The origin of Wudao Temple and which five deities it enshrines. Where is it typically built in a village?
Wudao Temple
Wudao Temple is located at the intersection between Tieshu Xiejie and Yingtao Xiejie, west of Hanjiatan in Xuanwu District.
The temple includes the Hall of the Jade Emperor, which houses a stele erected and inscribed by Wang Xiangqian, Minister of War during the Ming Dynasty's Wanli era, stating that this site is the convergence of the Zhengyang and Xuanwu dragon veins, a vital energy thoroughfare. Therefore, a temporary palace of the Jade Emperor was built beside the temple to host various deities for its protection. This Hall of the Jade Emperor no longer exists. Another account suggests that the temple was built by eunuchs for Wei Zhongxian to pray for peace and safety.
