China·Beijing Zhihua Temple
Beijing Zhihua Temple is located at No. 5 Lumicang Hutong, Dongcheng District, Beijing. It is built according to the regulation of the "Garan Seven Halls" of a temple, and it is known as the largest Ming Dynasty wooden structure complex in Beijing. Zhihua Temple was founded in the eighth year of the Zhengtong era of the Ming Dynasty (1444), originally as the family temple of Wang Zhen, the eunuch in charge of the Imperial Household Department. During the reign of Emperor Yingzong, Wang Zhen, as the emperor's favorite courtier, monopolized the power of the court. Although he was a eunuch, he had considerable family wealth, which is why the family temple he built was extremely luxurious and magnificent. As a favored courtier of the emperor, and because Wang Zhen built the temple under the guise of being grateful for the emperor's grace, Emperor Yingzong bestowed the name 'Bao'en Zhihua Zen Temple'. Zhihua Temple is the most completely preserved Ming Dynasty wooden architectural complex in Beijing. Although the buildings in the temple have been repaired many times in later generations, they still retain the regulations from the early Ming Dynasty, especially the caisson ceiling inside the halls, which has significant historical and scientific value and provides an excellent example for the study of Ming Dynasty wooden architecture.
Beijing Zhihua Temple, every April, the courtyard is full of blooming pear blossoms, a sea of white, offering a spectacular view that attracts many citizens to visit.

Beijing CityWalk's 'Pear Blossom' Ceiling at 'Zhihua Temple'
Beijing has many lesser-known temples scattered and hidden deep within the hutongs. Although small, these temples contain a universe of their own, and Zhihua Temple is one of them.
Zhihua Temple is located at No. 5 Lumicang Hutong in Dongcheng District, Beijing, and was founded in 1444 during the Ming Dynasty.
Zhihua Temple is the most intact and largest Ming Dynasty temple existing in Beijing, renowned both at home and abroad for its exquisite ancient architecture, Buddhist art, and the ancient 'Beijing music'.
The two pear trees at Zhihua Temple have a long history; their trunks resemble the weathered elders, while their canopies are like huge umbrellas, sheltering people underneath from wind and rain. The blooming pear blossoms adorn the treetops, forming an enormous invincible umbrella.
The pear blossoms of Zhihua Temple, paired with the ancient architecture in the courtyard, seem to allow one to hear the sounds of history, to hear those forgotten voices in the river of time. It's a great spot for photography. The pear blossoms of Zhihua Temple, combined with the distant Galaxy SOHO, create another kind of scene. On one side is the ancient and lingering sound, and on the other is modern innovation, astonishing people with how harmoniously unified these scenes are.

The twenty-yuan ticket almost only allowed me to see two yuan's worth
I went to Zhizhu Temple because it is one of the first batch of cultural heritage sites in our country, located in a hutong on the East Second Ring, adjacent to Douban Hutong, the old home of 'Abei'.
Looking at the map, I really don't understand why a small eunuch family temple would charge me 20 yuan for admission (after all, the Summer Palace is also only 20), but there must be something extraordinary about it to be listed as one of the first batch of national cultural heritage sites.
When I went there, I specifically looked for a time with official commentary (2 p.m.), and the guide was very serious and meticulous. My friend and I, both laymen when it comes to history and ancient architecture, listened to the explanation of the three courtyards (out of a total of five, with the last two not open to the public) for a full two and a half hours. The guide unfolded the story from multiple perspectives such as history, architecture, and religion, which was very vivid. Without the commentary, I felt that the twenty-yuan ticket only showed me two yuan's worth.
1 For example, the golden-winged Garuda in the scripture repository, the structural mystery of the Thousand Character Classic prayer wheel; the gilded clay sculptures inside the Tathagata Hall, and the Wu-dian roof and black glazed tiles outside the Tathagata Hall are also worth seeing. There is also a stele without words but bestowed by imperial order (the reason is...)
2 Here you can also see caisson ceilings, but the largest one has already been exiled overseas...
3 There is a Beijing opera performance here (at 3 p.m.), a very unique experience, some intangible cultural heritage that almost drifted and got lost in the torrent of history
4 Because it is close to Galaxy SOHO, there are ancient and modern contrasting photo spots X2. One is inside the scenic area, with the Wanfo Pavilion in the foreground and Galaxy SOHO in the background; the other is outside the scenic area, with the hutong alley in the foreground and SOHO in the background. This time, all photos were taken with a mobile phone (iPhone for the elderly)
5 Spring is coming, and the pear blossoms at Zhizhu Temple are about to bloom, which should be even more beautiful then.

