What is the unsolved mystery of Xuankong Temple?

The unsolved mystery of Xuan Kong Temple was how it could be built on a cliff and not fall for thousands of years. The construction of Xuankong Temple used wooden beams and columns, which were soaked in the special ironwood and tung oil to prevent termite bites and preservation. The center of gravity of Xuankong Temple was supported by hard rocks. By inserting eaves and wooden cleats, the beams and pillars could be firmly fixed in the cave, thus achieving the stable construction of Xuankong Temple. As for how Xuan Kong Temple was able to survive the wind and rain, and how it was able to stand for thousands of years, the current search results did not provide any relevant information.

There was still no definite answer to the mystery of the construction of Xuankong Temple. Xuankong Temple was located on a cliff. The building area was more than 3600 square meters, the height was about 200 meters, and the bottom was only dozens of meters wide. In the case of ancient construction techniques and simple tools, how to choose such a location as a construction site had always been a mystery. Some scholars believed that the temple was built here to stay away from the troubles of the human world, so that cultivators could cultivate better. However, such an explanation could not solve the technical problem of selecting the location of Xuankong Temple. The mystery of the construction technology of Xuan Kong Temple was equally puzzling. Building a temple on the cliff required overcoming many technical difficulties, such as how to transport the building materials to the cliff, how to fix the building, how to ensure the stability of the building on the cliff, and so on. The builders of Xuankong Temple had cleverly solved these problems, but the specific technology and wisdom were still unknown. Therefore, the mystery of the construction of Xuan Kong Temple had not been completely solved.

The mystery of the construction of Xuan Kong Temple had always been the focus of attention. The secret of the construction of Xuan Kong Temple was mainly its unique structure and location. Xuankong Temple was located on Mount Heng in Datong, Shanxi Province. It was built on a cliff more than 60 meters above the ground. The entire building was suspended in the air. The architectural structure of Xuankong Temple was a wooden frame structure, using mechanical principles and mortise and tenon structures. Before the beams of Xuankong Temple were driven into the mountain, they would first make a cut and insert a triangular wedge into it. The beams would be held firmly by the wedge. In addition, the location of Xuan Kong Temple also played an important role. Xuan Kong Temple was built on a steep cliff on the mountain. There were vertical cliffs on both sides, and Xuan Kong Temple happened to be built on this cliff. This location not only shielded the temple from the rain, but it could also block the wind, preventing the threat of strong winds to Xuankong Temple. In addition, the mountain peak in front of the monastery also acted as a shield against the scorching sun. In general, the mystery of the construction of Xuankong Temple was formed by its unique structure and location.

The mystery of the construction of Xuan Kong Temple was how it could be built on a cliff and not collapse for thousands of years. The construction of Xuankong Temple used wooden beams and columns, which were soaked in the special ironwood and tung oil to prevent termite bites and preservation. The center of gravity of the Xuankong Temple was supported by the hard rock, and the entire temple was supported by the mechanical principle of inserting flying beams and beams. In addition, Xuan Kong Temple had chosen the location of the cliff to reduce the impact of the wind and the sun. These factors together allowed Xuan Kong Temple to be built on the cliff and not collapse for thousands of years.

The documentary on the mystery of Xuankong Temple's construction revealed the wonders of Xuankong Temple's architecture. According to the documentary's description, the secret of the construction of Xuankong Temple was that its true center of gravity was supported in the hard rock. The rock was chiseled into the shape of a right-angle echelon, and then the flying beam was inserted to make it sufficiently close to the sharp corner of the right-angle echelon. Using the principles of mechanics, the flying beam was half-inserted as the foundation. In addition, the location of the Xuankong Temple cleverly made use of the natural shape of the mountain and the cliff, making the temple both sheltered from the wind and rain, and a more three-dimensional building. The mountain peaks and stone walls protected Xuankong Temple from the threat of the cold wind, and the mountain peaks in front of the temple also blocked the sun, so that the summer sun could only shine on Xuankong Temple for a short three hours. The architectural essence and true meaning of Xuankong Temple were not only reflected in its thrilling and ingenious architecture, but also in its unique religious pattern of "three religions in one". Xuankong Temple was the only cultural temple in the country that combined Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. The "Hall of Three Religious Concepts" located at the highest point of Xuankong Temple worshipped the ancestors of Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism, fully demonstrating the religious thought of the integration of the three religions. The mystery of the construction of Xuankong Temple was amazing. It was the combination of the wisdom of the ancients and the science of architecture. One of the reasons why it was preserved until now was that the religious pattern of the three religions combined made it impossible for the emperor to destroy it no matter what he believed.
