historyˇG

Wenao Chenghuang Temple is the first Chenghuang Temple in Pengfu located at the middle place of the old villages in Wenao.  The first record of this temple is in 1766, and the constructing time should be earlier.  Wenao is one of the villages in early periods in Pengfu.  Its past name was Anao where has been the Administration Center.  This temple was originally an official temple.  The Government Offices were moved to Makung and built another Chenghuang Temple there.  Wenao Chenghuang Temple has become the local temple in Wenao.

characteristicˇG

The width of each palace is only nine meters.  Due to narrow space, there is no courtyard in the temple. So, people will feel extraordinarily solemn and recondite when they watch the inner space but not the whole appearance of the main palace.  Plenty of shuttle-pillars in the inner are obvious characteristics in the temple. The temple is a style of three-ridge and three-edge construction.  The decoration of the main gate is the key point of the whole temple.  The roofing of the main gate was the mountain-river type maintained from the end period of Ching Dynasty.  Besides, the framework and the decoration of the worship palace and the main palace maintained local tints. Watching from the external appearance, the layout of Wenao Chenghuang Temple is narrow, the disposal of the flat surface is deep and long, and the pillars inside the palace are neat and tidy.  It is a pity that is the location of the temple is very narrow and hard to be expanded.  As a result, the government built another Chenghuang Temple in Makong due to the wider location.
