Shamei Wan'an Temple Introduction
According to the records of Kinmen County, Shabei Wan'an Hall was built during the Yuan Dynasty, making it over 700 years old and the oldest Baosheng Emperor temple in Kinmen County. Baosheng Emperor is known as the "God of Medicine" in folk beliefs, commonly referred to as "Da Dao Gong," "Wu Zhenren," and "Hua Qiao Gong." In times when medicine was not well developed, families with ill members would go to the temple to seek divine guidance and remedies, which proved to be quite effective. Hence, Baosheng Emperor became an important deity for seeking blessings and healing in Kinmen's folk beliefs. After three reconstructions, the current site is where it was later relocated. In 2009, it was integrated with the local environment and planned as the "Wan'an Hall Origin Memorial Park," featuring a stone statue of Baosheng Emperor riding a white horse, a stele recording his life achievements, and the Zodiac Fortune Stone, which has been selected as one of Taiwan's top religious sites.
