Returns to visit the Big Wild Goose Pagoda is also, to Xi'an last year, when, to coincide with high-temperature falls, the people uneasy, and came to the big Tsz Temple did not mind the geese Thadden high distance, the returns to visit the natural non-denta is not to alleviate the last year of the sorry.

Big Wild Goose Pagoda is located in the Great Chi Yun Temple, the world famous Big Wild Goose Pagoda, however, well known, and large Jionji are unknown. As the temple is located in the Great Chi Yun, Big Wild Goose Pagoda is also called big chaun Temple, is the most famous ancient pagoda existing Xi'an, but also be seen as a symbol of the ancient city of Xi'an.

Great Jionji the Muro-ji Temple was originally the Sui Dynasty, AD 647, the Tang prince Li Zhi for the commemoration of his mother Queen's eldest grandson, named after big Jionji rebuilt. After three years Taizong Jiabeng, Prince Li Zhi ascended the throne, Emperor Gojong numbers, none other than the Emperor's darling has added to the Empress Wu Tang emperor, but Empress Wu is also clinging to the mother of Emperor's respect to this characteristic, multi - sub-copying grandson of Queen's "women were" deeply discuss the Emperor's favor, a meteoric rise from the maid to the queen. This is not the way, if the Empress Wu did not become Queen, in China's history will not appear on the female emperor, the Big Wild Goose Pagoda there is no AD 701 -704-year overhaul of that field, that is big Jionji and the Big Wild Goose Pagoda The most brilliant period, when the Master Xuan Zang has left a big Jionji first moved to Xi Ming Temple, and then moved to the northern Shaanxi in a converted monastery by Rikyu. On the bare "Rikyu", the Xuan Zang completed a "great Prajnaparamita Sutra", "Maharatnakuta" the translation work.

Xuanzang left the Tang Tianzhu learn when to not, as described in the novel are sent to the Emperor Qin, and also given "Don" last name, but after a narrow escape did not leave Datang difficult, when the clandestine acts, with the current discourse is "illegal." When out of Jiayuguan is said to also abide by customs officers and men came close to being injured by the flow arrows, although the city of Gao, had deep hum Dodo to host a one-month argument of the General Assembly, but the hardships along the way, and only once on foot across the vast Gobi Desert people's ability to understand. However, since the Tianzhu "illegal immigrants" came back, he was treated differently with Seventeen years ago, when coincided with the rise of Buddhism in China, Prince Li Zhi for the mourning queen mother and the overhaul of a large Tsz Temple, Taizong Li Shimin immediately ordered Xuan Zang went to Daiji An Temple appointed abbot, and also awarded him the power to discipline the world monks. Since then, beginning in the Great Master Xuanzang Jionji for the translation of Buddhist scriptures, and is big chaun temple completed the famous "Tang Western Regions in mind."

In order to facilitate collection Buddhist scriptures, was built in 652 AD, the Great Wild Goose Pagoda. Big Wild Goose Pagoda was only a five-story, now seen seven Big Wild Goose Pagoda is the Empress Wu when the emperor overhaul. The year in the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, in addition to Session storage Sanskrit and translated Buddhist scriptures, but also worship the statue of Buddha and the relic. According to legend, after the Nirvana of Sakyamuni, is divided into 7200 relics, everywhere. Big Wild Goose Pagoda is now inside can also see statues of Buddha in the Tang Dynasty. There is also a relic, rosy, colors like ivory, made of beads, after holders constantly "touch read" from a white into a faint red color. People who have never seen such a prayer beads had no choice but to imagine it is the faint pink good!

Big Wild Goose Pagoda, there are governance and Taizong Li Shimin, Emperor's Lee had personally written by the "big Tripitaka seikyo sequence monument" and "out Sanzo seikyo sequence recorded monument" stone. Can see that the rulers of the Tang Dynasty when the foreign religion of Buddhism was highly praised, with two imperial regimes, Xuan Zang in the Great Jionji matter Transwhiz spread nationwide, temporary visitors to not be extinguished, ceremony pays respects to constantly, and made Xuan Zang overwhelmed, and had to go to Xi Ming Temple, paid respects to those who caught on to the same, a sense of Li Zhi Emperor's difficulties to the master to repair the temple in northern Shaanxi Shang Lin, Xuanzang master side has been almost deprived of accommodation and peace of mind to translate the Buddhist scriptures brought back.

However, large Jionji not because the departure of Master Xuan Zang lonely, a few years later the Queen Empress Wu donated seven of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda built high, from where the new scholars and third, we must board the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the tower wall souvenir title . Scholars in the Tang Dynasty poet, when he was here and wrote: "Cien Ta under the Title Office, the 17 most young people," once said. When he was only 27 years old.

Today, Big Wild Goose Pagoda board, you can see from the Tacitus of the openings in the Master Xuanzang, it was his statue. As the first major Tsz Temple abbot, when the tourists come here and remember their are not many, as the legend on the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, and the Master Xuan Zang is not much, I think such a legend should always remember to you and me mind: "to uncover the Western Paradise Master Xuan Zang year when the hyacinth in the Gobi desert beach has lost her way, has been going round and round inside Hulu beach. just as he was sitting on the beach This is really, in order to bring fresh water have been exhausted and the to worry about a time when all of a sudden one bigger than the other two sub-flying geese, Xuanzang respectfully Sincerely master right after Dayan said: 'I is Tang monk Xuanzang, to learn Western Paradise, lost here. God ushered me goose if a gourd Beach, returned to Chang'an repair tower as a thank you. '2 Hongyan hear nodding his head, and then the Master Xuan Zang leads gourd beach. Tianzhu learn from the successful return from Chang'an, the Master Xuanzang not forget the promise, the construction of large and small Wild Goose Pagoda. "

I certainly know someone else who Duzao Small Wild Goose Pagoda, is 695 AD, the Silk Road from the sea, learn from Master Yi Jing returned in 707 years Duzao. However, such a romantic legend, full of the spirit of the legendary story of gratitude, but also should be recognized as the origin of the name for this column to reflect the central idea of the Buddhist teachings - Thanksgiving. Amitabha!
