The Foguang Temple is located in Foguang Village, Doucun Town, Wutai County, Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province. The main hall (East Hall) was built in the eleventh year of Tang Dazhong (857). It is the third oldest existing wooden structure in China, second only to Xinzhou City, Shanxi Province. Nanchan Temple Hall in Tai County (782), Guangren Wang Temple in Ruicheng County, Yuncheng City, Shanxi Province (832). The main hall of Foguang Temple is the first wooden structure of the Tang Dynasty discovered in modern China. It contains statues, murals and ink book inscriptions of the Tang Dynasty. It contains four relics of the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, it is called "China's first national treasure" by architect Liang Sicheng. In 1961, Foguang Temple was listed as the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units. On June 26, 2009, Foguang Temple and other Mount Wutai landscapes were included in the "World Heritage List". Foguang Temple was built in the period of Emperor Xiaowen of the Northern Wei Dynasty. During the Tang Dynasty, it was once one of the "ten largest temples" in Mount Wutai. Zen Master Faxing built the Maitreya Pavilion with a height of 32 meters in the temple. In the fifth year of Huichang of Emperor Wuzong of Tang Dynasty (845), the Buddha was wiped out and the Foguang Temple was destroyed. Only one Patriarch Pagoda survived. In 847, Tang Xuanzong Li Chen succeeded to the throne, Buddhism revived, the Foguang Temple was rebuilt, and the main hall was rebuilt on the site of the original Maitreya Pavilion. After that, the Song, Jin, Ming, and Qing all repaired the Foguang Temple. In 1937, architects Liang Sicheng and Lin Huiyin inspected and surveyed the Foguang Temple The Foguang Temple is located on a west-facing hillside, and the axis is east-west. The temple is adapted to the terrain and processed into three platforms. The first floor is relatively wide. In the north, there is the Manjusri Palace built in the fifteenth year of the Jintianhui (1137). On the south side is the Jialan Temple rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty; the third floor platform is built with high retaining walls and the main hall is built on it. The main hall of Foguang Temple is the largest existing wooden structure of the Tang Dynasty in China. The main hall has four roofs on a single floor, seven rooms wide, and eight frames deep. The inner and outer columns form a plane column network, the inner and outer columns are of equal height, and the eaves columns have side feet and raised. The cornice curve is gentle, and the cornice is far-reaching. Doutong is large in scale and simple in form. No dwarf pillars are used under the spine, and only fork hands are used. This is an isolated example of existing ancient wooden buildings. In the hall, there are statues of Sakyamuni, Maitreya, Samantabhadra, Guanyin, etc., as well as frescoes and inscriptions in the Tang and Song dynasties. The main hall sits east facing west, and the easternmost plateau is about twelve or three meters above the front ground. The main hall is seven rooms wide and 34 meters long; four rooms are deep and 17.66 meters long; the roof of the hall is single eaves. There is a circle of inner pillars in the hall and a "fan-faced wall" at the back.
