Regarding the name of "Xilai", there are two kinds of sayings. One is that from the sky, the houses of the whole town have been arranged as a standard "West" word. The second saying is a legend, legendary Kangxi first year (1662 AD), Linxi River erupts in a flood that is not encountered in a hundred years. The wooden carving of the god of Guandi in the upper reaches of Zhangkuichang Guandi Temple rushed to the production field of Xilin Temple in Linxichang, and the abbot of Xilin Temple Jingci monk donated the production field of the temple, and the temple of Guandi was newly built in the stranding place of the god of Guandi. The general temple gates are north-south, only the west gates of Guandi Temple open to the west, there is no forgetting the meaning of Guandi from the west. In the year of Kangxi 34 (1696 AD), Li Shenwen, the county order of Lijiang County, visited Linxichang. He felt that there was more than one name in Linxichang, which was easy to be confused. Because the emperor Guan came from the west, he brought prosperity and hope here, borrowing the allusions of "Buddhist Faxilai" in Buddhist teachings. That is, Tang Xuanxuan took the meaning of the three-way scripture from the west, and changed Linxichang to the west. This is the history of "first about the emperor's temple, then there is the west".
