He-Pao Mountain Earth Mother Temple Introduction
The Dihua Temple was established in the 34th year of the Guangxu reign of the Qing Dynasty. It has undergone several renovations over the years, and it was only in the 58th year of the Republic of China that it was rebuilt and renovated to reach its current scale. The main hall enshrines the Earth Mother, and the walls on both sides are sculpted with miraculous tales of the Earth Mother saving sentient beings. The coffered ceiling is exquisitely crafted and uniquely designed. In front of the temple is the "Bagua Palm Earth Nine Dragon Pond," featuring nine clay dragons centered around a Bagua pond, with a globe supported by columns above the pond. On top of the globe are the Earth Mother and the Bagua diagram, symbolizing the supreme status.
