Event hero
During the Anti-Japanese War, wars broke out, fireworks were everywhere, and the pure land of Taoism was in jeopardy. Chen Mingbin, a Taoist priest of Baiyunguan 2 1 generation, suffered from a malignant disease. When his condition deteriorated, he recommended an Shilin to preside over the important affairs of the temple.
An Shilin, Guangxu was born in fangshan county, Hebei Province in 27 years. /kloc-became a monk at the age of 0/6, and later lived in Baiyunguan for a long time. Young and inexperienced, he has neither profound knowledge nor prestige, and other Taoist priests do not admire him.
According to the information provided by the public, An Shilin forced Chen Mingbin to write an inheritance book, which was against the ancestral law at that time.
An Shilin, who had little experience, was not convinced after taking office, which also laid the groundwork for his later contradictions in views.
An Shilin has a stable position in the view.
After the clever and cunning An Shilin came to power, he naturally knew that he had obtained his position illegally. If he wants to stay in power for a long time, he must
Need a good helper to maintain it. As the manager of the temple, Bai is a newcomer from Hebei. An Shilin took a fancy to him, and the two colluded in the temple, bullying the Taoist priest and making a mess of Baiyun Temple.
At that time, when Japan invaded China, the Japanese wanted to control the spirit of China people. They recommended Tian Zijiu, who has rich political experience, as the vice president of Baiyunguan. 1944, Tian Zijiu died of illness, which made an Shilin beautiful. In the future, the rights and status in Baiyun Temple will be more stable.
An Shilin's ugly behavior
Religious holy places are places for self-cultivation, and religious people are not allowed to touch women or steal things. An Shilin, on the other hand, was unruly, evil, philandering and contrary to common sense, and was eventually killed.
With the help of Bai, An Shilin became more unscrupulous. He sold the farmland and houses around Beijing himself, and then sold the cultural relics and antiques that have been preserved for a hundred years. Even the pigs, cows and other livestock released by the donors of Baiyun Temple were stolen and sold by him.
An Shilin is obsessed with debauchery and keeps an ambiguous relationship with many women. With Bai's help, he built a tunnel in the back garden of Baiyunguan, and the woman who had an affair with him came in and out from here.
The evil things An Shilin and Bai did in the temple aroused the disgust of the monks in the temple and slowly began to fight with them. However, An Shilin received strong support from important politicians. The two of them completely ignored these Taoists and persecuted the unconvinced Taoists.
For a long time, Baiyun Temple has been responsible for temporarily hanging Taoist meals and arranging Taoist duties. Some can clean the courtyard of the temple, some run farms, and some recite scriptures. This is a rule handed down from ancient times.
But they abolished the traditional rules and regulations one by one, and did not allow temporary monks to stay for five days at most.
They also cut corners on Taoist food. The food is getting rougher and rougher, and Taoist priests can't eat enough. Taoist priests complained repeatedly. They secretly put away their crimes and planned to complain to their superiors.
1940 and 194 1 two years, Taoist priests jointly sued An Shilin and Bai.
The court sentenced An Shilin to appeal to the Supreme Court.
So many Taoists resisted, and the court was forced to announce an Shilin's fixed-term imprisonment at the beginning to calm the public's anger. However, An Shilin appealed to the pseudo-Supreme Court, and the Supreme Court excused him. According to the Taoist in the temple, An Shilin bribed the Supreme Court with a large sum of money.
Taoist priest sued An Shilin against Kuomintang.
On August 1945, the Japanese army surrendered.
Many Taoists feel that this is a good opportunity to seize An Shilin and Bai and accuse them of crimes with the Kuomintang.
Who knows, the Kuomintang District Court held that the actual controller of Baiyunguan Taoism was Japanese Tian Zijiu, not An Shilin. Tian Zijiu has been dead for many years, which can be ignored.
There is no hope of prosecution, and Taoists punish An Shilin.
The Kuomintang can't control them, which makes the monks dumbfounded and completely unable to hold back. If they are allowed to go on like this, they will only die and can't stand it any longer. So, with the consent of the group, they planned to set fire to kill An Shilin and Bai, which led to the "Baiyun Temple fire incident".
1946+065438+1October1evening, An Shilin and Bai came back from outside. Just lying down for a while, he was dragged out by Taoist priests such as Xu Xinhe and Ma.
As soon as the Taoist priest dragged them out, people who hated them rushed up and poured lime into An Shilin's mouth. In the process of being strangled by a rope, Bai choked to death and did not move. According to the plan in advance, one Taoist lit a fire and other Taoist poured kerosene on it.
In an instant, the fire was everywhere, and everyone threw firewood at An Shilin, which made the fire more fierce. An Shilin rolled in pain and died in pain.
In this way, An Shilin and Bai completely disappeared in this world. There are 36 Taoist priests involved in arson. They agreed that there was no difference between the principal and the accessory, and signed their names.
End of event
1946165438+1October 12 At 6 o'clock in the morning, 36 Taoist priests surrendered themselves to the Beiping police station. Subsequently, this appalling news spread all over the streets of Beiping.
An Shilin and Bai Quan stole property, embezzled public funds and oppressed Taoist priests. Even filing a lawsuit can't help them, and everyone is very angry. This result is culpable of punishment.
