History of stone temple

According to legend, one year Kangxi came to Mulan paddock to hold Autumn Festival. All of a sudden, dark clouds rolling, lightning and thunder, torrential rain pouring down Nanchang. At this time, the servant asked Kangxi to come back. Kangxi said: "can't go, not to mention the rainstorm, even under the red rain can't go back!" As soon as the voice falls, the wind stops and the rain stops. After a while, the black cloud like ink turned into ochre red, and it really began to rain. Kangxi was a little surprised, and he said to himself, "is it a God who shows his holiness?" At this time, a three legged toad jumped out of the road and nodded to Kangxi. Kangxi quickly dismounted, bowed to the Golden Toad and said, "don't worry, master toad, since you have come to seek the seal, I will seal your" Saibei Buddha ". With that, the clouds are scattered and the sky is washed. With this kind of legend, the Buddha Stone Temple in northern Saibei has become famous in Bashang area. Passers-by and salt carrying chariots and camel caravans used to come here to burn incense and pay homage for the blessing of the Buddha.

In fact, this is just a legend of people. The establishment of the Buddhist stone temple in the northern part of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the great wall of the Great Wall. Kangxi was the third generation emperor after Qing Dynasty entered the pass. He had great ambition, foresight, and excellent literary and martial arts skills. In his life, he removed aobai, pacified the rebellion of San Francisco, recovered Taiwan, signed the Treaty of nebuchu, and personally fought for Galdan. In order to "learn from wusuifan", Mulan paddock was set up and Mulan Autumn Festival was held. After calming down the kardan rebellion, a Duolun alliance was held in Mulan paddock to give preferential treatment to the displaced people of various Mongolian tribes, which made the Mongolian princes feel very grateful. They called it "benevolent and lofty, nurturing the masses, and giving great benefits to the people as Buddha.". I hope that I can meet the living Buddha. " Thus, the Mongols respected Kangxi as a living Buddha.

At the same time, Emperor Kangxi used both kindness and authority. After the alliance, he held the autumn festival. Emperor Kangxi mounted and shot nine of them with ten arrows. Then he ordered artillery camp, shotgun camp and Gubeikou green camp to fire at the same time. Kangxi said with a smile, "it's just that Sher and other soldiers are willing to listen."

Therefore, the appearance of Hanbei Buddha in Qing Dynasty clothing in Mulan paddock is not only the result of Kangxi's strategy of "learning from Wu and suifan", but also the symbol of national unity in Qing Dynasty. As a part of Emperor Kangxi's history, Saibei Buddha was carved on Saihanba and commented by the world.
