Shuanglin Temple in Pingyao ancient town has a very long history and profound cultural background. Over the past 1, years, it has left a series of precious wealth and spiritual halls for future generations, attracting a large number of Chinese and foreign tourists to visit the Buddha and pray for peace every day. Here is a detailed introduction to Shuanglin Temple.

We all know that Pingyao ancient city successfully applied for World Heritage 2 years ago, but it was not only the ancient city that applied successfully, but also two temples, namely Shuanglin Temple and Zhenguo Temple. It can be seen that Shuanglin Temple has played a very good auxiliary role in the successful application of Pingyao Ancient City. 1. Is Shuanglin Temple effective?

It is very effective. Everyone can pray for peace and health here, and it is said that seeking children and marriage are all effective. However, you must know that everything comes with fate, and you need to treat each other sincerely and strive for it, so as to ensure that your blessing is verified. 2. Introduction to Shuanglin Temple

Although the founding date of Shuanglin Temple can't be fastidious, we can see some records from the oldest Song Dynasty inscriptions preserved in the temple. From the written records, we can know that Zhongdu Temple rebuilt the temple in Wuping for two years, that is, in 571 AD.

since it says rebuild, it can be seen that its creation time must be earlier than this. Therefore, even from the second year of Wuping, Zhongdu Temple has a history of more than 1,4 years, and Zhongdu Temple is also the original name of Shuanglin Temple.

More than 2, colored sculptures hidden in the temple

What makes Shuanglin Temple famous? Then there must be more than 2, colored sculptures hidden in the temples. Most of these colored sculptures are the remains of the Ming Dynasty. They are different in size and shape, and they are lifelike. They are called "the treasure house of oriental colored sculptures" for their exquisite carving.

When it comes to which painted sculpture surprises me the most, it must be the thousand-handed Guanyin statue in the Bodhisattva Hall, sitting in front of the mottled green background. Dignified and elegant, serene. The proportion of the body structure is just right, each arm is round and plump, and the 26 hands are very slender and tough. Some palms are engraved with eyes; Some cross up and down; Some hand-held instruments are ever-changing, just like everything in the world is updated alternately, but in any case, this colored sculpture will give people a peaceful state of mind. I didn't take pictures because taking pictures with camera or mobile phone may damage cultural relics. In order to give you a reference, Xiaoma found an online map. If there is any infringement, please trust me privately and I will delete it immediately.

The most spectacular colored sculptures must belong to the Thousand Buddha Hall in the east. More than 5 colored sculptures of the Ming Dynasty are placed in the small hall, which is particularly eye-catching and spectacular. After all, it occupies almost a quarter of the colored sculptures in the whole temple. Wei Tuo, a rare colorful sculpture in the Ming Dynasty, has a strong personality and a strong sky. Facing the tranquil and graceful Guanyin; More than 4 bodhisattvas are divided into 5-6 floors, some driving auspicious clouds, some riding beasts, and some attached to the main Buddha statue. Although they have different postures, they are naturally integrated.

As spectacular as the Thousand Buddhas Hall, there are more than 4 colored sculptures in the Bodhisattva Hall, which have the same effect. Although the Niangniang Temple is a colored sculpture rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty mural "Songzi Picture" on the front door wall is also unique.

There are not only colored sculptures, but also extremely precious murals.

It is obvious that Shuanglin Temple, which is listed as a world heritage site, is not only colored sculptures, but also contains many Ming Dynasty murals. If you find them carefully, you can still see some remaining murals on the verandah outside the Thousand Buddhas and Bodhisattvas' halls. According to the data, these murals are all works dating from 1461, the fifth year of the Shun Dynasty tomorrow.

Although it looks a little old-fashioned, if you look closely, you can still find some stories, such as the records of the good fortune boy, the worship of Buddha, the offering of bodhisattvas and so on.

When you finish watching Shuanglin Temple, you will definitely understand why Shuanglin Temple can be a bargaining chip for Pingyao's successful application for the World Heritage. All vivid and exquisite colored sculptures, ruined but still colorful murals and majestic four donkey kong statues will make you praise Shuanglin Temple. 3, traffic guide
