The Guangsheng Temple (Chinese: 广胜寺) is a Buddhist temple, located at the southern foot of Mt. Huoshan, 17 km northeast of Hongtong County, Shanxi, China. The temple was built in 147[1] and was changed to its present name in the Tang dynasty. It has three parts: the upper temple, the lower temple and the Shuishen Temple (Temple of Water God). The drama murals from the Yuan dynasty are kept in the lower temple.[2]
The famous Zhaocheng Jin Tripitaka was discovered at the Guangsheng Temple in 1933.[3][4]
