Jongmyo (shrine)
A Jongmyo () or Taimiao ()  is a  temple in China. They are very old temples  where people honored their ancestors who were important and powerful. Nobles and rulers are honored in these temples. The word "Jong" (宗) means "ancestral" and "Myo" means "temple." (庙) The first Jongmyo found was at the Yinxu Palace and Temple Site in Anyang, China. As of 2023, it has not been excavated. In the past, only important people were allowed to have these temples for their ancestors. People who did not have much power were not allowed to make these temples. This is according to a writing called "The Xunzi-Liturgy."
