Liberation, with the social stability, production recovery and development, Gokokuji temple also booming for some time, the socialist transformation of private industry and commerce after the street vendors are mostly concentrated in the long-term operation of the Long Fusi. In 1957, the time of each temple there are a few small vendors sales stall in the temple, visiting the temple are very few. After the temple building gradually for a number of units occupied by most of the buildings have been demolished, converted into buildings, the temple building remaining 3 Diamond Central Plains and the rear of several Hall West wind-room. If you insist on looking for traces of Gokokuji temple, only the people's theater snack bar and flower across the yard, even though after the liberation of all converted into houses, but two or inherited by the Gokokuji temple.
Later, on the remains of the King Hall repair carried out. Beijing protection unit

Gokokuji temple
Of Tung Tau rely on the north side of a small wine Taner, selling liquor scattered next to have a corner selling fried eggs (fried egg) is. And then next to the fried sausage, and Beijing fried sausage is made of starch plus red yeast-like lump on the pot steamed, Liang Liang, cut into pieces, then boiled pork soup oil frying, foreign Giori tender, add salt garlic consumption, very good to eat. There are still selling the snacks, but far less then temple on the taste.
Intermediate People's Court hall had collapsed down the bad, the story platform and stood in the hall a lot of big timber, are then used in the Basilica, after years of wind and rain have been old, but the texture of an immortal, is still lying there, stretch out. Say that it is more Shanghao timber. Here then is the place to put comic Taner, dazzling, classical Chinese literature, painting out of "Three Kingdoms", "Dream of Red Mansions", and "Big Five yi", "Xiao Wu Yi", "Water Margin", "Ghost Story", "Journey to the West" and so on. At that time the film sheet of paper, after the printed comic, comic books and movies look like, but do not move without the sound Bale. Here is the children's world, reading a penny to see a half-day is also not take a dime.
Road Boss, the most northern, to the east after the gate, door, wherever he goes, through the east is the crosstalk. Only this one temple, leader called SUN Bao-only, stage name "Big Bear", the other actors have Zhaoyu Gui, Luo Rongshou, Zhaochun Tian, Huang for waiting. They crosstalk, two-man comic is performing, SUN Bao-played two-man comic only to the main front in Beijing is now able to perform in two-man comic not many people, that is, there are performances, most of the large ones, or SUN Bao-only. Talking Tonight, the SUN Bao-hailed funny only to the main. This year they are very popular wherever he goes, audiences, each said that after a period of zero-play money, to the number of all rows, do not give is required.
West North Boss, to the west after the entrance, by the west, North Temple, hanging horizontal tablet, "Dee Hall," is the year the management of the Lama temple housing. Gokokuji originally lamasery, but it was not much Lama. I know Wang is in charge of monks, and the other monks named Xue, there are a few other not remember. Dee Hall in front of a piece of land can be put dozens of square table, as a tea, is run by the monks for the rest and drink tea tourists visiting the temple. This tea is very prosperous period in the temple fair.
After the entrance hall the middle of things one, the tall and towering, yet Tan Dao, House fan windows neat, though after years of wind and rain old, momentum has remained within the non-Buddhist, to put their things, confusion. Behind this hall is the Tayuan of.
Tayuan a small entrance, a pair of stone lions in front of a small, East and West each saw not that this entrance closed for long periods, travel away they saw per capita. Hill in front of the temple wall Huokou things have also become a back door, back door can be cotton alley east west alley deep in the back door what may be flowers.
After the door by the north east there are stalls selling catapult crossbow, relying on the south a selling Hu salt. Hu is the food great salt with salt and then processed into thin noodles Guochao abuse, for people to brush their teeth with. That Clear the people who brush their teeth on the salt, can be used in very bad tooth powder, using toothpaste that is a matter of a few years later. In this case, the share of children placed in the bronze medal, there are black, "Hung-business", stall holders was a white-bearded old man, Hu, singly is not high, crying, "Buy Hu salt!" Voice Cui Liang, to this day I still remember clearly.
West Road North after the gate there is a little less than 10 square meters North house doorway hung with "Ming Yin Chai," a small plaque, is sold in Beijing huqin's. The old husband and wife, old man-made huqin sale. That small room is both sales workshops, both the bedroom is the kitchen.
Tayuan East Point gate, there is a Peking opera singing wherever he goes, artists called "big monster." Then this person more than 40 years old, Retention back head, wear robes, wearing a "hot stick up" is opera stage Caidan wearing that ugly Pozi craniofacial. Their faces painted white, grimace in pain, funny laugh. "Big monster" was single-handedly pull a good Beijing erhu, quite skilled, he pulled a variety of Beijing Opera Tune, levels are not low. Every opening, he will pull Tune, "Deep Night" in order to attract the audience.
The "big monster," surnamed Liu, when his wife was also present at the opera, Tsing Yi dan, Rou-Sei Rim able to sing. There are fancier to help the market, do not pay, just too play addiction. I remember bits of the fancier named Yang, tall, long face was singing Rou-Sei Rim, falling into the audience called him a big Yang, helping the market very long, often see him. "Big monster" in the temple when the last recession, they all disappeared.
Tayuan west corner door, there is a change of Chinese classical magic infants. Surrounded by the audience, can conjure up all sorts of tricks, often played shows with fairy Zhai beans, ground to pull the bowl, bandy Dangdang, Nagaami Zhai ring. The audience in a meter closer, could not see any flaws to be called stunt.
Tayuan middle hall and east-west Piandian still intact, there are places in the hall before the rap bamboo book "Liu Detective", the stage name "Little Bee" to say mainly sing very little. More than 40 years old, hoarse voice, very popular with some old ladies welcome.
The south side of the book that bamboo, which is the middle of homes, is the stall selling tea, a big copper pot, is a sign, to tea, oil fried noodles abuse, lotus root starch-based, also sell snacks like rice cakes. As far as I know, Gokokuji temple fair, only two of Taner selling tea cake, front yard is "rice cakes Lee", means that a child's backyard.
Tayuan what each hall a small door leading to rear children hospital. What is relatively bleak, visitors are also less than the front yard, though there's Basilica, but something is not wind-room. Slip through the south a few selling sheep intestines cream, and cooked to sell steaming in the cold weather son to bowl heat cream sheep intestines, decoction with water, then warm and relieve their hunger, delicious inexpensive, economical. By the west there is a bow wherever he goes, pulling hard, martial arts are more than 30 years old, able-bodied, it could also open five bow, sometimes performing fight slingshot. Do not bow to practice money, primarily selling "Dali Wan."
Tayuan backyard with the wall of the Western Wall has a door out to go west to the Pacific alley on South Street in Xinjiekou.
Gokokuji temple is not a daily, monthly according to the Chinese terms, every seven or eight are Gokokuji. To the late 40s of the last century, tei miu, the flower market temple withdrawn two days would be moved to Gokokuji temple. Gokokuji the last century temple to the mid-50s gradually depressed. After the public-private partnerships, and some temples stall holders have been absorbed into the business or enterprise, selling Grilled rice cake, and sold deep-fried sausage Incorporation Gokokuji snack bar.
Temple fair is nothing more than looking to buy are sold, entertainers entertainer, the common people shopping and entertainment of the Department, in fact there are many cultural connotations, native folk culture, heritage product thickness. Playing with food and clothing, all cultures, starkness, and the people closely linked and therefore I put down to temple land Wanyi Er, how many years are passed down. In today's impulsive society, Beijing's old people think of those who hope the return of simple culture.
