Xianrentai Temple

　　Located on Xianrentai in Datong Town, Qichun County. The exact date of its initial construction is unknown, but it was renovated during the Kangxi and Qianlong reigns of the Qing Dynasty. Facing south, it has a width of three bays (7 meters) and a depth of three bays (7.4 meters), with a single-eave flush-gable roof. It is built with imitation wood stone structures and covered with thin stone tiles. The front features a four-pillar, three-bay memorial archway, with the central bay serving as an entrance. The lintel above the door is inscribed in intaglio regular script with the words “Blessing All People.” Inside the temple, there is a shrine enshrining a stone statue of the True Martial Ancestor Deity. The temple’s architectural style is unique, with exquisite stone carvings, making it an important physical resource for studying religious architecture in southeastern Hubei. (Fifth Batch)
