Pujiu Temple
The temple lies on a mound, 12 kilometers northwest of the county seat
of Yongji. The temple is where the story of Western Chamber, a famous
opera of the Yuan Dynasty, took place. The construction of the temple
dates back to the times of Wuzetian, the woman emperor of the Tang Dynasty
(618-907). The huge original structure was destroyed in wars and earthquakes
over a long period of 1,000 years. Yingying Tower in the temple was rebuilt
in the Ming Dynasty. Pujiu Temple has regained its splendor after renovations
in recent years. |
