Introduction: Changsheng Temple is situated in Group 4, Zhuyun Village, Qinggang Town, with the road from Shehong to Xichong located 500 meters to the south. Originally built in the Qing Dynasty, the temple faces south and adopts a courtyard-style layout, encompassing an area of 2,000 square meters. After the liberation, it served as the grain storage warehouse of Qinggang Town, transformed into Zhuyunshan Primary School in 1961, and reverted to being a temple in 1990. The current preserved ancient structures include the Main Hall, Dongyue Hall, Nanyue Hall, and Dining Hall, while the remaining buildings are all constructed with imitation antique brick-concrete structures. Among these, the Main Hall features a plain stone base, 0.5 meters high, with a stone stairway of four steps at the front. It is three bays wide (11.4 meters) and 11 meters deep, with a ridge height of 6 meters and eaves height of 3.3 meters. The wooden structure uses a post-and-lintel beam frame, with an 11-beam system resting on six pillars, topped by a single-eave hip-and-gable roof covered with small green tiles. Changsheng Temple plays an important role in the study of architectural structures and styles from the Qing Dynasty in this region.
