The origin of the temple's name

Zaxi qinkulin is the Tibetan name of Gongba temple, and its Chinese name should be "Wanshou Temple".

But in the process of writing in Chinese, the name of Tibetan temple "Gongba" and Chinese Temple "Gongba" are combined to form a meaningless name of "Gongba Temple", which is wrongly written in today's writing. In fact, this is a wrong writing. We should correct it and call it "Wanshou Temple" and return its original appearance. There is a historical basis for calling "Wanshou Temple". It was granted by Emperor Guangxu and the 60th birthday of the Empress Dowager. During the construction of Wanshou temple, all the generals, ministers, local civil and military officials and devout believers of the Qing Dynasty donated money. In a few years, the four academies were completed, and they were resplendent. Without the support of the Qing Dynasty, there was no cheba The power of the ditch itself is not enough, so the construction of Wanshou Temple shows the great kindness of the Qing Dynasty and the strategy of governing the country by education, and also attaches importance to the northwest region and the protection of gonggajianzan. This is not only history, but also in line with the fact that "a Lama Temple is worth 100000 soldiers" recorded in historical materials.
