This ancient temple, which was built during the Sui Dynasty (598 AD), is really amazing! 🏯✨ Originally named Tiantai Temple, it was later renamed Guoqing Temple with the meaning of "If the temple is completed, the country will be peaceful". The name itself is full of the weight of history. 📜🏞️ As soon as you enter Guoqing Temple, it feels like you have traveled through time and space and returned to the Sui and Tang dynasties. The temple preserves many ancient monuments and trees handed down from the Sui and Tang dynasties, and each one is full of historical atmosphere. 🌳🕰️ Cliff carvings, inscriptions, Buddha statues, and Buddhist instruments, these precious cultural relics are dazzling, as if telling a thousand-year-old story. 🗿📖 Famous literati and scholars of all ages, such as Meng Haoran, Li Bai, and Xu Xiake, have also left their calligraphy here. These cultural treasures make Guoqing Temple not only a temple, but also a treasure house of history and culture. 🖋️🎨 Walking in the temple, you can seem to feel the breath of these literati and scholars, and their works are quietly waiting here for the appreciation and admiration of future generations. 📚🖼️ Every corner of Guoqing Temple is full of traces of history, and every stone and every tree tells stories of the past. 🪨🌲 This is not only a holy place of Buddhism, but also an intersection of history and culture, worthy of every traveler to visit. 🙏🌍 Today's trip made me deeply feel the weight of history and the charm of culture.
