Yudu Ziyang Temple

　　   Ziyang Temple was originally situated outside the east gate of Yudu County. It was first constructed during the Sui Dynasty and named Qinghua Taoist Temple, later renamed Ziyang Temple in the Tang Dynasty. The renowned Taoist master Zhao Yuanyang of the Ming Dynasty once practiced Dao here. Liu Yuanran, the founding patriarch of the Changchun Sect, was a disciple of Zhao Yuanyang and also resided at Ziyang Temple to cultivate. The temple was destroyed during the Cultural Revolution, and its original site was later occupied by residential buildings.

　　   In November 2006, it was relocated and rebuilt elsewhere through the dedication and fundraising efforts of Lin Luomiao, a Zhengyi Tian Shi Dao master. The new site is located in the northeastern suburbs of Yudu County. In 2010, it was officially approved as a religious activity venue by the Ethnic and Religious Affairs Bureau of Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. The temple currently enshrines the Jade Emperor of the Golden Palace, the Queen Mother of the West, and Xianying Gong Lai Gong, among others.
