❤Reason for recommendation: Cultural heritage inheritance Gaoye Temple, Zhengyi Academy, Drum Tower Ruins Park, Coin Museum In Fuzhou Gaoye Temple, I found the super local Fuzhou Five Plague God belief. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Yuanshi, Zhong Shixiu, Zhao Guangming, Shi Zhongli, and Zhang Yuanbo dreamed of evil spirits poisoning in the well when they were in Fuzhou. In order to prove to the public, they drank the well water and sacrificed themselves and were sealed by the people of Fuzhou. Because Qianlong felt that it was a lewd sacrifice, in order to keep the Gaoye Temple, the people of Fuzhou brought the god doctor Gao Zhenren, who became immortal in Wushan, Fuzhou during the Song Dynasty, into the temple. By the way, I went to the Zhengyi Academy built by Zuo Zongtang, and found the monument of Zheng Chenggong being given the national surname and Zhu Xi's 'Fu' character at the Drum Tower Ruins, and there is a museum about the history of financial and coin development in Shangxia Hang Wushan. ❤Reason for recommendation: Historical and cultural heritage Endless history about Fuzhou Wushan Gaoye Temple Wushan Gaoye Temple was founded in the Tang and Five Dynasties, and was called 'Nanjian Temple' at that time. Historically, Gaoye Temple was a center of the belief in the Five Emperors in Fuzhou, and was the first stream of the famous 'Nine Hermitages and Eleven Streams' in Fuzhou. During the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government banned the belief in the Five Emperors. In order to protect the temple property, the believers gradually worshipped the medical god Gao Zhenren as the main god and renamed it Gaoye Temple, thus preserving the temple. In October 1860, an American youth named Theodore Francis Jones came to Fuzhou. Jones took 48 photos of Fuzhou scenery with his camera, recording his feelings for Fuzhou and leaving us precious images. The most famous photo (Figure 9) was taken around 1870 with the Fuzhou Twin Towers as the background of the South Gate Pocket. The building group of the front firewall and the dovetail ridge in the photo is Gaoye Temple. When I saw this photo for the first time, I was immediately moved by the beauty of Fuzhou's residential buildings! The simple and exquisite caisson of Wushan Gaoye Temple, the old is like the old is really good Under Wushan, the carved beams and painted buildings, the caisson of the main hall is simple and exquisite. Standing on the stage, the red banner is too harmonious, and I remember that the photos of the ancient stage of Fushan Hall in Zhengwei Village last week have not been sorted out, and this procrastination is also drunk when I come back...

Super artistic Fuzhou Five Plague Gods belief was found in Fuzhou Gaoye Temple. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Yuanshi, Zhong Shixiu, Zhao Guangming, Shi Zhongli, and Zhang Yuanbo dreamed of evil spirits poisoning in the well when they were in Fuzhou. In order to prove to the citizens, they drank the well water and died for martyrdom and were sealed as plague gods by the people of Fuzhou. Because Qianlong thought it was a lewd sacrifice, in order to keep the Gaoye Temple, the people of Fuzhou brought the divine doctor Gao Zhenren who became immortal in Wushan, Fuzhou during the Song Dynasty into the temple.
