Why is Baipu Temple called Evil Temple?

Baipu Temple is not called Evil Temple. Baipu Temple is an ancient temple in Liao Dynasty, which was built in the early years of Liao Dynasty. It is a cultural relic protection unit in Mentougou District, Beijing. It is located under jincheng mountain in the north of Baiyu Village, Yanchi Town, Mentougou District. In the early years of Liao Dynasty, believers in Changping, Yu He, Fanshan and Huailai raised funds to build Buddhist temples on the spot. Originally known as Baipuyuan, it was later changed to Baipu Shoufeng Temple, commonly known as Baipu.

In the heyday of Baipu Temple, there were as many as 100 monks, and the main hall was dedicated to one of the only 2,000 buddhas in China. The big copper bell in the bell tower is about 1.5 meters in diameter, including a town water tower, a pharmacist tower and a bowl-covered cornice tower.

In the early years of the Republic of China, a warlord valued Baipu Temple as a treasure trove of geomantic omen and wanted to move his ancestral grave here. He led his army to destroy Baipu Temple. The villagers in Baiyu Village, the nearest to Linbai Waterfall Temple, are eager to build Baipu Temple, but Baipu Temple is far less huge than the previous Baipu Temple, just a three-in-one quadrangle.

Now, Baipu Temple passes through the mountain gate and along the mountain steps, there are Tianwang Hall, two-level residence, bell tower, drum tower, living room and French logistics communication office.
