# Talk:Foguang Temple

What are the first two?--Tricia Takanawa (talk) 18:51, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, part of your question is answered in the next sentence with the mentioning of Nanchan Hall; a few paragraphs down the Five Dragons Temple is mentioned.--Pericles of AthensTalk 20:11, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
I think the article should make it very clear that there are older buildings in China than these; they are just not made out of timber. For example, the monumental pillar-gate towers made of stone or brick from the Han Dynasty (202 BCE – 220 CE) which are usually located at tomb sites. Or even stone and brick pagodas of the 6th century CE.--Pericles of AthensTalk 20:13, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Oh, I see it. I forgot the Nanchan Temple. But I looked up my old textbooks. Still I didn't find any timber building other than Nanchan temple which is earlier than Foguang. I agree with you that there are many surviving stone towers from much earlier times, but the hierarchy of Chinese and other east Asian architecture emphasizes much more on timber buildings. People don't seem to care much about the earlier stone structures. --Tricia Takanawa (talk) 16:54, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
