Sirun Three Religions Temple (Sixth Batch of National Key Cultural Relics Protection Units)

Era: Jin Dynasty

Address: Sirun Village, Yangcun Town, Lingchuan County

The original construction date is unknown. Currently, only the main hall remains as a structure from the Jin Dynasty. The main hall is a double-eaved hip-and-gable roof building with a square floor plan, built on a stone platform measuring 13.5 meters in length, 11.9 meters in width, and 1.4 meters in height, with three bays in both width and depth. The lower level has a corridor supported by stone pillars. The bracket sets are exquisitely crafted, and the wooden components are well preserved. The roof tiles are black-glazed, and the wooden elements are notably elegant. The architectural structure employs refined techniques and displays harmonious proportions. The wooden frame uses the traditional interlocking bracket system, and the bracket arms are especially graceful. It is hailed as “a rare treasure among civil architecture of the Jin Dynasty,” and is greatly admired for its exquisite beauty. Further reading:
