The ancient architecture of Shanxi - Xiaoxitian in Xixian County reaches the pinnacle of suspended sculpture🎈 Xiaoxitian in Xixian County, also known as Ganfo An, is located at the summit of Phoenix Mountain to the west of Xixian County in Linfen City, Shanxi Province. It is a Buddhist Zen monastery founded by the Ming Dynasty Zen Master Dongming in the second year of the Chongzhen era. It was originally named for the dry-lacquered Buddha statues in the Mahavira Hall, and later, due to the inscription 'Path to the Western Heaven' on the heavy gate, it was renamed 'Xiaoxitian' to distinguish it from another Ming Dynasty monastery 'Daxitian' in the south of the city. 🎈 The total building area of Xiaoxitian in Xixian County is over 1,100 square meters, with structures including the Mahavira Hall, Manjusri Hall, Samantabhadra Hall, Beamless Hall, Heavenly King Hall, Weituo Hall, Ksitigarbha Hall, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, and many other halls. Caves are used as entrances, separating the upper, middle, and front courtyards. In fact, two-thirds of the temple halls are double-layered structures. The suspended sculptures and colored paintings inside Xiaoxitian in Xixian County are of great reference value for the study of Ming and Qing Dynasty suspended sculptures and colored paintings. 🎈 On March 5, 2013, Xiaoxitian in Xixian County was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the fourth batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units.KENZIE LAWRENCE
Shanxi The Ancient Architecture Stories I Know (1)|||🚩Xiaoxitian: Also known as the Thousand Buddha Nunnery, it was founded during the Ming Dynasty. There is an interesting little story about the Arhat statues in Xiaoxitian. It is said that when they were building this place, the craftsmen first constructed five Arhat statues on the left side. At that time, a wandering monk came by and saw the statues. He offered to help complete the five statues on the right side, and the craftsmen gladly accepted. However, after just one night, the monk left. When they came to the hall, they found that the five statues on the right had been completed, and they were lifelike, especially the facial expressions which were incredibly vivid. They were quite different from those made by the craftsmen on the left side. Unfortunately, the monk had already left, and it was impossible to rebuild them, so they had to maintain the status quo, resulting in the current uncoordinated level of craftsmanship between the statues on the left and right. Picture 3, 4: The statues built by the monk Picture 5: The statues built by the craftsmen 🚩Feiyun Tower: One of the main buildings within the Wanyong Dongyue Temple. There is a small story about the construction of Feiyun Tower. Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin passed through Wanyong County while leading his army to suppress a rebellion. After the rebellion was quelled, he built a temple here to commemorate his achievements. The temple was rebuilt and renovated many times in later generations, and the tower we see now was reconstructed during the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty.edie_wagner_02

To witness this splendid hall, you need to climb the stairs. Before you enter the Daxiong Hall, you better polish your eyes or glasses, I'm afraid you'll think you've entered a dream world! The hall is not big, even a bit cramped, those ingenious artworks are right in front of you, enjoy them slowly! Tips1: The real value of Xiaoxitian lies in the perfectly preserved hanging sculptures in the Daxiong Hall. Most of the hanging sculptures in the hall were painted between the 17th year of the Ming Chongzhen era (1644) and the 13th year of the Qing Shunzhi era (1656), the sculptures inside the hall are dazzling and magnificent, exquisitely moving, after more than three hundred years they remain as clean as new, intact as ever. The hall is filled with colorful sculptures, in addition to the five main statues above the altar, the walls, beams, and even the roof rafters are all painted with thousands of colorful sculptures. These sculptures have different postures and vivid shapes, placing you in the halls and pavilions of a thousand Buddha nations. Some are over 3 meters tall, while others are only the size of a thumb, intricate but not cluttered, orderly expressing the vast world of Buddhism. Tips2: Inside the Daxiong Hall, there are five interconnected Buddhist niches separated by a four-story pagoda. In the front of the hall, from left to right, 'Medicine Buddha', 'Amitabha Buddha', 'Shakyamuni Buddha', 'Vairocana Buddha', and 'Maitreya Buddha' are seated in the center of the niches, with attendant Bodhisattvas on both sides. The ten great disciples stand on both sides, with graceful shapes and subtle expressions, vividly portrayed. On the south wall of the hall, Buddhist figures and stories such as the 'Four Directions Three Saints' and the 'Four Heavenly Kings' are sculpted, and on the north wall, stories from Mount Sumeru's thirty-three layers of 'Trāyastriṃśa Heaven', the life of Buddha, and the Jataka tales of Shakyamuni are depicted. On the beams, the eight great Vajra are mighty and majestic, and the walls between the beams are adorned with the resplendent 'Pure Land'; numerous human-faced Apsaras, divine birds, peacocks, parrots, and cranes roam among the misty clouds, and the twelve musical Bodhisattvas perform 'heavenly' songs and dances with light and graceful figures, gentle and pure, moving freely.

