[Phoenix PEN] Li Jianmin: Reflections on visiting Zenjoji Temple in Tokyo Phoenix City Li Jianmin Visiting Zengshang Temple in the sweltering heat, I look solemn and shambling. Bianliang no longer has a view of Tokyo, and Japan looks like a view of the Tang and Han Dynasties. The same kind and the same sect are fried too quickly. One clothes and two layers of water. The flowers of the jade tree in the back garden are still beautiful, and my heart feels cold just thinking about it. Zojoji Temple is a Pure Land sect temple located in Shiba Park, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Japan. Its mountain name is Sanyuan Mountain. It is also one of the spiritual temples of the Tokugawa family of the Edo shogunate. Looking down from Tokyo Tower, with green tiles and eaves, thick shade blocking out the sun, Zojoji Temple is shielded from the bustling Tokyo Port, leaving only a quiet place. To protect this pure land, no skyscrapers are allowed around it. The temple is secluded and solemn, filled with smoke. Looking around, there are Chinese characters everywhere, Chinese etiquette everywhere, and a hint of the style of the Han and Tang Dynasties. I think of the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" again, but the grand scene of Bianliang in Tokyo is not there. Buddhism was introduced to China from the Han Dynasty and then to Japan via Korea. During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Japan sent many envoys to China to study. The Tang Dynasty showed its great style, hospitality was warm and unreserved. As time goes by, this Tokyo is not that Tokyo, but the style of Han and Tang Dynasties is in Fusang. Although they are of the same species and origin, they have fought against each other in modern times. The lip service should stop. In the exchanges between the two countries, strength speaks for itself. But the "Second Economy" got carried away, and it is still singing its legacy! It can make people feel cold in the hot summer and shed tears! What a sorrow! What a pain!
