Temple of Wu Wenjian, Historical temple in Qingyuan County, China
The Temple of Wu Wenjian stands as a dual temple complex that honors both civil and martial deities within its traditional Chinese architectural structure.
During the Ming and Qing dynasties, this temple served as a crucial site for individuals preparing for Imperial examinations in both civil and military categories.
The temple demonstrates the Chinese practice of venerating Wenchang as the civil god in Southern regions while maintaining Lord Guan as the martial deity throughout China.
The temple maintains its role in modern times as civil servants and law enforcement officers continue to make offerings to their respective patron deities.
This temple differs from most Chinese religious structures by simultaneously housing shrines for both civil and martial gods under one roof.
