New Zu Palace Introduction
Xinzuguang Temple was built under the imperial decree of Emperor Qianlong. In October of the 52nd year of Qianlong's reign (1787), General Jia Yonggong Fukang'an led an elite army of over 100,000 to Lükang to quell the rebellion led by Lin Shuangwen. Although it was said that the soldiers acted on orders, divine assistance was also relied upon. Therefore, funds were allocated from the treasury for its construction. The foundation was laid and the beams erected in December of that year, and the temple was completed by June of the following year. The statue of the Holy Mother of Heaven was enshrined, and it is commonly referred to as the "New Temple."
