Xuanquan Temple

　　   Xuanquan Temple, located in Shangsitou Village, 3.5 kilometers northwest of Xiacun Town, was built during the Tang Dynasty according to local county records and has been renovated in successive dynasties. It was destroyed in the 1960s. The temple currently houses a stone pagoda from the first year of the Qiányòu era (948 AD) of the Later Han Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, inscribed with the “Uṣṇīṣa Vijaya Dhāraṇī Sūtra”; a statue stele from the Chongning era of the Northern Song Dynasty; and a stele commemorating the renovation of the Xuanquan Temple Buddha Hall in the fourth year of the Zhìzhèng era of the Yuan Dynasty. These artifacts hold significant historical and cultural value. According to local folklore, there was an ancient “Gufo Temple” on Panlong Mountain to the north of the temple, which once housed ancient stone Buddhist statues, indicating the long-standing Buddhist heritage of the Shangsitou Village area. At its peak, the temple had 108 monks and owned over 300 acres of land. The large rice milling facility known as “Nian Gedà” still visible in front of the temple today testifies to its former grandeur. In 2009, the Shangsitou Village Party Branch and Village Committee invested over 600,000 yuan to renovate Xuanquan Temple and collected, organized, and preserved a large number of historical and cultural relics. The “Wulong Temple” on Panlong Mountain to the north of the village was also restored.
