Cixian Cui Fugong Temple is located on the north side of Fugongmiao Street in Cixian County. According to historical records, the temple was built in the sixth year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty (718 AD) to enshrine Cui Jue, the magistrate of Fuyang County. Records indicate that it was renovated in the third year of the Yuandade era (1299 AD) and the seventeenth year of the Qing Guangxu era (1891 AD). The temple originally covered an area of 80 mu and had over 80 halls and pavilions. The existing structures include the main hall, worship hall, rear hall, and connecting corridors, arranged in a "工"-shaped layout. These buildings date back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. The worship hall houses eight stone steles, most from the Ming Dynasty. The main hall is five bays wide and two bays deep, with a flush-gable roof covered in glazed tiles, supported by a seven-rafter beam system, with a single-step beam extending at the rear. The beams are supported by five-curved, double-rising, special-shaped bracket sets, and the front and rear eaves feature octagonal stone columns. In front of the main hall is the worship hall, which is five bays wide and one bay deep, with a rolled shed-style hard gable roof covered in glazed tiles, supported by a six-rafter beam system. The rear hall is five bays wide and two bays deep, with a hard gable roof covered in glazed tiles, supported by a seven-rafter beam system, with a single-step beam extending at the front. The main hall and rear hall are connected by a corridor. The corridor has a rolled shed roof, spans three bays, and is supported by a six-rafter beam system. In 1995, community fundraising efforts restored the east and west side halls. It is now a key cultural relic protection unit of Hebei Province.
