Wugu Wang Temple Introduction
Wugu King is also known as Shennong, the God of Agriculture. Taiwan is an agricultural nation primarily focused on rice cultivation. Therefore, the God of Grains is honored for his contributions to the development of grains and wheat, gaining recognition and respect from future generations. Every year, on the day of his birthday, the 26th day of the fourth lunar month, the celebrations are grand and lively. The temple was established during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of several hundred years. It was originally built by the local residents to pray for a bountiful harvest of grains. Today, it enjoys a thriving worship community, and much of National Chung Cheng University’s campus land was donated by this temple.
