How about Guandi Temple? Is Guandi Temple worth visiting?

Guandi Temple may be unheard of by many friends. This place is still worth visiting. In fact, the temple can't be said to be worth visiting. You can go to any temple as long as you have compassion.

How about Guandi Temple?

There are many cast iron statues and sacrificial utensils in Guandi Temple.

Four pairs of iron lions stand in front of the pier, the Chongning Hall, the courtyard outside the Spring and Autumn Building and the Mupai Building. There are three pairs of iron men: the Hu people in front of Chongning Hall, the Hu people outside the courtyard of Chunqiu Building and the Hu people in front of the wooden archway. In front of the Chongning Temple, a pair of giant iron furnaces are located on both sides. A pair of towering iron flagpoles, a pair of cranes on both sides of the big iron tripod, several huge incense burners, and the dragon crescent moon blade of Guan Gong Sheng Di.

A pair of big lions on both sides of the end gate looked up at the sky, whistling upward and imposing.

The lion took off the hydrangea and the lioness guarded the little lion. The little lion is also screaming, which is quite king-like.

This pair of iron lions was cast by private fund-raising. People donate silver, iron, wheat and rice.

Leo's supporters have many names.

Leo has many beautiful patterns, such as dragons, phoenixes, cranes and lotus flowers. The composition is vivid and realistic.

Judging from the words on the pedestal, the iron lion was cast in the forty-eight years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty.

Both Puzhou City and Hejin County participated in the casting project.

The "Royal Horse Stud" in front of the terminal consists of three polished iron pillars.

The emperor ordered that the officials and civil servants who passed through this gate get off the sedan chair and the military attache get off the horse to show respect and awe for Guan Gong and the Holy Emperor.

There are towering flagpoles in front of Chongning Temple, as well as big iron lions and conference semifinals.

The male lion caresses the hydrangea and the female lion protects the young lion. The big lion is majestic, and the little lion is playing in the care, complacent.

Leo has many, many supporters' names.

Take a closer look, the cast iron technology hundreds of years ago was so exquisite!

The overall shape is exquisite, the local details are exquisite, and the lines are exquisite.

A pair of conference semifinals stood beside the iron lion, imposing.

Their slightly bent knees and bent elbows make people seem to see prominent muscles and contained strength.

The flagpole towering into the sky is carried by a down-to-earth elephant and stands firmly on the ground. Many providers' names are cast on the lower part of the flagpole.

Dragons cast on flagpoles are flying in Xiangyun, lifelike.

There are words "Five Years of Yongzheng" on the flagpole; Outside the clothes of the conference semifinals, there is "March Casting in the Thirty-eighth Year of Jiajing"

There is no literature, but the limited words on the cast iron statue leave room for imagination and convey rich information. You should be careful when you visit. "Pay attention everywhere and you will learn."

There is a tall stove on both sides of Chongning Hall.

Burning stove is an instrument used to burn table silk, paper and other "three sacrifices" when the temple holds sacrificial activities.

This pair of burners was cast in the third year of Jiajing in Daming (AD 1524). The overall design is fine and the casting is exquisite, which is a masterpiece with dignity.

The total height of the burner is 8.95 meters, which is divided into two parts.

The upper part is divided into two ten-corner pyramid-shaped roofs, just like a ten-prism tower pavilion.

The lower part of the burner has a very high base and two waist layers.

Ten Hercules stood at the four corners respectively, propping up the upper part of the burner; At the bottom are turtle feet and animal faces.

Outside the burner, there are various patterns: galloping horses, soldiers riding and shooting, black dragons rolling and auspicious clouds fluttering, and phoenix dancing.

The bell tower on the north side of Chongning Hall was rebuilt in the 14th year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (AD 1800). The big iron clock hanging in the building was cast in the seventeenth year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty (AD 1660).

Standing on the bell tower, two wooden stakes hit the iron bell. The bell is rich and long, with a long history and great changes.

On the high platform of Chongning Hall, there are Fang Ding and tin cans.

It is recorded on the iron cylinder that in March of the 22nd year of Ming Wanli, Chongning Palace in Xiezhou.

Under the high platform of Chongning Hall, there is a round tripod. The four characters on the periphery of the tripod: wind, tone, rain and smoothness, express the wishes of people who come to pray.

May Guan Gong and Emperor Sheng bless his hometown all the year round and let people live and work in peace and contentment.

The huge square roof received incense to pray. Incense, with people's wishes, rises and rises.

Crane, with a beautiful meaning of "longevity", represents people's desire for "health and longevity"

Guan Gong's dragon crescent moon blade is firmly inserted in the solid tool rest. If you want to dance with a knife, you really need the power of Guan Gong Sheng Di.

On both sides of the entrance of the Spring and Autumn Building, there are semi-finals at each stop. Compared with the first two, their demeanor is obviously quiet and calm.

People who come to Guan Gong for sightseeing are regardless of race or nationality.

Standing on both sides of the door, besides two conference semifinals, there are two lions looking at each other.

So far, we have seen pairs of lions in front of the door, whether carved with wood, stone or cast with iron. The male lion is always stroking hydrangeas, while the female lion is always taking care of the cubs. It just looks different.

On both sides of the wooden archway in front of the spring and autumn building, there are also a pair of lions and conference semifinals.

Ren Hu's corpse records: In April of the 20th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, there were a pair of Hui people in Jiezhou and a pair of Guan Lao Shen lions.

A dense list of providers from all walks of life, men and women.

The patterns on Leo are exquisite and lifelike.

Every giant cast iron statue and utensil in Guandi Temple was completed with the donation of many donors. The whole people admire Guan Gong, and Qi Xin works together to create Qixin Project; Only when people pay tribute to Guan Di will Guan Gong's spirit and culture be passed down from generation to generation.

Often visiting Guandi Temple, I often feel uneasy: as a Shengdi person of Guan Gong, I don't know enough about Guan Gong culture; As a native of Xiezhou, I know little about the profound cultural heritage of Guandi Temple, but I can't help but hide my shame.

Every time you go to Guandi Temple, you really have to be careful. We should not only appreciate and enjoy the natural beauty, but also pay attention to pictures and words.

Visiting Guandi Temple and seeing cast iron statues and sacrificial utensils can also bathe us in the profound Guan Gong culture.
