The crowd sourced encyclopedia's article on Yongle Palace, read directly for this entry. Its strength is a well referenced summary of the temple's construction across 1240 to 1358, its 1958 to 1966 relocation for the Sanmenxia Dam, its heritage protection status, and its dedication to the Taoist immortal Lu Dongbin, cross checked here against China Daily's account of the same relocation (which gives 1959 to 1964, a minor date range difference between the two sources rather than a substantive dispute). Its limit is that it is not independently peer reviewed, so it is cited for corroborated factual detail rather than for interpretation.

Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier
3
Wikipedia's community maintained article on Yongle Gong is a continuously revised tertiary encyclopedia entry with no named author or peer review process, hence the lower tier, though useful here for the temple's construction and relocation history, cross checked against independent reporting on the same relocation.
Notes
Read directly during research; cited for the temple's construction dates, painter Ma Junxiang's name, its heritage protection status and its dedication to Lu Dongbin.
