The Historical Evolution of the Town God Temple in Puning
Puning City God Temple was rebuilt and built many times in Ming and Qing Dynasties.

In the thirty-fourth year of Qing Emperor Kangxi, Zhao Mianzhou, a magistrate of a county, rebuilt the nave and the gatehouse gallery.

In the forty-eighth year of Kangxi, Andingmei, a magistrate of a county, rebuilt the back hall, two corridors and six courtyards, becoming a palace-style ancient building with three halls and two wells. It is 27 meters wide from east to west and 60 meters deep from north to south, with a total construction area of 1620 square meters. The front hall is Sanshanmen, and the gatehouse is dedicated to Maguan. There are clairvoyant eyes and ears in the door. The central hall is giving alms to Lord Boff (commonly known as Lord God). The back hall is divided into halls, dedicated to Mrs. City God, eighteen arhats and Guanyin with a thousand hands respectively. Between the main hall and the back hall, there is a releasing pond for stocking turtles and planting Metasequoia glyptostroboides. There is an arch bridge in the middle of the pool with white stone railings on both sides. In terms of plane layout, the temple boldly integrates garden buildings such as ponds and arch bridges into the layout of the temple. The architectural structure retains the style and local characteristics of the Ming Dynasty and has high historical, artistic and architectural research value. 65438-0998 was listed as a cultural relic protection unit in Puning City.
