  Built around three sacred springs, the Jin Shrines complex (Jinci), near Taiyuan in Shanxi province, contains a wealth of ancient art and architecture dating back to the Northern Song dynasty (960-1127). This book intends to recover the motivations behind the creation of religious art, including temple buildings, sculpture, and wall paintings.
