In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, at the entrance of Sanguanlou Lane from Wenjiazhuang to East Street, Jiexiu City, there were two pavilions built on the one-kilometer-long street, and both pavilions were called Sanguanlou. One is built at the intersection of Sanguanlou Lane, Hujiayuan Street and East Street, and the other is built at the Chongren Bridge (commonly known as the Yuhuang Bridge) at the intersection of Wenjiazhuang Zheng Street and North and South Shuimen Street. Both of the two buildings are cross-street buildings. The first floor is supported by 16 eaves columns and the second floor is pavilion, with gray tiles on the roof, glazed tiles, and glazed edges. The plaques under the eaves on the second floor are written with the "Three Officials Tower", and the hall above the building is enshrined in the three Officials , . The three-story single building on the back seat of the Daluo Palace in Mianshan also has a Sanguan Hall. The Sanguan Temple is built on Mubi Village, Gaoshan District, the southern end of the city, the Sanguan Temple is built on Xilitun Village, the Sanguan Temple is built on Xialihou Village, and the Sanguan Temple is built on Song'an Village, the northern end of the city, the Sanguan Temple is also built on Song'an Village, the southern end of the city. In a feudal society where production and technology have been lagging behind for a long time, it is understandable to some extent that people pray for the protection of the gods.

Sanguan Temple in Song'an Village is located at the north entrance of the village. This is an ancient temple that has long been decadent. It was built in unknown years. The temple courtyard faces north and south. The main hall has two upper and lower floors. There are supporting halls on both sides of the east and west. The west side has severe collapses, the roof glazed components are mottled, and the courtyard is covered with weeds. A small plaque is hung on the front of the gate, engraved with the four words "Light Universe", which is done by modern people.
There is a retired teacher living in the inner room of the courtyard, who plays the role of guarding the temple, so the temple can be protected and not be demolished and flattened. The first floor of the main hall is a five-eye beamless cave. There are corner brick stairs leading to the second floor on both sides. The second and third floors are brick-built walls, wooden houses, and glazed tiled roofs. The hall is called "Guangming Hall". The door plaque is damaged and placed in a corner of the hall. The three clay sculptures (that is, the three officials) originally worshipped in the hall were destroyed during the Cultural Revolution. The three piles of soil formed were still lying quietly on the altars where they were worshipped, and traces of murals were still preserved on the white walls.
There is a small stele inlaid in the inner wall of the hall. From the content of the stele, we can know that the temple was renovated in April (1785) of the 50th year of Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty. The Sanguan Temple belongs to Taoist architecture. According to Taoism, the Sanguan is the chief executive in Taoism who controls the three realms of heaven, underworld and ocean. The gods of the three officials are " heavenly officials , earthly officials , water officials ", and they are in charge of managing all affairs between heaven, underworld and ocean.
Our country has had the etiquette of offering sacrifices to heaven, earth and water since ancient times. The so-called " heavenly officials give blessings to , earthly officials forgive sins, and water officials relieve disasters" means that the "three officials" have the power to "give blessings, forgive sins, and relieve disasters" to the world and the souls of the dead. Every year, the Heavenly Officials are ordered on the 15th day of the first lunar month. Believers will come here to pay sacrifices and pray for blessings, that is, pray for blessings from heavenly Officials. Every July 15th day, the local officials are in charge of the order, that is, the day when the ancestors worship their ancestors, families who have left their relatives will pray to the local officials to exempt the deceased from punishment. October 15th is , the second year of the , that is, the water officials will ask the water officials to pray for the water officials to eliminate disasters and difficulties. So this day we will sacrifice to the water officials.

These are the ancestors of the sages and sages of China since ancient times. They will bring light to people, so the Chinese have always admired and respected them. For example, when people encounter disasters, they will pray in the temple and pray for the protection of the gods; when they encounter drought, they will spontaneously go to the Sanguan Temple to pray for rain and pray, pray for the water god to bring rain and rescue the people in danger from the sea of suffering. This custom has been going on for twenty centuries.
