Yongle Palace in Ruicheng, Shanxi Province is a Taoist temple, formerly known as Da Chunyang Wanshou Palace. The palace site was originally located in Yongle Town, 2 kilometers west of Ruicheng. According to relevant ancient books and inscriptions in the palace, it is the birthplace of Lv Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals of Taoism. After Lu's death, villagers changed his former residence to Lv Gong Temple. At the end of the Jin Dynasty, the story of Lv Dongbin spread further and further, and the number of worshippers gradually increased, and the ancestral temple was expanded into a Taoist temple, which was later destroyed by fire in the third year of Emperor Taizong of Mongolia (1231). The present Yongle Palace was built in Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Qiu Chuji, the leader of Quanzhen Sect, was very popular with the imperial court, and this Sect took Lv Dongbin as its founder, so the emperor ordered the view to be upgraded to a palace. He also sent Pan Dechong, a Taoist priest from the north and south of Hedong, to preside over the construction of this palace. In fifteen years, the main building was completed in the third year of Zhongtong (1262), and the mural painting was completed in the eighteenth year of Zhengzheng (1358). The construction period lasted for more than 11 years, almost with the Yuan Dynasty. Although the Ming and Qing dynasties were slightly repaired, they basically preserved the original appearance of the Yuan Dynasty. After liberation, because the former site of Yongle Palace was in the flooded area of Sanmenxia Water Conservancy Project, it took seven years from 1959 to move all the buildings and murals to the new site for restoration and preservation.

There are five main buildings in Yongle Palace, all of which are Yuan buildings except the palace gate built in Qing Dynasty. There are four halls, namely Dragon and Tiger Hall, Sanqing Hall, Chunyang Hall and Chongyang Hall. Each hall has exquisite murals, with a total area of 96 square meters. It is a masterpiece in the history of Chinese painting with rich themes and superb brushwork. The main hall of Yongle Palace is Sanqing Hall, also known as Wuji Hall, which was originally dedicated to the gods of Sanqing. Sanqing is a Taoist term. Taoism believes that there are three highest fairyland in the sky, called Yvonne Wang, Shangqing and Taiqing. Among them, there are three highest gods, namely, Jade Qing Yuan Shi Tian Zun, Qing Qing Lingbao Tian Zun and Tai Qing Tai Shang Lao Jun.. In Taoism, there is another theory of Qi-Qi-Sanqing, in which Sanqing refers to the incarnation of the Buddha at the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty. Sanqing Hall is magnificent, with a tall pedestal, Ge fans on the front eaves and no windows on the four walls. The hall uses column reduction method, and the space is wide. Murals are covered with four walls and shrines inside and outside. The picture is 4.26 meters high and 94.68 meters long, with a total area of 43.3 square meters, like a huge ribbon, surrounding the whole hall. The authors were Ma Junxiang and his son in Luoyang, painted in the second year of Yuan Taiding (1325). The whole hall is just a painting, named "The Picture of the Immortal Staff in the Yuan Dynasty", that is, the image of the gods worshipping the Taoist ancestor Yuan Shi Tian Zun. There are eight main gods in the center, dressed as Empress Dowager, surrounded by more than 29 duty gods, including Emperor Jun, Xianbo, Real Man, Tian Ding, Lux, Stars, Golden Boy and Jade Girl. Arranged in four layers, forming a long line. The main statue is a little bigger, more than three meters, and the worshippers are more than two meters. The characters look different, some look at each other, some talk to each other, some meditate, and some listen. So many and huge statues are organized in a unified composition, which is neat but not rigid, complicated and not messy. The picture emphasizes care and pays due attention to changes, so that people with consistent dynamics, consistent tendencies and roughly similar costumes can get mutual response through small turns and looks. The lines in the painting are rigorous, concise and smooth, and some lines are several meters long. The facial expression of the idol can be expressed by various lines, especially the eyebrows and eyes, the changes of the frowning muscles, and the relationship between the eyes and other parts are handled accurately and skillfully, so that the same serious face shows different personalities. In addition, the color of the picture is simple and clear, and the color is mainly stone, bluestone and green, and the background of the props is decorative. In the clothing and treasure cover, a lot of powder is used to make the color tone bright and heavy, and the picture is more distinct. The picture of the immortal staff in the Yuan Dynasty is magnificent in spirit and vivid in characters, which fully embodies the high level of traditional Chinese drawing techniques.

