Nanyue Temple | Be your own deity as a young boy at the foot of Mount Heng

| Be your own deity as a young boy at the foot of Mount Heng. ✓【Nanyue Temple Incense Offering】 Our family of three, these three types of incense sets ×3 Total: 168 yuan~ Not sure if I got ripped off ✓【Hunan Buddha Worship Query】 Then the rituals here in Hunan are also strange, the incense is not lit, and even without unwrapping the plastic seal and paper box, it is directly thrown into the burner This question started from the Kaifu Temple in Changsha, I asked the masters and they said that the incense for Buddha worship does not need to be lit, just throw it into the furnace After worshiping at Nanyue Temple, in the end, I was left with a small piece of wood to take home, anyway, as long as the Nanyue Emperor is happy!!! ✓【Brief History of Nanyue Temple】 ① It was first built in the 13th year of the Kaiyuan era of the Tang Dynasty (725 AD), and after sixteen reconstructions, it now has nine courtyards, eight Taoist temples in the east, and eight temples in the west ② The Hall of the Holy Emperor has 9 bays, with a total height of 31.11 meters, a double-eaved Xieshan roof, and 72 pillars in the main hall, symbolizing the 72 peaks of Mount Heng in Nanyue ③ The fire in 1882 (the eighth year of the Guangxu era) established the current layout, and the two major repairs in 1879 and 1920 replaced all with stone pillars ④ Although the military and political celebrities of the Republic of China in Hunan competed to donate to the construction, Zhao Hengti, the commander-in-chief of the Xiang Army, donated the most pillars because he was a local from Mount Heng ⑤ Since the Kangxi era, every major repair of Nanyue Temple was inscribed with imperial plaques, and six emperors of the Qing Dynasty bestowed a total of seven plaques ⑥ The polychrome gilded dougong at the west corner gate of Jiaying Gate is a component from the Five Dynasties' Later Liang period, with a history of 1091 years to date ⑦ The folk have always confused the beliefs in the Nanyue Emperor, the Yan Emperor, and the Fire God Zhurong, but even the most chaotic beliefs do not affect the super popularity of the incense at this temple
