Brief introduction of Baique Temple in Nanhe, Hebei Province
According to the investigation of relevant scholars, the reason for the rise of Guanyin culture in China is the appearance of Miao Shan, the prototype of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is said that during the Southern and Northern Dynasties and the Northern Zhou Dynasty, a small country, Xinglin State, was established in southern Hebei (now Nanhe County, Xingtai City, Hebei Province) from about 600 to 640 AD, and Miaoshan was the third daughter of its king. She believes in Buddhism and refuses to recruit Ma Xu. She practiced in Nanhe Baique Temple and Jingxing Cangyan Temple (changed from Sui to Xingshan Temple and later to Fuxing Temple). She once gave her eyes to cure her father's strange disease. It is a historical fact that Miaoshan is a real person and once offered his hands and eyes. But after her death, she was deified and honored as Guanyin Bodhisattva. Since then, the image of the Buddhist monk Cihang, namely the male Guanyin Bodhisattva with a moustache, has been replaced by the image of the Han lady in Miaoshan, China (the Guanyin statues in Mogao Grottoes and famous temples are evidence), which immediately formed a craze for Guanyin belief in the whole country. Even Goddess Guanyin has moved from Hebei to the whole country and the whole world, gradually becoming the oriental goddess of fraternity symbolizing the traditional virtues of the Chinese nation, and becoming the embodiment of the combination of Buddhism and China's traditional morality.
