Yue Fei Temple

Yue Fei Temple, originally named Jingzhong Temple, is located at No. 84, Yue Temple Street, Tangyin County, Anyang City, Henan Province. It was built by the people to commemorate the national hero Yue Fei. Yue Fei, courtesy name Pengju, was a native of Tangyin and a famous general of the Song Dynasty. He was born in the second year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty (1103) and was wrongfully executed in the 11th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1142). In the first year of Longxing (1163), he was exonerated. He was posthumously awarded the titles of King Wumu, King of E, and King Zhongwu. The temple was built in the first year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty (1450) and has been repaired several times. It now has more than 90 rooms, including Jingzhong Archway, Imperial Stele Pavilion, Main Hall, East and West Wing Rooms, and Sleeping Hall, and nearly 200 steles from different dynasties. It is valuable for the study of architecture and calligraphy, and especially for patriotic education. In 1958, the Yue Fei Memorial Hall was established, and in 1963, the original Provincial People's Committee announced it as the first batch of cultural relics protection units in Henan Province.

The Battle of the Gods, originating from King Wen being trapped in Yuli | The Bagua formation is too difficult to navigate

After watching director Wuershan's movie "Fengshen", I always wanted to visit the actual site of the legendary Battle of the Gods. Last week's battle mainly took place in today's Shanxi, Shaanxi, and Henan regions, with Henan being close to the then Shang capital Chaoge, where King Zhou imprisoned King Wen Ji Chang. Mencius said: 'King Wen was confined and thus explained the I Ching.' The place where King Wen was said to be imprisoned is today's Yuli City. Yuli City Ruins, located on King Wen Road in Tangyin County, Anyang City, Henan Province, also known as the Temple of King Wen, is the first prison in Chinese history with historical evidence and a verifiable location, and it is also the birthplace of the I Ching culture. Historical anecdotes such as 'drawing the ground as a prison' and 'King Wen was confined and thus explained the I Ching' all originated from here. The Yuli City scenic area is divided into two parts: the front and the back. The front area includes the place where King Wen explained the I Ching, the main hall, the Xixin Pavilion, the Wan Zhan Pavilion, the Imperial Stele Pavilion, the Yi Stele Pavilion, the Explaining I Ching Platform, etc.; the back area includes the Fuxi Temple, the Tu'er Tomb, the Tai Gong Temple, the Laozi Temple, the Confucius Temple, the Twelve Zodiac Stone Carvings, and the Bagua formation, etc. The most interesting part of the scenic area is the Bagua formation, which is not easy to navigate, and patience is definitely required. I walked for an hour and a half.

Serve the country with the utmost loyalty

Yue Fei was from Tangyin in Henan, and the story of his mother tattooing the words 'Serve the country with the utmost loyalty' on his back took place in the old Yue family house in Tangyin. After Yue Fei was wrongfully killed, people built the Jingzhong Temple (the time of initial construction is unknown) on the foundation of the old Yue family house to commemorate him. Over time and through wars, the temple gradually fell into ruin. It was rebuilt in the first year of the Jingtai era of the Ming Dynasty (1450 AD), and since then, it has been expanded and repaired by successive generations, resulting in its current state. The temple not only worships Yue Fei but also his descendants and relatives. Many famous people from different generations have left their inscriptions and steles here, totaling nearly 400 pieces. Emperor Qianlong also left a poem inscribed on a stele when he came to pay his respects.

King Wen was imprisoned and interpreted the Book of Changes in Youli City

Friends who have watched 'The Investiture of the Gods' should be familiar with King Wen of Zhou. And Youli City is the place where King Zhou imprisoned King Wen Ji Chang, so it is known as the first prison in China with historical evidence and addressable location. It is said that King Wen of Zhou was trapped here for 7 years. During this period, he deduced 64 hexagrams and 384 lines based on the eight trigrams of Fuxi, and put forward the viewpoint of 'the rigid and the soft are relative, and the change is in it' which is rich in simple dialectics. This is what the Historical Records calls 'King Wen was imprisoned and interpreted the Book of Changes'. The surface relics of 3000 years ago naturally no longer exist. The halls we see now are mostly newly built around 1993, but some inscriptions are left from the Ming and Qing dynasties. Recently, cultural tourism in various places is attracting tourists in various ways, and Youli City is no exception. I saw a young lady from the local cultural tourism department recording a video on the spot. Behind the scenic area, there is a maze designed according to the Book of Changes. It is intricate and full of mechanisms. Watching people have fun looking for the exit inside, it seems to complement each other. ——Travel tips—— ▫️Ticket: 34 yuan for online purchase. ▫️Opening hours: 8 am to 5:30 pm. ▫️Tour time: 1-2 hours. ▫️Tourism and protection level: 4A scenic spot, the fourth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. ▫️Tips: Drone friendly.

Yue Fei's Hometown Honors the Heroic Spirit | Tangyin Yue Fei Temple

There are three Yue Fei Temples, located in Tangyin, Henan (birthplace), Zhuxian Town, Kaifeng (battlefield), and Hangzhou (place of harm), to commemorate the anti-Jin hero Yue Fei. The construction time of Yue Fei Temple in Tangyin is unknown, but the main building preserved today was rebuilt in the first year of Ming Jingtai (1450) and has been maintained since then. The architectural complex is structured in two routes. The left route consists mainly of Jingzhong Archway, Mountain Gate, Imperial Stele Pavilion, Main Hall, Yue Yun Shrine, Four Sons Shrine, and Xiao E Shrine. The right route is for commemorating Yue Fei's parents and ancestors, with the remains of Yue Mother's Tattoo Shrine, Three Generations Shrine, etc. The two routes are interconnected.

At the entrance is the Shi Quan Shrine. In front of the shrine are five cast iron kneeling statues of Qin Hui, Wang, Wan Sizhen, Zhang Jun, and Wang Jun; inside the shrine is a statue of Shi Quan, holding a demon-slaying sword, glaring at the villains. Shi Quan was originally a military officer in Yue Fei's army and wanted to assassinate Qin Hui to avenge Yue Fei's death, but was killed by the treacherous officials. Through the Qianlong Imperial Stele Pavilion, we come to the main hall. Hanging in front of the main hall door are five huge plaques, namely 'Nai Wu Nai Wen', 'Hometown Zuzhou', 'Loyal Spirit Shows Min', 'Hundred Battles Jingwei', and 'Qiankun Zhengqi'. Among them, 'Hundred Battles Shenwei' and 'Loyal Spirit Wei Min' were inscribed by Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty. In the center of the main hall is a colored statue of Yue Fei, over a foot tall, heroic and imposing, with a righteous aura. Hanging above is the 'Return My Rivers and Mountains' gold-plated giant plaque, written by Yue Fei. The beautifully painted beams and columns in the hall reflect the people's respect for Yue Fei.
