Taoist temple It is located two kilometers west of Beizhen City, Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province. Founded in the 14th year of Emperor Wendi (AD 594), it was then called the Yiwulu Mountain Shrine. It was rebuilt and expanded in Jin, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. Beizhen Temple is the mountain temple of Yiwulu Mountain in Beizhen. "Li Zhouzhi's Local Records" says: Youzhou is in the northeast, and its mountain city is a medical witch mound. Therefore, Yiwulu Mountain is a town mountain in the north of China. Successive dynasties have constantly praised and sealed. Yiwulu Mountain was named Guangning Gong in Sui Dynasty, Guangning King in Liao and Jin Dynasties, Zhende Guangning King in Yuan Dynasty and Beizhen Yiwulu Mountain God in early Ming Dynasty. According to historical documents, since the Sui Dynasty, all towns and villages in the Spring and Autumn Period have set up shrines, built temples and offered sacrifices on the mountains. Beizhen Temple is a place to worship the gods of Yiwulu Mountain. Since ancient times, visitors to Lushan Mountain have to go to Beizhen Temple to worship first, so there is a saying that "worship the temple first and then visit the mountain". The existing buildings maintain the Ming and Qing styles. [ 1]?

Beizhen Temple is the mountain temple of Yiwulu Mountain. There is a temple at the foot of the mountain, which was built in the Jin Dynasty. According to the inscription, the existing Beizhen Temple was basically rebuilt and expanded in the 19th year of Yongle (142 1) and the 8th year of Hongzhi (1495). Beizhen Temple is large in scale, with a width of 109 meters from east to west and a length of 240 meters from north to south. The buildings in the temple are arranged from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain. The main buildings in the temple are Yuxiang Hall, Daxiong Hall, Dressing Hall, Neixiang Hall and Sleeping Hall, which are built on the I-shaped high platform. There are stone archway, mountain gate, Shenma gate, bell and drum tower and other buildings in front of the five halls, followed by Xianrenyan and Cui Yun Screen. There are five halls in the Royal Fragrant Hall, where the imperial books of Chen Fang's court and the incense wax for royal sacrifice are provided. Behind Yuxiang Temple is Daxiong Hall, which is the symmetrical center of the whole building in the temple and the largest building in the temple. The main hall is 23.4 meters wide, with seven rooms wide and five rooms deep, which is the place for holding the ceremony of sweeping. The main hall is a resting-hill-style wooden frame structure, with blue bricks around the temple walls, green glazed tiles on the roof, carved beams and painted buildings, and red purlins; There are 32 portraits of famous civil servants and military commanders from the Han Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty painted on the wall, each with vivid expressions and still bright colors.

There are three dressing rooms behind the main hall, where ancestors change clothes before entering the main hall to worship. Then there are three inner incense halls, where local officials' sacrifices and incense are stored. The last bedroom is the inner residence of the mountain god, so it is second only to the main hall in scale. The imperial plaque "Yu Cong Qijia" presented by Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty hangs in the middle of the temple eyebrow, and there is a white stone fence around the main hall.
