Shanxi | The Exquisitely Beautiful Song Dynasty Bodhisattva Statues at Changzi Faxing Temple

Wow! Another hidden ancient temple treasure discovered in Shanxi! 🏯 The Yuanjue Hall Song Dynasty sculptures at Changzi Faxing Temple are truly the pinnacle of art! ✨ 🎨 One of the Three Wonders: According to research, this is the only authentic Song-Liao temple sculpture that still bears the creator's name! (Little fact: It was extremely rare for Song Dynasty craftsmen to leave their names on their works~) 🖼️ Twelve Major Bodhisattva Statues: - Inheriting Tang Dynasty sculpture style: full and plump 🍎 elegant and dignified 👑 - Influencing later Yuan and Ming Dynasty sculptures: compassionate and approachable 🥰 restrained and subtle 🌀 The art world unanimously recognizes them as the "Crown of Song Dynasty Bodhisattva Sculptures" 👑 📍 Location: Changzi County, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province 📅 Opening Hours: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM (Recommended visit time: 2 hours) The morning light is perfect for photography!
