After the May Day holiday, another Yuan Dynasty national heritage site in Shanxi was opened to the public

In an alley in Xinxing, Yuncheng, there is a small temple that doesn't look impressive at first glance, but upon closer inspection, it reveals a treasure trove of exquisite Yuan Dynasty clay sculptures. Previously, it was not open to the public and was even used as a storefront by a hardware store. The Xieshan-style front hall, facing outward, is a beautifully crafted small building from the Qing Dynasty. In the corner of the hall stand two damaged clay sculptures with their features washed away, revealing the yellow clay underneath, yet they appear endearingly naive. The main hall of the Yuan Dynasty, with its Xuan Shan style, is separated by a row of wooden doors, and its sunken design gives it an especially profound and mysterious feel. It enshrines the 'Heaven, Earth, Water' Three Officials, and even more impressive are the surrounding images of marshals such as Tian Peng, Tian You, Hei Sha, and Zhen Wu, with their hair standing on end and eyes wide open in anger, which are truly awe-inspiring. The current status of the three most notable cultural heritage sites in Xinxing: 1. Xinxing Baitai Temple was officially opened to the public during this year's May Day holiday. 2. Fusheng Temple is undergoing major repairs and is expected to be completely open after the National Day holiday. The Guanyin crossing the sea is surrounded by scaffolding; it is visible but not accessible. 3. The Three Officials Temple has been orderly opened to the public after the May Day holiday.
