3. Xuanmiao Temple (Temple of Mystery)
Xuanmiao Temple or “Temple of Mystery” is a prominent Taoist temple with a long history,
located at the center of old Suzhou City. The street along east-west direction in front of the
temple is called Guanqian Street, a famed business pedestrian street in Suzhou. A lane called
Gong Xiang (宫巷) along north-south direction leads directly to the gate.
Xuanmiao Temple was founded in Western Jin Dynasty (AD 276), and was initially named
“Zhen Qing Dao Yuan”. It was destroyed by wars in Southern Song Dynasty. It was rebuilt in
Song Dynasty (1174–1189), and was renamed Xuanmiao Guan in 1264. During the reign of the
Kangxi Emperor in the Qing Dynasty, the temple was renamed Yuanmiao Guan (元妙觀) to
avoid naming taboo because the emperor's personal name, Xuan-Ye (玄燁), contained the
Chinese character xuan (玄).
Covering an area of about 1,100 square meters (1,316 square yards), the San Qing Dian (Pure
Trinity Hall) is the main hall here. Built during the Song Dynasty (960-1279), this hall features
wood construction. Standing in front of the hall, tourists will find a plaque hung overhead with
the three Chinese characters 'San' 'Qing' and 'Dian' written on it.
In the hall stand statues of the trinity San Qing (three Pure Gods) for people to worship. In the
middle is Yu Qing (Jade Pure). On either side of Yu Qing stand Shang Qing (Upper Pure) and
Tai Qing (Great Pure). The three statues are gold-gilded clay sculptures, each with a height of
about 7 meters (23 feet). They look solemn and imposing as if they were still alive.
Other halls including the Caishen Hall (Hall of the God of Wealth) and the Wenchang Hall are
also worth visiting.

1. 元始天尊:又名「玉清元始天尊」。在「三清」之中位為最尊,也是道教神仙中的
第一位尊神。為「主持天界之祖」。他的地位雖然高,但出現卻比太上老君要晚。
2. 靈寶天尊:原稱上清高聖太上玉晨元皇大道君。列其在第二神階之中位,僅次於
第一神階中位之元始天尊。
3. 道德天尊:即太上老君,居「三清尊神」的第三位,是道教初期崇奉的至高神。
