Monument to hometown:
As the hometown of Guan Gong, Xiezhou Temple was built quite early. According to relevant inscriptions, as early as Sui Chen, the Guandi Temple in Xiezhou was built. From the Song and Yuan Dynasties to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with the upsurge of beautification, deification and deification of Guan Yu from all walks of life, Guan Di Temple in Xiezhou has been repaired, rebuilt and expanded on a large scale for many times.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the temple caught fire several times and suffered heavy losses, but it was repaired and rebuilt in the Republic of China. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the people's government attached great importance to the ancient architectural complex of Guandi Temple in Xiezhou, not only included it in the national key cultural relics protection units for protection, but also allocated funds for the maintenance and restoration of the temple for many times, basically restoring its original historical features.
