Tsang-Kung Temple and Tsang-Kung Giant Tree
 
　　Tsao Chin（曹謹）, Ching Dynasty’s Fengshan county magistrate, had been took office for five years. He loved the residents as if they were his own children and improved the irrigation. Before that, all the crops depended on the weather. The local residents acknowledged his contribution of reorganizing the irrigation works and set op the Tsao-Kung Shrine to commemorate him .A tablet was put up to praise his character and the great improvement of people’s living condition. Before Nov. first ,1992AD ,Tsao-Kung Temple was called Tsang-Kung Shrine . To repay Tsao Chin’s kindness and virtue, the Kaohsiung Water Conservancy built a statue of, Tsao Chin（曹謹）.Then-Tsao-Kung Shrine was called Tsao-Kung Temple later.
 
　　In 1991, a tree in Tsao-Kung Elementary School, which is across Tsao-Kung Temple was officially called as “Tsao-Kung Giant Tree”, brings out the best in each other. The times of Japanese occupation, the government demolished the Fengshan county government and rectified it as the “Fengshan Ordinary High-Grade Elementary School”, set up by Japanese. Many Japanese who graduated from this school still cherish the memory of the school tree in the schoolyard and they often organized group to visit the schoolyard to recall their childhood.
 
　　The elementary school was bombed by allied forces at World War II. After Taiwan restoration, it temporary became Fengshan Elementary School’s building, when the “Fengshan Elementary School” moved out; they commemorate the contribution of the Tsao Chin County magistrate, so it is called “Tsang-Kung Elementary School”.


　　During the rule of Japanese, Governor Erh Yu found Tsao-Kung Temple collapsing when he was patrolling Fengshan in 1900’s. So it was announced that the ground belong to public spaces, and it would be used for the reconstruction. People were asked to offer the money to rebuild the temple. And all of the government staffs should be asked to participate in the rebuilding of the temple. In the following year, the new viceroy had presented a piece of wooden horizontal board which now is preserved in the temple to keep all the bad spirits away.

　　In Tsao-Kung Elementary School there are some Bischoffia javanica trees planted right in front of the square. One of them is still standing strongly while it witnessed all the sadness and happiness in the past two hundred years.
　　The ex-principle of the elementary school thinks that the tree has become a very valuable keepsake. Also Tsao-Kung has lived in here for a period of time. So is considerate a kind of meaningful plant.
