Xingguo temple, located in Wutai Mountain, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province, is the place where monks built houses (monasteries) in Song Dynasty. Taiping xingguo temple was founded in Song Dynasty, located in Louguan Valley of Wutai Mountain.
Wutai Mountain has five peaks, which are higher than Yun Biao. There are no trees on the top of the mountain, like a platform for spreading soil, so it is called Wutai. According to legend, Yang Yande, a patriotic star in the Song Dynasty, was a figure in Yang Jiajiang's novels, operas and folklore, and the fifth son of Yang Ye, a golden knife coach, so he was called "Yang Wulang".
In the battle of Golden Beach, only one person was left to fight alone. In the end, he was outnumbered. He evaded his pursuers by pretending to be a monk. Later, he went to Wutai Mountain and became a monk here. Therefore, it is also called Wulong Temple, which is one of the famous temples in Wutai Mountain. Taiping xingguo temple is the only temple named after the emperor in China.

According to legend, Wutai Mountain was escorted by Yang and his son. Song Taizong went to Taiping xingguo temple to worship Buddha, and Yang Wulang met Rui Jian. Because the emperor's palace is close to Taiping xingguo temple, Yang Wulang became a frequent visitor to Taiping xingguo temple. Through several contacts, Yang Wulang admired Ruijian's profound knowledge, and Ruijian also liked Yang Wulang's personality. They are like-minded and have close contacts.
In every contact, Rui Jian always instilled some Buddhist ideas into Yang Wulang intentionally or unintentionally, such as what is the universe, what is harmless to life, and what is self-cultivation, and insinuated to persuade him to abandon his armor and become a monk.
About becoming a monk, before coming to Wutai Mountain, Yang Wulang never thought about it. After he came, he didn't have enough courage to escape into an empty net, although there is a saying that "he who is near Zhu Zhechi is black".
Rui Jian Yang Wulang is close to Buddhism. As long as he loses on the battlefield or suffers a blow in his life, he will definitely give up his mortal heart and convert to Buddhism. When he left, Yang Wulang came to say goodbye. Rui saw it and sent him a package, urging him not to open it at ordinary times. When you are frustrated on the battlefield, opening this package again will help you get out of trouble.
Because of Pan Renmei's deliberate frame-up, Yang Jiajiang suffered a crushing defeat. Four of them died and two were captured. Yang Wulang plunged into a forest, with no road ahead and pursuers behind him. At this critical moment, he remembered the package Rui Jian gave him and quickly opened it. It turned out to be a monk's hat and a black cassock.
Yang Wulang resented the treacherous court official, and Zhongliang was persecuted and decided to abandon his armor and become a monk. So he made a decisive decision, wore a monk's hat and a black cassock, and swaggered out of the Woods. Liao soldiers ignored him when they saw that he was a monk, so that Yang Wulang was not captured.
