Pathfinder Episode 10: Dongyue Temple in Linfen

Heaven is the small western sky, hell is Dongyue Temple. The Dongyue Temple mentioned here is the Dongyue Temple in Linfen. From Linfen to the west, 70 kilometers along the mountain road, there is a Dongyue Temple standing alone on the top of the mountain. The most famous thing in the rivers and lakes is its eighteen layers of hell statues, but it is a modern renovated thing, in terms of artistic value, it is far less than other ancient relics, the details are too popular, and the expressions are mask-like. The highlights are a wooden pavilion and a hall in the main channel, the carved beams and painted columns are heavy in style, the ridge and cross beams are decorated with glazed statues and wood-carved characters and animals, which is interesting. The eighteen hells yamen, only the official position is the most prosperous, the door lintel is full of blessing red bands, it seems that the gene of promotion and wealth is still deeply rooted in people's hearts.
