Jiang Taigong Temple
姜太公祠
A memorial temple to Jiang Taigong, founding ruler of the State of Qi, telling the story of his enfeoffment and the military heritage of Qi.
Jiang Taigong Temple stands in Qidu Town, Linzi, right next to the burial site of Jiang Taigong's robes and hat. The complex includes Danfeng Gate, the Taigong Hall and the Hall of the Military Sage. Sculptures and murals recount how Jiang Shang helped the Zhou overthrow the Shang and was granted the state of Qi, and displays trace the military tradition back to the *Six Secret Teachings*. Admission is about CNY 50, and the temple is open roughly 8:00 to 17:30. Together with the Qi Culture Museum, the Horse Sacrifice Pit and the Guan Zhong Memorial Hall, it makes a good one-day Qi culture tour in Linzi, with taxi rides of 10 to 15 minutes between sites.
