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.

7. 玄妙觀
玄妙觀是著名的道教廟宇，歷史悠久，位於蘇州古城中心。在廟前東西向的街道叫做
觀前街，是蘇州著名的商業步行街。一條南北向的宮巷，直接通向玄妙觀的正山門。
玄妙觀始建於西晉(公元276)，最初名字為「真慶道院」。南宋毀於戰爭。重建於宋朝
(1174年至1189年)，在1264年並更名為玄妙觀。清朝康熙皇帝時期，因為皇帝名字(玄
燁)，避免命名忌諱，寺廟改名元妙觀。
正殿是三清殿，佔地約1100平方米（1316平方碼）。建於宋代（960-1279），大廳是木
結構。殿前，懸掛一塊牌匾上書「三清殿」。
殿內供奉三清神像。中間是玉磬（玉純）。中間是「玉清元始天尊」、右側是「上清
靈寶天尊」、左側是「太清道德天尊」。這三尊雕像是鍍金泥塑，每尊高7公尺（23英
尺）。雕像看起來生動、莊嚴而凝重。
其他包括財神殿和文殿也值得一遊。

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。

高二丈、寬八尺。明洪武四年(1371)清理道教，特請文學家方孝孺作記勒石，以

燕王朱棣兵入南京後，要方孝孺起草登極詔書，方氏抗命不從被殺，且滅十族。
連他書寫的碑文也被剷除乾淨，成了一塊無字碑。此碑雖無一字，卻遐爾聞名，
為玄妙觀三大名碑之一。
