Jade Emperor Hall of Jinyun Temple

　　    A site listed in the sixth batch of Major National Historical and Cultural Sites. The Jade Emperor Hall of Jinyun Temple is situated on the campus of Jinyun Middle School in Dongguandi Village, Hengshui Town, southwest of Jiang County. Jinyun Temple was originally built during the Tang Dynasty and was once a grand complex, but today only the main hall, the Jade Emperor Hall, remains—the other structures have all been lost to time. The Jade Emperor Hall is a wooden structure from the Yuan Dynasty, built on a low, flat platform. It features a five-bay flush-gable roof, with front eaves supported by bracket sets of the fifth grade and rear eaves by those of the fourth grade. The ridge beam bears an inscription from the 20th year of the Kangxi era (1665), documenting renovation work. The column bases are plain, round pedestals, possibly dating back earlier than the Yuan Dynasty. The architectural appearance is simple and dignified, inheriting the elegant style of Song Dynasty architecture. Inside the Jade Emperor Hall, there is also a well-preserved Tang Dynasty stele, which holds significant cultural and historical value.
