Sanqing Temple in Shui Sheng Town, Nanzheng County Sanqing Temple in Shui Sheng Town, Nanzheng County is located in Liaoba Village, Hong Guang, Shui Sheng Town, Hanzhong City, Shaanxi Province. Formerly known as "Sanqingguan", the main hall behind the temple gate is the leader of Sanqing (that is, the leader of Taishang Laojun, Yuan Naive and Tian Tong). This temple has a long history. According to the existing literature, it was Meng, the seven-year-old son of Emperor Jiaqing of Qing Dynasty, who rebuilt Sanqing Temple. This is an ancient Buddhist temple. The main hall is a bucket arch building, and there are many clay sculptures in the whole temple. Before liberation, incense was at its peak, and there were an endless stream of good men, women and tourists, enjoying a high reputation. The statue is exquisite and charming, and Taoists also engage in religious activities here. In the main hall, the stage is very high and the statue is mounted. The temple is shaded by trees and the ancient trees are towering. It is also one of the places with the richest folk incense around Liaoba, Hong Guang, Shui Sheng Town, Nanzheng County and Shangyuanguan Town, Chenggu County. On the first or fifteenth day of each year, good men and women come here side by side to draw lots for divination and seek good or bad luck. There are also people who come here to pray for a happy marriage, rich financial resources, long health, early birth, wealth and peace. After liberation, due to the lack of awareness of cultural relics protection during the Cultural Revolution, bodhisattvas were destroyed, ancient trees were cut down, ancient incense burners and clocks were destroyed, and doors, windows and floors were demolished. The idol was destroyed, and so was the whole temple. The temple was changed to Hong Guang Central Primary School in Nanzheng County and Hong Guang Junior High School. After the reform and opening-up, people's minds were liberated, and many kind men and women believed it. As well as the demands of the masses, under the leadership of others, they successively established the Sanqing patriarch (that is, Taishang Laojun, yuanshi county Naive and Tian Tong Patriarch) next to the original temple site. Later, according to the wishes of the masses, temples were restored and statues were shaped. Since then, there has been a clear management system and various forms of regular and irregular religious activities.
