Here is about the Fourth Ancestor in China, Daoxin. Not much historically reliable information is known about him actually.
The Fourth Ancestor's Temple, whose actual name is Chongdi Temple I believe, is where he was buried fourteen centuries ago.

Some pictures I took at Tiantong Temple in Ningbo, China, where Dogen trained. However, since Dogen the buildings have be destroyed several times so the only remainings from that time may be the two lakes that are infront.
Here's a picture of a 800 year tree next to the lake, probably contemporary of Dogen

And the facing wall room at first glance I thought it was the place to sit, but actually is only for rituals

Lovely photos, Bernal. It must have been a great experience to visit this temple so linked to our Soto lineage. Thank you for sharing!
