Xiaojing Temple is a famous Buddhist temple in Baoshan District, Shanghai. According to historical records, it was built during the Qiandao period of the Southern Song Dynasty and destroyed in the second year of the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It is said that the temple was the first of the 72 temples along the Yangtze River, with 5,048 temple buildings. The remaining pillars with a diameter of nearly meters are enough to prove the grandeur of the temple at that time. It is said that during the struggle for the throne in the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest grandson Zhu Yunwen (Emperor Jianwen) fled into the temple for refuge, and his uncle Zhu Di (Emperor Yongle) burned the temple in anger. The temple buildings rebuilt by later generations still cover more than 200 square meters, and the main hall and side halls were not demolished until 1992. There are more than 20 legends about Xiaojing Temple circulating in the local area. The legends about Xiaojing Temple can be roughly divided into three categories: the first is the origin of Xiaojing Temple, which is said to be a family temple built by Emperor Wu of Liang, where Xiao He and Hua Tuo are enshrined. It once had 5,048 houses and was known as the first of the 72 temples along the river. Many of the things described in the legend can still be found today; the second is about Xiaojing Temple and the "Jingnan Rebellion" in the Ming Dynasty. It is said that Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen fled to Xiaojing Temple after the fall of the capital. When the pursuers burned Xiaojing Temple, he escaped by chance and was rescued by the three sisters of the Zhu family. Since then, his whereabouts have been unknown. Several legends depict the whole event from different perspectives, which are quite legendary, with twists and turns and ups and downs; the third is the legends of customs and objects related to Xiaojing Temple, including the local folk customs and other historical events that resulted from it, which have distinct regional characteristics. The content of the legend of Xiaojing Temple spans more than a thousand years from Liang to Qing Dynasty. In a sense, it can be regarded as a local historical record. Among them, the enshrinement of Xiao He and Hua Tuo is extremely rare in Shanghai. The content involving the "Jingnan Rebellion" and Zheng He's voyages to the West has great reference value for the study of Ming history. (No pictures yet, welcome to provide.)
