Beijing Dongxinglong Temple relies on the ancient canal culture, imperial culture, and Buddhist culture. It is a famous ancient temple in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. It was later destroyed in the smoke of war by the Eight-Power Allied Forces. It once stood in the east of the imperial capital. Sitting and watching the prosperous vicissitudes of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, we welcomed the incense of Emperor Sui Yang, Emperor Kangxi, and Emperor Qianlong in indifference, but were helplessly destroyed by the Eight-Power Allied Forces. History disappeared like smoke, but the complex between it was the same as the original intention. , the perseverance of the Chinese nation, the tolerance and harmony of Buddhist culture, the exchange and integration of canal culture, Xinglong Temple beside the canal carries all these feelings, how to restore life to the cultural carrier building, and how to let future generations inherit the culture , this is what the elites of these times study and consider, and it is also the key point that project planning focuses on.

In the thirty years since China's reform and opening up, gold and silver have blossomed everywhere, factories and companies have reinforced concrete, and people are gradually far away from the green mountains, green waters, birds singing and fragrance of flowers that they depend on for survival. The national health is worrying, and the number of patients with depression has increased. There are new highs.

I believe that 2017 is a year of harvest. For the six years of persistent efforts of the crazy monk Master Guofeng in the eyes of the world, God will also favor one day. Xinglong Temple was also called Xinglong Temple in ancient times. This place relies on The canal wharf was built for prosperity in the north and south. It was famous as the first stop for emperors of the Ming and Qing Dynasties to patrol. Dragons are born from water and are raised by water. They are descendants of dragons in the Chinese nation. The prosperity of the imperial capital is inseparable from the dragon's veins and dragon's prosperity, and abundant rain. Canals thrive.

Xinglong Temple is located between the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal and Chaobai River. There is an ancient pearl temple between the two rivers. It has the meaning of dragon and phoenix playing with pearls. In the land of Yanjiao, there is a mystery in ancient times. Yan is a phoenix, and a dragon is a dragon. It is a dragon, and the place of Yanjiao is a place where dragon and phoenix merge into one, which is a metaphor for the phoenix and dragon spirit of the famous people here, Empress Dowager Xiao and Emperor Zhao Kuangyin. According to the research of historical experts and Feng Shui scholars, these two people have a long history with the land of Yan and Zhao. "Empress Dowager Xiao" "Refers to Wu Zetian of the Liao Dynasty. Empress Dowager Xiao's nickname was Yan Yan. Her mother was the princess of the Yan Kingdom. During the Liao and Song Dynasty wars, she launched a protracted war with the Zhao Dynasty. The land of Yan was a battleground. Once she led an army to fight. During the Northern Song Dynasty, when Yan was encamped in what is now Beijing, there was a shortage of water. The guards searched for water for a long time and finally found a river. After drinking the water, Empress Dowager Xiao praised the sweetness of the water and asked about the name of the water. The officer reported that it was an unknown river, so she issued an edict to name it after her. Today, the river basin is the Yanjiao section of the canal on the side of Xinglong Temple. Queen Mother Xiao River. The land of Yanjiao was named Yanjiao because Empress Dowager Xiao finally won the victory and won the land of Yan. During her reign, because Xinglong Temple was popular and popular, she further expanded Xinglong Temple.

The canal connects the north and the south. This great human project can be traced back to the Sui Dynasty. In order to solve the problem of Goguryeo and to integrate the food products of the north and the south, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty dug and opened the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to go to Goguryeo. The soldiers of today's Korea gather from Beijing. They burn incense in this temple before each expedition to pray for safety and success. For this reason, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty expanded the Xinglong Temple. Because of the attention of the emperors of the past, the Xinglong Temple protected the longevity of the canal basin through the ages. Prosperous and everlasting, it protects the prosperity and peace of the people and protects the prosperity and tranquility of the imperial capital.

During the Yuan Dynasty, canal culture reached an unprecedented level of prosperity. Rich products from the south were transported to Beijing through the canal, and the logistics terminal was near Yanjiao. For a time, Tianbao of things and Menghua of Tokyo were all in the city. It reappeared in Dadu, and Marco Polo's travels recorded it all very well. During the prosperous period of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Xinglong Temple was prosperous, with emperors, dignitaries, and tourists coming in droves.

The fortunes of the past 600 years are changing, and the fortune of the king and imperial capital in the past 600 years lies in the Beijing area. The big idea and big strategy of integrated coordinated development of Beijing, Tianjin and Yi will definitely affect the development of Yanjiao, and Yanjiao will usher in new opportunities.

At the spring dawn in Yanjiao, the dragon raises its head, which means that the infinitely beautiful spring will belong to this beautiful place. We have reason to believe that it is of great significance for the Dragon Journey to visit Xinglong Temple (Xinglong Temple) before the dragon raises its head. The sky is open, the sky is blue and white clouds are bright, the sun is shining, the spring is endless, and hope is in the world.
