There are two original wood carving niches in the temple, which are used for the sand statues of Sakyamuni shaped in the Ming Dynasty. The carving of wooden niches is very exquisite and has high artistic value.
Tianning Temple, located in the north of xingguo temple, was founded in the Taihe period of the Northern Wei Dynasty (477-499), and was named Dahuanshan Temple before the Yuan Dynasty. The existing layout is cross-shaped east-west and north-south axes, with more than 20 halls with a total area of more than 2,600 square meters. East-West Axis Architecture The buildings on the east-west axis include the mountain gate, the sutra depository and the stupa. There are 5 mountain gates, with hard peaks and gray tiles, which were built in the twenty-eighth year of Qing Daoguang. The Sutra Pavilion was built in the third year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1575), with 5 rooms wide and 1 room high.

Through the sutra depository, there is the Giant Buddha Building. The Great Pagoda is the last building on the east-west axis. It was originally a seven-story pavilion built to shelter giant stone buddhas in the Northern Wei Dynasty. At the end of Yuan Dynasty, it was burned by the Red Scarf Army. According to the stone pillars found under the courtyard of 1985, the original pavilions should be five in width and about 10 m in depth. Today, the Great Buddha Pagoda was built in the 10th year of Ming Dynasty (1445), with three rooms wide and seven feet high. Inside is an 8-foot-high (22.7-meter) giant stone Buddha. Eight zhangs Buddha and seven zhangs building. Legend has it that this is a strange story. The big stone Buddha, called the Big Buddha Rock in ancient times, is carved on the mountain, as high as a cliff, and is made of rock, which was decorated in Chenghua Decade of Ming Dynasty (1478). The big stone Buddha sits cross-legged, with round cheeks and a slightly trapezoidal shape, which looks like Maitreya Buddha. Eyes straight, lips closed, serious expression. Shoulders stand upright, neck is long, and it is in the tee collar. Cover your knees with your left hand, palms down and elbows up with your right hand. Palm outward, showing the fearless seal. Wearing brightly colored plaid robes. Because of the broken chest, the lines of the clothes are not clear, which seems to be double-breasted Judging from its engraving, it belongs to the straight step knife method. But there is a prominent round edge on its corner. Judging from the overall outline of the big stone Buddha, it is triangular. It seems out of proportion, which shows the immaturity of early sculpture art.
The characteristics of the times provided by the image of the giant stone Buddha itself are very inconsistent, including the early Northern Dynasties, the late Northern Dynasties, and even the factors of the Tang Dynasty, such as snail hair. After research and investigation, some details are considered to be transformed by later generations. Due to the long history of the Great Stone Buddha, it has been abandoned several times, especially in the late Yuan Dynasty, when the Great Buddha Pavilion was burned and some parts of the Great Stone Buddha's body were burnt off, so it could not be repaired in the Ming Dynasty, so it was repaired.
It is impossible to verify the original appearance of the big stone Buddha by making and pasting with mud skin color. Although some parts are distorted, the overall outline of the big stone Buddha cannot be changed, so some original shapes, such as triangular body, square pier seat and flat feet, are still preserved. Because the original evidence of the big stone Buddha is ignored and the existing characteristics are inconsistent, it is impossible to absolutely determine its creation age. There are many articles and research materials about the age of the big stone Buddha, and the final unified opinion is that the exact age needs further textual research.
The Big Stone Buddha is one of the large cliff statues in China. Even the works in the late Northern Wei Dynasty are still a major historical site in China. The last building on the north-south axis of Tianning Temple is the Water and Land Hall, which has long since ceased to exist. There are three halls in front of the site of Shuilutang, which were rebuilt in the 17th year of Chongzhen in Ming Dynasty (1644). There is a worship building in front of the temple. The temple used to be used by the Three Buddhas, but now there is only one color backlight on the wall. In front of the Three Buddhas Hall, there are Eighteen Arhats Hall, Four Heavenly Kings Hall and Dizang Hall, all of which are buildings in the Qing Dynasty. On the left is Lin Zhong, with a big iron clock cast in Jingtai for four years (1453). Tianning Temple Tianning Temple has a long history. After the extinction of Buddhism in Chai Rong, Zhou Shizong, more than 90% of the temples in China were abolished, and Tianning Temple was allowed to remain and be abolished, which shows its historical position at that time.
When you leave Tianning Temple, turn left and follow a gentle slope Qingshan Pan Road, which is Longdong. Longdong is a natural cave, located on the east cliff of Daishan Mountain. The three caves all lead to the cracks on the top of the mountain, and the sunlight shines into the cracks, reflecting the light in the holes, which is one of the eight scenic spots in Xunxian County. It's going to rain, and the clouds started to rise in the cave, so people named it Longdong to spit smoke. There are five rolling dragons carved on the stone wall of the mouth of the cave, and there are several inscriptions and inscriptions.
