The East Main Hall of Foguang Temple stands at Doucun in Wutai County and dates from the Tang dynasty; it is one of the largest surviving Tang timber buildings. It is seven bays wide under a single-eave hip roof, with deep eaves and massive bracket sets, and it still holds Tang painted sculptures, murals and ink inscriptions under the beams. Liang Sicheng, Lin Huiyin and their party found the hall in 1937, showing that Tang timber architecture had survived in China.
