Chongfu Temple - China Travel

introduce

Chongfu Temple, commonly known as the "big temple", is located on the north side of East Street in Shuocheng District. It is one of the three existing Liao and Jin Buddhist temples in my country. It was first built in the second year of Tang Linde (665), and it was built by Yu Chi Jingde, the Duke of E, under the imperial edict.

The temple sits north and faces south, with five entrances and ten halls in the courtyard. The primary and secondary are distinct, the layout is strict, and the total area of the grand building is 23,520 square meters.

The main hall of Chongfu Temple is the Amitabha Hall, which was built in the third year of Jin Xizong's reign (1143) and has a history of more than 800 years. Under the front eaves of the hall, there is a vertical plaque of "Amitabha Hall", which is the 20th anniversary of Jin Dading. Four years (1184) of the original. In order to expand the internal space and increase the space for the location of the Buddhist altar and the location of the Buddha, the method of reducing and shifting columns is a bold innovation in the history of Chinese architecture. Amitabha Hall is the essence of the whole temple, especially famous for its "Five Wonders".

Chongfu Temple is located on the north side of East Street in the Old City, Shuocheng District, Shuozhou City, Shanxi Province. Founded in the second year of Linde in the Tang Dynasty, it was built by the general of the Tang Dynasty, a native of Shuozhou, and Wei Chi Jingde, the Duke of E. In the Liao Dynasty, the temple was changed to Lin Taishi's government office, and later changed to a temple, named Lin Ya Temple. During the reign of Emperor Xizong of the Jin Dynasty, the temple was expanded and large-scale construction was carried out. In the second year of Tiande in the Jin Dynasty (1150 A.D.), Wan Yanliang, King Hailing of the Jin Dynasty, inscribed "Chongfu Temple" on the temple until now.

The architectural scale of Chongfu Temple is majestic. Since the Tang Dynasty, it has gone through changes. The buildings, murals and sculptures in the temple are well preserved. It has high artistic value and ornamental significance. Opposite the Mayi Museum, next to the Ancient City Wall Park, is also a good place to visit.
