Dajue Jing She

  Dajue Jing She, commonly known as Huajia 0, is located on Radio Street in the jurisdiction of Zhongzhi Subdistrict Office, Yunyan District, covering an area of approximately 15 acres. The central building of the retreat is a five-story Buddhist pavilion, over 30 meters high, with upturned octagonal eaves and windows on all eight sides. It rises majestically floor by floor, towering into the sky. In front of the pavilion lies a courtyard, flanked by symmetrical buildings—on the left and right—the scripture depository is at the front, encircled by winding railings with intricately carved eaves. Corridors connect it vertically and horizontally with the side rooms, giving the entire structure a grand and dignified architectural presence.

  Dajue Jing She was a private Zen monastery dedicated by Hua Zhihong. It was built in 1923. During the War of Resistance against Japan, when Guizhou established its first radio station, the ground floor of the scripture depository and the right-side building were rented out as offices and broadcasting studios. As a result, the street where the retreat is located came to be called Radio Street. After the liberation of Guiyang, Dajue Jing She came under the management of the municipal government. The Municipal Education Bureau and the Cultural Bureau were once housed in various rooms within the side buildings. In the 1960s, the government replaced the original green tiles with glazed tiles and painted them ochre.

   On May 20, 1981, the Guiyang Revolutionary Committee designated Dajue Jing She as a municipal cultural relics protection unit.
