What is Bajie Temple like? Why do you want to worship Zhu Bajie?

I believe everyone is familiar with China's Journey to the West. In this film and television drama, the four apprentices left a very deep impression on us. Of these four people, the role of Pig Bajie should be my least favorite. He is lazy, flinches when things happen, and is a good eater. The Monkey King's heroism is totally absent, but what people didn't expect is that there is also a temple dedicated to Pig Bajie in China.

Because of its particularity, this temple is also called the most "wonderful" temple in China. What is even more unexpected is that the incense of this temple has lasted for hundreds of years, and it is still very strong. It is really surprising that so many people go to worship and burn incense.

This temple is located in Banqiao, a small village in Nanshan City, China. The name of this village is also very interesting. It is called Gaolaozhuang, also called Xizhuang. The location of the story of Pig and Eight Rings in The Journey to the West. And the name of this temple is Bajie Temple. Judging from the photos, this temple can be said to be very simple and not very big. You can see a Buddha statue of Pig Bajie in the temple. To tell the truth, the gap between this Buddha statue and our imagination is really not very big. Standing in the center of the main hall with a nine-toothed rake in hand is very imposing.

This temple worships not only Pig and Pig, but also Bodhisattva. There is a lot of controversy about the establishment of this temple. Some people think that Zhu Bajie is the representative of the villain and should not be worshipped because of laziness, but others think that Zhu Bajie is a symbol of simplicity and honesty, and his humorous style deserves human worship.

Because of the existence of this temple, this village has also become a famous tourist attraction. Many people go here to worship Pig Bajie, and this temple holds grand temple fairs regularly every year. I have to say that the world is really full of wonders, and this scenic spot has quickly become popular. I don't know what you think.
