The national heritage site in Yuncheng that has been closed for over 20 years has finally opened

San Guan Temple in Shanxi Yuncheng has been closed for over 20 years, and it seems to have opened recently, but the map still shows it as (not open to the public). I went there directly and indeed was met with a closed door. During lunchtime, I called the temple keeper, and the auntie put down her chopsticks, rode over on her little electric scooter, and opened the door for us, even expressing her apologies. It feels like the attitude of temple keepers in Shanxi is getting better and better, Shanxi is mighty, Shanxi's culture and tourism are mighty... What are the Three Officials? Heavenly Official, Earthly Official, Water Official Deities in Taoism 🏯 About San Guan Temple There are two existing halls, the main hall and the offering hall, with inscriptions from the Yuan dynasty on the wooden pillars. Both the Ming and Qing dynasties have made repairs. The main hall worships the Three Officials, with colored sculptures of maids and courtiers on the side, and on both sides are the exaggerated facial expressions of Tian Peng and Tian You, Hei Sha and Zhen Wu, four marshals (feels like the Four Heavenly Kings in Buddhism), most of which are original colored sculptures from the Yuan dynasty. A lot of them have big mouths, isn't Tian Peng Marshal supposed to be Zhu Bajie? Why does he also have a Super Saiyan hairstyle... The three main statues of San Guan Temple are absolutely stunning, the three brothers with expressionless faces and slightly dark complexions, exuding a bit of arrogance amidst their seriousness, their eyes looking upwards, not deigning to look directly at people... Probably because we mortals are not worthy... The national heritage site that has been closed for over 20 years I finally caught up with it‼️
