Memorial Temple Guide

"Xian Zong Temple" was first built during the Jiajing period of the Ming dynasty, and the existing ancient temple was rebuilt during the Qianlong period. The scale and delicacy of this temple rank among the top five in Panyu, and the complex Ruyi Dougong under the eaves of the main gate is the biggest highlight. When you walk into the door pillow stones (stone piers on both sides of the main gate) on both sides of the main gate, you will find the image of a foreigner on the stone carving (which is rare in ancient temples). Looking at the two sides of the Dougong structure, there are two lying lion-shaped wood carvings. This structure is actually a lion-shaped Tuo pier. In the late Qing dynasty, the main gate of the temple in the Guangfu area often saw cute stone lions on the stone beams (shrimp beams), which were the standing lion Tuo piers (lion Tuo piers) in the late Qing dynasty style, while the early Qing dynasty Guangfu temples had lying lion Tuo piers. If you have a pair of "golden eyes," you may find more interesting details during your visit. Panyu is one of the wealthiest areas in ancient Guangfu. Friends who are interested in the ancient culture of the Pearl River Delta (region) can take advantage of weekends and holidays to visit this exquisite large ancient temple.
