The Temple of Ranzizhonggong in Heze
The Temple of the Ancient Sage Ranzizhonggong is situated 7 kilometers east of Heze City. It is located in Zhangshidian, a small town with over 300 households. The village, anciently known as Chagupo or Ranxianzhen, is the hometown of the ancient sage Ranzizhonggong, and many of its residents bear the surname Ran. In the northeastern corner of the T-junction at the center of the village lies the Temple of Ranzizhonggong, commonly known as the Ran Family Ancestral Hall. The grand and imposing Guanglian Gate stands tall along the street, featuring an elegant and classic design with a solemn aura that evokes a deep sense of historical reverence. Within the courtyard, there is currently a main hall and a specimen of the Kai tree, both of which are municipal-level cultural relics protection units in Heze City.
