The origin of Shijingshan

Let's talk about another folk saying. Let's listen to the exchange ~

Shijingshan is located in Shougang Hospital. Why Shijingshan? It is said that four apprentices of the Tang Dynasty passed by here, and the scriptures were wet by the rain. In desperation, they spread the books out on the hill in Shougang compound to dry. Shijingshan, formerly known as Shijingshan Wet Mountain, was named Shijingshan, from which Shijingshan came.

Beijing Daily said: "Peacock Cave in Shijingshan should be a Tibetan Sutra Cave." Li Xinle, Zhai Lianxue and Men Wen Xue of the Municipal Cultural Protection Association told reporters their conclusions.

According to textual research, Shijingshan of Shougang Hospital has nine names, such as Shijingshan and Wet Jingshan, which are called Shijingshan in the inscription preserved on the mountain for 400 years. These names coincide with Shijingshan.

Some people say that Peacock Cave is named after it looks like a peacock. In fact, the origin of the name Peacock Cave is related to Buddhism. The Peacock King is the protector of Buddhism, and this title is based on the hope that the protector will always bless the Tibetan scriptures. Peacock Cave in Shijingshan is halfway up the mountain, and the stone room is less than 20 square meters. The stone chamber looks strange and belongs to the type of King Kong Pagoda. "This layout structure shows that there are probably Tibetan scriptures below, as well as the underground palace of Famen Temple." Man Wen Xue told reporters. The most mysterious thing is the stone Buddha in the stone room, which obviously belongs to the Tang Dynasty style, but the finger of the stone Buddha points downward. Does this mean that the underground is the peacock cave that really collects scriptures?

Who dug a hole in Shijingshan to learn from it? Are these scriptures still well preserved? Three researchers told reporters that according to data, the Shijingshan Peacock Cave Scripture was carved by Liu, the envoy of Youzhou Lulong, but Liu's father and brother had a bad reputation, so he should have difficulty in keeping the Scripture. Coupled with the large-scale destruction of Buddha by Emperor Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, it is unlikely that the scriptures will be preserved. According to three researchers, some places in the sutra depository, such as Ma 'anshan Cave, Xiaoshijing in the west of Beijing and Dongyin in Lugouqiao, are all mentioned at the end of the Sutra of Buddha and Bodhisattva. Combined with the large-scale Tibetan scriptures in Yunju Temple in southwest Beijing, all these indicate that there should be a Tibetan scripture route in ancient Beijing. This remains to be verified by experts and scholars.
