Temple of the Emperors of All Dynasties
The Temple of the Emperors of All Dynasties in Beijing was first built in the ninth year of the Jiajing reign of the Ming Dynasty (1530). It was a royal temple for the Ming and Qing dynasties to worship the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, emperors of all dynasties, and civil and military officials. In 1996, the State Council announced it as a national key cultural relic protection unit. The Temple of the Emperors of All Dynasties has always taken the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors as the center of worship, reflecting the lofty ancestral status of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors; the number of figures enshrined in the temple has continued to increase. By the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the tablets of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and 188 founding emperors and successive emperors were enshrined in the Jingde Chongsheng Hall, and the tablets of 79 civil and military officials of all dynasties were enshrined in the east and west side halls. The Temple of Guandi was built in the Qing Dynasty to worship Guan Yu alone. The Temple of the Emperors of All Dynasties covers an area of 21,500 square meters and a construction area of 6,000 square meters. The overall layout is magnificent, showing the dignity and style of the royal temple, and is a fine piece of Chinese ancient architecture.
