Ranzi Zhonggong Temple is located in Gaowangduan village 10km north of guanxian. Zhonggong Temple is a large-scale ancient architectural complex with unique architectural style in the northwest plain of Shandong Province. Although it is not as large as the Confucius Temple in Qufu and famous at home and abroad, it has a long history and has experienced vicissitudes as the Confucius Temple. In the long history, it has attracted the worship of local officials and countless people. According to Guanxian Annals in Ming and Qing Dynasties, the Palace was built to commemorate ran yong in Song and Yuan Dynasties. It was rebuilt many times in Shunde and Zhengde years and in the 31st year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1692), and the whole building occupied an area of 10 mu. It consists of Ranzi Temple, Ranzi Tomb and East Cross Courtyard. The ancestral hall and Ranzi tomb are arranged on the north-south axis, with the ancestral hall in the south and the cemetery in the north. The red walls on the east and west sides enclose the ancestral hall and the cemetery as a whole. Outside the western wall, there is a rectangular pond with an area of 10 mu in the north and south, separated from Xitang by a long embankment. The south gate of the ancestral temple is a bright red painted door, facing the gate is a screen wall three feet long and more than three feet high. At both ends of the screen wall, two ancient trees (local names) with folded thickness grow symmetrically, which have been planted for many years. The shadow walls on both sides of the Shinto Temple are inward, and there are stone tablets in the past dynasties. Inscriptions and lettering have their own styles because of different dynasties. Line, grass, block letters and seals are all available, and the font is vigorous and natural, which is of great artistic value. Facing the screen wall, it is a Ranzi ancestral hall facing south, with three ancestral halls, two wings cornices and grey tiles and red walls, which is elegant and spectacular. The hall is spacious, with a statue of Ranzi in the middle. This statue is beautifully painted and lifelike. From a distance, it looks like a stranger and a rebirth. Idol reproduces the philosopher's mental modality when Ranzi gave lectures before his death, and shows Ranzi's gentle and sincere character, which makes people respect and ask for advice. This statue is said to be very similar to the statue of Ranzi in Dacheng Hall of Confucius Temple. It seems that the masters who have been repairing Ranzi Temple have also referred to the statue of Ranzi in Qufu Confucius Temple. There are more than ten ancient cypresses in the courtyard, with lush foliage, which hides the ancestral hall in the dark green shade, adding to the solemn atmosphere of the ancestral hall. From the ancestral temple to the north, there is a wall behind the east and west, which is the Ranziling, which is more than ten feet high. Because of its age, it was covered with weeds and sprouted from generation to generation to accompany the Confucian elder. Every new year's day, local officials and squires will come here to pay homage, which is extremely solemn and sincere. At the time of mourning, it is still necessary to add some shovel to the mausoleum to show respect and respect for the sages. There are twenty or thirty cypresses in the cemetery, which are tall and green. Although they are old, they are also full of vitality. Although the grass in the yard is knee-deep, it doesn't make people feel desolate. On the contrary, in the shade of trees, insects and birds sing, adding a sense of elegance. Come out from the ancestral hall compound, pass through the side door of the red paint nail on the east wall, and then enter the east lateral court, juxtaposed with the ancestral hall compound. The east lateral courtyard has a vast area, and there are six houses in the north, with high polio tiles. It is also exquisite and elegant architecture and antiques. There are three east annex rooms to the south of the main building. In the south of the East Annex Building, there is a bright door facing east. There are several stone tablets outside the gate. The Eastern Cross Academy is a resting place where officials from past dynasties came to pay homage and be crowned. The pond in the west and in front of the temple has accumulated water for many years, with a water depth of more than ten feet, and it is still crystal clear; Brocade scales swim, and domestic swallows fly obliquely; Blue waves and sea urchins play in the water; Liu Yin Village Girl, Huansha Laundry; Although Ling Tao's Peach Blossom Garden can't compare with this idyllic joy. Standing in the west of Tangxi overlooking the Ran Temple, there is even a show of meeting in the fairy pavilion. Here and now, we feel the ancient civilization of our country. Ranzi Ancestral Temple and Ranzi Cemetery are connected into a whole, majestic and majestic. After years of baptism and repeated disasters and changes, this ancient building survived, which is a blessing. Its elegant modeling and exquisite structure fully demonstrate the intelligence and superb architectural skills of the ancient working people in China. Why Ranzi Temple was built in guanxian has been recorded in the county annals of past dynasties. According to Guanxian Annals in Ming and Qing Dynasties, Ranzi Temple is located in Wangduan Village in the northwest of the city, where Xu Jie was taught in Ming Dynasty and sacrificed in the Spring and Autumn Period. In the thirty-first year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt as usual. Xu Lin, the magistrate of a county in the Qing Dynasty, wrote in Rebuilding the Ancestral Hall of Ranzizhong Cemetery in Gong Xue: "Mao Yi was born in Shandong and secretly enjoyed the residence of saints. When I visit Confucius and Mencius, I will pass the mausoleum of the sages of Qilu. Jia Zi, aged 20, moved to guanxian, Kautz Tombs and Xue Ran Cemetery. According to the Records of Guanxian County in Qing Dynasty, it was written by two officials, Gao Heguang, in Wangduan Village, 20 miles north of the county seat. Since the Song and Yuan Dynasties, there has been a shrine beside the tomb, which has been abandoned for a long time. In the Ming Dynasty, Guan Yu Xu Si donated land cheaply and set up a statue as a shrine. When Taichang and his wife were shy, he recorded it and attached it to the County Records Cloud: "My husband said there was a tomb of Ranzi." Guo Pu's famous geographical work "Water Mirror" in the Jin Dynasty also has a similar record: "Zhong Cemetery is lonely at home. There is no need to misinterpret the burial method of the ancients at any time. " Therefore, we can know that Ranzi Zhonggong once obeyed the orders of his teacher Confucius and came to guanxian to preach. He died in the line of duty and was buried in Wangduan Village in the north of the city, which accords with the historical reality.
