Jiming Temple in Jiangsu

"Jiming Temple was built in the first year of Yongkang in the Western Jin Dynasty (300 years). It was originally Qixuan Temple in the Wu Dynasty. In the first year of Datong (527) of Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasties, it was expanded to Tongtai Temple, becoming the first royal temple in China to" sacrifice its life as a monk." The unique value of Jiming Temple is that it is always in multiple tension fields: The relationship between politics and religion: From Emperor Wu of the Liang Dynasty "Emperor Bodhisattva" to contemporary religious autonomy, it reflects the evolutionary logic of the relationship between politics and religion in China. Co-construction of elegance and vulgarity: Buddhist research and marriage divination coexist, demonstrating the flexible survival wisdom of religion in civil society. Traditional regeneration: The night LED lighting of the Pharmacist Pagoda has both ancient charm and modernity, symbolizing the digital transformation of traditional culture. When tourists sip tea under the thousand-year-old ginkgo trees in Pilu Temple, what rises and falls in the cup is not only Yuhua tea, but also the Zen meaning accumulated in 1700 years of civilization. This temple has long surpassed the category of a religious site and has become a gene bank that decodes the spiritual history of China. "
