Three Taoist temples in Shanxi

The three Taoist temples in Shanxi are Qingxu Guan, Changzhi Jade Emperor and Taifu. Shanxi (referred to as Jin for short), also known as Sanjin (called Hedong in ancient times), is a provincial administrative region of People's Republic of China (PRC) and Taiyuan, the capital of the country, and is one of the birthplaces of the Chinese nation.

I. Qingxu Guan

Qingxu Guan, also known as Fushan Temple and Liao Xianguan, was founded in the third year of Datong in the Northern and Southern Dynasties (AD 53 1 year), and Liao Qingxu, a security guard in Lianzhou, practiced in Fushan, which rose in the second year of Guangdu (AD 568). Lianzhou people take residence as their concept. Song Taizu Zongshen named him the "King of the True Spirit", and later there were twelve halls, including Zhenjun Hall, Daxiong Hall, Beidi Hall, Weizi Hall, Guanyin Hall and Sanqing Hall. The temples are strewn at random, resplendent and magnificent, and there are many Taoists and monks. They are both 72 blessed places of Taoism and a resort of Buddhism. Between flowing water and ancient trees, it is like a fairyland.

Second, Changzhi Jade Emperor View

The Jade Emperor Temple in Changzhi City, located in the Southern Song Dynasty, is a large-scale Taoist building. The date of the establishment of the capital is unknown, and it was repaired in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The existing building is Dongtai, with east and west compartments on the side, Wufeng Tower at the entrance, two floors of left and right bells and drums, east and west halls, hedonic pavilions, left and right fasting halls, Jade Emperor Hall and Erdie Hall. The layout is flexible and the body shape is changeable. Jade Emperor Temple is the last single building on the central axis of the temple. The platform in front of the temple is wide and flat, and the plane layout is similar to the width and depth of the main hall. In the past, it was a place specially designed for pilgrims and believers to worship God and pay homage to the statue of the emperor. There are five main halls, with a total width of 1580 cm and three rooms with a depth of 903 cm. Hanging from the top of the mountain with a single eaves. Use square stone pillars around eaves and halls. The column type is slightly divided from bottom to top, and the side angle is obviously increased. Columns are connected by uprights and beams. On the front eaves, the stigma family stepped on the bucket arch five times, and on the back eaves, the stigma family stepped on the bucket arch five times, with an inclination of 45 degrees. The number of the second step was the same as that of the stigma family, but the shape of the bucket changed slightly. On the back eaves, the stigma family stepped on the bucket arch five times, double down the facade and turned to double copy, only on the Chinese arch, without the facade. The arch of Ming, secondary and slight gap families is the same as that of stigma families. There is a bucket arch in the temple.

Third, the concept of a teacher.

Taifu Temple, located in Shangmiao Village, northeast of Fenyang City 13km, was founded in the fifth year of Cheng 'an in Jin Dynasty (1 196). There are seven clay sculptures of the Jade Emperor and his attendants in the main hall, which are tall and lifelike. Judging from their modeling style, they may be works of the Ming Dynasty. It's symbolic. The left and right wing halls are covered with plastic walls, showing the scene of the Virgin being patrolled by civil and military attendants. The plastic arts are amazing. The design of its annex hall is larger than the main hall, which breaks the routine of temple architecture and is rare. There is a well-preserved tombstone of Di Qing in the temple.
