Wutai Mountain Nanchan Temple

The oldest existing wooden structure in China
One of the three major Tang structures in China
The oldest wooden structure in Asia
Built in the third year of Jianzhong (782),
Tang dynasty sculptures and architecture are renowned worldwide, a treasure of the world
The most touching aspect of Nanchan Temple
is the records on these steles
For hundreds of years
The villagers of Lijiazhuang and Guojiazha
have donated money, penny by penny
Generation after generation has repaired it
Broken and repaired, repaired and broken
The original wish remains renewed
The villagers of the two villages
have preserved this oldest national treasure Tang structure
Only then can we see this flourishing Buddhist light and hear the clear chanting of Brahma.
