Datong Shanhua Temple was built in the Tang Dynasty. It has a history of more than 1,000 years. This thousand-year-old temple was originally called Kaiyuan Temple. It has the same name as Kaiyuan Temple in Chaozhou, Guangdong Province, and Kaiyuan Temple in Quanzhou, Fujian. In the early period of the Five Dynasties, the Datong Kaiyuan Temple was renamed the Grand Puen Temple. The temple was destroyed in the Liao Dynasty and was extensively repaired in the early Jin Dynasty. It took more than ten years for the project to be completed. In the dynasties after the Jin Dynasty, this ancient temple has undergone trimming. In 1445 AD, which was the orthodox decade of the Ming Dynasty, the ancient temple was finally renamed the Shanhua Temple and used today. It is worth mentioning that the Shanhua Temple was also a place for the bureaucrats to study etiquette in the Ming Dynasty, and its status was detached! After the reconstruction, renovation and expansion of several dynasties, the artistic features of the Shanhua Temple are characterized by inclusiveness. Shenghua Temple inherits the symmetrical pattern of ancient Chinese temples. The main halls and the main halls are distinctly distinct. It is the most reasonable and most magnificent temple in the Liao and Jin Dynasties. The main hall in the temple preserves a large number of cultural relics such as clay sculptures, murals and inscriptions. It is worth mentioning that the Daxiong Hall in the Shanhua Temple is the only Liao Dynasty building that has not been destroyed by the war. The hall is decorated with five elegant Buddha statues, that is, five clay sculptures. In addition to the Huayan Temple, the Daxiong Hall of Datong Temples is the most magnificent of the temples!
