The oldest existing wooden structure in China is nanzenji. According to the inscription on the beam of Daxiong Hall, it was rebuilt in Jianzhong, Tang Dezong for three years (AD 782), with a history of 1200 years.
The main building of nanzenji, the Giant Buddha Hall, has been well preserved so far, and 12 eaves columns support the huge roof of the hall. This is because there is no ceiling, no columns, and the walls of the hall do not bear the load, but only play the role of a barrier. The surrounding eaves columns are typical large-scale wooden structures in the middle Tang Dynasty-rocking arch buildings.

Large-scale Wood Structure Architectural Style in Mid-Tang Dynasty —— Rocking Arch Architecture
You can also enjoy 17 colored sculptures of the Tang Dynasty in the main hall. Siddhartha Gautama is enshrined in the center of the main hall, surrounded by Manjusri Bodhisattva and Pu Xian, and the rest are the group images of the great disciples Ananda, Ye Jia and the dharma king.
The style of the statue is exactly the same as the colored sculptures in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes. Around the Buddhist altar, there are dozens of brick carvings in the Tang Dynasty, all of which are masterpieces of brick carving art in the Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, I can't take photos.
There are also two stone lions in the temple, one is a lying lion and the other is in the form of "two lions facing each other", which is a relic of the Tang Dynasty.
There is also a stone tower with a height of 5 1 cm, which is divided into five floors. The first floor is surrounded by Buddhist stories, and there is a small pagoda in every corner. Other floors are carved with Buddha statues, which are also relics of the Tang Dynasty.
