Han Wen Gong Shrine

The site of Han Wen Gong Shrine is No. 18 Dongxing North Road, Xiangqiao District, Chaozhou City, Guangdong Province, that is, at the foot of Bijia Mountain in the east of Chaozhou City. Han Wen Gong Shrine was built in the second year of Xianping in the Northern Song Dynasty (999), and it is the earliest existing shrine in China to commemorate the Tang Dynasty literary scholar Han Yu. The Han Wen Gong Shrine is backed by Han Mountain and faces Han River. The main building is divided into two sections, front and back. The beams in the shrine are full of plaques written by famous artists. At the end of the corridor in front of the shrine, there is a straight stone step path with 51 steps. The front wall of the shrine body is nearly 90 cm high. The neat stone skirt board is built with flat and solid light green chopped brick walls. The brick walls are connected to the roof and the rafters. All along their respective curved surfaces are carefully chiseled to make the bricks and wood as tightly connected as the chopped brick seams below. The light green wall surface sets off the light and elegant and calm and solemn blue official script plaque of 'Han Wen Gong's Shrine' above the concave belly door in the middle. On May 25, 2006, the Han Wen Gong Shrine was announced by the State Council of the People's Republic of China as the sixth batch of national key cultural relics protection units. 🕙Business hours: Tuesday-Sunday 8:30-17:00, stop admission at 17:00; closed on Monday, except for statutory holidays. ⏳Play time: Free opening, enter with ID card, visit time 30 minutes ~ 1 hour.