I absolutely love this feeling, I'm truly amazed by Shanxi!I absolutely love this feeling, I'm truly amazed by Shanxi! The ultimate beauty of the hanging sculptures in the holy place Outside the hall, snow flutters and wraps everything in white, while inside, the brilliance is overwhelming Xixian County's Xiaoxitian is also one of the filming locations for the game Black Myth: Wukong. Compared to the game graphics, walking into the great hall in reality gives a greater sense of oppression, making one look up in awe at the layers upon layers of hanging sculptures, with endless details to see. The trip to Xiaoxitian in Linfen Xiaoxitian, also known as 'Thousand Buddha Hermitage', was founded by the Zen master Dongming in 1629. The temple is built on the summit of Phoenix Mountain in Xixian County, Linfen, known for its exquisite and unique charm. Like a flat boat cutting through the white waves, it comes gently, and inadvertently embodies the Buddhist sentiment of 'Mercy Ferrying All'. The hanging sculptures in the Mahavira Hall are hailed as the 'ultimate chant of hanging sculptures' in the history of Chinese sculpture art. Entering the hall is like seeing: The Western Paradise descending to the earthly realm The hall is full of clay sculptures of pavilions, divine towers, and Buddha niches, Rare birds and beasts, bodhisattvas and deities, flying apsaras and musicians, etc. Gilded and colorful, resplendent with gold and jade, Presenting a captivating scene of a fairy palace and Buddha land 🚗Transportation: 1️⃣A common problem with tourist spots in Shanxi: they are scattered and far. Xixian County's Xiaoxitian is a 2.5-3 hour drive from Linfen city center one way. Public transportation can be booked in advance with 'Little Yellow Car' for a round trip, with a one-way fare of 35 yuan. The earliest departure time is usually at 6:30 am, and they pick up from hotels, so the timing is not fixed. Book the return trip one hour in advance. I originally wanted to take a special Qiu public bus for a one-day trip to Xiaoxitian + Guangsheng Temple, but I was told that due to snow in the previous days, the earliest departure time was adjusted to 8:30. To save time, I had to hire a private car. 2️⃣Xiaoxitian faces west and east, so the morning sunlight shines into the Mahavira Hall, providing better lighting. 3️⃣The ticket price is 35 yuan, but if booked a day in advance on the platform, it's 28 yuan. 4️⃣Xiaoxitian is in the mountains, with a temperature difference of 8-10 degrees from Linfen city center. Dress for around 0 degrees based on Linfen city center before departure. When I got to the foot of the mountain, the driver told me it was minus ten degrees outside, and I was so cold that I jumped around and only stayed for 1 hour (I had enough time, and I watched alone in the Mahavira Hall for almost 30 minutes). 5️⃣The staircase from the foot of the mountain to the top is not long, and it only takes a few minutes to climb up.halcyon_2233
Xixian has a 'Little Western Heaven'| It's so beautiful when you get to Zhitian Palace!| It's so beautiful when you get to Zhitian Palace!. Little Western Heaven, also known as Qianfo Temple, is located about a mile west of Xixian city on the top of Phoenix Mountain. It is a Buddhist Zen temple founded by Dongming Zen Master in the second year of Chongzhen in the Ming Dynasty. Initially named for the thousand Buddha statues in the Daxiong Treasure Hall, it was later renamed 'Little Western Heaven' to distinguish it from another Ming Dynasty temple, 'Great Western Heaven', in the south of the city. The temple is built in layers according to the mountain, with rich and elegant beam paintings, which are quite distinctive and can be called the 'hanging sculpture masterpiece' in the history of Chinese sculpture art. In addition, the rare official version of the 'Ming Yongle Northern Collection' preserved in the temple has become a rare treasure for studying Chinese Buddhist history, sutra history, ethics and even folklore. The Little Western Heaven on the top of Phoenix Mountain is arranged according to the terrain. The Guanyin Pavilion on the top of Gutong Peak is built on the wind head, the lower courtyard is the wind back, and the mountain wings on both sides of the ditch are like the wings of a phoenix. The Daxiong Treasure Hall in the upper courtyard is built against the mountain and echoes the Moyun Pavilion at the east end, which is the wind tail. Looking far away, it looks like a phoenix looking down. Little Western Heaven is divided into upper and lower courtyards, which are self-contained and integrated. The lower courtyard has a beamless hall facing west and east, which is the Zen hall where monks chant sutras. In the hall, there are wooden pavilions and dozens of bronze Buddha statues. The Weituo Hall and the Wuliang Hall are opposite each other across the courtyard. The Weituo statue in the hall is carved from a whole piece of nanmu, with a majestic face and exquisite carving craftsmanship. The north room is a sutra house, which houses a good edition of the Ming Wanli sutra, well preserved, with a total of 7310 volumes, which has high academic and research value. The real value of Little Western Heaven lies in the intact hanging sculpture art preserved in the