Sheng Wang Temple Introduction
Sheng Wang Temple, also known as Wei Hui Palace, is a national historic site that was established in the eleventh year of the Yongzheng era during the Qing Dynasty (1732 AD). It was later damaged during the Chen-Chou-Chuan incident and was rebuilt during the Jiaqing and Guangxu eras. This ancient temple is dedicated to the worship of Chen Yuan-guang, the Holy King of Kaizhang, and serves as the guardian temple for the Zhangzhou people in Changhua City, which was once the center of faith for the Zhangzhou community. Chen Yuan-guang, a figure from the Tang Dynasty, came to Fujian from Guangzhou, Henan, and was posthumously honored as Wei Hui Sheng Wang for his contributions in opening Zhangzhou.
