After years of careful building, Guandi Temple in Haizhou has developed into a worldwide famous cultural relic tourism brand and become a holy land for tourists and pilgrims at home and abroad to look around and trace their families’ roots.

Guandi Temple in Haizhou

Guandi Temple in Haizhou was first built in 589 AD at the beginning of the Sui Dynasty and was extended in the following dynasties. Most of the structures and buildings were restored or reconstructed during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is located in Haizhou County, 20 kilometers away from Yuncheng City, with magnificent Zhongtiao Mountain to the south and vase expanse of Salt Lake to the north. Temples, pavilions, lakes and mountains enhance each other’s beauty. Covering a total area of 220,000 square meters, Guandi Temple is a well-preserved and large-scale ancient construction group. Its layout resembles China’s traditional “front court and back chambers” and the axisymmetric palace. And along the axis are placed the three gateways Duanmen, Zhimen and Wumen, and the Yushu Tower, Chongning Hall and the Spring and Autumn Tower, flanking with memorial archways made of wood or stone, stone tablet pavilion, bell pavilion, the east-to-west corridors and old towering cypresses, which all suggest an air of royal palace. Hanging in the temple are plaques inscribed by Emperor Kangxi, Emperor Qianlong, Emperor Xianfeng, and Empress Dowager Cixi, which can be regarded as treasures. As the essence of the buildings in the temple, the Spring and Autumn Building is recognized as the treasure of ancient architecture in China because of its unique two-story suspension beam and column structure.

Jieyi Garden

Situated on the north and south sides of Duanmen, Jieyi Garden was first built in 1620 AD during the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty. In the garden, there is a four-storey and three-room pailou with a roof made of wood and colored glaze. Two plaques inscribed with “Jieyi Garden” and “Shan Xiong Shui Kuo” written in 27th year under the reign of Emperor Qianlong (1762 AD) by Yan Rusa (the governor of Haizhou County then) are hung respectively in the front and back of the pailou. On the wall are painted natural sceneries and people & stories during the period of Three Kingdoms. With its delicate structure and grandiosity, this pailou is considered the most magnificent wooden pailou in the temple.

The Four Dragon Screen

To the south of the Duanmen Gateway is a colorful glazed four dragon screen which was made during the reign of Xuande in Ming Dynasty (1426AD—1435AD). Architecturally, it can achieve the effect of hindering vision and enriching the spacial layers of the landscape; culturally, it belongs to the category of “fu rui” in Chinese traditional Fengshui, aiming at eliminating disasters and blessing the lives. On the screen, the painting is divided into three areas from top to bottom, namely the sky, the earth and the sea, with four flying dragons as its main part and other auspicious beasts like phoenixes, kylins, jade rabbits as foil, which conveys rich cultural connotation.

Duanmen Gateway

Duanmen Gateway is the south gate of Guandi Temple, lying in the southmost of the temple complex. It was rebuilt during the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty, the date when it was first built unknown. Duanmen is a primitive and magnificent brick structure palace door. Its exterior brick carving looks like wood construction. In the middle of the lintel was engraved three Chinese characters “Guan di miao” (Guandi Temple), and above the back of the gateway was hung a plaque inscribed with “Fu Han Ren Wu”. Next to the middle archway at each side are two sub-archways with the plaque “Jing Zhong Guan Ri” hung on the lintel of the east and “Da Yi Can Tian” the west. Owing to its harmonious architectural proportion, elegant shape and vigorous carvings, Duanmen Gateway can be regarded as one of the best brick doors in Ming Dynasty.

The Bell Tower and the Drum Tower

The Bell Tower and the Drum Tower are located on the east and west sides of the two gateways Duanmen and Zhimen, and is respectively connected with the east and west corner of the main temple’s front wall. They were constructed in the  37thyear of Wanli in Ming Dynasty, and the existing buildings are the relics of Qianlong period in Qing Dynasty. These two towers both have square plan and two floors. The lower layer is a brick pier and the upper layer is covered by a double-eave wooden roof in the “Xieshan” style, with tile roofs made of glass components and all kinds of vivid legendary-animal-shaped ornaments on it. The two towers have the same shape, appearance and symmetrical position, and are of loft style. Their main purpose is to hang the bell and the drum to strengthen their prestige.

