Abstract: Erwang Temple of Dujiangyan is an important place for the belief of the two kings in western Sichuan. In this materialized religious building space, religious activities and secular activities run parallel, shaping its faith space and the temple culture. Among them, the principal deity of the temple is the sacred foundation, and the penetration of state power, the dominance of local governments, and the support of ordinary people which constituted the dynamic balance of the belief space culture of the Erwang Temple. This process shows that the formation of belief space culture not only needs the materialized religious buildings to provide the belief space, but also the religious and secular activities to communicate the belief space and society.

Key words: The Erwang Temple, Belief space, Cultural structure, Shrine cults
