Jingxin Temple

The key national cultural relics protection unit is worth a visit. The building atmosphere, the sculpture murals are great, and the art is very worth a visit. Call the administrator uncle to open the door from the field. The Tang Dynasty was built, and most of the Ming Dynasty cultural relics are being repaired. I hope to repair the old as old.

Jingxin Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, and there are Tang monuments in the temple. The existing buildings are all in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which are very complete. The front wall is illuminated, and the birds at the small gates of the east and west are carved for the five blessings. The front yard is very large, and the ground in the yard is clean. It is estimated that the cultural security staff often clean it. First of all, we saw the beautifully built backstage, the most beautiful is the wooden carving on the stage. The head of the Ang Tsui is the carved dragon head, the bird is the carved wooden carving of the two dragons, and the cross beam is the carving of the Tang lion. The eight-character type of row-house shadow wall on both sides, single-shape rest on the top of the mountain, wrote "God listens to peace" on the top of the scorpion, the word is cast with raw copper, very delicate.

❤ Recommended reason: Jingxin Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, and there are two Tang monuments in the temple. The existing buildings are in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with medium scale and standard "day" layout. No mountain gate, front wall, from the side door access, the front yard is spacious, there is a beautiful eight-character stage on the back, the wooden structure is exquisite, the left and right row of halls, the center of the hall has a bell and drum tower, which makes the skyline of the front yard more abundant; a large hall in the backyard, a series of halls on both sides. The glazed tiles of Jingxin Temple use precious peacock blue color, peacock blue burning technology has been lost, this color in Jinzhong cultural relics are many, and other places are difficult to see. The "hair whale" and "habiting glaze" of the Bell and Drum Tower are the best glazes of the Ming Dynasty, and the "God listens to peace" on the stage is the bronze casting of the Qing Dynasty Daoguang years. There are more than a dozen ancient monuments in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Among them, a large number of merchant names can be seen on the stone monuments of the Qing Dynasty donated funds to repair the temple, with distinctions such as numbers, halls, silver, Dang, factories, bureaus, etc., showing the prosperity of Jinzhong business at that time. 🌟 Highlights: The courtyard has fourteen temples in the two courtyards. The central axis is arranged from south to north, the stage, the hall, the hall. The stage to the hall is the front yard, and the east and west are equipped with the pavilion, the white clothes hall, the gray spring hall, the bell and drum tower, and the temple of the heavenly king. After the hall, the hall is the backyard. The backyard is the backyard. The backyard is the backyard. The rear hall is on both sides of the Guangong Hall, Chengshan Temple. The architectural layout is rigorous, reasonable, and unreliable, majestic and magnificent. In addition, the temple is preserved with 78 sq. ft. of Ming and Qing colors, 180 square meters of murals, Tang monuments and Ming Temples are treasures. The stone inscriptions are arranged on the north and south central axis, with stage, Pilu Palace and Daxiong Palace. The front yard is symmetrical on both sides of the white clothes palace, gray spring palace, bell and drum tower, and the temple of the heavenly king. The backyard has a monument corridor, Guanyin Bodhisattva Palace, and the Tibetan Bodhisattva Palace. There are three rooms in the east and west ear rooms of the main hall. The whole building, the layout is rigorous, the style is simple and dignified.

Shanxi is known as the "holy place" of ancient wooden structure buildings in China. In the ancient buildings scattered in all corners of the province, if you want to be in the "national security", you must have two conditions: or the scale is huge, the building is complicated and exquisite; or the color plastics, murals, etc. are well preserved. The Jingxin Temple, founded in the first year of Tang Kaiyuan (714 AD), is one of the excellent representatives of both. Jingxin Temple is located on a platform about 10 kilometers east of Taigu County, Shanxi Province, which is also the site of Taigu Ancient City in the Wei and Jin Dynasty. The entire temple hall is in different shapes, and the temple pavilions cover more than 3,600 square meters. It is worth mentioning that behind the wall of Jingxin Temple is a reverse opera building, with no main entrance in the middle, which is very rare in domestic temples. Shanxi is the birthplace of glaze, the world has the saying of "Jindi glaze all over the world". It is built in the Bell and Drum Tower between the east and west of Jingxin Temple and the temple, all of which are covered with glaze and are exquisitely constructed. The glazed plaque hanging under the front armpit was burned in the Ming Dynasty. The book "Whale Drum" and "Yanqi", exquisite calligraphy and excellent craftsmanship, has been included in the "China glazed grand view". The stage on the south side of the front courtyard is rebuilt in Qingdao light for four years. It is one of the main buildings of Jingxin Temple. The whole stage is covered with peacock blue glass, carved beams and painted buildings, extremely gorgeous, and the "God listens to peace" under the stage for a living copper casting, very delicate. The most amazing thing is the eight-character shadow wall on both sides of the stage, composed of multiple layers of dense wooden bucket arches, which are very rare in the national stage. In Shanxi, where the ancient temples of Tang and Song Dynasty are gathered, Jingxin Temple is not ancient, but it is presented with a complete image of the temple and still plays the role of missionary function. In the temple hall, there are still more than 100 statues of color and plastic in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, of which there are about 70 intact. Every first and fifteenth day, the village believers gather here to burn incense and pray for blessings, which can be described as "living cultural relics". According to the county record, Jingxin Temple was originally a Nero, and was later changed to a monastery, so some female statues are served in the temple. Especially the "open mouth dewy breast statue" worshipped in the front yard of the Niangniang Temple, breaking through the stereotypes of the general Buddhist statue, and displaying romantic colors in an open way, which is extremely rare in Chinese temples. In addition to color plastic, the temples of Jingxin Temple also keep 180 square meters of exquisite Ming and Qing Dynasty murals, these murals are all using Ming-style brush painting method, inheriting the legacy of Tang and Song Dynasty, the content is popular since the Yuan Dynasty "land and water painting", Buddha, Tao, Confucian three religions mixed into one, coloring well, lifelike, It is a masterpiece of the Ming and Qing murals. The Ming and Qing Dynasties, murals, Tang monuments and other monuments preserved by Jingxin Temple are treasures, but due to the remote location, few people still know its existence, even if many villagers in the next village do not know, the temple has been preserved in its original flavor to this day.

The temple worth watching, the real Yuan Ming and Qing architectural style, the murals are exquisite.
