Henan | One of the three major ordination platforms in the country and the ordination center for monks - Hui Shan Temple

❤Recommended reason: Hui Shan Temple was built during the period of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty (471-499). Hui Shan Temple was originally the palace of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Yuan Hong, and the Idle Residence Temple was rebuilt in the first year of Zhengguang (520). After the demise of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it became a place for Buddhist activities. During the Kaihuang period of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty named it Hui Shan Temple. 👍Most recommended: When Wu Zetian visited Songshan, she visited the high monk Daoan at Hui Shan Temple and called him the old national teacher. Later, Monk Yixing and Xuantong created the Liuli ordination platform at Hui Shan Temple, making it one of the three major ordination platforms in the country and the ordination center for monks at that time. 🌟Highlight features: The most historically and culturally valuable part of Hui Shan Temple is the Great Hall of the Yuan Dynasty. The Great Hall is five rooms wide and three rooms deep, with a single eave and a mountain gray tube tile green glazed tile cut edge top. There is a large bracket set under the eaves of the hall, and the interior of the hall is made of reduced columns. The front of the hall is a partition door, and the remaining four rooms are all partitioned windows, and the back is a panel door. 👍Most recommended: Due to the long age, the color on the beam is mottled and most of the surface has fallen off. In 2004, when repairing the Great Hall of Hui Shan Temple, in order to restore its historical appearance, after supplementing the lost bracket set according to the old system, the dragon and phoenix pictures were taken down and displayed in the hall.
