A regional edition news and heritage feature from China Daily, the state English language newspaper, describing Yongle Palace's founding in the Yuan dynasty, its 1959 to 1964 relocation from Yongle town to Ruicheng county to make way for the Sanmenxia Dam on the Yellow River, and the Chaoyuan Tu mural's dimensions, figure count and present location within the temple's Sanqing Hall. Its strength is a clear, dated statement that the mural remains at Yongle Palace today, which corroborates the peer reviewed Song article's own account and resolves a conflict found in one other outlet consulted during research (see this file's header). Its limit is that it is heritage journalism rather than peer reviewed scholarship, so it is cited for documented location, dimensions and relocation history rather than for interpretation.

Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Tier two: a regional China Daily heritage feature, the state English language newspaper, giving a clear dated statement that the Chaoyuan Tu mural remains at Yongle Palace today, corroborating the peer reviewed Song article's own account. Its limit is that it is heritage journalism rather than peer reviewed scholarship, cited here for documented location, dimensions and relocation history rather than interpretation. NotesCited for the temple's relocation history, the mural's west wall dimensions (403 square meters) and figure count (286 gods on that wall), and confirmation that the mural remains at Yongle Palace today.
