It was a royal temple for worshipping the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, emperors of all dynasties, and civil and military officials during the Ming and Qing dynasties. [RoundNails] In the main hall, Jingde Chongsheng Hall, there are tablets of 188 people, including the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of Qin and founding emperors and emperors who ruled over dynasties. In the east and west side halls, there are tablets of 79 civil officials and military generals. [Pushpin] Among the 188 emperors of various dynasties, there are also some powerful rulers such as the Liao and Jin emperors, but the well-known Qin Shi Huang was not included in the list. The reason is that "Emperor Kangxi set the bottom line for inclusion in the list: 'All emperors who have been in power, except those who were unjust, murdered, or lost their country, should be included in the temple and worshipped.' That is, as long as the emperor was not killed or lost his country because of unjust and immoral behavior, he can be included in the temple and worshipped."
