Guzhuang Village Fumin Temple in Hancheng, Shaanxi

The Fumin Temple in Guzhuang Village was established in the first year of Yuan Zhi Zheng (1341). It was repeatedly renovated in the 57th year of Kangxi (1718), the 13th year of Yongzheng (1735), and the 6th year of Jiaqing (1801). The hall is three rooms wide and four beams deep. The four beams are connected to the eaves with two columns. The single eaves are suspended from the mountain top. There are camel humps on the four beams, and there are similar railings and universal cypress beams on the camel humps. This structure is already an atypical Yuan Dynasty method, which should have been changed during later renovations. There are camel humps on the flat beams, and similar railings and universal cypress beams are set up on the camel humps. This place still looks like the Yuan Dynasty method in Hancheng. The outer eaves brackets are made in four layers, and the upper part is directly supported by the beam head. The beam head is grooved and jointly supports the replacement wood with the order beam and scattered buckets. The play head is turned inside and the overlapping head is pressed under the four beams. The inside turn does not see a single copy, it may be the lower half of the overlapping head, this is also a very special method. The single copy of the two brackets in the heart has become an elephant head shape, and the brackets of the two corner columns are still relatively simple. Regardless of the treatment methods of the beam head and the play head, or the elephant head single copy, they are all later methods. There are preserved painted murals in the hall. It is a key cultural relics protection unit in Shaanxi Province.
