Wenshu Monastery is located in Qingyang District. It was first built in the Sui Dynasty. After being rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, it was called Wenshu Monastery. There are more than 300 Buddha statues of different sizes in the temple, made of various materials such as steel, yarn, wood carving, stone carving, and clay sculpture. Among them is a Burmese jade Buddha, which comes from Myanmar and is very precious.The five halls in the temple, including the Three Great Masters Hall, the Great Hall, the Dharma Hall, and the Sutra Library, are connected in sequence, and are integrated with the bell tower, the dining hall, and the corridors on the east and west sides, and are matched with other buildings to form a closed courtyard. There are also teahouses and a unique vegetarian restaurant "Xiangzhaitang" in the courtyard, making it a favorite leisure place for local residents.In addition, the temple also has a collection of many precious calligraphy and paintings since the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The most famous one is the "Empty Forest" plaque bestowed by Emperor Kangxi to Wenshu Monastery in 1702, and the banner "Sea Moon" by Emperor Kangxi imitating the Song Dynasty calligrapher Mi Fu. There are also Buddhist relics such as the skull of Master Xuanzang from the Tang Dynasty, the Indian palm leaf scriptures, and the Japanese gilded sutras from the Tang Dynasty. However, since they are precious cultural relics, it is rare for outsiders to see them. The Wenshuyuan Street in front of the Wenshuyuan has now been developed into the Wenshufang, known as the "urban Zen forest", with all antique buildings and many snacks still operating.
