Temple of Lord Ji

Temple of Lord Ji

The Temple of Lord Ji is a cultural tourism attraction.

Introduction: The Temple of Lord Ji is located in Jigongmiao Village, about 26 kilometers northwest of Zhengzhou City. Ji Xin was a general under Liu Bang. When Liu Bang was besieged by Xiang Yu, Ji Xin disguised himself as Liu Bang to deceive the Chu army, allowing Liu Bang to escape. In a fit of rage, Xiang Yu had Ji Xin burned alive. Later generations built a tomb and temple in honor of Ji Xin. Although the temple no longer exists, the structures rebuilt after the Tang Dynasty and over 30 stone tablets praising Ji Xin remain. Among them, the stele inscribed by the calligrapher Lu Zang is the most precious. The stele’s top features the seal script “Han Zhonglie Jigong Stele” (Stele of the Loyal and Heroic Lord Ji of Han), while the body is written in clerical script with elegant characters, attracting countless calligraphy enthusiasts to copy and rub the inscriptions. Transportation: Take bus 322 and get off at Guxing Town.
