Guanyin Ancient Temple, Buddhist temple in Chuanying District, China

Guanyin Ancient Temple (Guanyin Gucha) stands at the junction of Guanghua Road and Kunming Street in Chuanying District, Jilin City. Its ten buildings face north, with the main hall holding a seated Guanyin statue, ancestral tablets to the east and a Qielan image to the west. The east side hall is the Cangjing-ge, the west side hall the Dharma Hall with a Ksitigarbha statue.

The temple was founded in 1753 during the reign of Emperor Qianlong in the Qing dynasty and has served as an important religious center since then. Major restoration work took place in the mid-20th century and later to preserve its historical structure.

The main hall holds a seated statue of Guanyin, with ancestral tablets to the east and a statue of the temple's protector Qielan to the west. The east side hall, the Cangjing Hall, keeps three editions of the Buddhist canon, among them the Longzang. On 31 August 1989 the temple held a statue-consecration ceremony attended by more than a thousand people.

The temple stands at the junction of Guanghua Road and Kunming Street in Chuanying District, south of the former Jilin Intermediate People's Court, and faces north rather than south. It reopened to the public in 1984. The main hall holds a seated Guanyin statue, with ancestral tablets to the east and a Qielan image to the west; the east and west side halls house the scripture library and the Dharma Hall.

The temple library holds a rare collection of 720 volumes of Chinese Buddhist canon created as woodcut prints in 1735. This collection is particularly valuable because only two such printed collections have survived in all of China.
