Answer 1

Shanxi Xuankong Temple was located between the cliffs of Cuiping Peak on the west side of Jinlong Gorge, Hengshan Mountain, Hunyuan County, Datong City, Shanxi Province. It was the only unique temple in China that combined Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. Xuankong Temple was built in 491 AD, nearly 1,600 years ago. The temple was backed by a steep cliff and faced a deep valley. The entire building seemed to be suspended in the air. The main building of Xuan Kong Temple was supported by dozens of wooden pillars, and these wooden pillars were suspended on the stone walls of the cliff. The structure of the temple was cleverly designed to make full use of the bearing capacity of the rock mass while avoiding excessive damage to the natural landscape. Xuankong Temple was a national key cultural relic protection unit, and it was also the "first scenic spot" of the 18 scenic spots of Mount Heng. Inside the temple were statues of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism. It was one of the rare temples in China that combined the three religions. In addition, the temple also had the calligraphy of the Tang Dynasty poet Li Bai,"Spectacular", as well as various precious cultural relics such as bronze casting, iron casting, clay sculpture, stone carving statue, etc. The architectural style of Xuankong Temple was unique, combining the cultural elements of Buddhism, Confucianism, and Taoism.
