The origin of yingmenglou

When he went to the temple with his father, he saw the monk Zhenchang, the official's clothes, the book he wrote, the end of the poem, and the verse he sang. When he learned that it was in line with the dream, he was surprised and thought it was strange. Then he built a few acres of paddy fields to help monks build buildings and bridges, and remember their affairs personally. This is the origin of yingmenglou. He also said that in a few years, the monk really passed away, and Chunyu became an official in Zhenguan. He was appointed as a transit envoy, and all his dreams were fulfilled. The story has been passed on with great fanfare. As a result, people trekked hundreds of miles away to ask God to answer the dream. Some people simply lived in the yingmeng building. The carved wooden Kang really made people have many good dreams.

Legend and experience

There is another legend about Huijian temple. In the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (713 AD), there was a peasant woman in Guanghan who gave birth to a child. When she went down to the ground, her fists could not be clenched. When a monk from the wandering side saw it, he opened his hands. In the palm of his hand, there was a word "wave" on the left and "Lun" on the right, so it was named Bolun.

Later, he became a monk and was known as Bolun Zen master. Li Longji, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, heard about the incident and summoned him to Chang'an, where he gave him a golden sword and a precious bowl. Zen master Bolun showed his magic power and threw the golden sword into the air. After circling around Chang'an City for a week, the sword flew back to Shifang ahead of him and inserted into the mouth of the second Hall in the temple. Huijian is a Buddhist mantra. The emperor really gave a sword, and Bolun was so powerful. It's better to take Huijian as the name of the temple. As a result, Huijian Temple became famous, burning incense and worshiping Buddha.

The portraits of Song Dynasty in Huijian temple and 500 Arhats painted by experts in Ming Dynasty. In the "red August", those precious ancient murals were completely destroyed by mortar.