Daxiong Treasure Hall. Most of the hanging sculptures in the Daxiong Treasure Hall were painted between the 17th year of Ming Chongzhen (1644) and the 13th year of Qing Shunzhi (1656). The hanging sculptures in the hall are colorful, exquisite and moving, and have been dust-free for more than 300 years, as intact as new. The hall is full of colored sculptures. In addition to the 5 main statues above the Buddha altar, the walls, beams and even the roof beams are all painted with thousands of colored sculptures. These colored sculptures have different postures and vivid shapes, and are placed in the halls and pavilions of the Thousand Buddha Kingdom. The tallest ones are more than 3 meters high, and the smallest ones are only the size of a thumb, complex but not messy, scattered but not chaotic, and orderly express the world of Buddhism. The colored paintings in the beam frame of the Daxiong Treasure Hall are even more precious. They are made of gold-plated plaster, similar to the dragon and phoenix and seal colored paintings of the court. This form of colored painting belongs to the highest level of Ming and Qing architectural colored paintings, and is a colored painting exclusively used by the royal family. Because of its high level and high cost, the physical preservation is very rare.Penelope.Ward.25
Xixian Xiaoxitian - The earthly reappearance of the fairy palace in the Buddha countryLocated in Xixian, Shanxi, Xiaoxitian, also known as Qianfo Temple, is situated on the west side of the Purple River, high on the Phoenix Mountain, only one kilometer away from Xixian County, maintaining a just right distance from the world, overlooking the hustle and bustle of the world. The entire temple is small and exquisite, shaped like a boat, implying the meaning of universal salvation.LyraNebulon789-
"East and West are not separated by a speck of dust, the world and heaven are magnificent"The Western Pure Land and Paradise depicted here can satisfy everyone's imagination and exceed everyone's imagination. In front of this world, looking up, longing, contemplating, rejoicing, sorrow... Only Xi County Thousand Buddha Nunnery, also known as Little Western Heaven, was founded by Zen Master Dongming during the Chongzhen period of the Ming Dynasty. The full hall of Ming and Qing Dynasty hanging sculptures in the Daxiong Treasure Hall is famous and is known as the "Hanging Sculpture Finale" in the history of Chinese sculpture art. Little Western Heaven is built on a boat-shaped loess ridge, implying the meaning of "Merciful Ferry to Salvation". The buildings in the nunnery are built according to the mountain, breaking the traditional central axis symmetrical layout, winding and scattered in the square inches of the loess ridge, "adapted to use, formed by the environment". Hanging sculpture refers to clay sculptures hanging on the wall. The hanging sculptures of Little Western Heaven were completed in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and are rare masterpieces of full-hall gilded hanging sculptures in China. In the Daxiong Treasure Hall of less than 170 square meters, there are nearly 2,000 colored sculptures, ranging from 3 meters high to the size of a thumb. These colored sculptures not only cover the front and gable of the hall, but also rely on beams and columns, either hanging or winding, walking in the air, layer upon layer, forming a Buddhist world, giving people a strong visual impact. The front of the hall from left to right are the Medicine Buddha, Amitabha Buddha, Sakyamuni Buddha, Vairocana Buddha and Maitreya Buddha, sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform, each holding different handprints. There are two attendant Bodhisattvas on each side of the five Buddhas. The ten disciples of Buddha such as Mahakasyapa stand on the left and right gables. Behind them, six novice monks with different postures and expressions stick out from the half-hidden door, lifelike. Above the front wall and the gable, there are stories of Buddha and his previous lives. White cranes, Dapeng, peacocks, and parrots fly among the pavilions. The Four Heavenly Kings, Eight Great Vajras, and Twelve Music Bodhisattvas are lifelike and seem to come alive. Between the purlins and columns, various Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, Vajra warriors, and music apsaras stand on the swirling clouds, lifelike. It is a scene of the Western Paradise. The whole hall of colored sculptures absorbs the coloring techniques of traditional Chinese painting in ancient China, combines sculpting and painting, applies strong colors to the works, and outlines the details of the clothing with silver and gold, making the entire Daxiong Treasure Hall colorful but not vulgar, and magnificent but not empty and earthy. Mr. Zhao Puchu, the former president of the China Buddhist Association, called it: "East and West are not separated by a speck of dust, the world and heaven are magnificent".MOSES OBRIEN

The wife is very good, super super super recommended! The exhaustion of driving for two and a half hours was swept away at the moment of entering the Xiaoxitian Daxiong Palace. The hall is full of suspension, different postures, and magnificent, making people unable to open their eyes and reluctant to leave.
