Yúshè

Yushe lies among the mountains of central Shanxi. On Chanyin Mountain stands Chongsheng Temple, a Buddhist complex arranged in two courtyards, with stone and brick pagodas alongside its halls. The main hall was repaired in 1349 under the Yuan, and the temple was restored again under the Qing. In 1674 the magistrate Tong Guohong and local scholars compiled a county gazetteer, recording the mountains, settlements, temples and people of their district.
