Shisi Temple, the filming location of Black Myth: Wukong - the most beautiful ancient temple in Zhejiang.

🍃In the rainy land of Zhejiang, ancient wooden buildings before the Yuan Dynasty are rare. The well-preserved Shisi Temple is a miracle. Let's walk into this ancient temple in the deep mountains, travel through time for a thousand years, and feel its quiet standing.🍃 🍃Outside the temple gate, the first thing that catches your eye is the 1,500-year-old Cryptomeria King. It used to be more than 50 meters high. Although it was only 28 meters high after being struck by lightning, its diameter is nearly 5 meters. The hollow shape of the trunk still makes people feel its vicissitudes and strength. The mountain gate is small and simple, with a thousand-year-old cypress standing on both sides, one towering into the sky, and the other lying outside the wall, with branches stretched out, which is thought-provoking. 🍃Shisi Temple is composed of a series of ancient buildings, including the mountain gate, Heart Sutra Bell Tower, Daxiong Hall, Sanqing Hall, Ma Xian Palace, Mei's Ancestral Hall, etc. These buildings were built in the tenth year of Shaoxing in the Song Dynasty (1140) and were originally the tomb huts of the fifth son of the Mei family. In the sixteenth year of Yuan Zhi (1356), the Shisi Taoist Temple was established, and the Daxiong Hall retained a large number of original components from the Song and Yuan Dynasties. The Heart Sutra Bell Tower was built in the Ming Dynasty. The all-wooden tenon-and-mortise structure and the bucket arch joints show the exquisite craftsmanship of ancient Chinese architecture. The nearby Ma Xian Palace is a Qing Dynasty building, with several generations living together, showing the architectural style of the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. 🍃The interior of the main hall is not painted, mainly in brown and white, which is solemn and solemn. Even in late autumn, you can still see the growth of moss in the hall. If it is the rainy season in spring and summer, the moss marks are even more green on the steps. Here, every inch of moss seems to be telling the story of history.
