Don't rush back after visiting the Wooden Pagoda in Ying County, or you'll miss out

🎀Dear friends, today I must share with you the Pure Land Temple in Ying County, Shanxi. 🌟After seeing the Wooden Pagoda in Ying County, I dragged my slightly tired body into the Pure Land Temple. As soon as I stepped into the temple gate, it felt like entering a peaceful world. This place was founded in the second year of the Tianhui era of the Jin Dynasty (1124 AD) and rebuilt in the twenty-fourth year of the Dading era (1184 AD), with a long history.😃 💫There are many legendary stories in the temple. Mr. Liang Sicheng praised the three treasures of Ying County, two of which are the Nine-Eyed Caisson and the disheveled stone lions of the Pure Land Temple. The pair of stone lions are relics from the Liao Dynasty, with unique shapes. Although damaged, their former beauty can still be seen. The Nine-Eyed Caisson in the hall is even more astonishing, with tens of thousands of small wooden strips and blocks forming heavenly pavilions, paired with the exquisite caisson, it feels like a fairyland.😍 🎈The golden September and silver October are the best times for worship. Visiting the Pure Land Temple during this period, you can feel the solemnity and tranquility. The Mahavira Hall is majestic and solemn, with a single-eaved hip roof, a gentle slope, and sparse dougong. The Buddha statues inside the hall are solemn, and the murals are exquisite, making people feel awe. Worshiping here, praying for peace and smoothness in life, the heart also becomes extraordinarily peaceful.🙏 💖Moreover, this place is actually the filming location for the Black Wukong myth! With the game's popularity, this originally low-key temple has become known to more people. The game's filming showcases the beauty of the ancient architecture of the Pure Land Temple in the virtual world, attracting many game enthusiasts to check in and experience the wonderful charm of the intersection of reality and virtuality.😎 🎊Dear friends, come to the Pure Land Temple in Ying County and experience its history and beauty in person. It will definitely not disappoint you.💗
