Ancient architecture enthusiasts are shocked, this is the ancient architecture group of Jinzhou Guangji Temple

Guangji Temple ancient architecture group is located in the west corner of Laocheng North Street, Guta District, Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province. Da Guangji Temple, also known as Dafo Temple, was built in the Liao Dynasty according to the Ming Dynasty stele in the temple. It was destroyed by war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and was rebuilt many times after the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. The entire temple complex of Guangji Temple is compact, including Guangji Temple, Guangji Temple Pagoda, Jinzhou Tianhou Palace and Yijun Zhaizhong Shrine. It is the most complete tower and temple combined architecture in the western Liaoning region. The buildings inside look quite old, the wood carvings of the brackets and doors are mottled, and most of the patterns and stories depicted are blurred and invisible. The most shocking thing is the auspicious animal on the bracket in the first picture. I don't know how to call it because of my shallow knowledge. It feels alive, agile, panting, and about to burst out in the next second. Jinzhou Liao Tower is located in front of Da Guangji Temple and is a provincial cultural relic in Liaoning. According to the Ming Jiajing stele (written by Xuan Da patrol envoy Wen Gui), Gao Lin, a Zhongjing Grand Master of the Jin Dynasty, once wrote a 'Tower Record' saying that the tower was built in the third year of Liao Daozong Qingning (1057) to collect the relics of the queen. The tower is a brick solid heart dense eaves style, now 57 meters high. The tower body has eight sides, each side is carved with a Buddha, three treasure covers and two flying sky. The flying sky is soaring above, the Buddha is sitting in the niche, and the attendants are standing next to the niche. The tower eaves have thirteen layers, each corner originally had nanmu beams, supporting the eaves corners, and hanging copper bells, most of which have fallen off, and only 11 are left in the northwest corner. The top of the tower was knocked down by the Ming army with a cannon during the Yongle period. The brick carvings of beams, columns, brackets and decorations on the tower have also mostly fallen off. The tower base was repaired with green bricks in 1933.