Zhihua Temple (the largest existing Ming Dynasty wooden structure group in Beijing)
Speaking of Zhihua Temple,
we have to mention Wang Zhen, the first generation of autocratic eunuch in the Ming Dynasty,
Wang Zhen is one of the four eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty,
his life was full of twists and turns and controversy.
Wang Zhen was originally an ordinary person,
with a family and wife and children,
he once participated in the imperial examination but failed.
So he took another path,
he served as a local education official for a long time,
and a small official with no significant achievements could enter the palace to serve.
After entering the palace, Wang Zhen quickly stood out,
he was loved by Emperor Xuanzong of Ming,
and was appointed as the Lang of the East Palace,
serving Prince Zhu Qizhen, who later became Emperor Yingzong.
After Xuanzong's death, Yingzong ascended the throne,
and promoted Wang Zhen to the position of Chief Eunuch of the Ministry of Rites.
Wang Zhen had no talent for governing the country,
but he was good at intrigue,
and harmed countless people during his autocratic period.
In 1449, under his instigation,
Yingzong personally led an expedition to Mongolia,
which led to his capture in the Tumu Crisis,
and Wang Zhen also died in the chaos.
Zhihua Temple was a private family temple built by Wang Zhen,
built in the ninth year of Ming Zhengtong (1444 AD)
Although it was a family temple,
it was given a name by Emperor Yingzong.
"Baoen Zhihua Zen Temple"
After Yingzong successfully restored his throne and ascended the throne for the second time,
he still remembered Wang Zhen,
and built a shrine for him in Zhihua Temple, erected a stele and wrote a biography for him,
and also specially granted a copy of the Great Buddhist Sutra and two scripture cabinets.
At its peak, Zhihua Temple covered an area of 20,000 square meters,
with five courtyards in front and back,
divided into east, middle and west routes,
it was a prominent large temple in the eastern part of the imperial city.
Today's Zhihua Temple,
the main buildings on the central axis are basically intact,
with four courtyards,
it is the largest Ming Dynasty wooden structure group in Beijing,
and it is also a pure land of Zen forest that gathers Buddhist arts such as statues, Buddhist scriptures, murals,
and music.
Zhihua Temple Beijing Music,
this is also rare in temples,
it originated from the court music of the Tang and Song Dynasties,
in 1446, it was introduced into Zhihua Temple from the Ming Dynasty court,
and has been passed down from generation to generation according to the method of oral instruction,
and has a history of nearly 600 years,
and has been passed down for 27 generations without interruption.
Zhihua Temple Beijing Music,
is the only music in our existing ancient music that has been passed down by generations,
it is the best preserved music to date,
and is known as the "living fossil of Chinese music".
The main feature is that wind instruments are the main instruments,
supplemented by cloud gongs, drums, chimes and other percussion instruments,
the melody is simple and elegant, deep and melodious,
and the traditional Chinese notation method of Gongche notation is used to write music.

Beijing | The temple with the most treasures, the private temple of a great eunuch from the Ming Dynasty
Travel through the long river of history, and encounter the early spring time at Zhihua Temple.
This is the largest Ming Dynasty wooden structure complex in the capital,
and also one of the treasure spots for viewing pear blossoms in spring.
Zhihua Temple, which was founded in the eighth year of the Zhengtong era of the Ming Dynasty (1443),
was originally the family temple of Wang Zhen, the Superintendent of the Imperial Household Eunuchs during the reign of Emperor Yingzong of Ming.
The famous 'Tumu Crisis' is closely related to him.
Zhihua Temple is not only famous for viewing pear blossoms in spring,
but also for the Beijing music that has been passed down since 1446.
It has a history of 560 years to date,
and is also a national-level intangible cultural heritage.
Strolling through the temple,
the occasional sound of ancient music, like the melody of history, transcends time and space, immersing one in its charm.
The Beijing music of Zhihua Temple retains the old Tang and Song dynasties' system in aspects such as repertoire, musical instruments, modal system, and performance methods.
It is the only genre of ancient music in China that has been passed down by generation and remains well-preserved to this day.
The characteristic of Zhihua Temple's Beijing music lies in its use of wind instruments as the main instruments.
The main instruments include the guanzi, flute, sheng, cloud gong, and drum.
Some pieces also require the addition of cymbals and other percussion instruments.
Among them,
Guanzi: Introduced to the Central Plains from the Western Regions, specifically the Kucha area (now Kuqa County, Xinjiang) over two thousand years ago.
Flute: The earliest existing flute is a bone flute unearthed in 1987 at Jiahu village in Wuyang County, Henan Province, which dates back over 8,000 years.
Sheng: The earliest musical instrument in the world to use free reeds.
Cloud Gong: Appeared in China during the Tang Dynasty and was widely used in court music, religious music, and folk music during the Song and Yuan dynasties.
