The Ancestor of 30,000 Guan Temples | The Black Myth: Wukong is really good at choosing locations.

Jiezhou Guandi Temple, which has been in existence for more than 1,400 years, is the earliest, largest, highest-ranking, and best-preserved Guandi Temple. 🌟Highlights: 1️⃣Four Dragon Wall It is a glazed shadow wall made during the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, located south of the main gate of the Guandi Ancestral Temple. The picture is divided into three realms from top to bottom: heaven, earth, and sea. The main body is four dragons flying and swimming, lined with phoenixes, unicorns, jade rabbits and other auspicious birds and beasts, giving this four-dragon wall a lot of traditional cultural connotations. 2️⃣Chrysanthemum Caisson The architectural style of Chunqiu Building is unique and the structure is ingenious. Its biggest feature is its cantilever column structure, which gives people the feeling of a pavilion in the air. It is the only example of this construction form in ancient Chinese architecture. The "Chrysanthemum Caisson" with two eyes upside down is extremely exquisite. This kind of caisson structure is extremely rare in the country, showing the wisdom and skills of ancient architects. 3️⃣Three Gates: Duanmen, Zhi Gate, Wumen The architectural layout of Jiezhou Guandi Temple is the traditional "front court and back bedroom" and symmetrical palace layout in China. On the central axis, there are Duanmen, Zhi Gate, Wumen, Yushu Building, Chongning Hall, and Chunqiu Building in order. There are wooden squares, stone squares, stele pavilions, bell pavilions and east and west corridors on both sides. The towering buildings are lined with towering pines and cypresses, which are quite royal. 4️⃣Four plaques: The temple is hung with Kangxi's imperial pen "Yi Bing Qian Kun", Qianlong's imperial "Shen Yong", Xianfeng's imperial book "Wan Shi Ren Ji", and Cixi's own book "Wei Ling Zhen Die". 5️⃣Iron Lion The lion of Jiezhou Guandi Temple is proud and majestic; the iron man is a foreigner with a high nose and deep eyes, who is a foreigner who feeds lions, and is a fine casting of the Ming Dynasty. It not only has high value for studying the casting technology of the Ming Dynasty, but also provides important physical evidence for studying ancient costumes. 🕙Opening hours: 08:00-18:00 🎫Scenic spot ticket: CNY 60 📍Detailed address: No. 145, May 1st Road, Yanhu District, Yuncheng City
