Most temples refer to Buddhist buildings, Taoist buildings or Islamic buildings, while Taoist temples can only refer to Taoist buildings, which is the biggest difference between them. In the Tang dynasty, the emperor of the Tang dynasty called Jue architecture? Palace? ,? Hospital? Or is it? Temple? . Buddhist temples in China are divided into three categories. The first category is the Han Buddhism temples, where the architectural style is the most in China. For example, we are familiar with the Tiantan and Ditan in Beijing, and the architecture is a typical Chinese Buddhist architecture.

The second category is our Tibetan Buddhist temples, which are mainly distributed in the border areas of China and where ethnic minorities live in concentrated communities, as well as in Sichuan in central China. The third category is Buddhist temples spreading from south to up, which are less distributed in China, mainly in southwest Yunnan. These exquisite temple buildings feel like restored palace buildings, which reproduce the long architectural heritage of our country.

Taoist temple is different. Taoist temple only refers to the place where Taoist priests practice. In China, there are two kinds of Taoist temples. The first is Zezi Temple, and the second is Jungle Temple. As its name implies, the descendants temple refers to a temple that can be handed down from master to apprentice, that is, the temple is regarded as private property. Just like the temple we saw on TV, a master brought many disciples, and then handed over the inheritance of the sect to the most satisfied disciple before the master died, and then passed it on from generation to generation. There are many such Taoist temples in China, but the scale is relatively small. After entering the modernization, this Taoist view suddenly decreased and can only exist in TV movies, which we rarely see in reality.

Another Taoist temple is the jungle temple, which cannot be inherited privately. This is the common property of all. Generally managed by the state and directly responsible to the state. It can be said that it belongs to the official. Such Taoist temples often have hundreds of thousands of years of inheritance. For example, Baiyun Temple, which we are familiar with, was built in the Tang Dynasty in 739 AD.
