Old Photos of Fuzhou in 1929 The Scenery and Cultural Features of Fuzhou 90 Years ago (Part 1)

In 1929, the old photos of Fuzhou, Fujian Province, showed the scenery and cultural features of Fuzhou 90 years ago. It was from August 1924 to 1944 that the Japanese invaders sent intelligence personnel to take a large number of human and geographical photos of various parts of China, which were published by the Japanese as A Collection of Asian Prints. These photos recorded the living conditions of Chinese people at that time, as well as the geographical features of all parts of the country, giving us a chance to see the historical images of China at that time

There are dozens of photos about Fuzhou in this group of photos, which span from 1929 to 1942. The magazine in which this group of photos was first published was in February February 1929, so this group of photos should be taken before February 1929

ps: There are many photos, and the editor will publish in two episodes

The following four photos are from the 55th issue of the magazine

福州 鼓山上的涌泉寺

涌泉寺为闽刹之冠，是全国重点寺庙之一。寺院建在海拔455米的鼓山山腰，占地约1.7公顷，前为香炉峰，后倚白云峰，有“进山不见寺，进寺不见山”的奇特建筑格局。始建于783年，初名华严寺，唐武宗灭佛时，华严寺被毁。908年，闽王王审知修建新寺“国师馆”。915年改名为鼓山白云峰涌泉禅院。宋朝时，宋真宗赐额“涌泉禅院”。1407年改称涌泉寺。明代曾两次毁于火灾，相继修复、扩建，形成今天的规模。1699年康熙颁赐的御书“涌泉寺”泥金匾额，至今仍高悬于天王殿寺门之上。
