The Shanhua Temple is different from the upper and lower Huayan Temple, sitting on the west and facing the east, because the Liao people admire the East. The Shanhua Temple faces the south and inherits the architectural style of the Central Plains. The main buildings are Shanmen, Sansheng Temple and Daxiong Hall, which are arranged along the central axis and gradually rise. The predecessor of Shanhua Temple was Kaiyuan Temple, and the Ming Dynasty was renamed as a good one. "Goodness" means that the Buddha's method is like running water, everything is fresh and clean, and educating people to be good, has been used ever since. The temple is arranged along the central axis, with high and low staggered, distinct and dominant, and symmetrical. It is a typical indigo seven halls ancient building complex. The temple is not only a thousand-year-old temple, but also the Wenshu Pavilion (destroyed) in the east, and the Puxian Pavilion in the west. It is symmetrical and distinct, reflecting the style of the Tang Dynasty architectural layout. It is the most complete and largest Liao and Jin Temple in China.
