Abstract:Anle Zen Forest is a Buddhist temple in the southern city of Beijing that is suspected to have been built during the Ming Dynasty. Originally a courtyard with three entrances, only two courtyards and six cultural relics buildings remain. Although Anle Zen Forest is a district level cultural relic protection unit, there has been little research on ancient architecture and no special research results. This article is based on surveying and mapping its current situation, literature review, and interpretation of inscriptions, exploring the historical information and cultural value of the ancient architectural complex of the Anle Zen Forest, exploring its layout evolution and form practices, in order to fill the gaps in research on the Anle Zen Forest and serve as a reference for its continuous research and comprehensive protection.
