Miyazhen Temple

　　Miyazhen Temple is located in Wangjiaying Village, Shengshui Town, Nanzheng County. Originally named Zhiping An, it was renamed Miyazhen Temple in September 1994. According to the "Nanzheng County Annals": "Zhiping An was first built in the early Ming Dynasty and was renovated twice—in the 19th year of the Guangxu reign (1893) and the 32nd year (1906). It was renovated again in the 3rd year of the Xuantong reign (1911)." The temple structures feature a hanging mountain-style brick-and-stone design with upturned eaves, embodying architectural styles from both the Ming and Qing dynasties. The entire complex is decorated with stone bases, stone pillars, stone beams, stone corridors, stone flagpoles, stone couplets, and stone carvings, making it one of the larger temple architectural complexes in southern Shaanxi with distinct local characteristics and high architectural art value. In August 2000, the temple was designated as a municipal-level key cultural relics protection unit by the Hanzhong Municipal Government (Hanzheng Fa [2000] No. 32).

　　The temple faces south and originally had three courtyards extending deep into the site, with 56 rooms and halls.

　　Halls

　　Towers

　　Pavilions were arranged in a strict and orderly fashion, covering an area of 7,435 square meters, including a built-up area of 900 square meters. In 1985, the rear main hall was demolished due to the expansion of Yeping An Primary School. The remaining halls are arranged in a "U" shape, with three stone inscribed couplets preserved on the stone pillars of the hall doors. One of them reads: "The divine light shines universally, like the sun and moon traversing the sky; the flourishing art spreads widely, like the nourishing rivers and seas over the land." In front of the north gate of the temple, there is a brick screen wall and a pair of stone flagpoles with four square stone dous on top, carved with Buddhist story patterns, floral designs, and dragon motifs. In the south courtyard, there is an osmanthus tree from the Qing Dynasty. The Buddhist site is now open to the public and holds significant potential for preservation and development.
