Xiantong Temple | The golden hall emits boundless light, the pure blue is the beginning of the wonderful coolness. Explore the soul of Mount Wutai, do you know the ancient temple Xiantong Temple, known as the "second in the world"? It is not only a witness to history, but also a treasure of architectural art, which is fascinating. Xiantong Temple, after the Eastern Han Dynasty White Horse Temple, was founded by monks in Mount Wutai, and flourished in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was even more respected as the first of the "Five Great Zen Places", the ancestor of all temples in the mountain. Stepping into this Ming and Qing architectural complex, the seven courtyards are all beautiful. The Great Manjusri and the Great Hall of the Great Heroes are solemn and majestic, especially the Great Hall of the Great Heroes, which is a legacy of the Daoguang period, with a double eave and a hipped roof, showing the royal style. Turning the corner is the Wuliang Hall, a miracle of Ming bricks. It is named Wuliang without beams. The statue of Rushena in the hall is compassionate and peaceful. The dome is high, and the sense of space is beyond imagination. It seems to have traveled to the fantasy world carefully built by Ming craftsmen. Entering Xiantong Temple, every brick and tile tells a story. Come to the comment area to share, which hall or Buddha statue attracts you the most? Let us feel this shock and tranquility that spans thousands of years together!
