Introduction to Situ Temple: Situ Temple is the ancestral temple of Deng Yu, the great Situ of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is also called Gubai'an, Boyin Society, and Boyin Jingshe. There is no historical record of the founding year and cannot be verified. It is located in the southeast corner of Jianlang Village in the west of Guangfu Town. The current temple was rebuilt in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Also called Dengwei Temple, there are four ancient cypress trees in the temple, which are nearly 2,000 years old. There are two existing temples and halls in Situ Temple, with a total of more than 20 rooms. The layout is traditional courtyard style. In front is a wall door with a pair of stone lions standing in front of it. Along the main axis when entering the door are the mountain gate and the main hall. The two are separated by a courtyard, with side chambers on both sides. There is a courtyard on the left side of the temple, planted with famous ancient cypress trees, and a cypress appreciation hall. Behind the hall is the world-famous four ancient cypress garden.
