Shaxixingjiao Temple Review

Xingjiao Temple is opposite the ancient stage, no tickets are charged, and the park is closed at 17:00. Overall, the state of this temple is not well operated, the huge rice is shaded, the ancient wooden buildings are very charming, and the faded murals on the walls are also full of mystery, and you can taste it carefully.

The ancient town of Shaxi in Dali is a bit remote and the traffic is not very convenient, but many ancient buildings are well preserved. Xingjiao Temple is located opposite the ancient stage and was built in the Ming Dynasty. It is now a key cultural relics protection unit in the country.

The only remaining Buddhist monastery of the Bai people of Ming Dynasty in China, Azili, was built in 13 years (1415). The existing hall, the second hall, Xingjiao Temple hall has 12 Buddhist murals in the Ming Dynasty, the ancient temple and ancient yellow Lianmu trees next to the temple area, there are a pair of lions in front of the mountain, and the mountain gate is facing the stage.

It is a highlight of Shaxi Ancient Town. Most people will come here to take a walk and see. Shaxi prices are still OK. Not expensive! I have been here many times, the homestay is also cost-effective, the innkeeper's service attitude is very good, but during the epidemic, everyone was unlucky.

The Xingjiao Temple, built in the 13th year of Ming Yongle, was opened free of charge due to the epidemic. It is the only remaining Ming Dynasty Bai "Atoli" Buddhist monastery. The Akili School is also close. Unlike Tibetan and Tang Mi, this was (possibly) introduced from India to the then Dali State through Myanmar. The sect was founded by Zantuo Hooduo, a monk from the Indian state of Magadha, who was closely related to the Dali royal family in Nanxun and was once considered a state religion. But the temple was founded in the Ming Dynasty. It is reasonable to say that after Kublai invaded Dali, the Mimi began to decay, right? The Great Hall and the Second Hall are one of the few important buildings of the Ming Dynasty in the West of Luxi. Outside the building, the murals on the outer wall are the most essence. Unfortunately, when the printing was done before, the damage was serious, and now it can only be appreciated by color photos. You can compare, Figures 8 and 9 are actually the same mural. Usually, the masculine Guanyin is rare. And the feminine Sakyamuni, I have never seen it. . . Look at the picture below!!
