Yuxu Taoist Temple was originally located in Shuidong Township, Ganzhou (now the site of Shuidong Primary School). Also known as the Ge Xian Ancestral Hall. Historical records state: during the Chiwu era of the late Han Dynasty, Ge Xuan preached the “Four Essentials and Nine Precepts” on Mount Ehu, where he “carved a cave out of the rock and concealed himself at the mountaintop.” During the Tang Dynasty, Taoism flourished. In the Xiantong era (860–874), Emperor Yizong of Tang, in recognition of Ge Xuan’s dedication to spiritual cultivation and his contributions to helping the people, decreed the construction of Zonghua Temple at the western foot of Mount Ehu to enshrine Ge Xuan. Originally built during the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty (713–741), it was classified as a Ten Directions Monastery. The temple faces south with a slight westward orientation, situated at the convergence point of nine mountain ranges. It features a hip-and-gable roof structure. The large worship plaza in front of the temple gate could accommodate a thousand people. The roof ridge is adorned with yellow glazed tiles, featuring three tiers of relief sculptures depicting nine golden dragons playing with a pearl, vividly crafted and facing each other in formation. In the second year of the Zhili era of the Northern Song Dynasty (1065), Emperor Yingzong of Song bestowed a new name, changing it to Yuxu Taoist Temple. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Yuxu Taoist Temple was destroyed in war. Hence, the Ge Xian Ancestral Hall is also referred to as Yuxu Taoist Temple, a reference that originates from this history.
