Among the 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, there is one temple located in Hengdian. This is the Dazhi Temple, which has a history of more than 1,500 years. If you are a fan of TV dramas and movies, you may remember seeing the true appearance of this temple in dramas such as ‘The Legend of Dagger Li’, ‘Handsome Siblings’, ‘The Kitchen God’ and ‘The Bitter Vine’. Yes, Dazhi Temple is not only a pure land filled with the fragrance of Buddhism, but also becomes a shooting base for martial arts films in Hengdian World Studios due to its secluded scenery. The Dazhi Temple has yellow walls and double eaves. Its layout is layered and majestic. The main hall, the Great Buddha Hall, is 45 meters high, majestic and sacred. It is one of the more magnificent Great Buddha Halls in China. The golden statue of Sakyamuni enshrined in the hall is 28.88 meters high. It is awe-inspiring without anger and radiant, which is amazing. It is a relatively large Buddha statue in domestic halls. The arhats in the Hall of Five Hundred Arhats are deep relief carvings in Dongyang wood. The arhats have different shapes, with joy, anger and sorrow. Each one is vivid and seems to come alive. The construction area of Dazhi Temple is nearly 20,000 square meters. In addition to the Great Buddha Hall, Mountain Gate Hall, Medicine Master Hall, Three Saints Hall and Ksitigarbha Hall, which are all worth visiting, there are also bell towers and drum towers that are not commonly seen in other temples. ‘For a hundred years, the world shares sorrow. The morning bell and evening drum never stop.’ The sound of bells and drums coming from the temple warns people to increase positive thoughts and strive for continuous improvement every day.
