Address: Gaoshang Village, Liuji Town, Dong'e County, Liaocheng City, Shandong Province Transportation: Self-driving navigation "Jingjue Temple", the road in the village is narrow Parking: There is an open space at the entrance of the temple, free parking Tickets: No tickets, donations are allowed in the donation box On both sides of the temple are inscribed "Majestic National Map and Benefiting All Sentient Beings". The paint and printing are a bit rough, which is incomparable to the royal or imperially built ones we visited earlier. There is a couplet promoting Buddhism on the main entrance, which exudes the local rustic flavor. Inside the temple: The main building is a gable-roofed building with blue bricks and gray tiles, with no painted decorations, and we don’t know much about other architectural languages. It is closer to the style of Shandong rural houses. There are incense tables and cushions in the main hall for worship, but the paint on the wooden doors is peeling and fading. The smell of burning incense in the temple is also different from that in large scenic spots. It has the familiar and friendly smell of burning incense in my hometown in Shandong. There were a few incense sticks in the rusty iron incense burner, burning sparsely. The main gate of the temple is not open, and entry and exit are through the side doors. The stay was no more than ten minutes and there really wasn't much to see. The temple itself is very small and is located right next to the village. Its overall style blends in with the surrounding village buildings. There must be a lot of local villagers gathering here on weekdays. Maybe this is where its wisdom lies. The "immeasurable field of blessings" mentioned in the Buddhist scriptures may be the sound of the enamel pot falling from the hands of an old man, the playing cards scattered in the bucket of a tricycle, or the coughing and laughing in the sun on the missing stone pier.

During the Spring Festival holiday, my wife and I visited the only national treasure cultural relic protection unit in Dong'e County, the Yushan Cao Zhi Tomb. The tomb is located on the western slope of Yushan Mountain, 20 km south of Dong'e County, Liaocheng City. It is the tomb of Cao Zhi, a famous poet of the Wei State (220–265) during the Three Kingdoms period and the third son of Cao Cao. The cemetery has a Cao Zhi Memorial Hall that tells the life story of Cao Zhi, and there are wonderful dance story performances in the park. On the left side of the tomb, there is a stele building rebuilt in the 25th year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1899), which houses the Cao Zhi tombstone erected in the Sui Dynasty. The stele is 2.47 meters high, 1.03 meters wide, and 0.21 meters thick. The stele crown and stele body are carved from a single stone, and the inscription has a total of 935 characters, using both seal and clerical script. So far, there are still very few tombs from the Three Kingdoms period discovered in China, so the discovery of Cao Zhi's tomb is of great value for research in literature and archaeology. In March 1977, cultural relics and archaeological workers discovered an inscribed brick on the tomb wall about 3 meters high in front of the tomb chamber. The brick is a tomb brick, with inscriptions on three sides: "On the 15th day of the 3rd month of the 7th year of Taihe, the governor of Yanzhou, Hou Chang, sent 200 soldiers, including Zhu Zhou, to complete the construction of the tomb of King Chen, and each was given a 200-day rest. The supervisor was the minister of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Shun." This proves the authenticity of Cao Zhi's tomb in Dong'e. The ticket is not expensive, and the historical significance is profound. It is a good place to pay tribute to the ancients and enjoy a distant view of the Yellow River from the mountain. The only drawback is that it is unreasonable to pay 8 yuan each time for a private floating bridge to cross the Yellow River.
