Nuwa Temple.

Located in Jia Village, Dazhang Town, Huozhou City, Linfen, Shanxi Province, there is a Nuwa Temple built in the Ming Dynasty. The inscription in the temple does not record the specific time of its construction, but only mentions that it was renovated in the fourth year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1865). Nuwa Temple faces south. The existing buildings on the central axis include a stage and the Hall of Our Lady of Nuwa from south to north. On the east and west sides are wing rooms and bell and drum towers. The Notre Dame Hall is the main hall, and the main purpose of going here is to see the Qing Dynasty murals inside. There are currently four murals in the main hall of Nuwa Temple, located on the east and west walls and on both sides of the north wall, with a total area of ​​about 71 square meters. Due to cultural protection issues, use cold light sources to illuminate the murals as much as possible. Among them, the murals on the east and west walls are the largest, each covering about 25 square meters. From the inscription on the mural, it can be seen that the painting was painted during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It lists the names of the Fenxi County painters and oil painters who painted the mural at that time. In the west wall, Nuwa is arranging her hair accessories. There is a bearded man on the left side of the lower part of the picture. The elder, with attendants holding crowns in front and followers holding canopies and barriers behind, should be Emperor Fuxi. There are two thrones at the back of the picture, which should represent the two gods Nuwa and Fuxi. The east wall depicts the busy and lively scene in the palace when Nuwa entertained hundreds of officials. The figures with crowns on their heads, "three from the left and five from the right" at the bottom of the picture, should be the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors. The north wall shows the scene of maids preparing sacrifices, which is full of life. This time I went to Shanxi mainly to see the hanging sculptures and murals. Different from the hanging sculptures in Xiao Xitian, this one is a product of a later stage, and its appearance and charm are a little worse. However, if you are very interested in the content of the murals, it is still worth a look. . In addition, many scenic spots in Shanxi are not scenic spots, so in fact, they are cultural relic management types. They need a letter of introduction or find a guardian to protect the cultural relics management to open the door. Pay attention to communication skills. Otherwise it will be difficult to open the door!
