The Temple of Five Lords (Chinese: 五公祠; pinyin: Wŭgōng Cí) is a memorial to five officials from the Tang and Song dynasties located to the southeast of the city of Haikou on the island of Hainan, China.
The buildings of the temple complex are the Guanjia Hall, the Xuepu Hall, the East and West Halls, as well as the Shugong and the Pubo temples. In total, the temple complex covers and area of 2800 square meters[1]. The five officials are represented by stone statues placed on the temple grounds.
The main temple building is a two-story wooden structure that stands more than 9 m meters tall and has a total floor structure of 560 square meters[2]. A board placed over the front entrance on the second floor declares it the "first building in Hainan". The earliest buildings of the complex were erected during the reign of Wanli Emperor (1572-1620) of the Ming Dynasty[2][3]. The temple has been restored during the reign of the Qing emperor Guanggxu (in 1889)[2].
The five officials commemorated in the temple are the Tang minister Li Deyu (Chinese: 李德裕, 787—850), and the four Song ministers Li Gang (Chinese: 李纲), Li Guang (Chinese: 李光), Zhao Ding (Chinese: 赵鼎), and Hu Quan (Chinese: 胡铨) [2]. Each of the officials had been banished to Hainan Province after having fallen out of the court's favor.
The Shugong Temple is located to the southeast of the Temple of Five Lords. It commemorates Zhu Xi (Chinese: 朱熹, name sometimes spelled Shu Shi), a renown Confucian scholar of the Song Dynasty.
The temple is located near the administrative border between the City of Haikou and Qiongshan District, about 5 kilometers away from the city center of Haikou.
