Beiyue Temple is located in Quyang County, Baoding City. It was the place where emperors of all dynasties worshiped Beiyue Hengshan from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. Today's temple was first built in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and has been repaired in various dynasties in history. The existing buildings are mainly in the Yuan Dynasty style, which is very old. The whole temple is simple and elegant. It is very good to visit historical sites, take pictures and learn about history.
The focus of visiting Beiyue Temple is the many stone stele carvings in the temple. There are more than 1,500 stele inscriptions in the temple from the Northern Wei Dynasty to the founding of New China. The impression inscription contains cursive script, regular script, official script and other calligraphy fonts. It is a treasure house for observing calligraphy and understanding history. It is very precious and can be viewed one by one.
The murals in the main hall of Beiyue Temple are also very precious, such as the "big and vast dragon" in the painting "Clouds and Rain", and the "Flying God" in the murals of "Wan Guo Xianning", all of which are painted with unique personality and very vivid. On the wall of Beishan Mountain is even more spectacular. It is said that it was painted by the painter Wu Daozi himself. You can take a good look at it.
On the west side of the entrance of Beiyue Temple, there is also a Quyang County Museum, which displays some cultural relics of Quyang, mainly the famous Quyang stone carvings, which can be visited by the way.
