Previously, I saw a post by Aita Chuanqi about the tragic state of the Hall of Xingguo Temple in Dongqingshan Village, Yangqu County, and I have been thinking about seeing this old building from the Ming Dynasty with my own eyes. Following the navigation, I found a small square in the village. After passing through a dilapidated gate, I saw the hall. The first thing I saw was the peacock blue glazed tiles on the roof of the hall, which looked particularly eye-catching under the blue sky and white clouds. But before I could admire it more, I was saddened by the severely deformed eaves. The hall has such beautiful roof brackets, but the eaves are so deformed and on the verge of collapse. It's a pity. It feels like an old man who was once glorious in his youth, but now he is old and sick, and no one cares. I hope someone will pay more attention to it in the future and not let it disappear.

The Xiqingshan Brick Pagoda, also known as the Jin Si Master Pagoda, is located north of Xiqingshan Village in Nitun Town, Yangqu County, Taiyuan City, and is situated in an orchard north of the village. It is a cultural relic protection unit in Yangqu County. The Xiqingshan Brick Pagoda was built during the Yuan Dynasty and is a hexagonal five-story brick pagoda. The base and first story account for almost half of the pagoda's height, and there is a niche in the center of the south side with a blue stone pagoda inscription, indicating that it was first built in the second year of the Yuan Yanyou period (1315). The second and higher stories are built in a dense eaves style imitating wooden structures, with the top of the central pagoda inscription of the Xiqingshan Brick Pagoda horizontally engraved with large characters reading "Reconstruction of Longhua Zen Temple," indicating that the original temple was called Longhua Zen Temple, first built during the Longhua period of the Northern Qi Dynasty (576), but it no longer exists. The large characters vertically engraved in the center of the pagoda inscription read "Abbot Successor Sramana Jin Si Great Zen Master Wen Hui Shou," indicating that it is the longevity pagoda of Master Jin Si. On the right side of the Xiqingshan Pagoda inscription is a poem titled "Farewell to the Public" which reads: "A hundred years of Longhua rebuilt again, nine joys as a palace for Shakyamuni and Brahma, today I turn around and leave, a clear breeze rises from the eight sides of the staff. More than thirty years without leisure, the cause and practice are not sealed." On the left side of the Xiqingshan Pagoda inscription are the names of the people who built the pagoda and erected the inscription, as well as the date. In front of the Xiqingshan Brick Pagoda is the site of the former Longhua Zen Temple. The pagoda was stolen in recent years, leaving a theft hole.

I heard that there is a Tie Mao Temple in Shanxi. This time I visited Shanxi and visited the Meow Meow Church Headquarters: Tie Mao Temple for our three cats. · Tie Mao Temple is located in Dayu Village, Dayu Town, Yangqu County, Taiyuan City. It is named Tie Mao Temple because it enshrines iron cats. The original temple has been destroyed, and only one iron cat statue stands on the high platform. It is said that this iron cat was stolen, and there are still many legends about iron cats in the village... · According to the inscription, the iron cat was cast in the 14th year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (1535). The craftsmanship is exquisite and superb. It has been exposed to the sun and rain for hundreds of years, and there is still no rust, and the light can be dazzling. It is said that after the temple was destroyed, someone built a house for the iron cat and put it in the house, but rust spots appeared in a few days, so they had to dismantle the house and put it on the open platform, and the rust spots disappeared, which was surprising. · The reason for casting iron cats is said to be to guard the rat spirits on the Rat Mountain in the north of Dayu Village. The direction of the iron cat should be the Rat Mountain. Like the iron lion statue, the iron cat originally had one male and one female. Now the male iron cat does not know where it is. There is a female iron cat left here, and there is a kitten under her belly. 🐱, cute. · An iron cat park was built around the iron cat statue, and it was locked when we went. Waiting outside the courtyard wall for a long time, I thought I couldn't go in to see the iron cat, and suddenly found that the phone was left at the door. I called the cultural relic officer, and soon two enthusiastic sisters came to open the door by electric car, and did some farm work in the yard by the way. · 📍Location: Dayu Village, Dayu Town, Yangqu County, Taiyuan City 🎫Tickets: None · There is nothing to see in the Tie Mao Temple except for the iron cat statue, but it is located between Taiyuan and Xinzhou, and the driving time from Taiyuan City and Xinzhou City is about 40 minutes, so you can check in ✅️. It's a pity that the Iron Cat Park is locked and not open daily. There may be too many cultural relics in Shanxi, and such a county-level cultural relic protection unit does not have time and energy to manage. But if you tidy up the Tie Mao Temple, come out with some iron cat peripherals, pet blessing activities, and attract the majority of shovel officers to come to this "Meow Meow Church Headquarters" to check in, that would be great!

Price [Love] Event 399 Double Ticket Route [Love] After arriving in Taiyuan, I chose to take the subway to Taiyuan Fantawild. After coming out of the subway station, I followed the signs for a few minutes and arrived at the park entrance.

Epcot Theme Area [Love] There are many high-tech amusement facilities here, such as VR experience, flight simulators, etc. I tried the VR experience and it was very shocking, as if I was in another world.

