Shuangta temple, also known as Yongzuo temple, is a state-level cultural relic protection unit. It is located in the south of Haozhuang village, Taiyuan city. Because of the double towers, it is known as "Wenbi double towers" and becomes the symbol of Taiyuan.

Shuangta temple was founded in 1608, the 36th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty. At that time, the Buddhist monk from Pingyang, Shanxi Province, was very famous. Pan Wang of Lu'an worshipped him as his teacher and supported him to build two big pagodas, named Xuanwen pagoda, with a height of 13 stories and a height of more than 50 meters. The Yongzuo temple, originally planned by the Buddhist monk, was a large-scale temple, but it was not yet completed. At the order of Emperor Wanli, he went to Xiantong temple in Wutai Mountain to "preach the precepts.". It is said that the bronze Hall of Xiantong temple was also built by him.

The main existing buildings in the temple are made of brick. The main hall and the East and west side hall are all in the shape of Wuliang hall, which are made of green brick and wood. There are two brick pagodas in the temple, which are called Double pagodas. They are also called Xuanwen pagodas because they were built by Li family, the mother of Emperor Wanli.

Taiyuan Shuangta Revolutionary Cemetery, as a main force in the funeral industry of the provincial capital, has been working hard for decades, boldly exploring the road of funeral reform, and constantly innovating and making new achievements on the way forward. The burial forms of ashes include: indoor burial, tree burial, wall burial, etc.

Since 1975, it began to handle the business of external storage of ashes. At that time, it could be said that it was the only one in the provincial capital. By the end of 1980s, the form of storage of ashes was indoor storage, and the level was limited to administrative level 18 or above. In the mid-1990s, the business scope of ashes storage was further broadened. The newly built wall burial palace broke the privilege that only the ashes of leading cadres above the administrative level 18 can enter the cemetery, and the funeral service projects have been further developed. Stepping into the 21st century, accelerating the pace of taking the lead in the development of civil affairs and "creating an ecological garden city" proposed by provinces and cities, our garden has set off a spring tide of funeral reform.

In order to meet the needs of the development of market economy and better serve the broad masses of the people, in 2001, we took the lead in trying out the ecological green funeral tree funeral. It organically combines the harmonious development of city and environment, and becomes the symbol of urban civilization. The development of tree burials perfectly combines the traditional funeral culture with the environmental protection consciousness, and realizes the environmental protection concept of "the soul of trees, the blessing of posterity, the peace of the earth, and the trees forever". In order to meet the needs of the broad masses of people, our garden has been carefully selected and repaired, and has opened up four tree burial areas, namely, meritorious area, area 1, area 2 and area 3.
