Princess Temple colored sculpture.

Princess Temple is located in Princess Village, Fancheng Town, Fanshi County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province. The construction date is unknown. The existing buildings, except for the Pilu Hall and the Great Hall of the Buddha, are relics from the Ming Hongzhi period (1488-1515), and the rest were built in the Qing Dynasty (1616-1911). The more valuable parts of Princess Temple are the Ming Dynasty corridor and the Great Hall of the Buddha. The corridor houses more than 200 square meters of Ming Dynasty murals and more than 30 colored sculptures including the Eighteen Arhats. The Great Hall of the Buddha houses more than 90 square meters of Ming Dynasty murals and 5 sculptures. The central altar is the Buddha Shakyamuni, with Guanyin Bodhisattva behind, and Manjushri and Samantabhadra on the left and right. The murals in the two halls have high artistic value and are precious materials for studying Ming Dynasty social activities. They are known as the "South and North Pearls" together with the Yongle Palace murals. On May 25, 2006, Princess Temple was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units.
