On this trip to Inner Mongolia, we also came to Jokhang Temple. Jokhang Temple, named Wuliang Temple in Chinese and Ikwei in Mongolian, means Jokhang Temple. It is located in front of Jokhang Temple in Yuquan District, Hohhot. Because there is a 2.5-meter-high pure silver Buddha statue in the temple.
Therefore, it has the reputation of "Silver Buddha Temple".
Jokhang Temple has many religious relics.
Silver Buddha, Dragon Carving, Murals
It can be called "the three wonders of Zhao". It is said that Kangxi lived here when he traveled through Inner Mongolia.
So the temple is dedicated to the ten thousand gold medals of Emperor Kangxi.
At the same time, the top of the hall was replaced by golden glazed tiles.
Jokhang Temple thus became the "Emperor Temple". Moreover, sourdrang queen, the empress of Kangxi era, was a Mongolian.
It also laid the foundation for the existence of this temple.
There are many murals and sculptures in Jokhang Temple.
Similar to the prayer wheel that Tibetans like to bring, every temple has it.
Visitors will turn around when they see the city (be sure to turn from left to right! )
Pray for your family and yourself.
The words "this is a paradise in the west" hung on a gate, which attracted many tourists to stop and take pictures. The word means that crossing this threshold is the West.
Because the font is written like a dragon and a phoenix.
At first glance, it looks like "walking in the west".
The main hall of Jokhang Temple is called Jade Buddha Hall.
Nature is the famous giant silver Buddha.
Silver Buddha covers gold.
It looks like he's glowing all over.
In the past, the pure silver white was out of sight. It is said that this is to slow down the oxidation rate of silver.
It is also a measure to protect the giant Buddha. Under the tall Buddha statue
The spirits of Xiao Zhuang, Shunzhi and Kangxi were enshrined at the same time.
The treatment is the same as the Buddha statue: butter lamps will not go out for many years.
Jokhang Temple has many cultural heritages.
But you need to observe carefully and look for it slowly.
But many don't understand. I am most interested in an Inner Mongolia fruit I met in Jokhang Temple. Not yet mature. It looks like a green apple, very attractive and lovely. It also has an interesting name, 123, hehe.
There is a lively old street next to Jokhang Temple.
It's called Old Street outside the Great Wall. When we walked out of Jokhang Temple,
It's full of sunshine. We collected many specialties in the old street, and then returned with a full load.
