In the "Nigong Temple", Ni Kuan, the imperial historian of the Han Dynasty in China, is enshrined. On the pillars on both sides of the ancestral hall, there is a pair of couplets praising Ni Kuan, an ancient emperor historian: "The history of emperors has lasted for a hundred years and will be passed down to future generations." As Ni Kuan lived and studied in Xiyang when he was a child, and personally handled Xiyang's economic cases after he entered politics, his integrity left an unforgettable impression on the local people. In memory of Ni Kuan, Emperor Jiajing of Ming Dynasty built "Nigong Temple", "The Hall with the Most Classes" and "Suimowing Building" during the Wanli period, planted cypress trees, established Suimowing Academy during the Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty, and set up a central school in the Republic of China, and named this place "Niqiu".

Buildings such as "Nigong Temple" and "Jingchu Building" were listed as key cultural relics protection units by Anhui Provincial People's Government in 198 1 year.
Ni Kuan's private affairs.
Ni Kuan (BC 169- BC 103), also known as Erkuan, was born in Jani Village, Shicun Town, Guangrao County, Shandong Province. He worked as an imperial doctor for eight years and was buried in his hometown after his death. Nine Ni Kuan, two Ni Kuan Fu and Ode to Zen. In the history of our country, Ni Kuan is not only an excellent supervisor, but also a famous politician, economist and water conservancy expert. He was diligent and eager to learn, worried about the country and the people, honest and clean, generously donated taxes, rewarded farming and built water conservancy projects, which had far-reaching influence.
Ban Gu, a historian and writer in the Eastern Han Dynasty, wrote the biography of Ni Kuan in a special chapter of the Book of the Later Han Dynasty. Chu Suiliang, a great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, held a famous calligraphy post with "Ni Kuanzan" written on it, praising Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for his good governance of the country, selecting talents and appointing talents, and making talents come forth in large numbers in the early Han Dynasty. There are dozens of people listed in Chu Wen, such as Dong Zhongshu, Sima Qian, Sang Hongyang, Ni Kuan, Zhang Qian, Su Wu and Huo Qubing. They are all great scholars, and it is hard for future generations to see such a grand occasion of talented people. But the title of Ni Kuanzan alone is enough to show the great prestige and influence of Ni Kuanzan.
Ni Kuan's father died young and his family was poor. His mother made a living as a helper. When Ni Kuan 10 was in his teens, he fled to Xiyang County (now Fuyang City, Anhui Province governs Taihe County) with his mother in the famine year. Unable to pay the tuition, Ni Kuan had to "work-study program" to help cook in the school kitchen in the county at that time, so as to gain the opportunity to learn. He is also often employed as a short-term worker. Whenever he works in the fields, he always hangs the classics such as Tao Te Ching, The Analects of Confucius, The Book of Filial Piety, The Five Classics (Poems, Books, Rites, I Ching, Spring and Autumn Annals) on the hoe handle, and reads them carefully and studies them carefully at rest. Since then, Ni Kuan has been personally taught by Kong Anguo, a doctor of Confucian classics in the Western Han Dynasty, and Ouyang Sheng, a famous scholar in the Western Han Dynasty. He made great achievements in the study of Confucian classics, especially Shangshu, and was elected as a doctor by the county at that time.
Jinghe Building is the place where Ni Kuan studied when he was a child. Later generations built this square two-story building during the Jiaqing period of the Ming Dynasty to commemorate his "studious generosity for the people". The word "Jinghe Building" was written by Liang Xian, a famous calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty. Jinghe Academy was built in the forty years of Qing Qianlong. Ni Kuan's diligent and studious spirit inspires future generations to realize the value of life. The allusion of "weeding by classics" has therefore become a common idiom to describe the poor life but still insist on learning. Emperor Kangxi also took "weeding by classics" as an allusion, and presented three vigorous Chinese characters of "weeding by classics" to Wang Shizhen, the minister of punishments and the leader of poetry circles, to encourage learning.
During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, it was built by later generations to commemorate Ni Kuan, one of the eight scenic spots in Taihe, who was "studious and generous to others", which was called "hoe the building to reflect the moon" in history. Nigong Temple-The year of construction is unknown. According to historical records, the magistrate of a county was rebuilt in the second year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, and Song Zhongxiu was the magistrate of a county in the forty years of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. In the fifth year of Tongzhi in Qing Dynasty, the magistrate of a county donated 220 taels of silver every year, which was rebuilt by local Ma Huaizhen. In the late Qing Dynasty, the school was renamed Xunshi Primary School. After being run by soldiers, the collection of books has disappeared. Jing Chulou, a square two-story building, was built in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, and was named to commemorate Jing Chulou written by Ni Kuan by Guo Liang, a great calligrapher in Qing Dynasty.
