Wengong Ancient Terrace is one of the eight scenic spots in ancient Teng. In history, Wen Gong Building, Wen Gong Temple, Wenchang Pavilion, Zhenwu Temple, etc. were built successively. Renovated in 1991, the ancient city of Teng now covers an area of ??500,000 square meters, of which the Wengong Terrace covers an area of ??2,700 square meters. The buildings are basically well preserved.
The east, west and south remains of the ancient city wall still exist. In the northeast corner of the city, there is Wengong Terrace, also known as Ling Terrace. It was originally the residence of Prince Teng. For thousands of years, Wengong Temple, Tengwang Pavilion, Zhenwu Temple, Wenchang Pavilion, etc. have been built on the platform. In the past, the Lingtai, Lingmarsh, ancient temples and ancient locust trees were built in the shape of a pavilion. The sound of Sanskrit chanting and sheng pipes, bells in the morning and drums in the evening, the sky was as green as dusk, and the walls of the palace were dense and large. The restored Wen Gong Terrace now faces south, with a length of 60 meters from east to west, 45 meters from north to south, and a height of 7 meters. In the center is the Teng Wengong Tower, with corridors on both sides. The two sides of the platform door are connected in an orderly manner to the east and west corridors and the left corridor. The east is the corridor. Taitung is the Forest of Steles. The stone carvings on the walls of the corridor record the ten famous celebrities in Teng, in order: Shuxiu, Teng Aogong, Teng Wengong, Ran You, Bi Zhan, Sima Mao, Chen Xiang, Xue Zhu, Xu Xing, and Li Dong, together with brief biographies of their lives. There is an open space in front of the stage that was used for military parades in ancient times. There are ancient locust trees on both sides at the foot of the stone steps, which are towering and have a history of more than a thousand years. According to records, it was planted by monks in the Tang Dynasty, and the locals called it the sacred tree. A spiritual marsh is built on both sides of the road to the south, a pool of green waves, with the sun shining in front of it, blue balls rolling on it, and fish jumping on the water. According to legend, Teng Wengong followed the example of King Wen of Zhou and ran it with the intention of enjoying the happiness of the people. About 500 meters southeast of Wen Gong Terrace is the Shang Palace Pavilion. It is said that after Teng Wen Gong succeeded to the throne, he invited Mencius to give lectures in the Shang Palace to develop strategies for strengthening the country and enriching the people. The remains of Shanggong Pavilion can still be seen.
200 meters northwest of the city is the ghost town of Zhuangli West Village. There is a prominent high platform that is said to be the tomb of the nobles of the Teng Kingdom. A large number of precious cultural relics unearthed in recent years, such as Tenghou Ding and Tenghuang Chime Bells, are the real basis for people to study the culture of Teng State.
In the past, the country of Teng was fifty miles long and made up for its shortcomings. According to legend, it lasted for more than 700 years for thirty-one generations. When eight hundred princes stood side by side and seven heroes dominated the country, it was hailed as a "good country" and "outstanding above the twelve princes above". It created a glorious example of enriching the people, strengthening the country, and becoming self-reliant.
