The Main Hall of Xingguo Temple in Guang'an

The Main Hall of Xingguo Temple in Guang'an is a Sichuan Provincial Cultural Relics Protection Unit.

Located in the southern part of Guang'an city, Xingguo Temple is a wooden-structured temple building. Originally constructed during the Sui Dynasty and rebuilt in the Ming Dynasty, it is the only Buddhist site in the city. It attracts numerous visitors and worshippers, maintaining a strong incense culture. In November 1980, it was designated as a county-level cultural relics protection unit.

The hall faces the Qu River and covers a construction area of 320.52 square meters. The roof is a single-eave hip-and-gable design, featuring a green-glazed central ridge, covered with tubular tiles with dragon-patterned eaves tiles and phoenix-patterned water spouts. In the front eaves and the first bay on the gable side, the brackets are constructed in a three-tiered, six-purlin style with a central bracket cluster. The supplementary bracket sets include two in the central bay and side bays, one each in the two outer bays, totaling 42 brackets. On the central beam inside the main bay, there are blurred ink inscriptions, while on the inner beam of the column, there are legible ink inscriptions that read: "Li Ming, Military Commander of Guang'an Garrison, Rank of Wude General, and Wu Yuan, Deputy Commander, Rank of Wulue General."

Protected Area: Bounded by the existing wall on the northeast, southwest, and southeast sides, extending 20 meters beyond the foundation of the main hall to the northwest.
