Da Tang Xingguo Zen Temple in Tangshan, Hebei

★ Located in the Lubei District of Tangshan City, the Da Tang Xingguo Zen Temple was originally built in the 19th year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that during Emperor Taizong of Tang's eastern campaign against Goguryeo, he once spent the night on Dacheng Mountain, and after returning victorious, he built a temple on this mountain. The temple was named Da Tang Xingguo Zen Temple, signifying the prosperity and peace of the nation and the everlasting glory of the state. The temple was destroyed in the 1976 Tangshan earthquake and remained desolate for decades. Because the temple is surrounded by Sichuan pepper trees, it is also known as the Sichuan Pepper Temple among the locals. The temple architecture we see today was rebuilt in 2003, using a retro Tang Dynasty architectural style. The design embodies the essence of Tang Dynasty temple architecture, with a grand scale and imposing presence, focusing on the inheritance of historical and cultural traditions. It perfectly combines architectural art with religious sites, reflecting the wisdom, simplicity, solemnity, and reverence of Buddhist art. The main buildings of the Da Tang Xingguo Zen Temple are aligned along the central axis from south to north, including the Mountain Gate, the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Mahavira Hall, the Guanyin Hall, the Sutra Storage Tower, and the Hall of Ten Thousand Buddhas.
