The Yishui Tiangang area holds a strong Buddhist faith, and the two remaining small temples are modeled after the village’s residences. Kaiyuan Temple, originally built during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang, has stood on this land for over a thousand years. In the eyes of the older generation, it was a highly efficacious temple. After its destruction in 1947, this ancient temple was gradually forgotten by the younger generation in the village. What was forgotten was not only the efficacy of their wishes, but also the spiritual sustenance the villagers poured out in the temple. “Remembering Kaiyuan Temple” uses an artistic perspective, starting from the current religious activities and historical culture of Yishui, to unearth the image of Yishui as it once was, sealed in almost vanished memories, continuing the history of Kaiyuan Temple, a temple of immeasurable historical and cultural value, and the faith it held for the villagers. It reconnects this temple with the present-day Tiangang Village, allowing the world to understand Tiangang, and to understand the culture, faith, and history of Yishui.
