At Fengqi Courtyard, live in the ancient capital time on the screen

Open the door of Fengqi Courtyard Under the blue bricks and black tiles, scattered sunlight leaks through This is not only a poetic dwelling overlooking the ancient city of Datong But also an excellent starting point connecting many famous film scenes Following the footsteps of "Journey to the West" to Yungang Grottoes In front of the outdoor giant Buddha of Cave 20 The side light outlines the rugged contours of the thousand-year-old grotto Just like captured in the scenes of "Big Head Has Great Wisdom" The Buddha’s slightly raised hand hides a timeless tranquility With memories of "The Yang Family Generals," enter Huayan Temple The archway below the temple steps once turned into "Tianbo Yang Mansion" The alley east of Shanhuasi Temple once hid the traces of Yang Wulang’s escape In front of the "Eastern Venus" colored sculpture inside Huayan Temple Shooting from a low angle, the ancient Buddha’s robe folds and the light and shadow inside the hall frame together Just like the ancient architectural aesthetic mood referenced in "Black Myth: Wukong" A ten-minute walk from the courtyard to the Southeast Yi Cultural and Creative District You can find the same "Buddha Little Companion" as in "Langlang Mountain Little Monster" And see volcanoes and earth forests in art exhibitions Those unique landforms that appeared in "Ash Is Purest White" and "League of Gods" Now transformed into landscapes on paper Spend the afternoon in the courtyard Afternoon tea is ready Curl up on the rattan chair Watch the cloud shadows slowly move on the blue bricks Climb the ancient city wall at dusk The sunset gilds the battlements with gold edges The evening breeze brushes past the ears, as if you can hear the smoky atmosphere from the lines When the camera links the Buddha shadows in the grottoes, the flying eaves of the ancient temple, and the bamboo light in the courtyard You understand why this city has become a favorite of Jia Zhangke and others Because every ray of light and shadow here hides a story
