On the morning of September 2, Shanghai started the translation project of the Daxiong Hall of the Jade Buddha Temple. In the next two weeks, the Great Hall of the Jade Buddha Temple will be sent to a place more than 30 meters away from its current position, and the overall jacking will be more than 1 meter, which can be said to be a major attempt in the history of temple repair in China.

Jade Buddha Temple is located in Putuo District, Shanghai. It was founded in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, and it was named after the jade Buddha. Jade Buddha Temple is a Zen temple, a municipal building protection unit in Shanghai, and one of the most popular temples in Shanghai.

In 20 14, the Jade Buddha Temple began the largest renovation in history. Since the restoration of the east and west halls, the translation of the main building in the temple is the key project of the transformation of the Jade Buddha Temple. Before the translation, the distance between Daxiong Hall and another protected building in the temple, Tianwang Hall, was only15m. Not only the square in front of the temple is small, but also the incense is close to the wooden structure, which has potential safety hazards.

After the overall translation is 30.66m, the jacking difficulty is 1 m.. This time, the Hall of Ursa Major will be moved northward by 30.66 meters as a whole. After the translation is completed, the square area between Ursa Major Hall and Tianwang Hall will nearly double.

Before the translation began, the whole building of the Hall of the Great Hero was overhead, with more than 40 jacks under it, and all the tracks for translation were laid in place. Because the hall itself is an all-wood structure supported by wooden columns, it is difficult to translate.

In order to preserve its original appearance, the Ursa Major Hall and the Buddha statues and cultural relics inside will also move synchronously. In the process of implementation, the most difficult thing is to translate the Buddha platform and Buddha statue in the hall.
