  • A Wen Wu temple or Wenwu temple (Chinese: 文武廟) is a dual temple in China venerating the two patron gods of civil and martial affairs in the same temple complex. In southern China the civil god or Wéndì (Chinese: 文帝) is Wenchang (Chinese: 文昌), while in the north it is Confucius; in both north and south the martial god or Wǔdì (Chinese: 武帝) is Lord Guan (Chinese: 關帝). Although single temples to either the civil or martial god alone are widespread, it is comparatively rare to find temples venerating both. During the Ming and Qing dynasties, Wen Wu temples were patronised by those seeking success in the Imperial examinations, which were divided into civil and military examinations, and by those seeking advancement in professions which could be interpreted as falling under the aegis of one of the gods. Thus, to the present day, civil servants make offerings to the civil god, and policemen to the martial god. (en)
  • O Templo Wen Wu ou Templo Wenwu (chinês tradicional: 文武廟) é um tipo de templo na China que serve para venerar tanto os deuses patronos de assuntos em um mesmo complexo do templo. No sul da China, o deus civil ou Wéndì (chinês tradicional: 文帝), é (chinês tradicional: 文昌) e no norte é Confúcio, tanto na região do norte quanto na região do sul o deus marcial ou Wǔdì (chinês tradicional: 武帝) é Guan Yu (chinês tradicional: 關帝). Embora os templos para as divindades civis ou marciais sejam difundidos, é relativamente raro ter templos que servem para a veneração de ambas as divindades. Templos Wen Wu foram patrocinados por pessoas das dinastias Ming e Qing que procuravam obter o sucesso nos exames imperiais, que foram divididos em exames civis e militares, e por aqueles que procuravam algum tipo de avanço nas profissões que poderiam ser interpretadas como caindo sob a égide de qualquer um desses deuses; por exemplo, até o dia de hoje os funcionários públicos fazem ofertas ao deus civil, enquanto que policiais ou militares ao deus marcial.
