Dongzhai Feishan Temple

　　Dongzhai Feishan Temple — During the late Tang and Five Dynasties period, the Dong ethnic society transitioned directly from a primitive clan society to a feudal society, bypassing the slave society. During this time, the Kuan organizations, which were based on blood ties and bonded by geographical connections, were formally established and achieved significant development, reaching their peak. During this era, Yang Zaixi, the "Feishan King" of the Dong people, managed Feishan during turbulent times, maintaining unity without claiming kingship or dominance. He implemented regional ethnic autonomy, fostering ethnic solidarity, harmony, and integrated development, which gained recognition from the central government. This gave rise to the highly respected "Feishan Spirit" through the generations, and subsequently, villages across the Dong region built temples to worship him. The scenic area’s Feishan Temple is located in Dongzhai, where daily worship activities are held on the first and fifteenth days of each lunar month, and a grand ceremony dedicated to Feishan King takes place on the 26th day of the tenth lunar month.
