Where is the Temple for Protecting the Grain and Protecting the King (Seven Old Masters Temple)?

The Liangwang Temple (seven old Temple) is a cultural tourist attraction to protect the country.

Qi Laoye Temple, also known as Liangwang Temple for Protecting the Country, is located in Yanta Bay and was built in the Ming Dynasty. According to legend, a grain delivery officer named Jin passed by Xitang. At that time, there was a serious drought in the suburbs of the town, and there was no harvest. The road was hungry and cold, which was very miserable. Out of compassion, Jin privately distributed food relief supplies, which many victims made a living on. So Jin went to Beijing, the court investigated him, and Jin was martyred. People felt their kindness and built this temple to commemorate it. Gold ranks seventh, so the people call it the seven lords.

Qilaoye temple

In seven old Temple, the front hall is newly built, and the gate is open to the street. The open space on the south side of the street is a river port, and incense burners in rural areas or other places can go directly to the temple by boat. There are six characters on the lintel, "Protect the country and follow the grain king temple", written by the calligrapher Jiang of this town.

The lobby Gao Shuang is now used as a foyer. There is a patio with a candlestick for burning incense. There is a 2.5-meter-high large cast iron incense burner in the center of the courtyard, which reads "Protect the country and follow the grain king". Although the incense burner is rough, it is solemn and donated by kind men and women.

The back hall is basically a new look and the building is very special. There is a veranda in front of the hall, and the rafters are very exquisite and arched. On the threshold of the temple is a row of wooden French windows, which are the decoration of ordinary temples.

Crossing the threshold and looking up, it is still a veranda composed of rows of neat stringers. Actually, these are all part of the main hall. The eaves gallery of this temple is particularly elegant, much like the hall of a government official. The tiles on it are very fine, and each one is planed, smooth and tidy. This architectural style is rare in ordinary temples.
