Summary
| Description |
中文（繁體）：
摩尼敎寺宇圖，伯茲克里克第38B窟（格氏第25窟）。圖中上下分別是天穹與大地，天穹為七重半圓，大地為方形，表明天圓地方。摩尼寺居中，立於大地之上。寺宇為五重臺式建築，殿堂在下起第一層臺內，第一層的五門，指摩尼教寺宇中的五堂，即經圖堂、齋講堂、禮懺堂、教授堂和病僧堂。最高層臺上有一行明星向上直通天穹。寺宇前有兩段寬窄不同的多級臺階道。根據這份摩尼教寺宇圖可以證明勝金口北寺在建築形制上是一座摩尼教寺，相反的，吐魯番的佛寺絕無這種形制。

Image of a Manichaean Temple, from cave 38B (cave 25 by Albert Grünwedel) at Bezeklik Caves.
The upper and lower parts of the picture are the sky and the earth respectively. The sky is seven-fold semi-circular, and the earth is square, indicating the circle of the sky. Mani Temple is located in the middle and stands on the earth. The temple is a five-fold Taiwan-style building. The hall is in the first floor, and the five gates on the first floor refer to the five halls in the Manichonian temple, namely, the Jingtu Hall, the Jai Lecture Hall, the Confession Hall, the Professor Hall and the Sick Monk Hall. On the highest platform a line of stars lead up to the sky. Two multi-step roads with different widths and narrowness are in front of the temple. According to this map of Manichonian temples, it can be proved that Shengjinkou North Temple is a Manichonian temple in terms of architectural form. On the contrary, the Buddhist temples in Turpan do not have this form. |
