A treasure temple spanning more than 1,400 years - Daxingshan Temple
The ancestral temple of Tantric Buddhism, one of the eight sects of Buddhism, is also the super popular Maomao Temple in Xi'an, and there is also the Maomao God! In fact, they are a pair of black stone statues of cats and beasts in front of Mahakala in Daxingshan Temple. Black cats have been a symbol of luck and auspiciousness since ancient times, and are the embodiment of blessings. In addition, they are often with Mahakala, symbolizing good luck and prosperity. People often say "Touch a cat's head and you won't worry for a year". There are also many stray kittens in the temple. The hydrangeas are in full bloom recently, so you can go and check in~
