Dajia Zhenlan Temple

　　The architecture of Zhenlan Temple includes a front hall, rear hall, north and south halls, north and south chambers, bell and drum towers, all adorned with exquisitely carved stone and wood sculptures of figures, flowers, birds, and animals, finely crafted and richly colored. The main hall enshrines Mazu, while the south hall houses the Chaste Mazu.

　　The dragon pillars in front of the temple feature intricately carved and solid stone openwork, the roof is covered with colorful cut-and-pasted figures, flowers, birds, and animals, and the large carved decorations under the eaves are gilded. The area around the main hall’s shrine is even more magnificent, with layers of ornamentation, resplendent in gold and glittering brilliance, exuding an awe-inspiring yet elegant grandeur.

　　Unfortunately, due to multiple renovations, many historical relics and artifacts have been lost. Only a few plaques inscribed by Emperors Qianlong and Guangxu hold significant historical value, such as the Qing-era plaques “Protector of the Nation and People,” “Blessing and Salvation,” from the Qianlong period, the Guangxu Emperor’s “Equal in Merit to Heaven,” as well as “Sincere Prayers Answered,” “Compassionate Light Shines Far,” and “Equal in Merit and Deeds,” all of which are Qing-dynasty relics preserved to this day.
