Title	Luliang (China), Buddhist temple courtyard
Caption	Yunnan Province, China - 1943 - 1945
Part of Set	1943-1945 Bert Krawczyk Photos of China during World War II
Date of Photograph	between 1943 and 1945
Photographer's Note	A Buddhist temple and courtyard in Luliang. Note its cleanliness. The lush, ancient cedar trees line the walk and stand like sentries guarding the approach. The temple itself was well kept. The intricate grill work and carved relief panels in its door of wood was very well done. To the right and left, the circular design within a panel of fine wood screens is also hand carved. The doors are designed to fold when opened. The upper portion of each door transmits light through a cross-hatch pattern. The bottom door panels are carved in relief. Each door panel contains a different design. The roof is blue-grey tile and neatly kept. The grill work on the roof top and sides was painted gold. In some instances these appointments were green. Basic construction was of stone. The patio area in front of the entrance was raised and paved with stone.
