Introduction of Shanghai Chenghuang Temple Scenic Spots

Shanghai City God Temple has the following attractions: Yu Garden, City God Temple Hall, Tai Sui Temple, City God Temple and Theater.

1, Yuyuan Garden: Yuyuan Garden is a private garden in the garden, adjacent to Shanghai Old Town God Temple in the southwest, and a national key cultural relic protection unit. This used to be the private garden of Pan Yunduan, the envoy of Sichuan Province. The garden layout has the architectural features of wuyue. It has four basic elements of China gardens: water, plants, architecture and rockery. At the same time, the landscape expression reflects the China garden skills such as borrowing scenery and blocking scenery.

2. Town God Temple Hall: The plaque of "Town God Temple" is hung at the main entrance of the Town God Temple Hall, accompanied by the couplet "Be a good person, live a peaceful life, do something good and learn ghosts and gods". In the main hall, there is a statue of General Huo Guang, the God of Jinshan in Han Dynasty. The left is judge Wen, the right is judge Wu, followed by day patrol and night patrol, and the next is eight in the morning. On the first pair of columns, there is a couplet "Ling Wei has made outstanding contributions to protecting the country and saving the world, and the holy road has given manna to save the people" to praise the achievements of the city god, and there is a "herder" plaque hanging on it.

3. Tai Sui Dian: Tai Sui Dian is also called Chen Yuandian and Sixty Jiazi Dian. Tai Sui God is an ancient god in China, which is related to the fortune of every China person every year. In ancient China, heavenly stems and earthly branches matched the children from Jiazi to Guihai in a cycle, taking sixty as a week, so it was also called Sixty Jiazi. Since then, Taoism has used sixty jiazi to match the name of God, thus forming Chen Yuan's Taoist belief. Because the 60-year-old god is a star god, it is also called the traditional god.

4. Chenghuang Temple: The last entrance hall of Chenghuang Temple is Chenghuang Temple. Couplets are hung on both sides of the Town God Temple to praise the justice of the Town God. "The clues here are difficult to understand. To judge good and evil, we must know the selflessness of heaven." The plaque reads "Ling Wei is outstanding". There is also a couplet praising God in the temple, which says, "Heaven is selfless, good or bad luck is auspicious, good or bad luck is predicted, immortals should learn evil, be loyal and treacherous".

5. Theater: The ground of the theater is a passage, the stage is supported by four square stone pillars, and a horizontal plaque is hung under the bucket arch directly above the podium, which reads the words "one song rises to the next level". There are exquisite patterns carved on the forehead and the replacement of sparrows. There are a pair of carved wooden cages and a double-eaved roof at the platform entrance. The upper floor is an octagonal pyramid roof with eight ridges and a pavilion structure, and the lower floor is a rest peak with several arches, which is exquisite.
