Temple of Minzi
The Temple of Minzi is situated in Damin Village, Wutai Township, and was rebuilt in the 60th year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty. In the third year of the Yongzheng reign, an imperial plaque reading “Exemplary Filial Piety of the Clan” was conferred and hung at the center of the temple’s main hall. The main hall of the Temple of Minzi is 14 meters long from east to west, 8 meters wide from north to south, and 12 meters high. It features a double-beam structure with carved beams and painted rafters, supported by six large pillars. The southern wall of the hall consists of 24 camphorwood lattice doors, while the roof is covered with green-glazed tiles, presenting an imposing and elegant ancient palatial architectural style. On both sides of the main hall are side chambers with coiled dragon ridges. During the Cultural Revolution, the main hall was destroyed, and now only three side rooms remain on each of the east and west sides. The Temple of Minzi is a renowned historical site in Yutai County. To strengthen its protection and management, it was designated as a municipal-level key cultural relics protection unit by the Jining Municipal People's Government in March 2013.
