Shuilu An, located in Hewankou Village, Puhua Town, Lantian County, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, is a famous temple of the Six Dynasties. The temple has ancient colored sculptures and is a treasure trove of ancient Chinese sculpture art. It is known as the 'second Dunhuang of China'. Shuilu An was originally the Shuilu Hall of Wuzhen Temple, which was an important place for holding 'Shuilu Fasting' and 'Shuilu Daochang'. During the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Huaibian, the prince of Qin, spent more than five years building it as a family temple. The 3700 clay sculptures preserved in the Daxiong Hall of Shuilu An are hailed as 'wall sculpture treasures'. It is surrounded by water on three sides, resembling an isolated island, with green mountains standing tall and rivers flowing around, hence the name Shuilu An. The colored clay wall sculptures of Shuilu An are all in the main hall of the temple, divided into four parts: the south and north mountain walls, the two walls of the central partition in the hall, and the eaves wall.
