The echo of the stone cliffs, the ancient Buddhist charm of Xiangtang Mountain

In Handan, I took a photo of the same cover as that of "China Geography".
Handan Changle Temple is located at the foot of Beixiangtang Mountain in Fengfeng Mining Area and has a long history. It was first built in the Northern Qi Dynasty by Emperor Gao Yang. It was originally named Shiku Temple. It was renamed Zhili Temple during the Tiantong period and then Changle Temple during the Jiayou period of the Song Dynasty. A large area of it was burned down during the Jin Dynasty, and was later rebuilt during the Song, Jin, Ming and Qing dynasties. It was burned down again in 1947, leaving only the ruins. Inside the temple, there is a remnant image in the empty valley, with the Three Buddhas sitting upright on a lotus. Although his head is damaged, his body is still upright. "China Geography" once used them as the cover. Against the background of the night sky, they seemed like a mystery of a mysterious civilization. Perhaps this is also the inspiration for the creation of "Lingji Bodhisattva" in Black Myth: Wukong.
Changle Temple has been destroyed, but the tower remains. It has lived a long life and experienced many vicissitudes of life. Now the tower can no longer be climbed and one can only look up at it.
