太清宫

Tai Qing Gong

乡人呼老君殿,位于山天柱峰,乃鹤之顶也。为汉时鹤鸣化遗址,唐时创建为鹤鸣观。宋元诸朝迭有兴修,最后存者系“太清宫在天柱峰,又名鹤鸣观,明代重建。”
今于旧址建老君殿,水泥仿汉代建筑。祀太上老君道德天尊。像高二米八,铜铸鎏金,鹤发童颜,神态安详。

It was named by local inhabitants as “Lao Jun Dian” (老君殿) – a temple for worshipping “Tai Shang Lao Jun” (太上老君). Located at the mountain peak, the temple took a shape like the crown of a crane. The original construction was started in the Han Dynasty, and was finally completed and officiated in the Tang Dynasty as “He Ming Taoist Temple”. During the Song Dynasty, some extensions and repairs were made. In the Ming Dynasty, the temple was reconstructed, but the last remains of the original temple were “Tai Qing Gong” on Tian Zhu Peak.
Today, a new “Lao Jun Dian” has been rebuilt on the original site, a cement structure that imitates the architectural style of the Han Dynasty. A bronze sculpture with gold gilt, with a height of 2.8 meters, has been erected on the premises.
