geographical position

Huangmiao, also known as Yong'an temple, is the Lama's general temple in the old turhute section of South Road. It is the largest comprehensive Temple group in Xinjiang. Because the Gelug Sect of Tibetan Buddhism is called Huangjiao, and the Bayingolin Lama believes in Huangjiao, the temple built is called huangmiao. Moreover, the Yellow temples are all yellow and golden, so they are called yellow temples. Huangmiao is located in the old Baluntai valley of Baluntai Town, Hejing County, 50 kilometers away from Hejing county. It has a picturesque and quiet environment. Now it has huangmiao summer resort.

History of huangmiao

Huangmiao group was founded in 1888, which was composed of 15 original temples with a total construction area of 24000 square meters. It was demolished during the cultural revolution, and now there are only three. In 1998, Shengqin VI, the living Buddha of Drepung temple in Tibet, donated 2 million yuan to rebuild the main huangmiao Temple. In the west of huangmiao, there are the former palace and Tomb of Manhan king. Huangmiao is also a school of philosophy. It is a place where lamas study Buddhist philosophy, astronomy, calendar and other courses. It embodies the unique artistic style of Tibetan Buddhism in architecture, statue and mural art

Yellow temple is a kind of temple. There are two kinds of Temples: Qingmiao and huangmiao. Qingmiao lives in monks and huangmiao (Tibetan Buddhist temple) lives in lamas.

Architectural design

The design of the huangmiao temple in Hejing county is basically based on the method of the mixture of Han and Tibetan. The general layout adopts the method of central axis penetration, left and right symmetry, and flat roof single-layer bungalows are made on both sides. The main building is built on the central axis of the temple, which is slightly north of the temple. There are two buildings and a mountain gate. The main hall is five rooms wide, which is made into a "three soft and two hard" style. The entrance was divided into two walls, the front and the back, but a Han style Xieshan style palace roof was built on top of the courtyard, so the courtyard became a great Sutra hall. There are Buddha statues in the north, and the rest of them have a large space. Large scale Dharma meetings are often held here, which is a place for large-scale lectures. The space inside the hall is lined with prayer flags and ribbons, with sitting boards and red felt. Buddhist paintings are painted on the inner wall. As there are skylights on all sides under the eaves of Xieshan mountain, it looks bright inside the gate and has no feeling of darkness.

From the appearance point of view, the front porch three, slightly out, with four big square columns, square columns do angle type, the surface painted red, column head with color painting, very eye-catching. In the eaves, the style of Tibetan temple is adopted. There is a permanent curtain at this position, which is intended to protect the color paintings on the eaves. The Xieshan style is not a square hall, but a double length along the axis. The lower part of the Xieshan style has a Tibetan flat roof, surrounded by parapets on all sides, and the other part is a group of signs of "Jinlu listening to scriptures". The whole hall is decorated with golden yellow and yellow glazed tiles, which makes this temple worthy of the name.
