Sanjun Temple

Located on the north side of Bai Song Peak, Ziyun Mountain, Ju Village, Setou Town, the Ju Village Huguo Lingkang Temple is a municipal-level key cultural relic protection unit. According to folklore, Houyi used ten five-color (black, white, yellow, green, red) arrows tied with red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple ribbons to shoot the sun. He used nine arrows to shoot down nine suns, and the last arrow with a purple ribbon was inserted into the front slope of this mountain. Later, the arrow turned into a white pine, and the purple ribbon turned into the purple cloud in the mountain. Since then, this mountain has been respectfully called Ziyun Mountain. Later generations built a temple here to worship him in memory of Houyi's merits in shooting the sun to save the people. The Huguo Lingkang Temple faces south and has two courtyards. According to the Song Dynasty stele "Ziyun Mountain New Lingguan Temple", the temple was built in the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty (1122). The existing main hall and rear hall are relics of the Ming Dynasty, and the rest of the buildings are relics of the Qing Dynasty. There is a stele in the temple that was built in the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, and seven steles were rebuilt after the Song Dynasty. Due to years of disrepair and theft, the Huguo Lingkang Temple is severely damaged. The cultural relics department allocated funds for repairs in 2012, and at the same time, professional religious sculptors reshaped the statues in the temple based on the records of the Qing Dynasty Shunzhi nine-year reconstruction stele. The entire group of buildings is arranged from south to north with the mountain gate, moon platform, main hall, and palace as the longitudinal axis, and the east and west side buildings, corridor rooms, and corner halls are arranged on both sides, with two courtyards in the front and back, forming an inwardly enclosed space. According to the stele "Ziyun Mountain New Lingguan Temple" in the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Song Dynasty (1122), in ancient times, the Huguo Lingkang Temple was not only an important place for villagers to pray for "annual grains, timely rain, drought relief, and plague relief", but also a place for many influential folk gods.
