When is the best time to go to Jintian Taoist Temple?

The best time for Jintian Taoist temple: all seasons.

Jintian Taoist Temple is located in the east section of Xijin Road, Qilihe District. It was built in the second year of Mingwenjian (AD 1400). There is a statue of Lei Zu in the temple, also known as "Tan Lei", which is a holy place for Taoism to spread its scriptures in Lanzhou in the early years. In the past, the halls and pavilions of Jintian Taoist Temple were all worshipping, and the cloisters were quiet and melodious, dotted with pine, cypress, locust and elm. There is a Tan Lei in the middle, an altar shrine in the east, my shrine in the west and a garden in the northwest corner. Every year, the eighth day of the eighth lunar month is the Tan Lei Temple Fair. Now it is the Lanzhou Workers' Cultural Palace. According to records, there are 36 Tang Huai strains in Jintian Temple, which are called "36 thunder generals".

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were 3 species of Sophora japonica and 3 species of cypress, with the age of 65438 0.20 years. The tallest one, Tang Huai, is over 20 meters, and DBH is nearly 3 meters. 1956, Jintian Taoist temple was changed to Lanzhou Workers' Cultural Palace. There are more than ten inscriptions of Ming and Qing dynasties in the south of the courtyard. Among them, Princess Su Ming's "Double Blood Monument" moved from Xieyuan stands in the west corridor of the former Qing Er Hall.

In the 16th year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1643), Li Zicheng's Dashun General He Jin captured Lanzhou, and the last king of Soviet Dynasty Zhu Shi was captured. Princess Wang, Zhao, Gu, Tian and Yang led more than 200 imperial maids from Ningxi Garden to the Fuyun Building in the north wall, ready to throw themselves into the river from the north wall. At this time, the pursuer came, and Yan rushed to the poem tablet standing on the cloud floor, touched the tablet and died. The other concubines jumped off the wall, committed suicide and hanged themselves, all of them died. The local people collected the bodies of Wang Su's concubines, dug a grave in the garden and buried them all. Since then, a bowl of blood has been left on the monument of Wang Su's poems, which is very obvious when it rains or the weather changes.

In the 12th year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty (1873), when Zuo was the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, he saw this monument on Fuyun Tower, and suddenly he felt pity: one day he went north to the city and passed through the monument, and saw Liefei's head was broken, and blood was sprayed out, covered with blood. The sergeant told me that it was raining and wet, and its traces were getting brighter every day. Sincerely, the stone is also open and the feet are different.
