2022-08-06

"The beautiful-looking building that comes into view now is the Wuta Temple that is very familiar with us." On the evening of the 4th, it was the Qixi, which is Chinese Valentine’s Day. Dozens of spectators, led by docents, toured the Wuta Temple at night, listened to the stories of cultural relics, and went to the "Garden Tour" with their families.

"Why is the Wuta Temple called Zhenjue Temple? What patterns are on the tower? "Along the long Yongdao Road, Huang Shuchen, who had just entered the second grade of primary school, followed his parents closely and asked questions all the way." Zhenjue Temple is its name in the Ming Dynasty, here in the Qing Dynasty called Zhengjue Temple, Dazhengjue Temple, commonly known as the Wuta Temple... In front of us, this exquisite Throne of Zhenjue Temple, at the bottom of which is the Sumi Seat, which is about two meters high, with various religious motifs at the waist..." Under the leadership of the museum staff, 7 groups of families strolled through the ancient temple to understand the history of the Zhenjue Temple, the value of the Vajra Throne, and the story behind the stone carvings.

“Wonderful explanation has won the audience frequent praise.” It's so rare, there are few opportunities to visit the museum at night, and today the family came over and gained a lot of knowledge.” Huang Shuqian's father, Huang Liang, said that he was very interested in ancient architecture and history and culture, and his children and wife were also influenced by him, "I hope that a different night tour experience can bring more gains to children. " There was also a young couple who came to visit after work and took a group photo in front of the tower, and the boy said: "We are both fans of literature, and we met in the museum at the beginning." A night tour of the museum in Qixi together is a special memory for us."

In addition to the wonderful cultural relics story, the Stone Carving Museum also prepared a Wuta gift for the audience - the museum's characteristic cultural and creative products, the Diamond Throne splicing model and a rose." I hope that the audience can bring this affection home. Lu Jiabing, director of the museum, said that the stone carving hall will launch special night activities in more traditional Chinese festivals to enrich the nightlife of the citizens.
