Abstract

Yongle Palace was built during the Yuan Dynasty and is the ancestral home of the Quanzhen Sect, featuring the largest and most diverse murals remaining from that era. This research aims to explore the Taoist culture and artistic value of the temple through document analysis and field surveys. It uses the theory of cultural creativity to analyze the murals, architecture, and cultural background. The results indicate that the murals and architecture of the temple hold significant historical and artistic value, reflecting deep religious meanings. The research also proposes management approaches, such as the conservation of murals through digital systems and the development of cultural products, to promote sustainable tourism at Yongle Palace.
