Located outside Xibianmen, Beijing Baiyun Temple is the first authentic jungle of Taoism and one of the three authentic ancestral halls of Taoism. After the founding of New China, Chinese Taoist Association, China Taoist Society, China Taoist Culture Research Institute and other national Taoist organizations, universities and research institutions were established here one after another. Baiyun Temple is also one of the few temples in Beijing that were not destroyed during the Cultural Revolution.
Baiyun Temple is located outside Xibianmen in Beijing. Its predecessor is the concept of eternity in the Tang Dynasty. According to records, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty built this view for the purpose of "worshipping Taoism and worshiping Laozi". There is also a statue of Laozi in white marble, which is said to be a relic of the Tang Dynasty. In the fifth year of Jin Dynasty (1 160), Tianchang Pass was destroyed by fire. In the seventh year of Jin Dading (1 167), it was rebuilt for seven years, and it was completed in March in the fourteenth year of Dading (1 174). Jin Shizong named it "Ten Faces of Eternity". In the second year of Taihe (1202), Tianchangguan was unfortunately buried in the sea of fire, leaving only the stone statue of Laojun. The following year, it was rebuilt and renamed "Taiji Palace". In the second year of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty (12 15), the country was devastated, and the Taiji Palace was gradually abandoned.
At the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty, Qiu Chuji (No.Changchun Zi) came to see Genghis Khan from the snow-capped mountains in the western regions, with Yanjing in the east, and was given residence in Taiji Palace. At that time, the temple was desolate and full of rubble. Changchun real life ordered disciple Wang Zhijin to lead the construction, which lasted for three years and the terraced fields of the main hall were completely new. In May of the 22nd year of Yuan Taizu (1227), Genghis Khan changed the Taiji Palace to "Changchun Temple". In July, Qiu Chuji died in Changchun Temple. The following year, Yin Zhiping, a real person in Changchun, built a hall in the lower house on the east side of Changchun Temple to hide Qiu Zuxian. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, after years of war, the original temple of Changchun Temple declined day by day. In the early Ming Dynasty, the palace temple was rebuilt with Chushuntang as the center and renamed Baiyun Temple. In the early Qing Dynasty, Baiyun Temple was rebuilt on a large scale under the auspices of the abbot of Changyue Wang, which basically laid the foundation for the scale of Baiyun Temple today.
