Where is Jieyang Lei Temple located?

Jieyang Lei Temple is located to the right of Jieyang City God Temple. It was founded in the second year of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty (1663), rebuilt in the forty-fourth year of Qianlong (1779), and rebuilt again at the turn of the 2th and 21st centuries (1997-23). The earliest and most detailed record of Jieyang Lei Temple is the "Jieyang County Records" compiled by Liu Yeqin. The second volume is Temple. There is a cloud in the Temple of Thunder: It is in Jieyuan Square (that is, the area around today's Chenghuang Street-Peng Zhu). At the beginning of Kangxi, Hu Hezhen, a magistrate of a county, was founded, and four incense lamps were laid in front of the temple, and 3 stones were rented for the abbot's lamp oil eclipse in Duxitou Township, Lantian. After the temple, a dragon was built to start the academy, offering sacrifices to the Buddha and offering sacrifices to Hu Hezhen, a magistrate of a county. In the forty-fourth year of Qianlong, Liu Yeqin, the magistrate of a county, was rebuilt, and the director was Liu Rong.

before the Qing dynasty, there was no thunder temple in Jieyang. Therefore, it was founded because of the rebellion of Suri, the general commander of Jieshi, at the beginning of Kangxi in Qing Dynasty, and the coastal areas were shaken. The court appointed provincial soldiers to station in Taoshan (now a fort town in Jiedong County) to prevent them from disturbing along Rongjiang River. At that time, Hu Hezhen, a native of Huiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang), who was the magistrate of Jieyang, was responsible for transporting military goods and staying at Taoshan Post Office overnight. I didn't expect the official seal I carried with me to be stolen by thieves. When he was at a loss, an entourage told him that the Raytheon in Caitang was very clever and responsive, so he could go to worship and pray for the help of the gods to find the official seal. Hu Hezhen followed suit.

Soon, the government caught a habitual thief nearby, and his official seal was stolen during the trial. The recovery of the official seal freed Hu Hezhen from the punishment of the law, and at the same time, he was promoted to the imperial edict of the Ministry of Water Affairs. Naturally, he regarded all these kindness as a gift from Thor. Soon, he heard in Beijing that the Caitanglei Temple in - was in disrepair because of the sea ban. He felt that God had sheltered himself, and now God has no place to live. He can't turn a blind eye and turn a deaf ear. Therefore, we donated money to invite people to set up the Lei Temple at the abandoned site of Changping warehouse on the west side of Chenghuang Temple to thank God for his kindness. Soon, the people in Jieyang donated money to build a Long Qi Academy (once a Buddhist temple) behind the Thunder Temple, to worship both Buddha and Hu Hezhen, the magistrate of Jieyang, who built a temple in Fuyin. Regarding the establishment of the Leishen Temple, Hu Hezong's "Leishen Temple Inscription" contained in Volume 8 of Jieyang County Records by Qianlong is described in detail.

However, after more than 1 years of wind and rain, by the middle of Qing Qianlong, the temple was in a state of ruin, and Jieyang people asked Liu Yeqin, the then magistrate of a county, to preside over the reconstruction in order to restore its majestic and solemn image. Liu Yeqin complied with public opinion, and broke ground to "donate money, be honest, and celebrate auspicious days". However, local people, "each presenting his own materials, kunwu's peers, and each mastering his own skills", reappeared in front of people in just two months.

Later, due to frequent wars and people's hardships, the Temple of Thunder gradually fell into disrepair, and was converted into a resident in the late Republic of China (194s). After the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was transformed beyond recognition. By the end of 199s, the economic revival made people deeply feel the necessity and feasibility of restoring historical sites. With the consent of the municipal and provincial cultural administrative departments, extensive fund-raising, selection of competent workers and excellent materials, and careful construction, the new temple was finally rebuilt after five years of cold and heat, and its construction technology was enough to become a classic of Chaoshan antique architecture.

Thor is a natural god. In ancient times, ancestors worshipped thunder more than any other astronomical phenomena. Because they regard thunder as the god who starts the Su Sheng of all things and controls the growth of all things. "When thunder comes out, everything comes out" is the hope of mankind. They believe that people can reproduce their children, be rich and prosperous, and live a long and happy life, all thanks to the gift of Lei. People's belief and worship of thunder has gone through a long time. As the object of worship, Lei gradually changed into a god, a folk god.
