Beijing, March 14 (Youth.cn) - March 13, 2025, Xi'an, Shaanxi, the clay sculptures at Shuilu'an Temple in Lantian County. Designated as a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit, Shuilu'an Temple preserves exquisitely crafted and rare ancient Chinese polychrome wall sculptures. The site houses over 3,700 remarkably lifelike clay sculptures, forming one of China's most completely preserved ancient wall sculpture complexes. Renowned as a "treasure of wall sculptures," this collection showcases unparalleled artistry from China's historical craftsmanship traditions.
