Shuozhou Chongfu Temple

Originally, I went to visit the ancient city of Xinzhou, which is known as the most honest scenic spot. I also came to Shuozhou to see Chongfu Temple. Many ancient temples in Shanxi are not well-known. Black Wukong brought many ancient buildings. When the locals heard that they were going to see Chongfu Temple, they all laughed and said: We are tired of it. The ticket price is 30 yuan now, but it was free before. However, it is still necessary to charge tickets for the maintenance of ancient buildings. There are not many people in the morning or at noon. Chongfu Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty. The existing Amitabha Hall and Guanyin Hall of the Jin Dynasty are the focus. The Amitabha Hall is the focus, with a large plaque, 9 colorful Buddha statues, and 3 murals, most of which are from the Jin Dynasty. What is more worth seeing are its "Five Wonders": 1⃣ Colored Glaze. The ridge beasts and gargoyles on the roof are original from the Jin Dynasty. 2⃣Plaque. The 4.2-meter-high plaque with a Chinese pattern made in the 24th year of the Jin Dynasty (1184) looks magnificent even from the outside of the palace 3⃣Window lattice The doors and windows retain the original ancient architecture of the Jin Dynasty, with a total of 15 different patterns. 4⃣Backlit colored sculpture. The Buddha statue is backlit, and the colored sculptures are intricate and exquisite 5⃣Murals, most of which are from the Jin Dynasty You can also take a look at the stone tablets in the yard, which have epitaphs, records of reconstruction, and donation details A wave in the long river of history may be the life of an ancient person
