Scenic spot introduction:
The Zhouyuan Dayu Temple in Hancheng is the earliest and best-preserved Dayu Temple in the country. It is also one of the two existing Dayu Temples in the country. Zhouyuan Dayu Temple, also known as the Daxia King Yu Temple, was built to commemorate Dayu's flood control and praise his merits. Dayu, who dug the Dragon Gate and controlled floods, was a god revered by the people of Hancheng. "Yu Gong" recorded in the book "Yu Gong" records that "stones are accumulated in the river, and as for the Dragon Gate", as well as the poem "Yi Yi" in the "Book of Songs·Han Yi" "Liangshan, defend Yu's place." etc. It means that Dayu led the people through arduous struggle and finally opened the dragon gate and subdued the flood demon, so that the Yellow River could be stabilized and the people could live and work in peace and contentment. Therefore, the villages such as Zan Village, Liangdai Village, Shidai Village, and Wangdai Village along the Yellow River from Longmen in Hancheng all have temples to King Yu to pray to Dayu to bless them with good weather and good harvests every year. However, due to war or other reasons, most of the Dayu Temples in other places were destroyed. Only the Dayu Temple built in Zhouyuan Village was fortunate enough to be completely preserved. Zhouyuan Dayu Temple is located in Zhouyuan Village, Sudong Township, five kilometers east of the old city of Hancheng, Weinan, Shaanxi.Attractions distribution:
