The top of the mountain rests with a single eaves, the roof of the hall is covered with tubes and slab tiles, and the eaves are inlaid with green glaze. The building is magnificent.
The algae well in the hall is surrounded by golden dragons, with beautiful shape and fine composition. It is the material material for studying the architecture of Jin Dynasty.

[Scenery] The scenery in spring is a bit monotonous, with few colors [Interesting] It's good to come to worship the Buddha Hall and make a wish [Value for money] The price/performance ratio is good, it is worth it, the elderly and children can come

The temple is 100 meters away from the east side of the Wooden Pagoda Scenic Area in Yingxian County. I visited it during my morning run. The area is very small. There are only the Daxiong Hall, the Left Dizang Hall and the Right Guanyin Hall. There is a cypress tree in the courtyard. It's a pity that we didn't open the door so early that we couldn't see the inside. Worth a visit without tickets.

The Daxiong Hall is the main hall of the whole temple. It is the original artifact of the Jin Dynasty. It has three rooms each in width and depth. It has a single eaves on the top of the mountain and is decorated with colored glaze. It is also an original artifact of the Jin Dynasty. , into the main hall, only to see the real chapter. The plane of the main hall is square, with a bucket-shaped ceiling on the top. Nine grids are divided by beams, and nine caissons are made respectively. The Douba caisson in the middle is the largest and most exquisite. All are small wood carvings, and the rest of the buckets, six buckets and four caissons are supplemented by mixed gold paintings. When Mr. Liang Sicheng saw it, he was amazed and praised again and again. He said that the caisson of the Tiangong Pavilion in Jingtu Temple is exquisite in conception, subtly subtle, exquisite and meticulous, and is a national treasure. , Resplendent and resplendent, eight gates and nine stars and heavenly palaces and pavilions, no matter star eaves, bucket arches, kissing beasts, railings, the components are exquisite and exquisite, and the specifications and techniques vary. It is really a classic work of small woodwork. Because the Jingtu Temple was first built in the later Tang and Five Dynasties, it was originally the family temple of Emperor Mingzong Li Siyuan, so there are dragons and phoenixes in the colorful paintings on both sides of the caisson, with the dragon on the left and the phoenix on the right, and men and women stand on one side during sacrifices. Perhaps it is not a difficult problem to carve Tiangong and pavilions in miniature, and perhaps it is not a problem to cover the bucket-type caisson, but the Tiangong and pavilions carved with tens of thousands of small wooden blocks are placed in the bucket-type caisson, which is the same for thousands of years and unique in the world. , the world is amazed. The existing murals in the hall are said to be repainted in the Qing Dynasty. The artistic style is similar to the statues in the Qianfo Pavilion of Chongfu Temple. What is unexpected is that there is a treasure in the corner of the main hall. Mr. Liang Sicheng said in the past that a pair of stone lions in front of the gate of Jingtu Temple have "disheveled hair". They are unique in shape and exquisite in carving. They are rare in the country. In front of the Daxiong Palace, there is another strange object, two and a half stupas, with a brass pagoda on the top, which is so strange. It is said that these two remnants were dug out from the ground, and they were not adjacent to each other. Later generations stacked them together to make a new Tasha as a commemoration. According to historical records, the surviving Shari Pagoda is 35 years earlier than the Sakyamuni Pagoda. Unfortunately, it is not what it used to be. The Jingtu Temple still has an ancient bell hanging in the air. Obviously, it has been through hundreds of years of wind and rain. When I walked out of the Jingtu Temple, I couldn’t help but look back several times. The dilapidated and desolate surroundings made my heart ache. The drop is huge, besides, the wooden pagoda has been obviously skewed, and the grand pure land temples of that year have disappeared, only the Daxiong Hall is left. The magnificent palaces and pavilions inside are still intact, and the pair of stone lions with disheveled hair are also seriously damaged. A hundred years later, our children and grandchildren can still be proud of it.
