Dizang Temple Scripture Repository

　　    Located within the courtyard at No. 105 Qianjin Street, Xingqing District. It was originally called "Dizang Nunnery," but the year of its establishment is unknown. In 1932, it was expanded under the supervision of Feng Yuanguang and completed in 1935, after which it was renamed "Lay Buddhists' Forest." During the Cultural Revolution, except for the Scripture Repository and the wing rooms in the backyard, which were preserved and used as factory workshops, all other structures were demolished. In 1987, local lay Buddhists raised funds to restore the site, and it was subsequently named Dizang Temple.

　　    The temple complex consists of a mountain gate, front hall, middle hall, Scripture Repository, and north and south wing rooms. The Scripture Repository is a two-story building with a flush-gable roof, standing 12 meters tall, with a three-bay width and a single-bay depth. The first floor enshrines Sakyamuni Buddha, and a wooden ladder behind the statue leads to the second floor, which was originally used as the scripture storage area of the temple.

　　    The Dizang Temple Scripture Repository has long served as a religious activity site for lay Buddhists in Yinchuan and is an important physical resource for studying Buddhism in the city. On April 24, 1993, it was designated as part of the second batch of cultural relics protection units by the Yinchuan Municipal People's Government.
