Introduction

Translated into English: Originally known as Zhongyang Temple, it was built during the Yuan Dynasty to commemorate Wang Zhe, the founder of the True Teaching in Taoism, who gave sermons and erected a stele here. It was later flooded and damaged, with only the Yuhuang Pavilion remaining. The Yuhuang Pavilion is also interesting because it once sank underground due to the flooding of the Yellow River. In order to protect the tower, the government funded the "lifting" of the entire tower to the surface. The tower consists of three layers - upper, middle, and lower - all constructed with blue bricks, blue stones, and glazed tiles, without the use of beams or wood. The second layer is a solid building, making it impossible to reach the third layer, symbolizing the height and loftiness of the Jade Emperor.
