Lukang Fengshan Temple Introduction
Fengshan Temple in Quanzhou is a designated historic site dedicated to Guan Ze Zun Wang. The main temple is located in Fengshan Temple, Nan'an County, Quanzhou. Immigrants from Nan'an brought offerings to Lukang, where the temple was established and named after Fengshan Temple. The temple has a history dating back to the second year of the Daoguang period (1822), and it was expanded in the tenth year of the Daoguang period. Originally, it was a long-shaped temple, but due to street widening, the courtyard was demolished and the San Chuan Hall was moved back, forming its current appearance. The left and right sides of the San Chuan Hall still exhibit signs of the original seams, which visitors can examine closely. Guan Ze Zun Wang, also known as Bao An Zun Wang, is highly revered among the people of Quanzhou, and he has various titles such as Guo Sheng Wang, Guo Wang Gong, and Guo Fu Sheng Wang. For those with knowledge, the courtyard features inscriptions by the scholar Liao Chunbo and the sage Chen Huaicheng, which hold significant literary value. The left wing of the temple served as the location for the Beiguan ticket office, which currently only displays the plaque "Yu Ru Yi," and it houses the Wang Ye of Wanchun Palace. The dragon and tiger stops on either side of the San Chuan Hall, as well as the calligraphy and paintings in the courtyard, are made from Jiaozhi pottery, exuding an ancient charm. The temple is elegant, and its artifacts are valuable, making it worth a visit.
