Features: This is a delightful masterpiece. The book not only vividly 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 splendor of the monks' and nuns' daily lives, including their clothing, food, shelter, transportation, as well as their poetry, painting, calligraphy, and other cultural activities. It makes readers feel as if they are close to the temple and accompany them into a mysterious realm with the book in hand.
