Definitions

[edit]

廟

  1. (architecture, religion) temple (Classifier: 座; 間／间)
    寧拆十座廟，不毀一樁婚 [Classical Chinese, trad.]

Usage notes

[edit]

The term 廟 is primarily used in the formal names for the temples of traditional deities who rank fairly low in the celestial hierarchy. The temples of higher-ranking gods, such as Mazu after her elevation to the "Queen of Heaven" by the Qing dynasty, are usually known as 宮／宫 (gōng, “palace”).
