❤️About Longju Temple:
Carved beams and painted rafters, wooden dragons winding around, hence the name Longju Temple. It is said to have been built by the eighth ancestor of Zen Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, Master Mazu Dao. The main hall was rebuilt during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There are 10 murals painted in the second year of Chenghua in the Ming Dynasty (1466) on the four walls of the hall. The murals depict the twelve round enlightened bodhisattvas, along with disciples, protectors, and donors.

Because of a photo of the Vajra pillar
Found this unattended but historical and genuine ancient temple. Even the monument for cultural relics protection was erected in 1956.
Longju Ancient Temple is the largest Buddhist temple in Guanghan City with a reasonable layout, complete functions, unique murals, many jade Buddhas, many pagodas, and unique characteristics. It was listed as a national key cultural relics protection unit in 2012. Longju Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty, originally for Emperor Li Shimin's war tea station for the eighth ancestor of Buddhism, Master Mazu Dao, and was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty,
Except for the main hall built in the Ming Dynasty,
The rest of the ancient buildings are from the Qing Dynasty, and there are also many newly built halls in modern times
1. The main hall of the Ming Dynasty has been enclosed and is not open to the public. I saw the introduction outside the hall saying that the Ming Dynasty murals inside. The master of traditional Chinese painting, Zhang Daqian, visited Longju Temple to admire the Ming Dynasty murals, praising them as "having the style of Dunhuang murals".
2. Vajra pillar:
This image is a foreigner who followed the Tang Dynasty Master Mazu Dao, who was very strong and didn't talk much, and looked mighty
When building the scripture tower, a wooden pillar accidentally fell and broke a section,
At the critical moment, the foreigner stepped forward and held it up with his hand, and the merit was completed, so there is this image of Vajra with angry eyes.
3. Tree house on the ancient tree: The ancient trees in the temple are towering, the canopy is like a cover, witnessing the millennium vicissitudes of Longju Temple!
