The Chenghuang Temple, established in 1839, is modeled after the Aoting Palace of the Yongming Temple in Quanzhou. After several reconstructions and renovations, it has become what it is today. The main hall enshrines Chenghuang, who is granted the title of "Lord Zhongyou." The couplets inside the temple convey the meanings of "rewarding the good and punishing the evil" and serve as a reminder for people to do good. Here are sixteen sentences: "Good hearts and good contributions return merits, dispelling disasters and alleviating suffering, attaining happiness."

Lukang Chenghuang Temple Introduction

In the 19th year of the Daoguang era (1839), Lin family of Rihmouxing and local gentry invited the City God from Yongning (Aocheng) in Quanzhou to build a temple in Lugang. Since the Yongning City God Temple is called "Aoting Temple," the Lugang City God Temple adopted the ancestral temple name "Aoting Temple." The main altar is dedicated to the City God, who is conferred the title of "Zhongyou Marquis." The plaque above the spirit shrine reads "Coordinating Yin and Yang," which describes the responsibilities of the City God in governing both the underworld and the mortal realm.
