China Naming Network - Eight-character Q&A - Do temples on the mountainside of Lingshan Mountain in Jiangbei District of Ningbo need tickets?

Do temples on the mountainside of Lingshan Mountain in Jiangbei District of Ningbo need tickets?

When it comes to ancient temples, I believe many people will think of them, such as Lingyin Temple, a famous temple in Hangzhou, and Congress Temple, the capital of Tiantai, which are quite famous in China. These thousand-year-old temples are often labeled like this. For example, the fragrance is particularly strong, or there are many pilgrims coming here.

In our impression, it can be called "Millennium Ancient Temple". With such a good reputation, there must be a long history and cultural heritage, or a certain sense of time. Here, monks can always hear the sound of chanting and the unique sound of bells and drums. Or, there are eye-catching Buddha statues and even enlightened monks. At that time, the temple in Ningbo we are talking about today is a thousand-year-old temple, but surprisingly, there are no suitable pilgrims or Buddha statues here. It can be said that there is nothing in the temple.

However, what is even more surprising is that when tourists come here to visit the capital, they will find that after enjoying it and wandering around, they can't even see a Buddha statue here. Because of this, some tourists will ask, no temple should have monks and Buddha statues, so is this called a temple?

Guobao Temple: It flourished in the Northern Song Dynasty. The temples in the temple were founded in 10 13 years ago 1000 years ago. Guobao Temple is a typical thousand-year-old temple, but it is not famous for religion, but for its exquisite architectural technology, which is amazing. Especially the building of the main hall has been used for thousands of years, almost insects don't eat it, and birds are not as good as spiders, so it can stand for thousands of years, which is a miracle in the history of architecture.

Many tourists commented that Guobao Temple is really unique. It retains the Yoko of the temple, but it has no function of the temple. Although you can't hear the monks chanting, you can't hear the bells and drums in the temple, but you can see the Buddha-free Hall, the Bell and Drum Tower in the Qing Dynasty, and the Tibetan Classics Building in the Republic of China. More like self-aiming.

As we all know, the weather in the north is relatively dry, so it is not surprising to keep the ancient temple. However, in Ningbo, its climate is so humid, and it is windy here in summer. It is a miracle that Guobao Temple can stand for thousands of years without falling down.

As a temple, Guobao Temple spreads culture and shows the essence of China culture to foreign tourists through its unique and amazing architectural art, which belongs to the unique cultural system of Guobao Temple. Friends, have you ever been to such an ancient temple that has stood for thousands of years, with no Buddha statues, no monks or even pilgrims?
