Brief introduction of Zhengzhou Chenghuang Temple
Zhengzhou City God Temple, among the scenic spots in Zhengzhou, has a long history and is the only well-preserved ancient architectural scenic spot in Zhengzhou I found. It is located in the east section of Shangcheng Road in Zhengzhou, not far from Shangcheng Ruins Park.
Zhengzhou City God Temple with a long history
Speaking of a temple, you may be familiar with it, such as Shaolin Temple and Baima Temple, which are all famous in Henan, but speaking of the name of Zhengzhou City God Temple, many people should not be familiar with it. What exactly is the Chenghuang Temple? I grew up in rural Henan, and I have heard of this name, but when I really saw the Chenghuang Temple, I saw the Zhengzhou Chenghuang Temple in Zhengzhou.
In the Town God Temple, there is an introduction about the related Town God Temple. It's probably like this: In ancient times, the Chenghuang Temple was regarded as a place of sacrifice, and the heroes worshipped by people in this city were usually here. People call him the owner of the city god temple, and the gods worshipped by the city god temple in each region are different. People believe that the God of the Town God can keep one side safe. People in ancient times believed in the God of Town God.
The Chenghuang Temple in Zhengzhou has a long history. It was built in the Ming Dynasty. In fact, the development of Zhengzhou is modern. As far back as the Ming Dynasty, Zhengzhou was only a county level. Now, according to time, the history of Zhengzhou Chenghuang Temple has been nearly several hundred years. In these hundreds of years of history, Zhengzhou City God Temple, like many historical buildings, has been destroyed and repaired many times and has always maintained what we have seen.
Now, the buildings of Zhengzhou City God Temple can be seen everywhere, with traces of history. Due to the age, some wood in the building has begun to mold, but it can be seen that it has been repaired many times. Walking in the Town God Temple, I suddenly found a pure land in the noisy modern city of Zhengzhou. The main reason, I think, may be that Zhengzhou Chenghuang Temple has a long history. After all, there are high-rise buildings all around, only here are ancient buildings and lush trees.
Highlights of Chenghuang Temple: Ancient Architecture and Henan Culture
Of all the scenic spots in Zhengzhou, I'm sure the Chenghuang Temple is the only one with the flavor of ancient culture, at least I think so. Although the area of Zhengzhou City God Temple is not very large, there are still many scenic spots worth seeing.
Walking into the quadrangle, you will see the style of traditional temple architecture. Although many scenic spots of ancient buildings were built later, these ancient buildings in Zhengzhou City God Temple gave people a different feeling. That feeling is left by history and cannot be imitated. I have been to see the architecture of the Forbidden City, which is considered as a model of ancient royal architecture. If I have seen the model of ancient residential buildings, Zhengzhou City God Temple is definitely the best I have ever seen. Of course, every tile and statue in these ancient buildings has a certain culture, which is worth further understanding.
Zhengzhou Chenghuang Temple does not occupy a large area of neps. Into the main entrance, there is a main hall, and there is such a pattern behind the main hall. There are some rooms on both sides. Now some people live in some rooms, and the other part is set as a museum to show the culture and history of Henan Henan Opera.
This museum is a feature of Zhengzhou City God Temple. The Henan Opera and some Henan cultures are clearly introduced here. If you want to understand Henan Opera clearly, you must visit this exhibition hall of Zhengzhou Chenghuang Temple. As a native of Henan, I actually felt a lot after seeing this exhibition hall.
There is nothing wrong with such an exhibition hall showing the most attractive culture in Henan. It even reminds me of the scene of singing a big drama in the village when I was a child, but I can't help but feel a little sad, because what I actually see is memory, which is also a gradual disappearance of some cultures in Henan.
Because tickets for Zhengzhou Chenghuang Temple are free, not many people know it. When foreign tourists travel to Zhengzhou, they seldom visit the Chenghuang Temple. Even if there are stories and cultures worth seeing, not many people will go to the Chenghuang Temple to see the Henan Opera Cultural Exhibition. Only some primary school students nearby will come here to play and watch Henan Opera performances in some industries.
In addition, there is an old tree in the courtyard of Zhengzhou City God Temple, which is full of people's good wishes. According to the staff inside, many people come to visit Zhengzhou Chenghuang Temple before and after the Spring Festival every year, so most of these good wishes are hung here during the Spring Festival every year, and some couples come here to leave their good wishes on this tree. In fact, this kind of tree with good wishes is found in many scenic spots, but this one impressed me particularly.
Go through the first hall and you will arrive at the back hall. This place is also very cultural. The stone carvings on both sides are the zodiac signs of China, which are very common in ancient temples. This is also a unique traditional culture in China. As for the real meaning, I'm not sure, but it gives people a mysterious feeling.
It is said that there will be a yard in the future, but when we get to this place, we can't walk. The back was being decorated.
If you watch the whole tour carefully, you can finish it in an hour. Although the scenery of Chenghuang Temple is not very famous, this place is unique at least in Zhengzhou. It's quiet inside, suitable for real relaxation and understanding of Henan culture.
