He Pao Mountain Earth Mother Temple Introduction
Dihua Temple was established in the 34th year of the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty and has undergone several renovations over the years. It was not until the 58th year of the Republic of China that it was rebuilt and renovated to its present scale. The main hall is dedicated to the Earth Mother Goddess, with miraculous legends of her appearing to save sentient beings depicted on the walls on both sides. The coffered ceiling is intricately carved, showcasing exceptional craftsmanship. In front of the temple is the "Bagua Palm Earth Nine Dragon Pond," where nine clay dragons are centered around the Bagua pond, supported by pillars that hold up a globe, with the Earth Mother Goddess and the Bagua diagram on top of the globe, symbolizing the supreme status.
