The publishing company behind "Black Myth: Wukong", Zhejiang Publishing Group Digital Media Co., Ltd., once again published an article today, introducing the cultural code behind the rich cultural atmosphere of this work - Shanxi colored sculptures.

In order to truly restore the story scenes in the novel "Black Myth: Wukong", the game company's production team went to many scenic spots in Shanxi to collect materials, especially the elements of Shanxi colored sculptures, which were modeled and applied to the game scenes in large quantities.



Among them, the most classic scene familiar to game users - the Jade Emperor Temple in Jincheng, Shanxi, is talked about by players for its degree of restoration.

The open-air statues in the temple at the beginning of the game perfectly replicate the Kang Jinlong, Xu Rishu, Lou Jin Gou, Shi Huozhu, etc. in the Jade Emperor Temple. The majesty and agility of the 28 constellations in the temple perfectly match the game style, allowing people to feel the ingenuity and unique aesthetic taste of their ancestors and appreciate the profoundness of Chinese culture.


This thousand-year-old temple was built in 1076 during the Northern Song Dynasty. The whole temple has a rigorous structure and fine carvings, showing the unique style of temple architecture in the Song Dynasty. The most valuable cultural relic in the Jade Emperor Temple is the 28 constellations statues in the west wing of the backyard, which are known as "the only one in the country". The 28 statues as a whole occupy an area of ​​150 square meters and are located on the brick platform of the west wing side hall.


Just as Sun Guoting said in "Book of Calligraphy", "It is as slender as the first moon rising from the horizon, and as bright as the stars in the Milky Way." These colored sculptures, with their exquisite carving and religious implications, have become the most eye-catching treasures in this thousand-year-old temple.
