1942 Old photos of Yuncheng Yanchi Temple and Jiexian Guandi Temple

This old photo of Yuncheng, Shanxi in 1942, mainly shows the memorial ceremony of Yanchi Temple in Yuncheng at that time and Guandi Temple in Hehe County

This group of photos is from Yadong Printing Collection. It was from August 1924 to 1944 that the Japanese invaders sent intelligence personnel to take a large number of human and geographical photos of various parts of China, which were published by the Japanese as A Collection of Asian Prints. These photos recorded the living conditions of Chinese people at that time, as well as the geographical features of all parts of the country, giving us a chance to see the historical images of China at that time

The magazine of this group of photos was first published in May 1942, so this group of photos should be taken before May 1942

The following is the photo preview, and the photo annotation is the original annotation translation:
