Yue Fei Temple

Yue Fei Temple, originally named Jingzhong Temple, is located at No. 84, Yue Temple Street, Tangyin County, Anyang City, Henan Province. It was built by the people to commemorate the national hero Yue Fei. Yue Fei, courtesy name Pengju, was a native of Tangyin and a famous general of the Song Dynasty. He was born in the second year of Chongning in the Northern Song Dynasty (1103) and was wrongfully executed in the 11th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1142). In the first year of Longxing (1163), he was exonerated. He was posthumously awarded the titles of King Wumu, King of E, and King Zhongwu. The temple was built in the first year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty (1450) and has been repaired several times. It now has more than 90 rooms, including Jingzhong Archway, Imperial Stele Pavilion, Main Hall, East and West Wing Rooms, and Sleeping Hall, and nearly 200 steles from different dynasties. It is valuable for the study of architecture and calligraphy, and especially for patriotic education. In 1958, the Yue Fei Memorial Hall was established, and in 1963, the original Provincial People's Committee announced it as the first batch of cultural relics protection units in Henan Province. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people's government allocated funds for renovation several times.
