Cishan Temple in the Rain
A temple shrouded in rain and fog is like a fairyland.
The building complex of Cishan Temple is divided into five parts: Yuanshanmen, Dongfang Palace, Xiyuan (Buddhist Palace), Dongyuan (Taoist Palace), Houkuayuan and Dongshanpo. It has 24 halls and more than 1 houses. It is a temple integrating Taoism and Buddhism. It was built in the 15th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (1587), destroyed by fire and Cultural Revolution, and rebuilt in 198s.
This Lv Zu Temple was the place where Mr. Feng Yuxiang lived. The tree covered with yellow cloth is catalpa bungeana, which was planted by General Feng.
Catalpa bungeana is a rare tree in the temple, which blooms around March 15th of the lunar calendar every year. There is a folk saying that "Catalpa bungeana blooms and returns home with a blessing".
In the past, there were Guandi Temple, Land Temple and Zhenwu Temple everywhere among the people, among which Niangniang Temple was the most important and influential. Please pray for the protection of the Queen Mother and Goddess Guanyin. Niangniang Temple is commonly known, and its official name should be "Bixia Yuanjun Temple". In the old days, there were five famous Yuanjun temples of Bixia in Beijing, which were in the order of orientation: East, West, South, North and Middle, and were called "Top". Therefore, there is a saying that there are three mountains and five tops: Maizhuang Bridge, which is called the western top; Grass bridge, called zhongding; Outside Dongzhimen, it is called Dongding; Outside Andingmen, it is called Beiding. Among the Yuanjun Temple in Bixia, which is more famous than Wuding, there are the so-called "three mountains": Jinding in Miaofeng Mountain in the west of Beijing, Yaji Mountain in Pinggu, JD.COM, and Cishan Temple in Tiantai Mountain in Shijingshan.

In the center of the platform of the Hall of Great Compassion, there is an eye-catching stone plate called the Yangsundial, which was made in the fifty-fifth year of Qianlong, and the words "179" are engraved in the center of the dial. Why it's here is beyond question. Because few people come to the temple now, especially in this rainy winter.
