The main hall of Tiantai Hermitage in Ping Shun of the Five Dynasties has been 'misjudged' for many years

Tiantai Hermitage was once considered to be a Tang Dynasty construction. Located on a solitary mountain in Wangqu Village, Pingshun County, Shanxi. The temple has only one main hall, small in scale and solitary, yet rich in Tang Dynasty style. In 1988, when it was selected as a national key cultural relics protection unit, its registered identity was: Founded in 907 (the year of the Tang Dynasty's demise). At that time, it was said: There are a total of four existing Tang Dynasty wooden buildings in our country. Nanchan Temple, Foguang Temple, Guangrenwang Temple, and Tiantai Hermitage. At the end of 2014, Tiantai Hermitage underwent major repairs. During the repairs, an ink inscription was found between the ridge purlin and the replacement timber in the hall, which read 'September 2nd of the fourth year of Tang Changxing and the fourth year of Tang Tiancheng...' 'Changxing' is the era name of Emperor Mingzong of the Later Tang, which is 26 years after the fall of the Great Tang. Thus, the identity of Tiantai Hermitage came out: it was originally built during the Five Dynasties period in 929 (the fourth year of Tiancheng of the Later Tang), and was renovated in 933 (the fourth year of Changxing of the Later Tang). Tiantai Hermitage is not from the Tang Dynasty, but from the Five Dynasties.
