Zhang Fonu made him the Queen of Xiping, and used the Buddhist temple that adopted him as Yuanjue Temple. Shazhou and Senglusi submitted a memorial to the capital with a fast horse. On the tenth day of April, the imperial edict was finally delivered to Shazhou. Yuanjue Temple, thus becoming the first legal temple in Hexi.

Temples in the Song Dynasty must have a quota to be legal, otherwise it is a wild temple. Once the court tightens Buddhist policies, the first step is to demolish temples without quota. The quota is not found by erecting a temple, but there is an inspection period, that is, the account is in the account. Once the temple is established, the name of the name is first registered in the state and report to the capital temple department. There is a unified account in the country. If certain conditions are met, the court can be asked to give the quota to the imperial court, which is considered formal and legal. If the account is not given without quota, it is generally considered a legal temple.

Generally speaking, there is no extreme event of the destruction of Buddha in the world. For example, during the reign of Zhou Shizong, all temples without imperial edicts were destroyed in the world. This is the last time that the destruction of Buddha in Chinese history, and even the death of Zhou Shizong was also a retribution for his cannon to attack the bronze Buddha in Yangzhou. Using the accounting and imperial edict system, all Buddhist temples in the world were included in the control of the court, which was a regime showing its ruling ability.

While Yuanjue Temple received the imperial edict, the Secretariat ordered him to set up a altar for men, monks, women, nuns to ordain believers in Guasha and other states.

Monks and nuns can’t be used as long as they want. They must have a certificate of plagiarism and go to designated places to be ordained. There is more than 70 precepts in the Song Dynasty, and there is a precepts in roughly several states. All monks must go to the precepts to be ordained to be legal.

There is only one chance to ordain every year, that is, the emperor's birthday, which is the Qianyuan Festival on April 14th.

Most of these systems were inherited from the Five Dynasties of the Tang Dynasty and had certain modifications. Some people in Shazhou knew about it, while others did not. Under the halo of Zhang Fonu being the Buddha's master, Qi Song led the monk Lusi and pushed it to the local area.

Yuanjue Temple obtained not only the imperial edict, but also the imperial edict was built, that is, the imperial court paid the money and the local area worked according to its capacity. What followed was that the temple system was stipulated, and the ten-way abbot system was adopted. The abbot was decided by the court, and the imperial edict sent the abbot.

At this time, the temples in the world are roughly divided into two categories: Zen and Vinaya. Zen is the system of ten directions, namely, the property is publicly owned, and the abbot is the great monks who are recommended by the public. The monks in the temple do not refuse, the person who goes away does not pursue, and the managers implement the system of public recommendation. The Vinaya is the system of A and B, that is, the master and disciple, and the brothers are successively, and the temple property is private ownership, which is relatively closed. Generally speaking, the government hopes to implement the system of ten directions, which has certain restrictions on the system of A and B.

The Yuanjue Temple in Shazhou was the first temple to be sent to the abbot. Once the abbot passed away, the temple will issue several quotas for the next abbot, and the Secretariat issued an imperial decree to select one person. Xu Ping's purpose was to bureaucratize the Buddhist system and turn some large temples into monk management offices. Later, the levels were divided, so that monks could go up one level at a time and integrate them with the secular official system.

This is a successful method for the Song Dynasty to completely secularize Buddhism. From then on, Buddhism became part of the management of the regime's social management, and the teachings outside became completely within the square. The statements such as maintaining religious purity were completely because the regime was uneasy for itself. It was useless to transform the outside and not control it, and it was equivalent to parasitizing it on the body of society. After the Song Dynasty, Buddhism and other religions missed this system extremely much, and set a hierarchy for themselves, imitating the previous practices.

At this time, Yuanjue Temple was only a small temple with more than a dozen and only three or five monks. According to the court system, there was no qualification for account connections. It was just a wild temple. The economy of the sandbank was isolated from the mainland, and paper money was not available. The money for building the temple was mainly paid with silver and silk. On the way, Qi Song brought monks and public officials from the Monk Lusi to set up tents or thatched cottages to serve Zhang Fonu and live here.

Sun Zude said: "Now that Shazhou is in power, we naturally try our best to rely on the King of Xiping to help. With his words, the people are convinced."
