Features: This is a delightful masterpiece. The book not only meticulously introduces the rise and fall of the Chang'an imperial temples and the formation of the six ancestral halls, but also narrates the little-known cultural radiance of the monks' and nuns' daily lives, including their clothing, food, housing, transportation, as well as poetry, painting, calligraphy, and other aspects of cultural life. It makes readers feel as if they are close to the temple and accompany them into a mysterious realm.
