Hongluo Temple Scenic Area is located 4 kilometers north of Huairou City, Beijing, and 55 kilometers from downtown Beijing. The total area of the scenic area is 800 hectares and is now a "National 4A-level Scenic Area". The profound historical accumulation and cultural infiltration, the wonderful geographical environment and climatic conditions have made Hongluo Mountain Hongluo Temple a perfect and extraordinary "Pure Land Buddhist Kingdom". Hongluo Temple was built in the fourth year of Xiankang in the Eastern Jin Dynasty (338 AD). It is a permanent temple of ten directions. It is the birthplace of Buddhism in northern my country and the largest Buddhist forest. It has enjoyed a very high status in the Buddhist community for more than a thousand years. The last two generations of ancestors of the Pure Land Sect in my country were both related to this temple. There is a saying in the world that "there is Putuo in the south and Hongluo in the north". The thousand-year-old ancient temple is surrounded by mountains and waters and built on the mountain. It is backed by the majestic Hongluo Mountain in the north and shines on the beautiful Hongluo Lake in the south. The temple is surrounded by forests and gullies, with towering ancient trees, hiding the wind and gathering the energy, making it a Feng Shui treasure land. The "Three Wonders of Hongluo" - the Imperial Bamboo Forest, the Male and Female Ginkgo Biloba, and the Wisteria Pine are well-known. Millions of green bamboos and thousands of acres of ancient pine forests surround the entire temple, forming a beautiful picture of "ancient temples hidden in blue waves". The spiritual energy of mountains and rivers has created the Buddhist garden landscape here, which "exclusively possesses the wonders of Feng Shui in the land and the beauty of the natural environment". The Hongluo Temple Scenic Area has now formed a "one-day tour" sightseeing pattern of three Buddhist cultural areas, Hongluo Temple, Guanyin Temple, and Five Hundred Arhats Garden, and two natural scenic areas, Hongluo Mountain and Qinglong Mountain, forming a sightseeing feature of "watching flowers in spring, escaping the heat in summer, watching leaves in autumn, and appreciating the three friends of winter in winter". Visitors here can not only walk into the ancient temple, admire the solemn Buddhist rituals, burn incense and pay homage, comprehend their own nature, eliminate many troubles and gain the joy of peace, but also stroll in the forest to rest under the pines or climb high to look far and sing in the wind, and enjoy the pleasure of leisure.

Interpretation of Hongluo Temple from the perspective of Eastern philosophy As a famous Buddhist holy place in northern China, the existence of Hongluo Temple itself is the embodiment of the idea of "harmony between man and nature" in Eastern philosophy. In Eastern philosophy, especially Chinese philosophy, the harmonious coexistence of nature and humanity is regarded as an ideal state of life. Hongluo Temple is surrounded by mountains and rivers, with towering ancient trees, which not only shows the beauty of nature, but also reflects the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. The Buddhist theory of "dependent origination and emptiness" emphasizes that all things are born from the combination of cause and effect. Every brick, tile, tree and stone of Hongluo Temple tells the wisdom of this dependent origination. In addition, the bells, chanting sounds, and the piety of pilgrims in Hongluo Temple together create a quiet and profound atmosphere, which is the embodiment of the concept of "quietness to cultivate oneself and frugality to cultivate virtue" in Eastern philosophy, encouraging people to find inner peace in the noisy world. Interpretation of Hongluo Temple from the perspective of Western philosophy From the perspective of Western philosophy, Hongluo Temple can be interpreted as a discussion of the issue of "existence and essence". In Western philosophy, especially existentialist philosophy, individual existence and free choice are emphasized. As a religious place, Hongluo Temple provides people with a space to explore the meaning of their own existence. Everyone's experience in Hongluo Temple is unique. This personalized experience echoes the existentialist emphasis on "existence precedes essence", that is, the essence of man is not predetermined, but gradually formed through choices and actions in the process of life. In addition, the architecture and art of Hongluo Temple, such as sculptures and murals, can be regarded as a philosophical exploration of "beauty". Western aesthetics believes that beauty exists objectively, and the beauty of Hongluo Temple, whether natural or artificial, inspires people's perception and thinking of beauty, reflecting the pursuit and understanding of beauty in Western philosophy. In summary, whether from the perspective of "harmony between man and nature" and "dependent origination and emptiness" in Eastern philosophy, or "existence and essence" and "beauty" in Western philosophy, Hongluo Temple provides rich philosophical thinking materials. It is not only a religious and cultural space, but also a philosophical field that guides people to think about the profound issues of life, nature, beauty and existence.
