It stands to reason that "White Horse Temple Mountain" should have its own name, but because the mountain has existed since human history and the temple was built later, people are usually used to calling the temple on the mountain by its name. For example, the temple on the top of Jueshan Mountain, which is quite famous far and near, is called Zhenwu Temple. However, for convenience, people used to call this temple Jueshan, but never called Jueshan Zhenwu Temple. Baimasi Mountain is called Baimasi Mountain because there is a Baimasi Mountain.

On this day, the weather was fine and the blue sky was cloudless. When we came to the foot of Sima Mountain, we looked up to the top of the mountain and saw a white cloud hanging in the place where the mountain meets the sky. At first, we didn't care too much. As we approached, we saw where it was. This is a huge white sculpture. Soon, judging from the outline of the sculpture and the name of "White Horse Temple Mountain", this is a soaring white horse. The horse held his head high, stood on his hind legs, and his front legs were flat, as if to pounce. At this moment, a companion said loudly, "This is not a horse. Look at the horse's head, it's obviously a bird's mouth! " "When I look closely, I can see that the horse's neck is thick, but its head is thin and sharp, much like the head of a bird with a slender mouth. Alas! I don't know which lame sculptor made such a bad work of horse body and bird head, which made people feel worse and worse. I just don't want to watch it anymore.

Near noon, we finally came to the White Horse Temple. The White Horse Temple in history should be just an ordinary temple. The Ming Wanli Zezhou Annals only recorded the words "Sima Mountain in the north of the city, built by the state", while the Qing Yongzheng Zezhou Annals only wrote the words "Sima Mountain in the north of the city, built by the Ming Dynasty". Qinglian temple and Robbie Temple in Jincheng were very famous in ancient times, leaving us many famous inscriptions and inscriptions. However, apart from these extremely brief descriptions in local chronicles, it is difficult to find any relevant documents in Baima Temple. In A.D. 1939, the Japanese invaders aimed their cannons at this small temple. Buddha Sakyamuni, Master Guanyin, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha and their eighteen arhats, who have always been pampered in the temple, watched helplessly as the small temple and their statues turned into a miserable scorched earth, but Buddhism, which was called "boundless" by all beings, could not be displayed. What is hateful is that even a broken monument was not spared under the fire of Japanese devils, and cigarettes were broken here from then on.

At this moment, an old monk standing on the steps came to talk to us. The old monk has a thin face, neat clothes and hats, and looks very energetic and talkative. He said he was from Qiantang, so he signed the bill here temporarily. When talking about the huge cost of the White Horse Temple project, the old monk smiled and said, "It's easy. Official behavior, a word, is a word. " The old monk deliberately repeated a "sentence" to emphasize that no matter how difficult it is, it is so easy to say a word as long as it is official behavior.

Say goodbye to the Buddha, leave the White Horse Temple, go downhill and walk briskly. It's not a word, but it's much easier than going up the mountain. At this time, it suddenly occurred to me that someone said that "Jincheng is a city without culture" on the grounds that there was no municipal library in Jincheng for more than 20 years. Some people also called loudly for this, asking politicians to pay attention to cultural construction and set up a municipal library as soon as possible. Thought of here, I can't help wondering, haven't these people been to White Horse Temple? Isn't this White Horse Temple the culture of Jincheng? Isn't the tall and majestic Tibetan Scripture Building of Baima Temple a good library?
