Jing'er Street • Golden Flower Temple

According to Deng Ming, director of the Lanzhou Municipal Local History Office, "The Temple of the Golden Flower Lady on Jing'er Street", after the Golden Flower Fairy Girl became a fairy in Barmi Mountain, in the summer of the nineteenth year of Qing Daoguang (1839), there was a great drought in Lanzhou, and the people petitioned the prefecture to ask the Golden Flower Fairy to pray for rain and greeted the old house on Jing'er Street, Pu Descending Ganlin, which was autumn dafeng.

The lanzhou prefect Tang Shuyi ordered the people to build the Golden Flower Temple in the old house of Xiangu in Jing'er Street. In the 20th year of Daoguang (1840), the Golden Flower Temple was completed. The site is in the north of Xikou Road, Jing'er Street, sitting northeast and facing southwest.

The courtyard covers an area of about 200 square meters, and there are 5 halls with eaves on the top of the mountain, with a height of 3 feet. The gate is the gate tower at the top of the mountain, and the double doors are open, intended to look at The Barmi Mountain from afar. There are 5 boxes on the left and right of the main hall. There are two large locust trees in the courtyard, and the pavilion is like a cover.

There are two stone stele embedded in the two walls of the doorway: one for the "Golden Flower Xiangu Temple Stele" written by YiGongsheng Wan Yongfu during the Light Years of the Qing Dynasty, and the other for Chai Yongze during the Qing Guangxu Period. There are two pairs of hanging trees in the main hall: one is composed for the "inspiration" Xian Gu of the seventh year of Guangxu, which is said to be "God traces the spirit of inheritance, and looks at the two words of the Golden Gate Fengrong; the lower people are blessed, and the jade candle Ruiying three platforms are adjusted in Xinshi." The other pair is "Jade liquid is now auspicious, when it leads to the charming Dengjue Road; golden peanut Ruiqi, but to help the earthly Spring Terrace." ”

In the 1930s and 1940s, the Jinhuamiao Branch of the Second Branch of the Provincial Capital Police Department was stationed in the Residence. From the 1950s to the 1960s, it was the Renmin Road Police Station of the Chengguan Branch of Lanzhou City. From the 1970s to the 1980s, it was a health center on Jiuquan Road. In the 1990s, the house was demolished and built into a building. Since then, the Golden Flower Temple has not existed, except for the two golden flowers sitting on the stone.

In October 1992, upon the application of Dang Sixian, the 28th generation disciple of the Quanzhen Longmen Sect and approved by the Lanzhou Municipal People's Government, another immortal trace of Wuquan Mountain, was designated as an official religious activity site, and more than 10 acres of land were set aside. At that time, in order to inherit the Golden Flower Immortal Edge, the Party Dao Chief immersed himself in moving the Golden Flower Fairy Temple of Jing'er Street to Zhigongguan.

Zhigongguan is located in the red mud ditch under the Gaolan Mountain in the eastern foothills of The Five Springs Mountain in Lanzhou. According to legend, ZhiGong was a master of the Liangwu Empire during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, known as Baozhi, and later became famous for practicing here. The temple architecture of Zhigongguan dynasty is magnificent, but unfortunately it was burned in the last year of the Republic of China.

For more than 10 years, Dang Sixian and his disciples have traveled around and raised funds in many ways, and finally in 1998, the Golden Flower Xiangu Grand Hall was built in Zhigongguan, with a construction area of more than 200 square meters, carved beams and paintings, magnificent and magnificent. Then the Zhigong Ancestral Hall, the Mountain Gate, the Jade Emperor Hall, the Sanqing Hall, the Cloud Ladder and many ancillary supporting facilities were built, and 9 acres of barren mountain land were greened. The magnificent Zhigongguan classical temple complex is improving day by day, with a total construction area of more than 1,800 square meters, an unprecedented scale.