Chunyang Hall, also known as Huncheng Hall and Lvzu Hall, is named after Chunyangzi, the Lv Dongbin Road. This hall, like Sanqing Hall, has an extremely ingenious ceiling caisson and is very spacious. The walls and fan-shaped walls are covered with murals. In the form of comic books, there are 52 life stories of Lv Dongbin from birth to immortality, with strong folk color. The total name of the mural is "The Manifestation Map of the Xianyou Tour of Emperor Chunyang". The composition is rigorous, coherent and natural. Each story is separated by natural scenery such as mountains and rivers, clouds, trees and stones. The painting shows the style of social life in Yuan Dynasty, including pavilions, wineries, teahouses and garden villas. The figures are big officials, businessmen, civilians, farmers, beggars, bachelors and so on. Also draw various costumes, utensils and facilities. On the back of the fan-shaped wall, there is a picture of Zhong Liquan transforming Lv Dongbin. The picture is open and beautiful, with mountains and water. Mentoring and mentoring are sitting sideways, while Zhong Liquan is talking in Kan Kan, while Lv Dongbin bows his head and meditates, and the form of mentoring lives in the wall. The mural of this temple was written by Zhang Daoli, an ancient master of Zhu Hao, and others, and was completed in the eighteenth year of Yuan Dynasty (1358).

Chongyang Hall is also known as Qizhen Hall. Wang Zhongyang, the leader of Quanzhen Sect of Taoism, and seven real people are served in the hall. The seven real people, also known as the North Seven True People, respectively created seven Taoist schools of Quanzhen, such as the Danyangzi of Ma Yu, and created the Fairy School; The Tan Chuduan was long and true, creating Namo pie; Liu Chuxuan lived forever, creating a mountain faction; Qiu Chu's machine number is Changchun Zi, and he created the Dragon Sect; Wang Chuyi Yuyang, Chuanggang Mountain School; The Hao Datong is too ancient to create the Huashan School; Sun Buer creates a clean school. The murals in this temple are mainly about Wang Zhongyang's myths and legends, and they are also painted in the form of comic books. From his birth to the realization of the Seven Realities, there are 49 paintings, each with a title. On the back of the fan wall is the image of the gods worshipping Sanqing. On the statue, the gods hold the constitution to congratulate, and the maids are separated on both sides, with rich faces and fluttering clothes, which is of high artistic value.

The Dragon and Tiger Hall, also known as the Infinite Gate, was the gate of the former Yongle Palace. There are also frescoes in the temple, depicting the tea-tea stagnation (reading like stretching and relaxing the law). These are the two door gods. The ancient book says: There are mountains in the sea, peach trees on them, and there is a ghost gate in the northeast of the short branches, which is the place where all ghosts go in and out. The gods Shencha and Yulei are the gatekeepers, and the supervisor looks up all the ghosts. When they meet evil spirits and bad spirits, they tie them up with reed ropes and feed them to tigers. Therefore, at the end of each year, we often draw a sacred tea and hang a reed rope on the door to drive away ghosts. The Dragon and Tiger Hall is also painted with gods, officials, city gods, land and so on. The legend of the Town God is derived from the water (that is, the God) and the Yong (that is, the city) in Ba Shen, ancient La Worship. It was first recorded in the Wuhu Town God and was built in the Wu Dynasty of the Three Kingdoms. After the Tang and Song Dynasties, the city god was worshipped all over the country, and it was the god who guarded the city in the Taoist ghost system. These statues are imposing, glaring and full of spirit.
