Zhanghua City Guandi Temple Introduction
Main Deity: Guanyin Emperor Historical Development: The Changhua Guandi Temple is designated as a county historical site and was established in the thirteenth year of the Yongzheng era of the Qing Dynasty (1735) by the county magistrate Qin Shiwang. Its original location was inside the South Gate of the county. In the fifty-first year of the Qianlong era, Lin Shuangwen led a rebellion against the Qing, and many temples and government offices within the city were destroyed during the war. After the situation stabilized, in the fifth year of the Jiaqing era (1800), County Magistrate Hu Yingkui, along with the gifted scholars Zheng Shimo and Wu Dongsheng, advocated for the relocation to the current site.
