The resident Xilinhot City also has a Tibetan Buddhist temple, the Beizi Temple, and the Han Dynasty Chongshan Temple. It was built in the Qing Dynasty and has been operated by the Seventh-generation Living Buddha. It has become one of the four famous temples in Inner Mongolia. Inner Mongolia believes that Tibetan Buddhism has a history of more than 1,300 years. From the time of Genghis Khan, Tibetan Buddhism appeared in Inner Mongolia, and it was promoted during the Kublai Khan period. It has become a national policy in the Qing Dynasty. The first is the marriage of Manchu and Mongolia. The emperor will marry the princess of the Mongolian tribe. Like Da Yuer, Hailanzhu will be the emperor, and the Princess of the Manchu will be married to Mongolia. The second is to abolish the shaman and believe in Tibetan Buddhism. Many people have expressed doubts about why this reform is actually for the people to obey their own rule. Because the shaman believes in nature, has no place for religion, and is inconvenient to rule, reforms will be implemented from the Yuan Dynasty. However, the Beizi Temple seen today is much smaller than the heyday. It is said that half of the cities in Xilinhot were Beizi Temple. The biggest destruction in modern times was during the Cultural Revolution. The row of beasts on the corner not only has the triple function of auspiciousness, decorative beauty and protection of the building, but also shows the status of the building. There are 10 beasts in the corner of the Palace Hall of the Forbidden City. There are only 9 in the Qing Palace. There are only 7 left in the Kunning Palace. It is rare to see 5, so it is important.
