The kapok flowers are like flames amidst the ancient architecture of an old temple

Guangxiao Temple is the oldest and largest famous temple in South China, with a long history and deep connection to the Sixth Patriarch of Zen Buddhism, Huineng. The temple has three main features, including its connection to the Sixth Patriarch Huineng, the Sixth Patriarch Hall, and the historic buildings such as the Crore Hair Pagoda under the Bodhi tree, as well as numerous cultural relics and historical sites, which are of great value for the study of Chinese architectural history, Buddhist history, cultural history, and the history of cultural exchange between China and other countries. Guangxiao Temple, an ancient temple in an old town and city, blooms with red kapok flowers in spring. In the embrace of Guangxiao Temple, the kapok flowers burn passionately like monks, igniting their love for life and their dedication to faith. Their fragrance, like the chanting of the monks, conveys people's prayers for a beautiful life. Whenever the spring breeze blows, the kapok flowers sway in the wind, as if bringing warmth and strength to people.