Zhimen Gatewa

Located in the axis of the temple complex, to the north of Duanmen Gateway, Zhimen Gateway is the second gate of the temple which is dedicated to the emperor. When it was built is unclear but it was repaired in Ming Dynasty. The existing building was rebuilt in the late Qing Dynasty. Zhimen Gateway is three bays wide and two bays deep, with a single-eave roof in “Xieshan” style. On the north of this gateway is the music building, which shares the same platform base and tile eave with Zhimen. This music building, sitting south facing north, is a place to worship the emperor and show gratitude to the gods as well.

 

Yushu Tower

Yushu Tower, formerly named Bagua Tower, is located in the center of the axis of the temple complex. The existing building were mainly built during the reign of Kangxi and Qianlong in Qing Dynasty. There is a one bay room protruding from the front, the roof of which adopts the Chinese traditional “Wudian” style with single eave; while from the back there comes a three bays room with a single eave curled roof. The ceiling is constructed in carved wooden octagonal caisson, with the design of “Bagua” on the top, hence the name “Bagua Building”. In the 42th year of Kangxi (1703 AD), Emperor Kangxi made a pilgrimage to the west to worship Guan Yu, and wrote four characters “Yi Bing Qian Kun” (righteousness of the universe) to honor him. Then in the 27th year of Qianlong (1762 AD), Emperor Qianlong changed its name to “Yushu” (meaning it is written by the emperor) in order to commemorate Emperor Kangxi.

The Bell Pavilion and the Stele Pavilion

Located on the east and west sides of Chongning Hall, the Bell Pavilion and the Stele Pavilion were additionally built in Qing Dynasty. The Bell Pavilion is in front of Chongning Hall to the west and was reconstructed in the 14th year of Jiaqing (1890 AD). The iron bell in the pavilion was cast in 1660, the 17th year of Shunzhi in Qing Dynasty. On the opposite side in front of Chongning Hall is located the Stele Pavilion, where a poem monument left by Prince Guo (Yongzheng’s younger brother) in the 12th year of Yongzheng (1734 AD) is preserved. The two pavilions stand face to face, with similar scale and shape.

The Sword Tower and the Seal Tower

The Sword Tower and the Seal Tower are located on the two sides of the Spring and Autumn Building, with the Sword Tower to the east and the Seal Tower to the west. They have identical structure: the same width and depth of three bays and three layers of eave in Chinese traditional cross Xieshan style above the second floor. The sword of Guan Yu (A green dragon that blurs the moonlight) is placed in the Sword Tower while his official seal (Shou ting hou in Han Dynasty) is displayed in the Seal Tower.

The Spring and Autumn Building

Located at the end of the axis, the Spring and Autumn Building is the resting palace of Guan Yu. It was also called “Lin jing ge”. The reason why it was well known for the name “the Spring and Autumn Building” is simply because Guan Yu had been reading the classic book Spring and Autumn here at night. The exact date when this building was first built is unknown and we only know that it was rebuilt during Wanli reign in Ming Dynasty. It’s seven bays wide and six bays deep, with double storeys, triple eaves and “Xieshan” style roof. A statue of Guan Yu in military costume is shrined on the first floor while a real-sized statue of Guan Yu reading Spring and Autumn at night on the second floor. The full text of Spring and Autumn was carved in the inner wall of the warm partition. There are three “caissons” hanging from the top, and “suspended beams and columns” around the building, all of which are treasures of ancient architecture.

The temple was Guan Yu’s former residence, where he had been living since birth and till his escape. After his death, local people and his descendants built this temple as a worship place to commemorate Guan Yu and his ancestors for three generations, hence the earliest Guandi Temple in the world and the earliest birthplace and distribution of Guan Gong Culture as well.
