Fuzhou's hidden ancient temple in the downtown area.

Hidden in Fuzhou's downtown area is the ancient temple of Dingguang Temple, which dates back to the Later Tang Dynasty of the Five Dynasties. At that time, the King of Min, Wang Shenzhi, built this temple to repay his father and brother for their upbringing, and it was originally named Baoen Temple. However, the name of Dingguang Temple has a legendary story. It is said that during the construction of the temple, a colorful pearl was dug out from the ground, which was dazzling. Wang Shenzhi was surprised and happy to see this vision, so he changed the name of the temple to Dingguang Temple. The roof ridge and plaque of the temple are indigo blue, with golden brackets, colorful dragons flying on the eaves, and the patterns on the pillars and beams are exquisitely carved, which is very exquisite. The Dingguang Pagoda in Dingguang Temple is the White Pagoda in Fuzhou's "Three Mountains and Two Pagodas". Also known as: Baoen Dingguang Tower, the Southern Song Dynasty poet Xin Qiji was the prefect of Fuzhou, and once climbed the White Tower, he sighed: There are many sorrows in life, only the yellow flowers are still the same
