Yonghe Temple

Beijing Top 18 in Can't Miss Attractions

Beijing | The must-have royal temple / hc/ was the palace where Yongzheng lived before he was enthroned. Qianlong was also born here, and the folks called it "dragon and blessed land"

The Lama Temple is located in the northeast corner of Beijing, in the thirty-third year of Qing Emperor Kangxi (1694). Emperor Kangxi built a mansion here and gave him the Prince of Sizi, and he was called the Prince. In the third year of Yongzheng (1725), he changed the palace to the palace, and called the Lama Temple. In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng (1735), Yongzheng died and used to park the coffin. Therefore, the original green glazed tile of the main hall of the Lama Temple was changed to yellow glazed tile. Because the Emperor Qianlong was born here, the Lama Temple has two emperors and became a "dragon and blessed land", so the temple is a yellow tile red wall, the same specifications as the Forbidden City Palace. In the 9th year of Emperor Qianlong (1744), the Lama Temple was changed to the Lama Temple, and the Minister of the Prime Minister, Wang Dachen, managed the affairs of the palace. It can be said that the Lama Temple is the highest Buddhist temple in the middle and late Qing Dynasty.

There is a saying in old Beijing: "Men and the female red snail", said that the two temples in the capital for the most spiritual marriage, the men went to the Lama Temple, the girls went to Hongluo Temple. Today's Lama Temple bears countless wishes from the common people; and hundreds of years ago, it was an empire and a religious future. The emperors of Yongzheng and Qianlong were here to ascend to heaven; the Sixth Panchen Lama came here to open a new era of Tibetan Buddhism into the Central Plains; the thirteenth Dalai Lama here has religiously proved that Tibet is an inalienable territory of China. Kangxi thirty-three years (1694), the Lama Temple was built, and Kangxi gave it to the four brothers. Twenty-eight years later, the emperor collapsed. The successor is not the prince who has been in the past forty years, nor the three elder brothers who are proficient in history. They are not the famous eight elder brothers, but the four princes who grew up and are the "cold face king". He became the owner of the Forbidden City and sat on the dragon chair. But he was reluctant to give his father the house he gave him. Of course, the Lama Temple at that time was only a Baylor House, called the "King of the Prince." For this small and big home, Yongzheng is full of disappointment, even if he is in the Forbidden City, he is reluctant to give it to others. When he thinks about it, he divides his house into two parts, part of which is changed into the upper house of the Yellow Church (Gru School of Tibetan Buddhism), and part of it is his own palace. Qianlong succeeded to the Lama Temple.
