Zhang Yufei, a cultural relics guardian, has worked at the temple since 1993 when he was 21.
Zhang initially took on the temple's daily maintenance. He gradually took an interest in the research of the relics at the temple and began to learn cultural relics knowledge.
With in-depth research, Zhang has published several monographs on the temple's relics and shared Shanxi's cultural heritage stories through a WeChat public account.
In the past three decades, Zhang has received more than 500,000 visitors from home and abroad.
"These cultural relics have become a part of my life," said Zhang. He hopes that more people can join in the cultural relics protection and pass on the traditional culture.
