Wencheng Princess Temple

Wencheng Princess Temple is in Yushu Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. It is said that this is the first stop after Princess Wencheng entered Tibet. The nearby Sun Moon Mountain depicts and records the beautiful legend of the marriage friendship of the Han and Tibetan people. It is a must-see place for the northwest tour around the Great Northwest.

The grand scene, the exquisite and delicate dance beauty, the stage arranged by Lhasa, is so real that even the cattle and sheep are on, when the actor rides the Hummer on the stage and flies past, the heart is shocking, maybe only in Lhasa can see such a stage scene, such a play, It's not a story anymore.

Today, in the second issue of "Knowledge of Culture and History", Hof's "Wencheng Princess Temple on Tangyu Ancient Road", a previous knowledge point error was corrected [covering face] People at first thought that the sculpture in the Princess Wencheng Temple was Princess Wencheng and her eight maids, but after examination, Knowing that the center is the big day Buddha, the upper left is Maitreya Buddha and the empty Tibetan, the lower left is the Tibetan Bodhisattva and Guanyin Bodhisattva, the upper right is the King Kong-Sustained Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva, the lower right is the Buddha said Wenshu Shili and the Bodhisattva.

Very worth a visit, must drive, in the ditch, there will be signs on the way from the airport to Yushu. The temple is very small. When I went there, I was renovating, but when I entered it, the smell of strong incense, especially heavy smell, made people feel the heavy history, a smell of avocado that only has a plateau. Surrounded by hanging paintings, I also saw a female monk of the Han nationality meditating and reading scriptures, devout. The door is full of yaks, yaks are also very docile, quietly eating grass, and there is no dispute with the world.
