Taiyuan's Buer Temple, the colored statues from the Jin Dynasty in the main hall are too beautiful

Buer enters the old Although there is no second, it is not one The abbot of Buer Temple in Taiyuan is not an ordinary person. He is proficient in Buddhism and has a deep understanding of ancient architecture. He has visited ancient sites all over Shanxi with Mr. Liang Sicheng since he was a child. The abbot kindly learned that I came here from a long distance to visit the ancient sites. Not only did he introduce me to the colored statues of the Jin Dynasty and the murals of the Yuan and Ming Dynasties in Buer Temple, but he also allowed me to visit the 'forbidden area' that declined to visit, the Great Buddha Hall. The small Buer Temple has a big universe. From the moment I saw the Chiwen on the roof of the Jin Dynasty, I knew that Buer Temple was extraordinary 🏯About Buer Temple Only the last Great Buddha Hall is a relic of the Jin Dynasty, and the abbot said it was moved from other places. There are 9 colored statues and several murals in the hall. There have been three major repairs in history, namely the Five Dynasties, Song and Jin 📸Highlights: ✅Colored Buddha statues: The statues in the main hall of the Jin Dynasty are Buddha statues from the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, Huayan Three Saints (Sakyamuni, Manjusri, Samantabhadra) + Kasyapa Anan + two Bodhisattvas + two Vajra Protectors, and a Hu person leading a lion ✅Murals: 'Three Saints of the East' on the east wall, and 'Three Saints of the West' corresponding to the west wall 📌tips: Buer Temple is in Yangqu County, far away from Taiyuan city. The Great Buddha Hall is a 'forbidden area' that declines to visit. It is almost not open to the public. Even Buer Temple itself is only open on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and there is also a lunch break. Usually, the gate is closed tightly. It is said that Shanxi is seen on the ground, but visiting the ancient is all about fate. You can try your luck on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month during the Spring Festival
