Chen Taiwei palace was listed in the fifth batch of national key cultural relics protection units in 2001. It was originally Chen Su ancestral hall. Chen Su, a native of Gushi, Henan Province, lived in seclusion in Caofeng, Luoyuan at the end of the Tang Dynasty. He taught people farming and ethics. In the second year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty (1209), Chen Su, who had passed away for 294 years, was granted the title of "King Huihou of England" by the imperial court. In 1239, the third year of Jiaxi in the Southern Song Dynasty, he was granted the title of "Xianyou Jiaying Marquis".

Main story

Chen Qingying, the grandson of Chen Su, bravely fought against the Mongolian soldiers and was awarded the title of "Du Tong Fu Mo Tai Wei" by the imperial court.

Later, chensu ancestral hall was renamed as Shengong, which was called chentaiwei palace. After the yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was expanded into three halls, and then the stage and palace gate were added. All of them were built in the style of wearing a bucket. Within the palace, the buildings of the song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties coexist and merge into one. It is known as the "Museum of ancient architecture" by cultural relic experts.
