In the 20th year of the Wanli Period of the Ming Dynasty (1592), on the original site of the Guan Temple in the Han Dynasty, it was expanded to cover an area of more than 200 acres, with four courtyards and 150 halls and halls. The “Qianqiujian” building standing on the square is where the old “Deng Ying Luo Gu Hua Xing Wang” . The Ming Dynasty stone lions, separated on both sides of the gate, are sloppy and inviolable.
