Fireworks at Daming Temple

On the day I went to Daming Temple, although it was already May, the weather was gloomy and cold, making me feel that my clothes were too thin. That day, the temple was holding some kind of religious ceremony, and the monks were lined up in the bustling temple, chanting scriptures. Standing inside the temple and looking at the Qiling Pagoda, one could feel a sense of antiquity. However, upon closer inspection of the building materials, this pagoda, like the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, has been rebuilt in modern times with a reinforced concrete structure. The Jianzhen Memorial Hall, although also a modern construction, has a layout and design worth appreciating. It was only after I returned home that I learned it was designed by Liang Sicheng, and indeed, the work of a master is distinctive.
