Taoists will carry out a memorial service for victims of the Wenchuan earthquake at Yanxian Guan temple near Mianzhu, Sichuan, on May 12, 2009. The temple, which was the residence of Yan Junping, one of the founders of the Taoist religion during the Western Han Dynasty (207BC-AD25), was badly damaged in the earthquake and is currently being restored.
