Representatives of traditional temples in China.

It is said that there is a thousand-year-old temple in Zhengding County, Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province.

The Monastery, built in the Great Song Dynasty in the temple, was praised by Mr. Liang Sicheng, an expert in ancient architecture, as an isolated case of ancient architecture in the world and the first temple outside Beijing. Such high praise is fascinating. I was really surprised to have time to visit this time. The temple is a collection of historical steles, murals, architecture and other artistic treasures, which is really hard to see in other temples and has high historical, artistic and scientific value.

Longxing temple was founded in 586, formerly known as Longzang Temple, and changed to longxing temple in the Tang Dynasty. In the forty-ninth year of Kangxi, he was given "longxing temple", which has been in use ever since.

The whole temple has a north-south depth structure, covering an area of more than 80,000 square meters, with more than ten halls and pavilions, which are distributed on both sides with the central axis as the center. The entrance gates of the temple include the Heavenly King Hall, Dajue Sixth Division Hall, Mani Palace, Pailou Gate, Tan Jie, Cishi Pavilion, Runwheel Tibetan Pavilion, Compassion Pavilion, Imperial Bookstore, Qing Ji Pavilion, Tomi Temple, Pilu Temple, Longquanjing Pavilion, etc., with clear priorities and scattered heights.

Longxing temple has eight most amazing cultural relics:

1. It was praised by Mr. Liang Sicheng, the master of ancient architecture, as an isolated case of ancient architecture in the world: Mani Palace in Song Dynasty.

Second, the colorful hanging plastic Guanyin, praised by Mr. Lu Xun as the "oriental beauty god": sitting upside down on Guanyin.

Third, it has the most abundant Ming Dynasty murals in a single hall.

Fourth, it had the largest wheel depot in China in the early days.
