Folk custom of Yanqing Temple Tower
A long time ago, a young man living near stalagmites led troops against the cruel rule of the imperial court and was suppressed by the imperial court. Later, epigenetics was deified by Lv Dongbin. The emperor was afraid that more people would revolt, so he decided to build a tower town near here. That tower is the tower of Yanqing Temple, and the young man is called "the emperor", which is the immortal who looks like the emperor in the temple. The story of "Emperor Wang of Yanqing Temple Tower Town" has been passed down to this day. Although it is not credible, it is intriguing-can the people's "rebellion" be suppressed by towers? The white walls and red eaves of the tower courtyard are antique. Stepping into the gate of Tayuan Mountain, a granite stone tablet stands in the lobby. It is like a heavy book, recording the history of Yanqing Temple Tower. The origin of the name

In the fourth year of the Northern Song Dynasty (AD 979), Master Daxing was ordered to study Buddhist scriptures in India. After ten years of cold and heat, I got eight classics and forty-nine relics (Buddha's teeth or bones), which were rewarded by the court. Handa vowed to build a tower to hide the relics. After various fund-raising, construction started in the second year of Xianping (AD 999) and was completed in the fifth year of Xianping (AD 1002). Because it is located at the foot of Yunlong Mountain, 50 miles west of Songyang County, it was originally named Yunlong Temple, and later named Yanqing Temple Tower after the stupa.
