Jingjue Temple, an ancient temple in Hebei, who says Tangshan has no ancient buildings

Jingjue Temple, as the only surviving ancient temple in the earthquake, is not well-known in Tangshan, but it is praised as the 'First Temple in Jingdong' in the world. Its stone carvings, wood carvings and brick carvings are unique. Its location is really remote, surrounded by villages and farmland for several kilometers. Jingjue Temple stands out like a crane among chickens... 🏯About the Temple Founded in the Tang Dynasty and rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, there are still some Ming Dynasty relics in the temple. After the Tangshan Earthquake, Jingjue Temple was very lucky to be preserved. 🌟Three Wonders ✅Beamless Hall ✅Xiangfu Palace Hanging Beam and Column ✅Coiled Dragon Stone Column 📸Highlights 👍Mountain Gate Hall: The breathtaking beamless hall, with nearly a hundred Buddha statues carved inside, looks like the Earth Temple transformed by Monkey King in 'Journey to the West'. 👍Archway: Said to be a Ming Dynasty building. 👍Xiangfu Palace: The ends of the bucket arches are carved with various animal reliefs, which seem to be the 12 Chinese zodiac signs, and the sparrow replacement is inlaid with the 'Eight Treasures of Buddhism'. 👍Dragon and Phoenix Gate Tower: Two dragons playing with a pearl on the dragon gate, and seven phoenixes facing the sun on the phoenix gate. 👍Rear Hall Coiled Dragon Stone Column: A small country temple dares to use a dragon stone column? Was it a royal temple before? I really don't understand. After visiting Jingjue Temple I really want to shout out loud to everyone Who says Tangshan has no ancient buildings‼️
