How about Tanzhe Temple? Can you talk about it?

Tanzhe Temple has a history of 1700 years, and it is the oldest ancient temple in Beijing. Known as the folk proverb "Tanzhe Temple comes first, Beijing City comes last". The high mountain peaks block the cold current from the northwest, so the climate here is warm and humid. There are towering old trees and pagodas in the temple. The whole temple building is cleverly laid out according to the terrain, and the environment is extremely beautiful.

There is a traditional saying in old Beijing that there is Tanzhe Temple first, and then Beijing City. In fact, there is still Beijing City first, and then Tanzhe Temple. Because the traditional view is that Beijing is the capital, that is, after Tanzhe Temple, Beijing appeared as the capital.

Because of historical research, Beijing formed towns in the Western Zhou Dynasty. Tanzhe Temple was built in the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (AD 307). There are thousands of ginkgo trees and Er Qiao magnolia flowers in Tanzhe Temple, which are the two treasures of plants in Tanzhe Temple.

The two treasures of Tanzhe Temple are treasure pots: one is a big pot with a diameter of 4 meters and a depth of 2 meters. You can put 10 stone in porridge once, and it takes 16 hours to cook it once. During the disaster relief, the victims can receive porridge and rice here. Second, the stone fish: there is the Dragon King Hall on the west side of Guanyin Hall in Tanzhe Temple, and there is a stone fish on the front porch of the hall, which is 1.7 meters long and weighs 150 kg. It looks like copper, but it's actually a stone. It can make five sounds when you knock it. On holidays, the incense here is extremely strong, and rich people will come to compete for the first incense.
