Clay sculptures at Xianying Palace, National-level protected clay sculpture site in Xianqi Village, Zhanggang Town, Changle District, China

The clay sculptures at Xianying Palace comprise over fifty figures unearthed in 1992, of which forty-four are largely intact. They are grouped into five sets, including Mazu, the sea-patrolling god Xunhai Dashen and the Dawa deities, modelled in clay and dated mainly to the Ming and Qing dynasties, with a few pieces possibly from the Yuan.

Xianying Palace was founded in 1138, in the eighth year of the Shaoxing era of the Southern Song, as a temple to Mazu. During the Guangxu reign of the Qing dynasty it was buried by wind-blown sand. Villagers building houses uncovered it again in June 1992, and excavations brought out more than fifty clay figures, forty-four of them largely intact, dated mainly to the Ming and Qing with a few as early as the Yuan. The site was listed as a national key cultural relic in 2006.

Locals call the temple Butterfly Temple (蝴蝶庙), and the clay figures are grouped into five sets: Mazu, the sea-patrolling god Xunhai Dashen, the Dawa, and others. Most date to the Ming and Qing dynasties, a few to the Yuan. The Mazu figures reflect the temple's role as a Mazu shrine in a coastal Fujian village.

The sculptures are inside Xianying Palace in Xianqi Village, Zhanggang Town, Changle District, southeast of Fuzhou. The temple was buried by wind-blown sand in the Guangxu era and uncovered in June 1992 when villagers dug foundations for houses, so the figures now sit in a hall rebuilt after that discovery.

The temple is known locally as the "Butterfly Temple". Buried by wind-blown sand in the Guangxu era, it lay hidden until June 1992, when villagers digging foundations for houses uncovered it again.
