Visiting Stone | Gaowangshan Guandi Temple, Tianhuang Town, Zoucheng City
The Guandi Temple in Tianhuang Town was first built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty and was dedicated to the village ancestral hall by the Zhang brothers in Dayukou Village. In the late Qing Dynasty, the five scholars of Zhang's father and son made the emperor's reputation widely spread, during which the incense was flourishing and the people around him lived well.
In the seventh year of the Republic of China, because the war affected the statue of the emperor, the villager Xi Zhongxun invited him to his home to worship the statue of the emperor.
In the 11th year of the Republic of China, villagers in Dayukou Village built a stone temple in Duojia Mountain (now Gaowangshan Mountain) to worship the statue of the emperor, and the villagers sincerely offered it. In the past few years, bandits were rampant around Dayukou village, but Dayukou village survived.
In 22 years of the Republic of China, villagers in Dayukou Village repaired the Dijun Hall again and paid a spectacular visit.
During the disintegration of capitalism in New China, the emperor's hall was destroyed, and statues and stone tablets were knocked down to build the Gao Roy Reservoir.
In 20 15, Xi Tao, a villager in Dayukou Village, rebuilt the Guandi Temple in Tianhuang Town with the help of everyone, and shaped the emperor's body, warning future generations to be kind and cultivating their lofty spirit.
On the southeast side of the square, there is a Buddhist temple monument in Mo Yun Temple rebuilt in the seventh year of Jiaqing (1802). There are two monuments with illegible handwriting.