It is worth coming. I also invited a tour guide and told me in detail. It is indeed very beautiful, but it is very inconvenient to go. It is only necessary to drive a chartered car or report a group. In winter, there is no public group.
Xiaoxitian, also known as the Thousand Buddhas Temple, is a Buddhist Zen monastery, founded by Dongming Zen Master in Ming Chongxu in two years. At first, it was named after the Buddha statue in the temple of Daxiong, and then because of the heavy door title "Dai people Xitian", and then changed its name to "Xiaoxitian" for the distinction of another Ming Dynasty temple "Daxitian" in the south of the city. The most unforgettable thing about Xiaoxitian in Jixian County is the hanging art of Daxiong Temple. Most of the suspension plastics in the hall were painted between 17 years of Ming Chongxu and 13 years of Qing Shunzhi, and they were spotless for more than 300 years. The paintings in the beams are even more precious, made with leach powder gold, similar to the palace's dragon and phoenix paintings. This color painting form belongs to the higher grade of the Ming and Qing architectural color painting, belongs to the royal family. In the heavenly palace pavilion, many people fly the sky, god birds, etc., beautiful posture, standing on the winding cloud head. All the statues here, the proportion of the human body is moderate, the skin is full and soft, the shape is vivid and natural, the clothing line is smooth, the largest Buddha statue is more than 3 meters high, the small can be placed in the palm, although the temple is more than a thousand statues are preserved here, the huge sculpture group is complicated and not complicated, natural orderly, The stacked Tiangong pavilion is set off. TIPS: Location: Navigation and search for Xiaoxi Tian in Jixian County. Tickets: 28 yuan/person (you can book tickets online, but you must exchange paper tickets at the ticket office to enter) Parking: There is a parking lot at the entrance of the scenic spot, 5 yuan/time. Food: Yulu Xiangli is a specialty of Jixian County, every autumn, is the season of Yulu Xiangli harvest. In autumn, don't forget to bring it. The juice is full, sweet and delicious, and the lungs are moist and the price is beautiful.
Xiaoxitian, also known as the Thousand Buddhas Temple, is located in the western Phoenix Mountains of Jixian City, Linyi City, Shanxi Province. It is a Buddhist Zen monastery, founded by Dongming Zen Master in Ming Chongxu in Ming Dynasty. Initially because of the Buddha statue in the temple of the great male, the name was changed to "small west sky" because of the heavy door title "to the west sky", and to distinguish another Ming Dynasty temple in the south of the city. The construction area of Xiaoxi Tianquan Temple in Jixian County is more than 1100 square meters, and there are many temples such as Daxiong Palace, Wenshu Temple, Puxian Temple, Liangless Temple, Tianwang Temple, Weiqian Temple, Dizang Temple, Bell Tower, Drum Tower, and the cave as the door, dividing the upper courtyard, the middle courtyard and the front courtyard. In fact, two-thirds of the temples are double-storey buildings. The hanging color paintings in Xiaoxi County are unique within days. Xiaoxi Tian in Jixian County is now a key cultural relics protection unit in the country.
Although it is two hours' drive from Linyi City, when you see the large and small colored sculptures in the house, it is simply stunned, it is worth it.
Very good tour
