Experience the beauty of ancient Shanxi architecture | Rent Kongxiang photography equipment.

Speaking of ancient architecture, the beauty of glazed components is a must-see. ✅ Glazed components were used in the royal courtyards of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and are the facade of palace architecture, reflecting the majesty, solemnity, and style of the royal family. ✅ Shanxi, known as the "hometown of glazed art", is a major producer of glazed components in China. From architectural ridge decorations, shadow walls, archways, pavilions to pagodas, from seagull beaks weighing several tons to small animal pieces, the shadow of glazed components can be seen everywhere. ✅ Guangsheng Temple Feihong Tower, Zhangbi Ancient Castle Kongwangxing Temple's Ming Dynasty tricolor glazed components and peacock blue glazed components stele and Hou Tu Temple, Yuncheng Yongle Palace, etc. are all representative works of Shanxi ancient architecture!!!
