Kuil Zhenguo (Hanzi: 镇国寺) adalah sebuah kuil Buddhis yang terletak 10 km dari Pingyao di desa Hadongcun, Provinsi Shanxi, Tiongkok. Aula tertua kuil ini, Aula Wanfo, dibangun pada tahun 963 pada masa Dinasti Han Utara, dan terkenal karena memiliki penopang yang sangat besar yang menahan atap dan ujung atap melayang. Patung-patung di dalam aula adalah satu-satunya contoh patung Buddha abad ke-10 di Tiongkok.
Sejarah
The history of the temple begins in 963, when it was recorded that Ten-Thousand Buddha Hall (Wànfó diàn 万佛殿) was built. The date is written on a beam in the hall, and is also the date given by a local history of Pingyao county written in the 19th century. A stela written in 1819 also confirms this date.[1] Wanfo Hall is the oldest building at Zhenguo temple, and is the only surviving building that dates from the short-lived Northern Han dynasty.[2] Although little is known of the temple's history, stelae record that it was renovated in 1540 and in 1816.[3] In 1997, along with Pingyao city and Shuanglin Temple, the Zhenguo temple was inscribed on the World Heritage list as ‘Ancient City of Pingyao’.[4]
