　　Shizhang Jade Emperor Temple (Sixth Batch National Heritage)

　　Era: Jin to Qing Dynasties

　　Address: Shizhang Village, Lucheng Town, Lingchuan County

　　The establishment date is unknown. The existing structures date from the Jin, Ming, and Qing dynasties. It is a single-courtyard complex, divided into three terraced levels following the terrain. Key buildings include the mountain gate, the main hall, along with side halls on the east and west, wing rooms, and auxiliary rooms. The main hall is a remnant of the Jin Dynasty, while the rest were built during the Ming and Qing periods.

　　The main hall is built on a 1.2-meter-high stone platform. It features a width of three bays, a depth of six rafters, and a single-eave hip-and-gable roof. The bracket sets feature the distinctive dougong structure of the era. The wooden structure follows the typical style of grand halls from earlier dynasties. The hall’s roof beams are supported by bracket arms, and the front eaves protrude prominently. The Shizhang Jade Emperor Temple is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit.
