TAIYUAN:<\/strong> Jinci Temple paths were packed this week. Families with children, students with sketchbooks and elderly visitors with cameras shambled past ancient halls, stone bridges, and trees hundreds of years old.<\/p>\n

One of the few places in China where you can walk through 1,400 years of continuous architectural history in one afternoon is Jinci Temple, at the foot of Xuanweng Mountain 25 kilometers southwest of Taiyuan. The site has seen more than 20 percent more visitors than last year this summer, as tourism in Shanxi has rebounded, the Taiyuan Culture and Tourism Bureau said. Jinci was first founded in the Western Zhou Dynasty under the name Shuyu, who was the first ruler of the Jin State. It evolved from a memorial site to a huge complex, combining the layout of a palace with the function of a temple. It now covers some 80,000 square meters and has more than 100 buildings, pavilions, bridges and towers built from the Northern Song to the Qing dynasties.<\/p>\n

What sets Jinci apart from many other ancient sites is that it was never abandoned. Each dynasty had its contribution, fixed something and left its mark, so the temple today reads like a timeline of Chinese building tradition. At its heart is the Hall of the Holy Mother, or Shengmu Dian, built in 1032 during the Northern Song Dynasty. It stands on a stone platform 1.3 m high, facing south across a courtyard. The roof appears to float from a distance. This is done by the dougong bracket system, an interlocking assembly of wooden arms that support the heavy double-eave hip roof without a single nail or metal fastener. The brackets are arranged in tiers of eight. Built for beauty, but also for strength, they were made by Song Dynasty carpenters. During an earthquake the brackets can slide and deform slightly to dissipate energy and prevent cracking of the main beams.<\/p>\n

This is why, say conservation engineers, Shengmu Dian has survived several major quakes in Shanxi in the past millennium. Inside the hall are 43 clay statues of the Holy Mother and her attendants. Each figure is almost life-sized, and each has a different hairstyle, robe and expression. They are regarded by art historians as some of the best surviving examples of Song Dynasty polychrome sculpture in situ. A few minutes’ walk away is another engineering surprise, the Fish Marsh Flying Bridge from the Jin Dynasty in the 12th century.<\/p>\n

The bridge spans a pond with no pillars in the water. Instead, the builders extended cantilevered beams from both banks until they met in the middle. The technique was rare at the time, and required accurate calculation of load and balance. Even now architects bring students here to learn how the building distributes weight. The bridge is named for the Fish Marsh, a spring-fed pool which has never run dry in recorded history. Next to it is the Treasury of the Three Jewels of the Yuan Dynasty. Murals and an interior coffered ceiling illustrate the change from the restrained elegance of the Song to the more forceful colors preferred in the Yuan.<\/p>\n

Further along the central axis, the several-storied Difficult-to-Encounter Pavilion, dating from the Ming Dynasty, rises. Its glazed tiles and imperial plaques are records of visits by Ming and Qing emperors, seven of whom came to Jinci to perform rituals and leave inscriptions. For decades, archaeologists and conservation experts who have studied Jinci say its survival is no accident. Three things keep coming up in their reports. The first is matter. The principal structural members were of aged cypress and nanmu, both rot- and insect-resistant woods. Second is water management. The whole complex was built on raised terraces with concealed drainage channels to draw the rain away from the foundations. On-site springs, like the renowned Difficult-to-Dry Well and Mutual-Illumination Spring, also help to regulate the humidity within the wooden halls, thus reducing warping and mold. The third factor is the continuity of the technique.<\/p>\n

Because Jinci was repaired and expanded in almost every dynasty, the craftsmen always had a sample. Yingzao Fashi, the Treatise on Architectural Methods, was the basis for Chinese builders from the Song onward, standardizing dimensions, joints, and types of brackets. If a Ming carpenter had to replace a damaged beam he used the same mortise-and-tenon joint that a Song carpenter had used 500 years earlier. The compatibility saved the structural mismatches that have made other ancient buildings crumble. The history of those repairs is written into the place. In the early 11th century, a fire occurred and the Northern Song government began a large-scale reconstruction. That project created the present central axis and built Shengmu Dian, the model for all that followed.<\/p>\n

During the Jin Dynasty, the rulers promoted Taoist rituals at Jinci and added the Flying Bridge and dozens of stone steles recording donations and prayers. Yuan artisans introduced new painting styles and expanded the Treasury of the Three Jewels. Imperial patronage reached its peak in the Ming and Qing periods. Emperors sent officials to oversee renovations and local officials planted trees that are still standing, including a 3,000-year-old cypress and a 550-year-old pagoda tree called \u201cZhou Bai.\u201d The trees are now part of the identity of the temple, photographed as often as the buildings.<\/p>\n

In the 20th century, Jinci was listed as a Major National Historical and Cultural Site and protection was systematized. Restoration teams in the 1950s and 1980s removed later additions that were not in the original style and repaired roofs with traditional tiles. Work has been based on the national guideline of \u201cprotection first, rescue priority, rational utilization and strict management\u201d since 2012. That means using original materials wherever possible, eschewing modern nails and chemical adhesives, and documenting every intervention.\u00a0 Experts from the Shanxi Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics have conducted 3D laser scanning on all the major halls and statues in the last three years. The data is also being used to create a digital archive that will allow researchers to analyze structure and develop virtual exhibitions.<\/p>\n

In 2021, when China promulgated its first national occupational standards for cultural relics restoration, Jinci was used as a case study on the proper application of traditional joinery. International advisors who evaluated Shanxi\u2019s heritage sites for UNESCO also praised the temple\u2019s water system and its harmony with the mountain setting, calling it an excellent example of how to adapt architecture to the terrain while preserving natural springs. But that academic attention hasn’t kept the public at bay. If anything, it\u2019s piqued interest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, scholars are examining the pigments on the statues to learn how Song painters created colors that have lasted almost 1,000 years. Jinci Temple remains because it was built with an awareness of time, weather and human use, and because every generation chose to keep it over throwing it away. Many historic sites today are wrestling with the question of how to preserve their treasures and still make them available for the public to see. Jinci offers a model for how to do that: first protect the building, then use traditional techniques to do it, and then let people in to see what all the fuss is about. It is not just about seeing old buildings for the thousands who will walk its courtyards this spring. It is about the art of craftsmanship. Passed down through generations. Still relevant. Still instructive. Still inspiring. Still beckoning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
