Yuanjiao Sizhuanta

The temple is very defeated and is not open to the outside world. The back wall of the temple is half collapsed, and the tower can be seen directly. Close to Yong'an Temple, another national treasure-level cultural relics unit, the latter is well repaired and tickets are open.

The brick tower of Yuanjue Temple was found when visiting the ancient city of Hunyuan. I went back to check the information and found out that the brick tower was built in the Jin Dynasty and has a history of nearly 900 years. The wooden building of Yuanjue Temple was burned by the Japanese army in the 1930s. In addition to the brick tower, other buildings are renovated. Now the piece is undergoing a massive renovation, temporarily exempting tickets.

Yuanjue Temple is commonly known as "small temple", Jinzhenglong three years (1158) monk Xuanzhen built, a group of ancient buildings centered on the tower, there are large halls, east and west with halls, mountain gates, west cross-court halls, etc. In the 1930s, the Japanese invasion, the temple wooden buildings were destroyed, and only one brick tower is now stored. Ming Chenghua, Wanli, Qing Xianfeng years have all repaired brick towers.

The towering brick towers tell of what was once brilliant and are now being repaired in the temple.

The small temple Yuanjue Temple is separated by a wall of the big temple Yong'an Temple, and you can see the towering iron brake at the top of the temple tower. I could not find the temple gate around the outer wall, but I saw a gap in an iron fence, so I went in and saw the nine-story Yuanjue Temple tower standing alone in the courtyard behind the snow. The small temple tower is an octagonal solid brick tower, also built in the Jin Dynasty, the top iron brake, is an iron phoenix, when the wind is strong, the iron phoenix will rotate with the wind direction, both a building decoration, but also played the function of the meteorological instrument, such shape, is the only domestic. Later, when I looked through the information about the small temple tower, I saw that its full name is the Sakya Sheri Brick Tower of Yuanjue Temple. I thought about the tower of Mofei Tower or the temple hidden in the earth palace.