A temple was built for a cat, worth a meow. This is a place I've passed by many times, and every time I see 'Iron Cat Temple' on the navigation, I wonder what kind of temple it is. This time, I finally went to visit! This is the Iron Cat Temple, located in Dayu Village, Dayu Town, Yangqu County, Taiyuan City, named for the iron cat standing on a high platform, hence the name 'Iron Cat Temple'. The temple has now been completely destroyed, leaving only the solitary 'Iron Cat'. According to the inscriptions, the iron cat was cast in the 14th year of the Jiajing era of the Ming Dynasty (1535), with exquisite craftsmanship. After being exposed to the sun and rain for over 460 years, its surface shows no signs of rust and can reflect light brightly. It is said that after the temple was destroyed, someone built a shelter for the iron cat and placed it inside, but rust spots appeared after a few days, so they had to dismantle the shelter and put it back on the open platform, where the rust spots disappeared, to everyone's surprise. Under the belly of the iron cat, there is a kitten suckling, whose naive and adorable appearance contrasts sharply with the vigilant mother cat. However, the sunlight was direct that day, and I didn't get a clear picture of the kitten. Why did Dayu Village cast an iron cat? And why was it erected outside the village? There is a popular legend here. Legend has it that in the past, there was a Mouse Mountain to the north of Dameng Village, where a rat spirit as big as a cow appeared, causing daily damage to crops and livestock, to the great harm of the villagers, who were helpless. One day, a wandering Taoist came by, and after hearing about this strange event, suggested that since rats are naturally afraid of cats, they should cast an iron cat to guard the place, and the rat spirit would no longer dare to come out. After saying this, the Taoist drew a picture of an iron cat. The villagers immediately raised funds and asked a skilled blacksmith to cast a male and a female iron cat according to the drawing. The male iron cat was taken away by the Taoist and its whereabouts are unknown to this day. The female iron cat was erected on a brick platform outside the village facing Mouse Mountain, and since then, the rat spirit indeed no longer dared to show its face. Over time, the rat spirit, scared and starved, died on the mountain. Today, there is a sharp ridge on the mountain, which is the spine of the rat spirit. Since then, the iron cat has been regarded as a charm against rats, facing Mouse Mountain, and permanently erected on a high platform. At the beginning of the new century, the iron cat also experienced the cruelty of theft, but fortunately, it was recovered intact and still stands in the village, protecting the villagers. Compared to the Iron Lion of Cangzhou, which has been disfigured by various experts, this Iron Cat is truly very fortunate.

|A small but high-quality scenic spot nearby Taiyuan, Shanxi. Many people still have the impression of coal bosses and the vast dusty land of Shanxi. In recent years, many forest parks with lush greenery have sprung up around Taiyuan. Today I recommend a high-quality niche place hidden in the mountains and forests. Friends from Taiyuan, Shanxi should not miss it. Scenery: 1 You can see green forests along the way, and there are also broad views from high altitudes. 2. You will also pass by several typical Shanxi mountain villages along the way, which are quite distinctive. 3. Of course, the most worthwhile thing is the attic located on a hilltop. It is a three-story wooden tower building with a spiral iron staircase in the middle that leads to the second and third floors. The entire loft overlooks the Taiyuan Fenhe Second Reservoir from a high vantage point, with a panoramic view of the mountains, waters and sky, and it is an excellent spot to watch the sunset. Location: Map navigation location Shanxi Taiyuan Loft Transportation: The roads along the way are hardened and you can drive, take a taxi or ride a bike to get there. Time: About 1 hour by car from Taiyuan city. Notes: 1. The road into the mountain has many bends, many ups and downs, and the road is narrow, so please control your speed when driving. 2. There are many motorcycles running on the mountain along the way, so self-driving drivers should pay attention to safety along the way. 3 If you go down the mountain after dark and there are no street lights along the mountain road, control your speed when driving at night.

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

Qinglong Town is located in Houcun Township, adjacent to Yangqu County and Jiancaoping District of Taiyuan, close to National Highway 208 and Dayun Expressway. It was an important town in ancient northern China and a necessary route to go to Xikou. It has been rated as a national traditional ancient village and one of the top ten new scenic spots in the province. The culture of Qinglong Ancient Town has a long history. The original name of Qinglong Ancient Town was Jinghaozui. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Wang Shengzhong (born in the eighth year of Qianlong), a member of the Wang clan in the village, donated a million taels of silver to the Qing Dynasty. The royal family compensated him with a plaque of "Baiwan Shengzhong" and a large flag embroidered with the pattern of "Qinglong", implying that the Manchu and Han people were one family. Since then, Jinghaozui has been renamed Qinglong Town. But another theory is that the whole mountain shape and direction of Qinglong Town is quite like a flying dragon, hence the name. It is said that in 1900, Empress Dowager Cixi came to Qinglong Ancient Town and stayed in the embroidered building where Wang Shichang's daughter lived, also known as "Official Hat Building". At that time, Empress Dowager Cixi was eating millet rice and authentic old pickles and couldn't stop praising them. The Empress Dowager's fragrant millet from Yangqu County was also named after this. This can be said to be half of the history of Jin merchants in Qinglong Town. The ancient town now mainly focuses on antique, primitive, and natural. Many original ecological villages are in sight, such as stone mills, water wheels, rollers, teams, supply and marketing cooperatives. The development of culture and entertainment is also very rapid. The immersion experience of tourists will be better. It is also recommended that everyone can look down on the ancient town from a high place, and it is a different scenery.
