Sanmiao Temple, originally known as Sanmiao Hall, is a renowned sacred site of Talismanic Daoism located on the south side of Tianfeng in Wushan, Hangzhou. It is dedicated to the Three Mao Brothers, who attained immortality during the Qin and Han dynasties. These brothers are the Great Mao Jun Mao Ying, Middle Mao Jun Mao Gu, and Youngest Mao Jun Mao Zhong, collectively known as the Three Mao True Immortals.
During the Southern Song Dynasty, in the 20th year of the Shaoxing era (1150), the temple was bestowed the name Ning Shou Temple, and its full name became Sanmiao Ning Shou Temple. At that time, the temple’s prominence was unmatched. Emperor Gaozong of Song bestowed upon it a Tang Dynasty bell, a Song Dynasty tripod, and a small script ‘Yinfu Jing’ written by Chu Suiliang. The temple also housed Wu Daozi’s ‘Portrait of the Southern Star Lord’, a jade-hilted sword, a set of seven treasures, and a Xuanyuan mirror, collectively known as the ‘Seven Treasures’ of the temple. Consequently, the mountain was named ‘Seven Treasures’.
Behind the temple, the ‘Twelve Jade Terraces’ were constructed, where peach blossoms were extensively planted. During the spring sacrificial season, this area was known as ‘Ten Thousand Jades on the Jade Terrace’, which is one of the eight scenic spots of Wushan. In the Yuan and Ming dynasties, a library was established within the temple, where the young Yu Qian once studied.
