The only temple where love is spoken of

Pujiu Temple is located 3 kilometers east of the ancient city of Puzhou in Yongji City, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province, on the top of Emei Yuan. Pujiu Temple was founded during the Tang Dynasty under Empress Wu Zetian, originally named Xiyong Qingyuan, and is a Buddhist Zen monastery in all directions. The love story of 'Hongniang tying the red thread under the moon, Zhang Sheng cleverly meeting Cui Yingying' mentioned in Wang Shifu's 'The Romance of the Western Chamber' by Yuan Dynasty took place inside Pujiu Temple. The temple's halls, pavilions, galleries, and pagodas are built upon the plateau, rising step by step, giving a sense of grandeur, majesty, and elegance. Interspersed among them are 'Xixuan' where Zhang Sheng stayed, 'Lihua Deep Courtyard' where Cui Yingying's family lived, and 'Shuzhai Courtyard' where Zhang Sheng moved after the white horse resolved the siege. Behind the temple is a garden with undulating terrain, forming a lively garden. The rockery in the garden is precipitous as if cut, and the 'Oriole Language Pavilion' has flying eaves and upturned corners. A curved path like a magpie bridge stretches across the lotus pond, connecting pavilions and bridges, lakes, and mountains. Yingying's 'Moon Worship Platform' is hidden among green pines, cypresses, and thousands of bamboo poles. The Yingying Pagoda standing in the temple is not only simple in shape and spectacular, but also famous for its unique structure and clear echo effect. Visitors knock on the side of the pagoda with a stone, and the pagoda will emit a crisp and pleasant 'croak-croak' sound of a toad, which amazes visitors. This pagoda, along with the Echo Wall of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the Pagoda of Baolun Temple in Henan, and the 'Stone Qin' in the Dafo Temple in Tongnan District, Chongqing, is known as one of the four great echo buildings in China; together with the Shaking Head Pagoda in Shan State, Myanmar, the Music Tower in Sopron, Hungary, the Fragrance Tower in Marrakesh, Morocco, the Bell Tower in Paris, France, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, it is known as one of the six wonders of the world.

Pujiu Temple in Yongji, Shanxi

Pujiu Temple was first built during the period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, originally named Xiyongqing Court, and is a Buddhist temple of the Ten Directions. The love story of "Hongniang leading the red line under the moon, Zhang Sheng cleverly meeting Cui Yingying" mentioned in Wang Shipu's "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" during the Yuan Dynasty took place in Pujiu Temple. Since 1986, the newly restored Pujiu Temple, the layout of the temple buildings is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, and three axes: east, middle and west (the west axis is from the Tang Dynasty, the middle axis is from the Song and Jin Dynasties, and the east axis is from the Ming and Qing Dynasties), with a grand scale and unique style. From the top of the plateau to the bottom, the halls and pavilions, the corridors and Buddha pagodas, rely on the plateau to rise step by step, giving people a sense of majesty and elegance. In addition, the buildings closely related to the story of "The West Chamber": the "West Pavilion" where Zhang Sheng stayed, the "Pear Blossom Deep Courtyard" where Cui Yingying's family lived, and the "Study Courtyard" where Zhang Sheng moved after the white horse was relieved are interspersed among them. Behind the temple is a garden with lively terrain. The stacked rockery in the garden is as dangerous as cutting, and the double pavilions of the oriole are flying eaves. The curved path of the magpie bridge is horizontally erected on the lotus pond, and the pavilion and bridge are connected, and the lake and mountain are connected. Yingying's "Moon Worship Platform" is hidden among the green pines and cypresses and thousands of bamboo poles. The Yingying Tower standing in the temple is not only simple in shape and spectacular, but also famous for its unique structure and obvious echo effect. Tourists will knock on the side of the tower with a stone, and the tower will make a crisp and pleasant "croak-" "croak-" frog call, which is amazing. According to the local chronicles, it is called "Pujiu Toad Sound", which is one of the eight scenes of Yongji in ancient times. Due to the publication of "The West Chamber", the "Buddhist Temple without Over the World" Pujiu Temple became famous, and the relic tower in the temple was also renamed "Yingying Tower" and became famous. And the beautiful and moving love story has been shaking people's hearts for thousands of years. It is the place where the story of the famous Chinese historical drama "The West Chamber" took place. There is a square brick tower in the temple, originally named Relic Tower, commonly known as Yingying Tower. This tower, together with the Echo Wall of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the Tower of Baolun Temple in Henan, and the "Stone Qin" in the Big Buddha Temple in Tongnan District, Chongqing, are known as the four major echo buildings in China; and the Shaking Head Tower in Shan State, Myanmar, the Music Tower in Solnok, Hungary, the Incense Tower in Marrakesh, Morocco, the Bell Tower in Paris, France, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, are known as the six major wonders of the world. The heart makes it a famous tourist attraction.

This ancient temple has a well-known love story

Pujiu Temple: Founded in the Tang Dynasty. There is a well-known love story about this ancient temple, which took place in Yongji Pujiu Temple. Old lady Zheng, with her daughter Cui Yingying, son Huanlang, maid Hongniang, and the coffin of the former prime minister Cui, was on her way back to her hometown. They stayed temporarily in the west wing of Pujiu Temple. Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng, a poor scholar, fell in love at first sight in the temple. Zhang Sheng also lived in the temple for his exam preparation. At that time, the situation was chaotic, and the rebels surrounded Pujiu Temple and wanted to rob Cui Yingying as the wife of the village. The old lady had no choice but to promise 'whoever can repel the rebels and rescue them, she will marry her daughter to him, and even give a dowry'. Zhang Sheng wrote a letter to his friend, the White Horse General, who saved everyone. However, the old lady went back on her word and wanted to recognize each other as siblings. However, with the help of Hongniang, Zhang Sheng and Cui Yingying had already decided to spend their lives together and agreed to meet again after Zhang Sheng's exam. This is the story of 'The West Chamber'. I like Wang Shipu's ending of lovers finally getting together. Although the plot is a bit lacking in impact, there are already many tragic love stories, and it's also good to have a happy ending. Walking in Pujiu Temple, looking at Cui Yingying's former residence, Yingying Tower, etc., imagining that beautiful love story, is also very interesting.
