4.42

At the old Longxing Monastery in the capital, Emperor Shizong of Zhou had abolished it and made it the Longxing Granary. At this point, the head monk struck the petition drum to appeal for the restoration of the monastery. The Emperor sighed with deep feeling and decreed its restoration, bestowing the name Taiping Xingguo Monastery and having it renovated to the utmost grandeur (Huangming shiyuan).
