A treasure of the world that has stood for thousands of years.

Deep in the mountains 32 km northeast of Wutai County, Shanxi, there is an ancient temple that is one of the existing Tang Dynasty wooden buildings in China🥳. It was rated by Liang Sicheng as the "first national treasure of China", that is, Foguang Temple😇 🚗Recommended self-driving❗️ 🎫40 yuan💰/person ⏰Monday to Sunday 8:30-17:30 🟢Its appearance Foguang Temple faces east and west, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the west is sparse and open. The internal buildings are distributed on three platforms from low to high according to the terrain: 1⃣️ layer Manjusri Hall: Built in the Jin Dynasty, it is the largest existing side hall in my country❗️ Tang Qianfu Jingzhuang: Established in 877, the body of the monument is engraved with the Dharani Sutra. You can take a cross-time and space photo with Lin Huiyin📷 2⃣️ layer ♨️Modern buildings, not open 3⃣️ layer ❤️East Hall: You need to climb a steep stone ladder to reach the main hall. The buildings, colored sculptures, murals, and ink marks in the hall are all original Tang Dynasty🥳 🤎Ancestor Pagoda: Next to the East Hall, a hexagonal brick tower has been preserved from the Northern Wei Dynasty❗️ 💛Tang Dazhong Jingzhuang: Established in 857, it is engraved with the name of Ning Gongyu, which is mutually confirmed with the ink marks of the East Hall, and is one of the important bases for judging the construction year of the East Hall👍 🧡Guan Di Temple: Next to the ancestor pagoda, it was rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty✅There is a postscript written by "Yin Chengxiu" in the Republic of China on the window, which is quite interesting😇 🟣Buddha Light Zen At sunset🌄, the East Hall is shrouded in golden light like a Buddha light, and the Buddha statues in the ancient temple are more solemn under this shining light😇 Standing in front of the hall, looking at the silhouette of the mountains in front of you, the sparse pine forest🌲, the mottled wooden door, and the flowing light and shadow, it seems to be dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty. The people of the Tang Dynasty at that time should also witness this quiet mountain spirit in the evening. , Feel this transcendent and profound Zen interest🥰
