Zhenguo Temple in Shanxi Province

Zhenguo Temple, a national key cultural relics protection unit, is located in Dong Hao Village, north of Pingyao County, Shanxi Province, at15km northeast of Pingyao Ancient City, a world cultural heritage. Daxiong Hall was built in the seventh year of Tianhui in the Northern Han Dynasty (AD 963) and rebuilt in the twenty-first year of Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty (AD 18 16), leaving many inscriptions and inscriptions in the hall.

Zhenguo Temple, formerly known as Jingcheng Temple, was renamed Zhenguo Temple during the Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, and has been in use ever since. The temple is divided into two courtyards. The front yard has a mountain gate Tianwang Temple, and the second floor has bells and drums. There are three halls in the middle, also known as the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. There are five halls in the east of the backyard and five in the west, and there are three Buddhist halls in China.

The World Cultural Heritage List defines Pingyao ancient city as "one city and two temples". One temple is Shuanglin Temple, famous for its colorful sculptures, and the other is Zhenguo Temple, which conquered the world with its architecture.

The earliest building of Zhenguo Temple, the Wanfo Hall, has been rebuilt many times in the past dynasties, but it still maintains the style of the Five Dynasties. It is one of the three existing Buddhist temples in China in the Five Dynasties, among which the painted sculptures are the only five generations of works in temples and halls all over the country. There are 44 ancient buildings in the Five Dynasties, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, 62 colored sculptures, more than 65,438 murals and more than 20 inscriptions, among which there are many rare treasures. Moreover, the wooden structure of the Ten Thousand Buddha Hall is different from other places. It is unique in that there is not a nail in this wood structure, and all the structures are made of wood and wood.

Thank you, hope to adopt.
