Ardan Emperor's Temple in Dounan, Ardan Village, is dedicated to Xuan Tian Shangdi. The old name of the site was “Tai Gao Ma Lunzai,” and it is said to be the birthplace of the faith of the Six House Mamas. In the early years, there was no temple in the village; the Emperor and other deities were offered by rotating worship at the kitchen stove. In 1987, the government subsidized the construction of the temple, and the first floor serves as a nursery. Photography: Xue Yingqi (copyright photo, please do not redistribute)
