Jixiang Temple was built in the Southern and Northern Dynasties and was awarded as an auspicious courtyard by imperial edict. Reconstruction or expansion in the seventh year of the Tang Dynasty. In Yuan Dynasty, Nie Shangshu rebuilt this temple and renamed it Nie Jia Temple. At that time, there was a tower, and the color of the tower was white, so it is still passed down as a white cloud today. Later, people called Nie Jia Temple Nie Jia Temple for short. However, according to the legend of the masses, "Nie, destroy" is homophonic, and "Nie Temple, Nie Temple, destroy the temple, destroy the temple" is taboo. Due to its name change, the temple gradually lost its monks and incense, so that it was not repaired for hundreds of years from the Yuan Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, and it was dilapidated and withered. Li Fangxiu, a poet in the late Qing Dynasty, wrote a poem: "It's hard to tell the difference between Yuan and Song Dynasties, but it's also an old story of floating pictures. The Buddha still has half a temple, and his ministers lost a grave. The bright moon was born in the inkstone pool, and the twilight cloud rose in the pavilion hall. I can only be happy now, I will say with emotion. "

According to records, before the Yuan Dynasty, Jixiang Temple was magnificent in architecture, with numerous steles and towering ancient trees, especially the White Pagoda, and the village next to it was named White Floating Map. Later, Nie Shangshu (anonymous) rebuilt the temple and renamed it Nie Jia Temple. Due to the name change and other reasons, the temple gradually became sparsely populated, the incense did not continue, and it was dilapidated and withered. In the autumn of A.D. 1997, Master Chang Huan came here and invested a lot of money to restore the temple with the help of goodwill from outside. Incense began to flourish, with more than 65,438+10,000 people coming here for sightseeing and worship Buddha every year. There are seven halls in the temple, such as Daxiong Hall, antique Round Hall, Tianwang Hall and East-West Liao Room. There are Buddha statues such as Tathagata, Maitreya Buddha, Manjusri Bodhisattva, King Puxiang Bodhisattva, the bronze statue of King Earth Zang and the bronze statue of the three sages in the West. The whole architectural design is patchy, unique in shape, antique and magnificent, which makes the Millennium temple glow with vitality again.
