There is a mysterious underground palace hidden in Shanxi

Even though I have visited Shanxi many times But there are still many mysteries worth exploring here For example, do you know There is also a mysterious underground palace in Shanxi🏯 📍In the basement of Taishan Longquan Temple There is a palace, magnificent and magnificent✨ Once you enter, it feels like you have really entered the "Imperial Palace" This Tang Dynasty pagoda underground palace was discovered on May 8, 2008. The most amazing thing is The five-layer treasure box that "hides" 23 Buddha relics🔥 From stone coffins, wooden coffins, bronze coffins, silver coffins, to the last golden coffins Each layer is extremely exquisite Especially the bow on the golden coffin🎀 In order not to destroy the cultural relics Experts waited 12 years Only when the technology is mature can it be successfully opened✅ 1️⃣Figure 5: The stone casket is made of sandstone and is in the shape of a rectangular block, about 60 cm long, 50 cm wide and 60 cm high. It is made up of a casket cover and a casket body that are fastened together, and is engraved with the names of the donors. 2️⃣ Figure 6 and Figure 7: The wooden coffin is decorated with copper, and the surrounding area is inlaid with gilded copper ornaments such as Buddha's feet, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise, and door knockers with rings in their mouths. 3️⃣Figure 8 and Figure 9: The gilded bronze coffin is about 20 cm long, 100 cm wide and 15 cm high. The lower part is exquisitely carved on a gilded bronze Sumeru pedestal. There is a pointed arc-shaped door in the front, and the lintel and door frame are decorated with beads. There is a Vermilion Bird inlaid above the door, and two disciple statues stand on both sides of the door. There is a Black Tortoise inlaid on the top of the back and Buddha's feet inlaid on the bottom. The left and right sides of the bronze coffin are inlaid with Azure Dragon and White Tiger, and there are two rings on each side of the coffin lid. 4️⃣Figure 10: The silver coffin is about 13 cm long, 6 cm wide and 7 cm high, inlaid with pearls and more than a hundred gems of various colors, with a Sumeru pedestal underneath. Like the wooden coffin and bronze coffin, the four sides are inlaid with Buddha's feet, Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise and decorations such as door knockers. The front is a pointed arc door with a door frame decorated with beads. The door is inlaid with three rows of twelve door nails and a pair of door knockers. In front of the door stands a crane and two Bodhisattvas with sad demeanors. 5️⃣Figure 11, Figure 12, and Figure 13: The golden coffin is about 8 cm long, 5 cm wide, and 3 cm high. It is tied with a silk ribbon and tied with a bow. It is golden and exquisitely crafted. The underground palace of Longquan Temple is magnificent and magnificent✨ The bronze statue of the reclining Buddha looks peaceful The surrounding murals and the ceiling are all made of copper. It is indeed a mysterious underground palace made of 65 tons of brass. Could this be the legendary "Buddhist Paradise"? Today, people pass through this Buddhist temple Feel the prosperity of the ancient city of Jinyang during the heyday of the Tang Dynasty And cultural relics have also passed through time Come and meet the future generations 🌈
