1. The "Lukang New Zugu Temple" was established in 1787, making it a site of significant historical value. It is the only government-constructed Matsu temple in Taiwan, which adds to its rarity. Although the current structure is the result of later renovations, it remains an important historical witness, especially with its stele and stone incense burner that hold great historical significance. 2.

Xinzumiao Introduction

The New Ancestor Palace is a temple built under the imperial decree of Emperor Qianlong. In October of the 52nd year of Qianlong (AD 1787), General Jiayong, Fu Kang'an, led a strong army of over 100,000 soldiers to Lu-kang to quell Lin Shuangwen's uprising. While it was said that the soldiers acted on orders, they also relied on divine assistance. Hence, funds were allocated for construction, and in December of that year, the foundation was laid and the framework erected. By the following June, the temple was completed, and the statue of the Heavenly Mother was enshrined, commonly referred to as the "New Palace."
