According to experts' research, there are still architectural relics of the Zhou Dynasty here. On both sides of the central axis are corridors and pavilions. The archway is three rooms and four columns, granite stone, and the front is engraved with the words "The sea does not attract waves" inscribed by Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Toumen was built in the Qing Dynasty, with three rooms wide and two rooms deep.

Houdian is a reinforced concrete building rebuilt during Chen's rule in Guangdong in 1930s. When 199 1 was completed, a new tile ridge was installed in the back hall. This temple is called "Southern Forest of Steles" because it collects the imperial memorial tablets of emperors and the inscriptions of famous people such as Han Yu and Su Shi. Superb architectural skills and immortal artistic value fully embody the wisdom and strength of the working people of the ancient Han nationality.

Architectural structure of Nanhai Temple;
When you come to Miaotou Village in Huangpu, east of Guangzhou, an ancient and magnificent temple stands in your sight. It is a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit and an important site of foreign maritime traffic and trade in ancient Guangzhou, China. Nanhai Temple is one of the most intact and largest buildings in ancient China. The temple was built in the 14th year of Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty (594) and has a history of 14 15 years. Later generations were rebuilt and expanded. The existing buildings are in the Qing Dynasty, but they still retain the scale and organizational system of the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Since 1988, the government has also carried out three major repairs to Nanhai Temple, and now it has basically restored its original appearance.
Only the temple was left before the restoration. Now the temple is huge, covering an area of 30,000 square meters. Its main building is Wujin Hall, and from south to north are Toumen, Yimen and Corridor, Ritual Pavilion, Main Hall and Zhaoling Palace in turn. There is a stone archway in front of Nanhai Temple, which says "Don't make waves". Many stone carvings of past dynasties are preserved in this temple. There are also ancillary buildings such as Huabiao, Shishi, Hanyu Monument Pavilion, Kaibao Monument Pavilion, Hongwu Monument Pavilion and Wan Li Bicheng Monument Pavilion in the Kangxi period, which constitute a number of ancient buildings with considerable scale. The temple also preserves the bronze drums and clocks of the Han and Ming dynasties, as well as important cultural relics, such as the jade seal of the South China Sea. There are also ancient and famous trees such as kapok and acacia. The bronze drum of Han Dynasty preserved here is one of the three existing bronze drums in China. There is a "Bathing Day Pavilion" on a hill to the west of the temple. The "Fuxi Bathing Day", one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, refers to this place.

Architectural history of Nanhai Temple;
Since the Tang Dynasty, Nanhai Temple has become increasingly prosperous, and successive governments have also sent people to manage temple affairs. In fact, it has become one of the temples with the largest number of pilgrims and the highest status, which is mainly determined by the increasingly developed status of Guangzhou's maritime trade.
The ancient Maritime Silk Road in China began in the Western Han Dynasty and reached its peak in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. Especially in the Tang Dynasty, the trading fleet from Guangzhou passed through South Asian countries, crossed the Indian Ocean, reached West Asia and the Persian Gulf, and reached the east coast of Africa as far as the west. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it went further to Europe and America. The total length of this route is 10000 kilometers, which connects the political, economic and cultural exchanges between the East and the West and expands China's influence in the world.
Nanhai Temple, which is in an important position on this route, had a pier in ancient times, and outside the pier was the vast sea-the South China Sea. The South China Sea is actually the part of the Pacific Ocean near the Southeast Asian continent, and the sea is next to the Pacific Ocean and leads to the Indian Ocean. Sailing boats or ships from far away must pass through this ancient pier located in the South China Sea Temple. So many merchant ships stopped here to worship in temples, praying for safe routes and smooth business. As a result, Fuxi Town near the temple was crowded with business travelers and folk temple fairs in day trading. The prosperity of Nanhai Temple witnessed the prosperity of maritime trade in Guangzhou. It is not surprising that many precious historical relics have been left behind, including inscriptions and inscriptions given by the emperor. Of course, the people are even more grateful to God in the South China Sea who has blessed them with smooth sailing and safety.
Nanhai Temple faces south and covers an area of 30,000 square meters. It is the architectural style of the Ming Dynasty, grand and simple.
There is a stone archway outside the temple, which is "not making waves." From south to north along the central axis, the main building of the temple has five entrances, namely, Toumen, Yimen, Ritual Pavilion, Main Hall and Zhaoling Palace, and one entrance is higher than the other. Other ancillary buildings are centered on Wujin, which is symmetrical left and right. This is a typical traditional temple building in China.
