Those who are familiar with the history of the Tang Dynasty must know that Ganye Temple is the temple where Wu Zetian had her hair cut. According to the custom of ancient palaces, after the death of every emperor, those concubines who belong to him and have no children have to leave the palace. How to arrange them in different dynasties is different, so the Tang Dynasty adopted to send them to temples as nuns. Ganye Temple, which has been used for hundreds of years, is a temple dedicated to receiving expelled concubines in the Tang Dynasty. It is recorded in the Book of the New Tang Dynasty and the Book of the Old Tang Dynasty that after the death of Emperor Taizong, Wu Zetian was sent to Ganye Temple to become a monk. During this period, Emperor Li Zhi visited Wu Zetian many times in the name of his father's incense. Three years later, despite opposition from all sides, she resolutely took Wu Zetian back from Kanye Temple, named Wu, and then became a queen. Finally, Wu Zetian became the only female emperor in the history of China. Ganye Temple not only witnessed the most depressed time of a generation of queens, but also recorded the process of a woman from weak to strong. But perhaps few people know that after more than a thousand years of ups and downs, Kanye Temple still has traces to follow today, and the last houses and stone tablets are still well preserved in the Kanye Temple Primary School on the old site of Seoul. ...
The ruins of Ganye Temple are in today's Ganye Temple Small College.
