Datang Xing Temple, worth a visit!

In 655 AD, Chusuiliang, a patriotic loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, was demoted to the governor of Tanzhou by Wu Zetian. Chusuiliang once visited the Stone Head Temple on Taogong Mountain. Seeing the magnificent temple, he was moved by the scene and was filled with grief and indignation for the rise and fall of the Tang Dynasty. He wrote the powerful and plump words 'Datang Xing Temple'. Since then, the Stone Head Temple has been renamed Datang Xing Temple. It is recorded in history that Xiangtan City was built in the late Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Five Dynasties, hence the saying 'Datang Xing Temple came before Xiangtan City'. The renovation of Datang Xing Temple was decided in 2015, completed at the end of 2022, and opened for trial in January 2023. When I was a child, I heard a lot about it, but now it really appears in front of my eyes, I still feel it's quite magnificent. I'm not used to the red color, the brown and gray color at first sight doesn't seem grand, but when I walk in, I feel it's very profound, good review!
