the great eunuch Li designed this Guanyin statue and put it behind Buddha III, indicating that Empress Dowager Cixi would listen to politics. Li used this statue to compare Cixi to Guanyin Bodhisattva with great compassion. Guanyin's reverse sitting means "Guanyin has arrived".
