After coming out of the zoo, we came to the Shinkakuji Temple not far away.

Zhenjue Temple, also known as Wuta Temple, is located on the north bank of the Gaoliang River on the east side of Baishiqiao, Haidian District, Beijing.

"This is the King Kong Throne Tower," Ye Qian said with a smile, "This King Kong Throne Tower is all made of white marble, and it is covered with carvings. ”

"Why is this tower a pale orange-yellow?" I asked, puzzled.

"This is due to the oxidation of the iron in the stone," Ye explained, "so it has a faint orange-yellow color." ”

I saw that one of the five square towers with dense eaves was 13 stories high, and each of the four corners was 11 stories high. Directly south of the middle tower, there is a two-storey glazed pavilion, the exit of the stairs is inside, and there is a dragon caisson on the top of the pavilion, which is the symbol of the royal temple. On the top of the five towers there is a small bowl-covered tower stop, the middle tower is made of copper, and the other four are stone.

"After the tower is built," Ye Qian said unhurriedly, "in order to protect this King Kong Throne Tower, all the stones on the surface of the tower are protected with 'blood materials'. ”

"What is blood?" I asked, puzzled.

"It is said," Ye Qian smiled, "The 'blood material' is mixed with pig blood, putty and flour and glutinous rice juice, and then brushed on the body of the tower, and then pasted with linen cloth and painted with lacquer many times. Today, dark red traces can still be seen in the hollows of the carving. ”

We came to the Buddha's feet as we spoke.

In the middle of the middle tower south of the Sumeru seat waist carved a pair of convex Buddha feet, the foot center outward, the bottom of the blooming wild goose flowers. This kind of embossed Buddha foot is the only one in Beijing temple, and the Buddha feet in other places are incave. At the main entrance of the tower, there is a plaque of "Ejian King Kong Throne Tower". The two ginkgo trees in front of the tower, one female and one male, the age of the tree is more than 300 years, and three people need to hug together, which can be called a treasure of Zhenjue Temple. Legend has it that in the early years, the people of western Beijing often climbed the tower to overlook the season during the Chung Yeung Festival.

"Now, this is the Beijing Stone Carving Art Museum," Ye Qian said seriously, "and it is the first thematic museum to display stone carvings in Beijing." ”

"Why do you want to carve them all in stone, you say?" I asked Ye Qian.

"It's easy to save!" Ye Qian said seriously, "And I'm not afraid of wind and rain, nor is I afraid of corrosion!" ”

"It's like love," I said with a smile, "and carving love in stone can give you love carved in stone!" ”

"It should be-" Ye Qianwan smiled, "Engrave the love in love on the stone; Write the hatred in love on the beach. Love carved in stone, let it be eternal; Hate written on the beach, let it go with the wind! ”

"Why is there hate in love?" I asked knowingly.

"Love is beautiful, but at the same time painful," Ye Qian said with a deep face, "Love and hate are originally intertwined!" ”

"This is understandable," I pretended, "there is a kind of love that loves you in the heart and hates you on the surface. The person who truly loves you is to love and care for you with your heart, not to be pretentious on the surface, and hate is just hatred of iron and steel, not hatred. Loving you in your heart is true love, hating you on the surface is afraid that you will be hurt, this kind of love will only be understood by those who understand...... That's what I love and hate about you! ”

"There is a kind of love, which is hatred in the heart, love on the surface," Ye Qian said with a smile, "The surface is obedient to you, but in fact, the hatred for you in my heart has taken root." It seems sweet, but once you turn your face, you don't hesitate...... That's what I love and hate about you! ”

"So, love takes time to prove!" I felt deeply.
