Haifeng pagoda culture

Haifeng Tower is a symbol of the splendid culture of Emperor Wu, and there are many legends about her. There are also Manjusri Bodhisattva's Wudi Xiuzang Relic, Buddha Pagoda, and Liu Yong's candied jujube play Little Shenyang Zhixiu Sea Breeze Pagoda. Among them, the most popular is the legend of Manjusri Bodhisattva "Emperor Wu rests in peace and hides relics". According to legend, Manjusri Bodhisattva lectured on Wutai Mountain. At that time, there was no spring water in Wutai Mountain, the mountain was not covered with green, there were few birds in the sky, and animals on land were extinct. Manjusri Bodhisattva was born with the heart of Purdue, so she wanted to use the water of the East China Sea to dispel the heat of Wutai Mountain, so that the barren hills were green, the ditches were green, the pine trees flourished and the flowers and fruits were fragrant. Therefore, Manjusri Bodhisattva came to the East China Sea and borrowed a "cool stone" from the Dragon King. On the way back to Wutai Mountain, she passed through the ancient city of Dicheng, and suddenly felt that the wind was blowing slightly. The bright sunshine reflected the realm of flowers and birds in Ying Ying, and she felt a sense of floating into the fairy, so she sat down to rest. I think: although it is not a famous mountain or a great river, it is also a beautiful place for Buddhists. Why not put the relics in the soil to appreciate the compassion of the Buddha and the beautiful scenery here? Then he took the Buddhist relic Guanyin, read a spell, raised the sand and buried the Buddhist relic in the ground. During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, Buddhism was widely spread, and the saying that Manjusri Bodhisattva "has no emperor to rest in peace and hide relics" spread to Chang 'an, Kyoto. Emperor Taizong personally appointed Weichi Gong as the supervisor to build the Tang Building in Emperor Wu. There are folk sayings of "Cangzhou Lion, Sea Breeze Tower and Iron Bodhisattva in Dongguang County", which are also called "win-win-win" in Hebei and Shandong.
