Youwang Tuzhu Temple

　　Youwang Tuzhu Temple is located on the mountainside of Shaobao Hill, about 1 kilometer west of the Youwang Town Subdistrict Office. It was built to enshrine Mang Chenglong, a "Benren" (a group descended from the Khitan people) from Shidian during the Southern Ming period. The site is embraced by hills on the south, north, and west sides, and is surrounded by lush bamboo and trees in front and behind the temple, creating a picturesque setting.

　　The existing Tuzhu Temple was built in the 34th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty (1908 AD), according to the records on the beams and rafters of the main hall. The temple faces east and is situated westward, consisting of one main hall, two side wings, and one chamber forming a courtyard complex. The overall layout comprises one large and two small courtyards. Outside the front hall is a mountain gate, which turns northward. The entire temple complex covers an area of about 600 square meters. All buildings within the temple are simple single-story structures with traditional gabled roofs. The main structure, the main hall, has three bays in width and four bays in depth, and its roof framework features the popular mixed mortise-and-tenon and raised-beam style since the Ming and Qing dynasties. The roof structure is adorned with various carved elements such as floral brackets, hanging columns, and roof ridge ornaments. The overall architecture retains a refined and harmonious aesthetic.

　　Murals are the most distinctive decorative feature of the temple, primarily painted on the walls and ceilings of the halls, totaling more than 30 pieces. The paintings mostly depict landscapes, flowers and birds, as well as legendary stories, mostly rendered in ink and light colors. The fresh and elegant color palette fully showcases the exceptional artistry of traditional Chinese folk painting.
