Pujiu Temple in Yongji, Shanxi

Pujiu Temple was first built during the period of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty, originally named Xiyongqing Court, and is a Buddhist temple of the Ten Directions. The love story of "Hongniang leading the red line under the moon, Zhang Sheng cleverly meeting Cui Yingying" mentioned in Wang Shipu's "Cui Yingying Waiting for the Moon in the West Chamber" during the Yuan Dynasty took place in Pujiu Temple. Since 1986, the newly restored Pujiu Temple, the layout of the temple buildings is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower, and three axes: east, middle and west (the west axis is from the Tang Dynasty, the middle axis is from the Song and Jin Dynasties, and the east axis is from the Ming and Qing Dynasties), with a grand scale and unique style. From the top of the plateau to the bottom, the halls and pavilions, the corridors and Buddha pagodas, rely on the plateau to rise step by step, giving people a sense of majesty and elegance. In addition, the buildings closely related to the story of "The West Chamber": the "West Pavilion" where Zhang Sheng stayed, the "Pear Blossom Deep Courtyard" where Cui Yingying's family lived, and the "Study Courtyard" where Zhang Sheng moved after the white horse was relieved are interspersed among them. Behind the temple is a garden with lively terrain. The stacked rockery in the garden is as dangerous as cutting, and the double pavilions of the oriole are flying eaves. The curved path of the magpie bridge is horizontally erected on the lotus pond, and the pavilion and bridge are connected, and the lake and mountain are connected. Yingying's "Moon Worship Platform" is hidden among the green pines and cypresses and thousands of bamboo poles. The Yingying Tower standing in the temple is not only simple in shape and spectacular, but also famous for its unique structure and obvious echo effect. Tourists will knock on the side of the tower with a stone, and the tower will make a crisp and pleasant "croak-" "croak-" frog call, which is amazing. According to the local chronicles, it is called "Pujiu Toad Sound", which is one of the eight scenes of Yongji in ancient times. Due to the publication of "The West Chamber", the "Buddhist Temple without Over the World" Pujiu Temple became famous, and the relic tower in the temple was also renamed "Yingying Tower" and became famous. And the beautiful and moving love story has been shaking people's hearts for thousands of years. It is the place where the story of the famous Chinese historical drama "The West Chamber" took place. There is a square brick tower in the temple, originally named Relic Tower, commonly known as Yingying Tower. This tower, together with the Echo Wall of the Temple of Heaven in Beijing, the Tower of Baolun Temple in Henan, and the "Stone Qin" in the Big Buddha Temple in Tongnan District, Chongqing, are known as the four major echo buildings in China; and the Shaking Head Tower in Shan State, Myanmar, the Music Tower in Solnok, Hungary, the Incense Tower in Marrakesh, Morocco, the Bell Tower in Paris, France, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, are known as the six major wonders of the world. The heart makes it a famous tourist attraction.
