In the Han Dynasty, temples were the offices of imperial historians, such as the Imperial Historian Temple. These temples are also part of the central management organization. The ancient "temple" means "continuous", indicating that the rulers hope that the country will continue from generation to generation. After Buddhism was introduced into China, temples became places for people to learn and worship Buddhism. Baima Temple in Luoyang is the first Buddhist temple in China. Since the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there have been fewer and fewer temples as administrative departments, all of which have become Buddhist places.
"Temple" refers to the place where gods of heaven and earth were sacrificed in ancient China. The history of "temple" in China is longer than that of "temple". For example, the land temple is very mysterious because it borders on the mythical undead, while the land god, such as offering sacrifices to the emperor, is quite different from the existence of the temple. It can be said that one is to appease the survivors and the other is to appease the dead.
Later, with the change of people's beliefs and the development of science, many people don't believe in the existence of bodhisattvas, buddhas and ghosts, so we put "temple" and "temple" together, but we'd better know about it. After all, these two places have also inherited the civilization of China, which is of great help for modern people to learn ancient culture.
