The Cheng Huang Temple, established in 1839, is modeled after the Ao Ting Palace of the Yongming Temple in Quanzhou. After several reconstructions and renovations, it has taken on its current appearance. The main deity worshipped in the temple is the City God, who is honored as "Zhong You Hou." The couplets inside the temple convey the meanings of "rewarding good and punishing evil" and serve as a warning for people to do good. The sixteen phrases include: "Benevolent heart and donations, dedicating merits; alleviating disasters and hardships, attaining joy and happiness."

Lukang Chenghuang Temple Introduction

In the 19th year of the Daoguang reign (1839), the Lin family of Rihmaohang and local gentry requested the city god from Yongning, Quanzhou (Aocheng), to build a temple in Lugang. Since the Yongning City God Temple is called "Aoting Temple," the Lugang City God Temple also used its ancestral temple's name "Aoting Temple." The main hall enshrines the City God, who is conferred the title of "Duke Zhongyou." Above the altar is an inscription "Xieliyi Yang," which indicates the City God's duty to manage both the underworld and the mortal realm.
