The Sacred Hall is located in Jiashan County, near the Wufu Bridge, and was originally built in the third year of the Wanli era of the Ming Dynasty. It was formerly known as ‘Panggong Temple’, dedicated to the worship of Pang Shangpeng, who was a patrol officer of peace. Guan Yu, known as the God of War, is considered alongside Confucius, the Sage of Culture, as an eternal model for all generations, hence the name ‘The Sacred Hall’.
The Sacred Hall is a three-stage courtyard complex, and the deities enshrined within do not strictly adhere to the distinctions of Taoism or Buddhism.
During the beginning of the year, vendors gather at the Sacred Hall, offering a variety of local snacks, New Year paintings, and toys that are abundant and dazzling. Residents, young and old, come to the Sacred Hall to pray for blessings, enjoy snacks, or buy toys for their children, creating a bustling and lively atmosphere.
The opening hours and specific business status are subject to the day’s operations.
