Dong Yuhui went to Yongle Palace in Ruicheng, Shanxi, you want to go too!

Yongle Palace, located in Ruicheng County, Shanxi Province, is a national key cultural relic protection site. The Yongle Palace murals are one of the three largest murals in the country. The history of Yongle Palace can be traced back to the Song Dynasty, but it was during the Yuan Dynasty that it truly became a Taoist holy place. When you walk into the Yongle Palace, you will find that the architectural layout here is very exquisite, simple and solemn. But the most exciting thing is definitely the murals. The murals are mainly concentrated in the Sanqing Hall, Chunyang Hall and Chongyang Hall, each of which has its own unique charm. The Yongle Palace murals, the world-stunning Yuan Dynasty murals, cover an area of ​​more than 1,000 square meters, with rich themes and superb brushwork. After 700 years, they still shock China and are famous overseas, being praised as "Oriental Art Gallery" and "Masterpieces in the History of World Painting". The murals in the Sanqing Hall can be said to be the treasure of the Yongle Palace. The murals here are brightly colored and the characters are vivid. Every detail of the gods, immortals, maids, etc. in the paintings is lifelike. In Chunyang Hall, you can see the story of Lu Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals in Taoism. He looks energetic in the murals and has a very immortal feel. The Chongyang Hall displays the story of Wang Chongyang, the founder of Quanzhen Sect. Based on my experience of visiting the Yongle Palace, if you want to understand the murals more deeply, I suggest you ask for an explanation, otherwise ordinary people will just be there to watch the fun. In addition to the murals, the architecture of Yongle Palace itself is also worth seeing. Every corner of those exquisite wood carvings and stone carvings reveals the ingenuity of ancient craftsmen.
