Last year, Hailing District conducted a survey of cultural relics and found that there is an ancient building called “Medical Palace” in Danji Village Committee, which was built in Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty for four years and has been more than 100 years. Let us take a look at the history of this "Medical Palace".


Danji "Medical Palace" is located opposite the Danji Village Committee, covering an area of nearly 1,000 square meters, with a construction area of more than 400 square meters, and a brick-wood structure. There are three entrances in total. The first entrance is the hall and the second entrance is for people to rest. In the place of worship, the third entry enshrines the statue of "Medical Emperor". The "Medical Palace" is old-fashioned. The entrance is made of three large stone pillars. On both sides of the hall are stone pillar roof beams. The eaves and interior are carved with landscapes, flowers and birds, and characters.


According to the old man in the village, it is said that a long time ago, a well-known doctor came to Danji Village to open a medical center to treat people and save people. Because of his good skills, the people he treated were all cured by medicine, plus he was free for the local The poor people are treated with respect by everyone. Now, there are bamboo sticks for his prescription in the "Medical Palace". After this person's death, people built a temple to commemorate him. Because he did not know his name, he was called "Medical Emperor". This temple was called "Medical Emperor Palace". The "Medical Palace" was rebuilt in Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty for four years. There are still stone inscriptions on the temple reconstruction.
