Xingjiao Temple, also known as "Protecting the Country and Xingjiao Temple", is located on the bank of Shaoling in Fan Chuan, Xi 'an, where Master Xuanzang, a famous monk in the Tang Dynasty, was buried. After returning from India, Xuanzang translated scriptures in Hongfu Temple, Jionji, Ximing Temple and Yuhua Palace in yijun county. In the first year of Tang Linde (664), he died in Yuhua Palace on the fifth day of February, and was buried in Bailuyuan on the east bank of Chang 'an River. In the second year of General Chapter (669), he was moved to Shaolingyuan and built a brick tower. The following year, a temple was established in the location of the Tayuan, and it was named "Datang Protecting the Country and Promoting Education Temple". Li Heng, a Tang Suzong, came here to pay his respects and said, "Promoting Education". Shortly after the temple was built, it was once deserted. It was repaired once in the second year of Tang Dahe (828). After the Tang Dynasty, he was repeatedly killed by soldiers. During the Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, many monasteries were burned by soldiers and fires. At present, there are three mountain gates in the temple, which stand on the original bank. The doorsteps are inscribed with nine characters: "Protecting the country and promoting the temple" and "Fa" and "Solemn". The bells and drums in the doorsteps face each other on the second floor. The front hall of the main courtyard is the Hall of Great Heroes, and the back hall is the Dharma Hall. On both sides of the main courtyard, there is a courtyard. In the west, it says, "Tower Courtyard" is the burial place of Xuanzang and his two disciples. It is called "Tibetan Sutra" in the east, and there is a Tibetan Sutra Building, which contains more than ten thousand volumes of Buddhist classics such as Tibetan Sutra, Continued Tibetan Sutra, Tripitaka Sutra, and several pieces of Baye Sutra and Pali. The temple is also dedicated to precious cultural relics such as white jade Buddha statues donated by India.
Master Xuanzang and his disciples looked around the stupa of Kui Ji and leaned over to see the statues in it. The environment in the temple is elegant, tree-lined and very beautiful.
