Jietai Temple, also known as manjuji, is located at the foot of Ma 'anshan in Mentougou District, the western suburb of Beijing, 8 kilometers away from Tanzhe Temple and 35 kilometers away from the urban area. Because there is a nationally famous Jietai Temple in the temple, which has a history of 1300 years, it is generally called Jietai Temple or Tan Jie Temple.

Jietai Temple has a long history. According to the existing inscriptions and related documents in the temple, the original name of the temple was Huiju Temple, which was founded in Wude, Tang Gaozu in 622. This is a secluded place known as Zen master, who was famous for his abstinence at that time. During the reign of Daozong Qingning in Liao Dynasty, a famous monk Fajun, who was praised as the spirit of Central Pu Xian at home and abroad, came to this mountain to live in seclusion. Liao Xianyong five years (1069), was called to help Lu Jintai and Wu Song enter the winter. He founded the Bodhisattva altar on the left side of the temple, which was four people wide and lasted for thousands of years. At that time, not only people under the jurisdiction of the Liao Dynasty came here, but also many people came here to be ordained in the Southern Song Dynasty. Daozong told him that he kept the bodhisattva ring for Dr. Lu Chong, and praised him for relaxing thousands of feet at the peak of his trip and cleaning up the heavenly heart and the moon. At that time, the monk French army was invited to preach everywhere. Wherever he went, literati blocked roads, aiming to stop farming, forget hunger and quench thirst, and countless disciples were disciplined.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the monk in this temple was Elder Yue Quan. The inscription with the title "Preface to the Elder Tower of Yue Quan New Palace in Ma 'anshan Huiju Temple" was built in the 28th year of Yuan Dynasty (1368). This paper records the repair of the temple by Yue Quan. Because of the discoloration of Yunshan, the new sound of the bell and drum tower is graceful both inside and outside, and it is suitable for both distance and distance, and it will eventually pay off. In the past three to five years, increasing industries, cutting mountains, breaking walls and destroying houses are nothing more than helping Chu. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the temple halls and altars were destroyed by soldiers.

During the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, Ruan Jian, the eunuch of Li Si, used the gold coins given by the emperor to buy materials, and made the main hall obedient. There were about sixteen arhats, four kings halls outside, THE TEMPLE OF JIALAN halls on the left, ancestral temples on the right, things and things, a performance hall outside, and monks' houses, pavilions and libraries. Master Zhihuan personally presided over the renovation project, which started in the ninth year of Xuande (1434) and was completed in the fifth year of Zhengtong (1440). After the completion, Li Si eunuch Wang Zhen asked him to change his name, and Emperor Yingzong gave him the name manjuji.

The monk who presided over the reconstruction project, surnamed Liu and Daofu, was highly valued by Ming Yingzong. When Yingzong summoned him, he saw his forehead protruding and called him a phoenix-headed monk, but said that he dared not climb the dragon and attach a phoenix, calling himself a goose-headed monk. He was named the altar master of the left lecture and longevity ring of the Zen master recording department. In the process of rebuilding the temple, I learned about the illusion and the monk shoveling his face, so I began to rebuild. Thousands of monks and servants were scattered and thousands of monks were chosen to serve Dong. When the craftsmen knew what they were doing, they returned to their hands to prevent the rain from falling, but they learned that they were eager to decorate the temple and their sculptures and paintings were extremely poor.

In the Qing Dynasty, the famous monk here was Uterus Zhe, who lived here for more than forty years from the reign of Kangxi. According to the literature, this temple had an overhaul record in the late Qing Dynasty. Only in the 17th year of Guangxu (l89 1), the Luohantang, Thousand Buddha Pavilion and Gong Bei (Peony Garden) were slightly renovated at the expense of Prince Gong. In addition, as can be seen from the inscriptions, there are many non-governmental organizations, such as Tibet Society, Sanyuan Great Compassion Society, Great Compassion Society, Guangyimi Society, and Five Treasures Society. Moreover, some small temples have been built in the temple, such as the Temple of God of Wealth, the Temple of Empress, the Temple of Lords and the Temple of Tibetan, which makes some non-Buddhist temples appear in this Buddhist temple.

After 1949, Jietai Temple stopped Buddhist activities and was managed by Beijing Municipal Bureau of Landscape Architecture and opened as a park. After 1966, due to the need of wood for the repair of the Temple of Heaven, the Thousand Buddha Pavilion was demolished and most of the Buddha statues in the temple were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. Since 1980s, the temple has been reopened after major repairs, and Beijing Sculpture Factory has reshaped a number of Buddha statues.

Jietai Temple, east-west, is built on a gentle slope at the foot of the mountain. The main hall is built along two east-west axes. A group of big bears live in front of the south, rising gradually from the low place. A group of street electricity live on the north side, all built on high platforms. There are many courtyards around the hall. There are exquisite stacked stones, lush ancient pines and cypresses, ancient pagodas and ancient monuments, and the mountain flowers flow in spring, which is particularly beautiful. The trees in the temple were famous as early as the Ming Dynasty. As the poem says, Tan Zhe wins by spring, while Jie Tai wins by song Ming. A tree has a state and competes with creation. There are famous pine, Wolong pine, Jiulong pine and rare movable pine. Just pull a pine branch and the branches and leaves of the whole tree will shake with it, as if a strong wind is coming. The activity pine was famous more than 200 years ago. Emperor Qianlong left a small stone tablet here with the theme of activity pine poetry. Jietai Temple is also famous for its pine trees. Part of Gu Song Cooper in the temple was planted in Liao and Jin Dynasties. The branches of pine trees are strange, and they can sit and lie. The ancients used to climb trees to build nests and drink, leaving many sentences chanting pine trees. For example, there are two clouds in the poem "Song of Activities" by Qianlong: The old stem is hundreds of feet long, so why should the branches shake themselves? Duh, it is wrong to pat its collar, and it is a little move. Shake the side branches with the old cadres, and the mountain monks hold them to show people's surprise. A thousand voices answered in the empty valley, and I asked the avatar what he had done. These two poems were carved on a short round-headed tablet and now stand beside the movable pine tree. In addition to the unique features of Gu Song Cooper, other plants such as green peony, Taiping flower, ginkgo and Tanchun are also precious tree species in the temple. Zhu Zongji's poem "Ci Tan Guan Song": The precious tree leans against the sunny peak, and the moon shadow is heavy. Storks with deep leaves; Branches are always a dragon. Fu Dian Chun Yin He; Shuang Ling has a strong emerald color. ..... more vivid.
