【Shanxi's Cultural Landscape】Architectural Splendors (Route 3)

——五千年文明看山西

——Exploring 5,000 Years of Civilization in Shanxi

如果说前两条线路分别叩问了木构与壁画，那么这条“太行古建·壁塑双绝”线路，带你走进的便是晋东南这片“中国古建博物馆”的核心腹地。

If the previous two routes explored wooden structures and murals respectively, then this "Taihang's Ancient Gems: Dual Masterpieces of Murals and Sculptures" route takes you into the heart of southeastern Shanxi — the "Museum of Chinese Ancient Architecture."

今天，我们开启“土木华章”第三条主题线路——“太行古建·壁塑双绝”。这条线路从长治出发，沿浊漳河谷一路向南，串联起：观音堂、法兴寺、崇庆寺、天台庵、龙门寺、大云院、青莲寺、开化寺、铁佛寺、玉皇庙。

Today, we begin the third route of "Architectural Splendors" — "Taihang's Ancient Gems: Dual Masterpieces of Murals and Sculptures." This route starts from Changzhi, follows the Zhuozhang River Valley southward, and connects: Guanyin Hall, Faxing Temple, Chongqing Temple, Tiantai Temple, Longmen Temple, Dayun Temple, Qinglian Temple, Kaihua Temple, Tiefo Temple, and Yuhuang Temple.

这是一场与太行山深处千年古建的约会。让我们沿着浊漳河谷，一路追寻五代、宋、金、元、明的建筑密码。

This is a rendezvous with millennia-old ancient architecture deep in the Taihang Mountains. Let's follow the Zhuozhang River Valley and trace the architectural codes of the Five Dynasties, Song, Jin, Yuan, and Ming dynasties.
