The Meaning and Use of Tiejian Temple and Mantou Temple

The story of the Red Mansion is very good at comparison. There are many mysteries hidden between this temple and a buddhist nun. As long as there are doors in traditional buildings in China, there are thresholds. People often refer to "high threshold" aristocratic families. The iron threshold is a firm threshold, which is not afraid of people coming and going, endless flow, long-term prosperity and prosperity from generation to generation. Earth steamed bread refers to the grave. It is made of earth and looks like a steamed bread. Inside the iron threshold, it should be the world of the living, with flowers in the brocade and cooking oil in the fire. Earth steamed bread should be the home of the deceased, rotten grass and cold smoke, infinitely depressed. However, the author of the Red Chamber changed the meaning of both. Tiejian Temple is a Jia Temple where "the old population of Beijing is put here cheaply". It is solemn and strict, and it is the yin house of the dead; However, there have been several cases full of human fireworks in buddhist nun, Shantou.
