abstract
Jinghai Temple was first built during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. It was once a museum for Zheng He’s voyages to the West and became the negotiation site for the Treaty of Nanjing in 1842.
The existing building was rebuilt in 1986, retaining the style of Ming Dynasty Buddhist temples. The 1.842-meter-high “alarm bell” is engraved with the names of 852 donors, symbolizing the collective memory of history.
Sensory level
The wave pattern engraved on the stele of Tianfei Palace in the Ming Dynasty and the model of the British battleship “Comwright”, the documentary film of the signing of the treaty played on the electronic screen, and the ancient temple bell sound complement each other.
