He rushed into Miaoying Temple and took away the instruments and supplies. In the middle and late Qing dynasty, monks rented out side halls and open spaces, which gradually evolved into one of the famous temple fairs in Beijing. Every holiday season, people in Beijing have formed the custom of "going to the White Pagoda on August 8th". Miaoying Temple also has the custom of turning the pagoda, that is, on June 25th 10 every year, lamas turn around the white pagoda, chanting and playing music, and people watch it outside, rubbing shoulders and making a lively scene.
