Lingyan Temple, an ancient temple from the Ming Dynasty, Wei County

Lingyan Temple in Wei County, Hebei Province was rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty at the request of Wang Zhen, a great eunuch of the Ming Dynasty. The beams in the Heavenly King Hall were praised by Liang Sicheng as "the most beautiful beams in ancient Chinese buildings." The tour guide said that this year Liang Sicheng's students also visited the Heavenly King Hall of Lingyan Temple. The plaque "Supreme World" on the main hall means supreme wisdom. The caissons and columns in the hall are from the Ming Dynasty. It is hard to imagine that they have a history of more than 500 years. They are extremely precious and very wonderful. You must come and see them. "In the boundless tranquility of the Buddha's teachings, one can always observe the self-attainment; in the vast clouds of compassion, one can secretly see the Tathagata in the sky." Although Weixian is a small county under the jurisdiction of Zhangjiakou, it has many treasures. Lingyan Temple is not big, but it has its own unique features. Come and have a look. [Grin]
