In the third year of Yongzheng (1725), the palace was changed into a palace, which was called the Lama Temple. In the thirteenth year of Yongzheng (1735), Yongzheng died, and the fulcrum once stopped here.

The origin of burning incense and praying for blessings during the Spring Festival;
As the most lively traditional festival in China, the Spring Festival has a history of more than 4,000 years. There are many theories about the origin of burning incense in the Spring Festival, that is, burning incense on the head during the Spring Festival, but it is generally believed that the Spring Festival began in Yu Shun. One day more than 2000 BC, Shun became emperor and led his men to worship heaven and earth. After Buddhism was introduced into China from India, the custom of burning incense in the Spring Festival gradually took shape. Since then, people have regarded this day as the beginning of a year. It is said that this is the origin of the Lunar New Year, which was later called the Spring Festival. Burning incense in the New Year means burning incense on your head. After midnight of the Spring Festival, at the time of opening, every household burns incense, worships God, worships ancestors first, welcomes the New Year, and avoids disasters. It is a ceremony from the boss to the nine worships, which is extremely sincere.
Matters needing attention in temple tourism:
Famous temples are widely distributed and are the focus of tourists' visit. However, tourists should keep in mind four taboos when visiting temples to avoid disputes and unhappiness.
First of all, avoid inappropriate names. Monks and Taoists in temples should be called "masters" or "masters", and the monks in charge should be called "elders", "abbots" and "Zen masters". The monks in the Lama Temple called him "Lama", which means "guru". It is forbidden to call him "monk", "monk" or even other insulting names.
Second, avoid improper behavior. The common way to see a monk is to put your hands together and bend your head slightly, or put one hand on your chest and your head slightly lower. Avoid shaking hands, hugging and touching monks.
Don't say anything inappropriate about monks and Taoists. Don't mention the words killing, getting married and eating red meat, so as not to arouse the dislike of monks.
4. Avoid misconduct. Travel to the temple, don't make noise, don't comment, don't say anything ridiculous, don't walk around or touch things in the temple. In particular, it is forbidden to scratch statues. In Buddhist activities, you should stand or leave quietly.
