introduce

Pujiu Temple is the place where the story of the famous historical drama "The Romance of the West Chamber" took place. The building of Pujiu Temple is majestic, "surrounded by red walls, towering ancient pagodas, and hidden in the green trees", the building is composed of two parts: the temple and the garden, roughly distributed on three axes. The buildings on the west axis include the Great Bell Tower, the Tower Courtyard Corridor, Yingying Tower, the Daxiong Palace, and the garden behind; Qianmen, Monk's House, Deadwood Hall, Zhaitang, Xiangji Kitchen, etc. According to legend, the garden is the Buddhist residence built by Cui Xiangguo in the Tang Dynasty, and the place where the old lady and Yingying lived in "The Story of the West Chamber". Behind the Yingying Pagoda is the Jingji Pavilion, and there are wing rooms on the east and west sides. The so-called "West Chamber Study" is the place where Zhang Sheng came to Pujiu Temple to spend the night when he visited Pudong in the legend. Passing through the West Wing Academy is Cuiju Bieyuan. Behind Cui Ju's other courtyard is a garden, where Cui Yingying and Zhang Sheng have a "tryst". In the garden, there are towering rockery, rippling lake water, small bridges and flying beams, halls and pavilions, red flowers and green trees everywhere, which makes some people reluctant to leave. The Yingying Pagoda standing in the temple, formerly known as the Relic Pagoda, is not only simple and magnificent in shape, but also has a unique structure, which is similar to the Echo Wall of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the Pagoda of Baolun Temple in Henan, and the "Shiqin" in the Great Buddha Temple in Tongnan County, Sichuan. , and known as the four existing echo buildings in our country; and the Shaking Tower in Shan State, the Music Tower in Szolnok in Hungary, the Incense Tower in Marax in Morocco, the Clock Tower in Paris, France, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. It is the world's six largest pagodas. Tourists hit the side of the tower with stones, and the tower will emit a crisp and pleasant animal cry of "haha~haha~", which amazes the tourists again and again. According to local chronicles, "Pujiu Toad Sound" is one of the eight scenic spots in Yongji in ancient times. Due to the publication of "The Romance of the West Chamber", the Pujiu Temple, which is "all Buddhist temples in the world have no faults", became famous, and the stupa in the temple was also renamed "Yingying Pagoda" and became famous far and wide. The beautiful and moving love story has been shaking people's hearts for thousands of years, making it a tourist destination for civilizations at home and abroad.
