Great Bell Temple is dedicated to the eternal one must "Yongle bell." Paradise is the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di's reign, as the early 15th century leaves. Zhu Di was the founder of modern Beijing pattern can be said that Beijing truly become the capital of China are inseparable from his nephew who won the country's fourth son of the emperor. Sometimes that is a coincidence of history, built the Great Bell Temple is the third emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the great temple bell is cast in third emperor of the Ming Dynasty, ascended the throne they all won the entropy, and both are outstanding on the history of China king. Both Bell Temple is a masterpiece of the Emperor left us, which you can experience when China's last two feudal Wang Zhaosheng microcosm, from which we can see the decline of foreshadowing.
The Yongle Bell Temple is not the biggest bell, weighing 46 tons, and now Beijing Yongle bell tower on the weight of 63 tons. Through the ages is not the first bell to win the weight, but the casting process and the value of the fine arts. Zhu Di-cast bell Buddha may be due to his early murderous reign of terror, although the supreme rulers of ancient China, but there are still many hearts fear, may be afraid of ghosts, Soul of the Dead, so he cast the bell in order to feel at ease. Text cast in minutes, every tap once, every word is considered audible, is equivalent to reciting mantras all again, this approach was being lazy and weight of, the power of dumping the whole country, can be considered a model of self-deception .
Clock nearly seven meters high, the maximum diameter of three meters, with only up to five cubic meters of copper, the most important thing is all the bell cast in vivo mantras of modern statistics, a total of two hundred and thirty thousand words, all handwriting, neat Juanxiu difficult words. Unfortunately, throughout all scriptures, Zhu Di, the pro-only compilation of "Buddhas Buddha Tathagata Buddha by Venerable Shenseng name" before the twenty volumes of words reached one hundred and thirty-seven thousand, but by the content of this Almost all the Buddha's name Venerable Shenseng. Fortunately, not the entire contents of the cast on it, otherwise it becomes a most heavy book, and study the thousands of names really no big significance to the modern. As if the contents of a book is now more than half of the list of all editorial positions, something really neat Jiaoren so angry, the largest bell cast visible Dangnian the purpose is for their own karma, as opposed to the fate of the Ming Dynasty, this purpose can be considered achieved. Unfortunately he was also a cause "Yongle Dadian" there is no clock so lucky, the civil strife of the late San rank incomplete, then the part of the essence if the big bell on the cast, this merit is even greater.
