I. Introduction to Susan Temple:
Susan Temple, the former residence of Su Xun, Su Shi and Su Zhe (known as "Susan" in history) in the Northern Song Dynasty, was founded in the Northern Song Dynasty. It is a cultural shrine for celebrities, scholars and poets to pay tribute to Su San.
Su Shi lived here for many years, and many of his poems recalled the life here when he was a child. In the Yuan Dynasty, the house was turned into a shrine and was destroyed by fire in the late Ming Dynasty. In the 4th year of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty (1665), it was rebuilt on the original site. Susan Temple covers an area of 65,438+006 mu and has preserved many ancient buildings and Su family relics. Thousands of cultural relics and documents about Su San are collected here, showing his family style, life story, Dongpo calligraphy forest and so on.

Susan Temple covers an area of 65,000 square meters, with a slightly trapezoidal plane, short from north to south and long from east to west. The two corners in the east are approximately right-angled, and the west is inclined. The south is the south gate in the east and the west gate in the northwest corner.
The ancestral hall consists of the front hall (the gate of the ancient temple), the dining hall, the Seven Immortals Hall, the Laifengxuan, the east and west wings and the corridor, which are on the same central axis, from south to north.

There are flying chairs and railings on the back of the east and west wing rooms for tourists to rest in the pool.
