What is the world's first city god temple hidden in the deep mountains of Shanxi Province?

Traveling to cities in China, I found that most of them have temples, and the God inside is the God who guards the peace and prosperity of a town. This kind of temple is usually built in the urban area, but the temple in Xihuo Town, Shangdang District, Changzhi City, Shanxi Province is built on a relatively remote mountain. It used to be called Tianziling, but now it is called Shenling, about 25 kilometers southeast of Changzhi City. Such a remote Town God Temple covers an area of more than 2,000 mu and is known as the Town God Temple in the world.

Why not call it the City God Temple and add one in front? Both? Where are the words?

Listen to me slowly.

The world god temple can be understood as the first city god temple in the world, where the master of the city god manages the world god.

Changzhi City God Temple, the capital of the world, was built on the mountain. Is it a bit like that? Tiangong? .

After walking up the stairs and passing through the vast square and magnificent buildings, you can see a huge incense standing upright. What is written on the stone wall in front of the incense? The best perfume in the world? Five big characters.

There is a legend about the origin of the name of Changzhi Chenghuang Temple.

Many tourists know that the Han Dynasty was one of the most powerful dynasties in China, and it was divided into the upper half and the lower half like the Song Dynasty. Xi 'an was the capital of the first half of the Han Dynasty, that is, the Western Han Dynasty. In the second half of the Han Dynasty, Luoyang, Chang 'an and Xuchang were established as capitals respectively, among which Xi 'an, the capital, was in the east for a long time and was called the Eastern Han Dynasty, which was artificially added by later generations.

At the end of the Western Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the throne and Liu Xiu was forced to flee. When I got to Tianziling, I was unable to escape. Seeing that the pursuer was coming, he broke into a dilapidated mountain temple and pierced a big hole in the spider web of the gate. If Wang Mang's pursuers chase here and see this broken spider web, Liu Xiu will die.

Seeing that the crisis is difficult to solve, Liu Xiu can only pray before God, praying for the mountain god to cure the spider web, and promising that if his wish comes true, he will make the mountain god a city god one day after he ascended the throne. Unexpectedly, just after making a wish, the spider web really healed automatically, and the pursuer came here, expecting Liu Xiu to flee to other places and had to turn back. Liu Xiu, who is in shock, is full of gratitude to the mountain gods. After he acceded to the throne, he fulfilled his promise and sealed the mountain temple for? Is the world a city god? And reconstruction, so that the original remote, incense is not prosperous temple status soared, surname? The emperor? Words.

Legends are legends after all, and some of them are deified, but they bring talk to tourists.

Changzhi Tianxia City God Temple is magnificent, beautifully built and the details show the royal temperament. The painting style on the beams and columns is similar to that of the Forbidden City, Temple of Heaven and Jingshan Park in Beijing.
