Legends of China's Four Great Buddhist Monasteries

This book introduces the history and culture of China's four famous temples. It felt like a knowledgeable tour guide taking me through the elegance of those ancient temples. The author's writing style is concise and clear, making complex history and culture easy to understand. This reminds me of the book "Chinese Temple Culture". They both provide in-depth explanations of Chinese Buddhist culture. Moreover, the Guoqing Temple described in the book reminded me of Qiao Feng in "The Legend of the Dragon". His experience in the Shaolin Temple also showed the solemnity and mystery of the temple. In short, this is a book worth reading, which can give people a deeper understanding of Chinese Buddhist culture.
