Wild Goose Pagoda and Xuanzang:

Daxiong Hall is the most famous and magnificent Buddhist temple in Chang 'an in Tang Dynasty. It was built by royal decree in the Tang Dynasty, and it was built under the patronage of the royal family. It has a prominent position and a grand scale. Xuanzang was the first abbot of DaKeats and was honored as "Sanzang".

Xuanzang and Tang Zhenguan set out from Chang 'an in the third year (629) to study in the Western Regions. He rode alone on the "Silk Road" and overcame many difficulties and obstacles. After three years of arduous trekking, Vandory finally reached Tianzhu, a Buddhist holy place, and studied at the famous Nalanduo Temple.

After that, he spent five years in Tianzhu Buddha country and traveled all over India. When I returned to Nalanduo Temple, I was already a lecturer in this highest Buddhist institution, second only to the mentor and sage.

In the 19th year of Tang Zhenguan (645), Xuanzang returned to Chang 'an with 657 scriptures, 8 Buddha statues and a large number of Buddhist relics. In the 23rd year of Zhenguan (649), Daiyuji was completed, and Xuanzang was appointed as the first temple director to build the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, which was used to collect Buddhist relics, Buddha statues and scriptures brought back from Tianzhu, and devoted himself to the translation of Buddhist scriptures.
