The past dynasties were also called Confucius Temple, Taishang Temple, Xianshi Temple, Xiandian Temple and Wenxuan King Temple, especially the name of "Confucius Temple".

The exit of the South Gate Tower is in Yunlu Fengqing Street. You can cross this street to go to the Confucian Temple and Gong Xue. Legend has it that this street was once the number one road in the imperial examination. Every candidate who takes the exam must come to the Confucian Temple to worship Confucius before taking the exam. He must cross this cloud road from Wenchang Pavilion and Kuixing Building in the southeast corner of the city wall, cross the zhaobi where a hole is left opposite the Confucian Temple, enter the Confucian Temple, cross Chi Pan, change clothes and bathe, and pay homage to the hole.

Pingyao Chenghuang Temple? Pingyao City God Temple, with a long history and rich cultural connotation, is located in the south street of the central axis of the ancient city, which is relatively a county government. The worship of the Town God and the Town God Temple originated from the "water spirit" in the ancient farming custom god "Bala God", and was listed as the god who guarded the city wall and the city in the early days. In the feudal wars of past dynasties, the worship of him increased day by day, and the function of the city god changed from protecting the "city" to protecting the local people, arguing about the good and evil of everyone's life in order to reduce rewards and punishments.

Pingyao City God Temple is well worth visiting. Pingyao City God Temple not only worships the God of the City God, but also the God of Wealth and Kitchen God. It is a Taoist temple with three temples in one. The sculpture of the 12 Zodiacs in Chenghuang Temple is excellent in selection, lifelike, lifelike and ingenious.

Pingyao ancient county? County government is located in the center of Pingyao ancient city, which was founded in the Northern Wei Dynasty and finalized in the Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. The earliest preserved buildings have a history of more than 600 years. ? The whole yamen faces south, showing an axisymmetric layout. ? Pingyao? As the county government of China? One of the four well-preserved ancient yamen, it is also the largest county government in China. "A hundred years of smoke and clouds are close at hand, a wind and rain vicissitudes." When standing in front of the yamen in Pingyao County, the doors with heavy red paint, the threshold more than one foot high and the blue and white square walls are daunting.

The main buildings of the county official's son are lined up along the central axis, which are: Yamen, Yimen, Paifang, Lobby, Zhaimen, Ertang, Neizhai and Daxian Building in turn. The whole county government building complex is orderly, patchwork and reasonable in structure, which is an organic whole. Years have passed, and the big lion at the entrance of yamen is still mighty.

The lobby is the main place for the magistrate to handle official business. It has the highest specification in the county government office building, so there is a platform in front of the lobby. There are five halls in the lobby, three in the middle, and a horizontal plaque "People's Hall" is hung under the eaves of the lobby. In order to meet the needs of tourism, "Tang Sheng" performance is now held regularly every day.

After visiting the creepy prison and the exhibition hall of torture devices, let's take a look at the endless back garden, the pleasing fish pond and the gazebo, where the magistrate of a county can enjoy himself.

The best finale of this scenic spot of the county government is Yuting Building, where you can climb mountains. Is a lookout county magistrate, can directly see the people's livelihood and social security in the city. Now it's completely open to tourists, so it's perfect to take photos and videos from a distance.

Food is the soul? Shanxi people are good at making pasta and like vinegar. There are many local specialties in Pingyao ancient city, and it is said that there are as many as 108 kinds. If you want to taste it all, prepare RMB and have a better appetite, it is not impossible. A street in the Ming and Qing dynasties was a place where all kinds of food and snacks gathered, but the price was certain. After all, the rent in the bustling area is also very expensive.

Good shops are generally hidden deep. I found this house from a comment-it's in the North Restaurant, with a small storefront, and it's in Chenghuangmiao Street. The decoration is simple and warm, and the dishes taste extraordinary, giving people a feeling of private cuisine. Every dish is fried beautifully. The point is that it's really delicious.

After dinner, you should also prepare for your return trip. Pingyao looks forward to meeting you again!
