Zhongyi Temple Introduction
The Zhongyi Temple in Beitou, Lugang, was first dedicated in the 55th year of the Qianlong era, which corresponds to 1790. Initially, it followed a system where the furnace master was rotated among local families; later, in the 3rd year of the Daoguang era, or 1823, the temple was built for worship. The exterior of Zhongyi Temple is magnificent, with the side walls adorned with marble inscriptions of poems by famous calligraphers and poets from Lugang. It also features intricately crafted wooden altars and a plaque that reads "Yiyong Jingzhong." The overall decoration of the temple is quite splendid, employing many bright colors.
