The statue of jellyfish building of Jinci temple in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province, was built in 1545 A.D., the 24th year of Jiajing reign of Ming Dynasty, in Jinci temple in Taiyuan, Shanxi Province.

Among the Taoist sculptures of the Ming Dynasty, the colored sculpture of Jinci jellyfish building in Taiyuan, Shanxi, is an excellent one.

The statue of the jellyfish was placed in the central shrine upstairs, flanked by six maids. The jellyfish is dignified, plump and full of expression. But by contrast, the statue of the maid is more striking. They were standing in full swing, as if they were about to move forward. Compared with ordinary people, their bodies were slightly flat, which increased the girl's sense of weakness. Seen from the back, their backs are quite similar to those of fish swimming in the water. They are graceful and light. Therefore, local people call them mermaids. The author also pays attention to the depiction of details in his creation, such as the maid's fine hair, which is clearly visible; the smooth and delicate texture of the skin is also well handled.

These statues of jellyfish tower are exquisite and skillful, and they are excellent works in Ming Dynasty.
