Qu Yuan temple

Quyuan ancestral hall includes Mountain Gate, main hall and left and right side hall. The gate is a stele square with four pillars and three floors. It is 14 meters high. In the middle of the gate, it is inscribed with the words "Qinglie Temple" and on both sides, it is inscribed with the words "Guzhong" and "Liufang". The main hall is a steel plate concrete structure, with Ming and Qing style, green tile eaves. Towering above the platform, it is more and more magnificent. The tomb of Qu Yuan behind the main hall is a tomb built by people. The gate Que and stone square in front of the tomb are all the original objects of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty.

Quyuan temple is located on the mountain and faces the river with beautiful scenery. Looking south from here, you can see the peaks on the South Bank of the great river. Dragon boat races are held here every Dragon Boat Festival. At that time, colorful boats will be flying on the river, and tourists will be weaving on the shore.

There is also Qu Yuan's hometown near Zigui City, which is Qu Yuan's birthplace. Its reputation is no less than Qu Yuan's ancestral hall, and it can be used as an auxiliary tour point of Qu Yuan's ancestral hall. In 820 A.D., Wang Maoyuan, the right general of Shence, took up the post of governor of Guizhou. He sighed that Qu Yuan "gave birth to a spirit, but there was no temple to see", so he built a Qu Yuan Temple in qutuo, 5 Li East of Zhoucheng. He wrote a preface to the inscription of the ancestral hall of Mr. Qu, the doctor of the three Lu of Chu Dynasty. This is about the earliest Quyuan temple in Zigui. In the third year of Yuanfeng in the Northern Song Dynasty (1080 A.D.), Zhao Xu, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, granted Qu Yuan the title of "Qinglie Gong", and returned to the state to raise funds to build a "Qinglie Gong Temple" in qutuo. The ancestral temple is a quadrangle courtyard with a hard top. It is composed of a gate, an auxiliary room, a main hall and a back hall. Its building area is 350 square meters. It faces the chutai mountain and faces the river.

In the first year of yuantaiding (1324 A.D.), Wang Tuge, the governor of Guizhou, did not spend a lot of time repairing the Qinglie temple, which was almost abandoned. In the second year of the Yuan Dynasty (1342 AD), mieerhama, the governor of the prefecture, proposed to rebuild the temple. He took part of his salary and took the lead in advocating it. The rich and gentry sponsored the construction of the new temple in the third year. Mieerhama proposed to change it to "qingliegong Temple", and asked Huguang Confucianism to recommend Huang qinglao to write a "qingliegong Temple". In the 25th year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1597 AD), Wang Jingyang in the 8th year of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty (1669 AD), Ling Ruhuan in the 11th year of Yongzheng (1733 AD), Wang Peigao in the 46th year of Qianlong (1781 AD), and Li Huojin in the 25th year of Jiaqing (1820 AD) were repaired successively. After the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was repaired twice in the 1960s. Later, due to the construction of Gezhouba Water conservancy project, the reservoir water level rose. In July 1976, it was moved to xiangjiaping, 3 Li East of Zigui County. The ancestral temple covers an area of 20.7 mu. The main project started in February 1977 and was completed on June 25, 1982. It was renamed "Quyuan Temple". The gate of the new temple keeps the original appearance of Qinglie temple and expands its scale, with a 17 meter high archway and a 7-meter left-right room. The archway is covered with glazed tiles. The first class corner is a fish, the second class is a dragon, the third class is a grass dragon, and the middle ridge is a vase. On the front of the archway, in the middle is the dawn
