This really opened my eyes!

[Cute][Cute][Cute]I visited the newly popular temple in Guangzhou, Baihua Ancient Temple, over the weekend and found a few puzzling things worth sharing: [One][RedHeart]Is it an imitation of Tang style or a transplant of Japanese style? Take a closer look at the eaves structure: the golden lotus pattern used on the eaves and the extensive use of cross-hip roofs in the building complex are indeed a rare combination. Coupled with the most controversial golden chimonanthus, it does remind people of Japanese temples. The official response was that the building was modeled after the Tang Dynasty, but opinions vary. [Two][RedHeart] Contemporary Reconstruction of the God of Wealth Universe The configuration on both sides of the Heavenly King Hall is confusing: ·Eastern Temple: God of Wealth (in the shape of Bigan) ·West God of Wealth Hall God of Wealth (similar to the statue of Liu Haichan, the God of Wealth in the Northwest) This design of transforming the Dharma Protector Hall into a "double God of Wealth pattern" coincides with the traffic code of contemporary temples - data shows that the amount of incense in God of Wealth halls is 17 times that of traditional halls. [Three][RedHeart] A visual feast of wood carving art Putting aside the controversy, the wooden Buddha statues and Thousand-Armed Guanyin in the Main Hall and Sutra Library are indeed exquisite! Large-scale three-dimensional wood carvings: magnificent, rich in details, and craftsmanship: integrating the essence of traditional Lingnan wood carvings. · Spatial experience: perfect combination of religious solemnity and artistic aesthetics. This part is the most worth-seeing highlight of the entire temple. It is recommended to bring a wide-angle lens to record these artistic treasures.
