On the west side of the South Qingshui River in Taihuai Town is Zhenhai Temple, which is located in Taihuai Town 10, with an altitude of 1600 meters. The temple is located in a treasure trove of geomantic omen, where two dragons play with pearls. The peaks on the left and right sides are like two dragons falling into the valley, hunched around and teetering around. The temple is built on a rocky mountain pass where two mountains are embracing each other, just like the orb of two dragons playing. There are ancient and tall pine trees in the gap of the mountain, walking on the path between pine forests and listening to the rustling wind, which gives people a feeling of promoting tranquility. Looking around the temple, the peaks in the south are covered with dense fir trees and poplars, and on the top of the mountain in the north, the Millennium Gu Song is among the rocks. This is a scenic spot of Wutai Mountain. The lush Gu Song Mountain Temple is rare in Wutai Mountain area.
According to legend, there used to be a sea eye at the foot of the mountain opposite Zhenhai Temple. Maybe at some point, the sea water gushed out, washed away the fields and flooded the villages. Manjusri Bodhisattva benefited all sentient beings, so she set up a stupa above the sea eye to stop the overflowing sea water. Later, a temple was built here, called Zhenhai Temple, and that tower was called Zhenhai Tower.
Zhenhai Temple is built on a steep stone pass, close to the front of the compound, with banners on the trees, lions squatting, the second floor of the mountain gate, Tianwang Hall and bells and drums. In the first month of the fiftieth anniversary of Kangxi in the temple, Yu Ming said: people who come to Zhenhai Temple are secluded at the intersection, which is the victory of Taiwan and Huai, the worship of the military temple, the Zen Hall, the Aoling District and the land of law. Zhenhai Temple covers an area of 16000 square meters, with 100 halls and buildings. The main building of the temple is a main hall. There are four heavenly kings on two walls of the Temple of the King, with Maitreya in the middle. There are three sitting buddhas in the middle hall, with aura and golden bodies on their backs. There is a seated Manjusri Bodhisattva in the middle of the back hall, with three golden statues sitting on the front side. There is a courtyard through the small door on the west side of the nave. There are 15 tomb towers of Zhangjia Living Buddha built in Qianlong 5 1 year. On the platform with a length of 7.9 meters, a width of 7 meters and a height of 1.3 meters, there is a stone tower more than 9 meters high and shaped like an algae bottle. The tower base is octagonal, each corner is shaped by Hercules, and the eight sides of the base are carved with figures and painted with colors. There are three sitting buddhas carved in the center of the tower belly and eight standing statues around. Above the bulging belly, there are minarets that shrink inward layer by layer. This tower is unique in shape and beautifully carved.
Zhang Jia's living Buddha is a Buddhist post in the Yellow Sect. Since Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, he has been honored as a national teacher by successive emperors. The living Buddha of Zhangjiadi 15 was named Rao Budajir and lived in Songzhu Temple in Beijing. Every summer, he comes to Wutai Mountain to spend the summer and sit quietly. He saw the beautiful scenery of Zhenhai Temple, where he often lived during his mountain tour. Later, he changed the table temple of Zhenhai Temple into a yellow temple. During the Qianlong period of Gil, Zhang Jiarao died of illness in Beijing, and his spiritual bones were transported to Zhenhai Temple to build a tomb tower. The Zhang family has lived in Zhenhai Temple for generations. The meeting spread to Zhangjia 19 Living Buddha, and Yuan Shikai appointed the leaders in charge of the Yellow Sect in Beijing, Xining and Wutai Mountain, and gave the cavalry great power. The Kuomintang government appointed him as a representative of the National Congress, praised him as a national teacher and an ambassador of the Northwest Mongolian Banner, set up a civil affairs office in Beijing and an administrative office in Zhenhai Temple, with only one battalion of cavalry. The living Buddha has a great influence in Wutai Mountain, and Zhenhai Temple also has a large number of manor houses. According to incomplete statistics in the 25 years of the Republic of China, the rent was as high as 80 thousand stone. Zhang's living Buddha, who exploited the people, was dissolute and ignorant, far away from Buddhist teachings, and was spurned by monks. After the July 7th Incident, I left Wutai Mountain for Nanjing, and then I went to Taiwan Province Province.
