What is the relationship between "Kaicang Cat" and Japanese temple culture?

According to legend, during the Tang Dynasty, Japanese sent monks to China to exchange and study with the envoys of the Tang Dynasty. At the invitation of the Japanese Buddhist community, Jian Zhen went to Japan to teach Buddhist culture. Since it was to spread Buddhist culture, he naturally brought many Buddhist scriptures. At that time, there were even many Buddhist scriptures that were unique, that is to say, there was only one book and no second-hand goods. These Buddhist scriptures are more important.

It is inevitable that rats will run wild on the ship in the sea from the mainland to Japan. Everyone is smart, so it is natural to use its natural enemies to deal with mice. Is there anyone else on board? Tang Mao? Along the way, it was because of this kitten that Buddhist scriptures were able to travel safely across the ocean to Japan to spread Buddhist culture.

After arriving in Japan, the cat and Buddhist scriptures were put together in the main warehouse of Dongda Temple. Cats living in temples are influenced by Buddhism every day and supported by people together with Buddhist scriptures, so they are endowed with spirit and immortal image.

People began to believe that cats have the ability to guard, protect and bring good luck.

Moreover, because there were not many cats in Japan at that time, things were scarce and precious. At that time, they became pets that only the royal family could keep. They became lucky, lucky and transshipment, and were called: Zhengcang cats.

It is said that Tang Mao was very popular with the abbot when he lived in the main warehouse of Dongda Temple. The abbot named the cat? Fu? The love in my heart has been given to this kitten. As the abbot grew older, he suddenly fell ill. He realized that time was running out, and the only thing he couldn't let go was the cat.

When I was sick in bed, I kept praying for the cat, hoping that the cat could find a master who really loved it, and these words were heard by Fu who accompanied the abbot all night.

The next day, the magical abbot's body suddenly improved greatly, and he actually gradually became healthy. The abbot believes that cats are Buddhist and spiritual.
