Traveling is about listening to stories. Did you know that Kangxi was bullied while eating at Dazhao Yueminglou?

To the west of Dazhao Square, there is the famous Yueming Tower. The plaque was inscribed by Emperor Kangxi!

According to legend, Emperor Kangxi once passed through Guihua City when he was marching westward to Galdan. In order to understand the sentiments of the people, he paid a private visit to Yueming Tower for dinner.

The store is opened by a bully named An Santai who specializes in bullying and killing out-of-town customers.

He saw Emperor Kangxi dressed in luxurious clothes and became evil-minded. After Emperor Kangxi finished his meal, he blackmailed Kangxi into asking for a "sky-high price meal".

At that time, Kangxi was very embarrassed because he didn't have enough money, so the shopkeeper yelled harsh words and ordered the clerk to take off Kangxi's mink coat to pay for the money.

At this time, there was a kind-hearted clerk named Liu San. He saw that Kangxi was a foreigner and was being besieged, insulted, and bullied by everyone, so he begged the shopkeeper for mercy.

The shop owner took the opportunity to blackmail and asked Liu San to use his one year's wages to settle the bill for Kangxi. Liu San knew that the shop owner was trying to embarrass him, but he still agreed, thus relieving Kangxi.

Later, Kangxi and Liu San became brothers, and issued an order to severely punish the bully An Santai, and made Liu San the owner of Yueminglou.

Kangxi also personally inscribed a plaque for Yueming Tower and gave it an imperial couplet: "It is famous three thousand miles beyond the Great Wall, and its flavor can overwhelm the Twelve Towers in the South of the Yangtze River."

It is said that from then on, due to Kangxi's imperial inscriptions and Liu San's honest management, Yueming Tower's business became better and better, and it became the most famous teahouse and theater in the neighborhood.

This story was narrated by the tour guide when I visited Dazhao Temple. It was a scene on a mural, and the characters all had real names.

The commentator’s emotional stories were very touching. There are kind-hearted people everywhere from ancient times to the present!

To the north of Yueming Tower is Dazhao Temple, which contains extremely rich collections. The silver Buddha, dragon carvings and murals have become the "three wonders" of Dazhao Temple. They are historical relics of the Ming Dynasty and have extremely high craftsmanship and ornamental value.

Dazhao Temple has exquisite architecture and is currently the most complete and influential temple in Hohhot and even Inner Mongolia.

If you have the opportunity to travel to Hohhot, you must visit Dazhao Square, the internet celebrity check-in place.

Dazhao Temple is not only a Buddhist holy place, but also a famous tourist attraction at home and abroad.

Visiting here will definitely feast your eyes and feel the rich historical and cultural atmosphere!
