Introduction to the ancient mosque: The ancient mosque in Taierzhuang is located about 200 meters southwest of the Zhongzheng Gate. It was built in 1742 (the seventh year of Qianlong reign in the Qing Dynasty) under the leadership of Imam Li Zhonghe. It is commonly known as Beida Temple. The ancient temple covers an area of ​​about 3333 square meters and has a construction area of ​​​​3,333 square meters. With an area of ​​more than 800 square meters, there are 25 chapels, 5 lecture halls, 6 water rooms, auxiliary rooms, wing rooms, gate towers, etc. The green cypresses in the temple are lush and upright, full of vitality. In the late Qing Dynasty, it was rebuilt into the South Gate Tower, and the door number of the ancient temple was renamed the Mosque.
During the Battle of Taierzhuang, the mosque was the focus of the battle between the Chinese army and the Japanese army. It was once the command post of the Japanese army that entered the city. The officers and soldiers defending the city recaptured the mosque after 7 days and 7 nights of tug-of-war. When the Japanese army fled, they set fire to the inner building of the temple. Hall, the ancient temple after the recovery, is in ruins and almost in ruins. In 1942, Ma Huating once again raised funds to rebuild the mosque and added a 28-meter-high, four-story Wangyue Tower. In 1985, the state and local Hui people raised funds to rebuild it as it was, and it is now a national cultural relic protection unit.
