The Historical Origin of Tianyi Pavilion in Taiyuan

It has something to do with Li Shimin, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. According to legend, Tianyi Pavilion in Taiyuan was built in the Northern Wei Dynasty. In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Li Shimin got lost while hunting near Taiyuan and met the old man's help. Knowing the identity of the old man, he decided to build a temple in Taiyuan to worship the real people in Tianyi. Therefore, Li Shimin ordered the construction of Tianyi Palace as a royal Taoist temple.
