Xiluo Xincuo Gongxiao Temple, Guardian Deity of the Jiangshi Introduction
HONGLUQI TEMPLE, also known as Xiluo Gongxiaogong, is dedicated to the deity Zhong Kui. Its origin is quite legendary. Over a hundred years ago, families in Xinzhuo Village often experienced unexplained fires. The villagers invited the matriarch from Xiluo Guangfu Temple to come and conduct a divination. According to her guidance, the village was identified as a "HONGLUQI cave," and it was necessary to worship the Demon-Subduing Emperor to ward off disasters and resolve calamities.
