What? I heard this place... No way...

📖“There is Confucius in the north and Wenchang in the south”, those who passed the imperial examinations in ancient times were often called “Wenquxing descended to earth”. The ancestral temple of Emperor Wenchang, Qiqushan Temple, which I will introduce today, is the supreme god in the vertical subdivision of the entrance examination. Location: Qiqushan Temple (located in Zitong County, Mianyang, Sichuan) 🚍Transportation: There is currently no high-speed rail that goes directly to Zitong Chengdu to Mianyang high-speed rail about 40 minutes It takes about one hour and fifteen minutes to drive from Mianyang to Zitong The bus Mianzi special line takes about 57 minutes 🎫Tickets: Tickets including sightseeing bus 51 yuan 👍Recommendation reason ✅A place to pray for exams and further studies + an ancient architecture museum + a national forest park ✅The only ancestral temple of the god of local culture in China. Wenchang Emperor is the god in charge of the fame and position of scholars. People who are going to take entrance examinations come here to pray and worship, and you can also see the banners of fulfilling your wishes. ✅The temple itself is a magnificent ancient building complex with extremely high historical value. There are 23 existing ancient buildings from the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, which were praised by Liang Sicheng as the "Ancient Architecture Museum" and are also a national key cultural relic protection unit. ✅The Fengdong Tower is dedicated to Zhang Xianzhong, the leader of the peasant army in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. It is also the only place in the country that enshrines Zhang Xianzhong ✅The temple is full of verdant ancient cypress trees, including the largest pure ancient cypress tree in the country, with more than 20,000 ancient cypress trees, the oldest of which is 2,100 years old. It was approved as a national forest park by the Ministry of Forestry in 1994.
