Introduction to Erxian Temple: Erxian Temple was founded during the Daguan Period of the Northern Song Dynasty (1107-1110) and is a key national cultural relic protection unit. The Erxian Temple is composed of two courtyards, which house the two immortals of the Le family. The mountain gate in front of the temple has been destroyed, and the buildings in the front yard have also been completely changed. Now only the main hall, ear hall, incense pavilion, side hall, etc. in the backyard remain. The main hall is three square rooms with huge materials and sparsely distributed brackets. The wooden "Tiangong Pavilion" in the hall is composed of three single buildings and a single arcade bridge. The number of overhanging brackets is rare in Song Dynasty architecture and is a rare art treasure. There are two statues of immortals and four statues of maids on the altar in the back trough. The figures depicted are dignified in posture, with delicate features and beautiful eyes. They are masterpieces among sculptures of the Song Dynasty.
