Yunlin Attractions

振興宮
振興宮

The exterior of Zhenxing Temple may appear unadorned, but it is the site of the altar for the ancestor of Qikan martial arts—Master A-Shan. Next to Zhenxing Temple is Zhenxing Society, which is the martial arts school established by Master A-Shan. From the archway at the entrance to the Master A-Shan Cemetery behind the temple, one can observe the historical ties between Qikan in Xiluo and the development of Xiluo itself. When mentioning Qikan martial arts in Xiluo, one cannot forget Master A-Shan (Liu Ming-Shan). After arriving in Taiwan in 1828 (the eighth year of the Daoguang Emperor), he settled in Xiluo. Being proficient in martial arts himself, he opened a martial arts school there to train disciples, which led to the flourishing of martial arts in Xiluo. The cemetery for Master A-Shan behind Zhenxing Temple was not his original burial site but was relocated here by later generations.

Address:70 Guangxing Road, Xingli, Xiluo Township, Yunlin County

Zhenxing Temple Introduction

The appearance of Zhenxing Temple may seem plain and unremarkable, but it is home to the shrine of the ancestor of Qikang Martial Arts—Master A-Shan. Next to Zhenxing Temple is the Zhenxing Society, which was the martial arts school established by Master A-Shan in the past. From the initial archway to the cemetery of Master A-Shan behind the temple, one can see the historical connection between Qikang in Xiluo and its development. When mentioning Qikang Martial Arts in Xiluo, one cannot overlook Master A-Shan (Liu Mingshan), who settled in Xiluo after arriving in Taiwan in 1828 (the eighth year of the Daoguang era). As he was proficient in martial arts, he opened a martial arts school here to train disciples, greatly enhancing the martial arts culture in Xiluo. The cemetery of Master A-Shan behind Zhenxing Temple was not originally where he was buried; it was moved here by later generations.
