Datan
Jingzhong Temple
Three Hundred Years of Sacred Protection
Since its founding in the Qing Dynasty, Jingzhong Temple has stood as the sacred guardian of Datan Village and the surrounding townships, enshrining the spirit of Southern Song Dynasty national hero Yue Fei — Yue Wumu Wang — whose loyalty and righteousness continue to bless all who seek his protection.
Yue Wumu Wang
Devoted Loyalty to the Nation — His Noble Spirit Lives On
Yue Fei (1103–1142) was the supreme general of the Southern Song Dynasty, famed for the four characters tattooed on his back: 精忠報國 — "Devote oneself with utmost loyalty to serve the nation." His life of sacrifice against foreign invasion remains the ultimate model of integrity and loyalty.
Yue Wumu Wang governs justice, academic success, career advancement, and family protection. Those who seek righteous vindication, success in examinations, business prosperity, or protection of the household come to seek his blessing.
