In Haodong Village, about 15 kilometers northeast of Pingyao County, there is an ancient temple built in the seventh year of Tianhui (963) in the Northern Han Dynasty—Zhenguo Temple, which was rebuilt in the 21st year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1816). Among the wooden structure buildings, Zhenguo Temple in Pingyao is only later than the Nanchan Temple and Foguang Temple in Wutai Mountain. It is one of the ancient wooden structure buildings in my country. The area of ​​Zhenguo Temple is not large. The important building is the main hall on the central axis, also known as the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. The cornice of the main hall is nearly 2 meters. The wooden structure of the Five Dynasties (907-960) period. In the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, you can see 14 precious statues, 11 of which are statues from the Five Dynasties period. Although thousands of years have passed, these statues are still brightly colored and are masterpieces of ancient sculpture art. Among these statues, it is peculiar to have four offering bodhisattvas. Among them, two seated statues are tightly clad, with plump cheeks, sitting peacefully on the lotus platform; the other two supporting Bodhisattvas stand casually on one side, with plump bodies and beautiful "S" curves, giving people an unrestrained feeling. The unique femininity of ancient women, this form is completely different from the majestic and upright Bodhisattva image in traditional concepts, and looks more like a graceful dancing girl. There is an iron bell from the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234) in the middle building in front of the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas. It is said that the sound of the iron bell can reach Pingyao City dozens of miles away. In the Hall of Three Buddhas behind the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas, the walls are covered with murals of Buddhist stories from the Ming Dynasty, which are delicate and vivid.
