Cheng-Huang
Temple is located west to Feng-Yi Academy of Classical Learning, constructed
in A.D. 1800, by county magistrate Li, Pi-Yu. The legend has it that
the county magistrate was to superintend all the things in this world,
but there was a god called Cheng-Huang from the Hades judging the
good and evil in people’s heart. The Cheng-Huang Temple in Fengshan
County was constructed in the old city at first. The Lin, Shuang-Wen
incident and his partner Zhuang, Da-Tong attacked the Old City in
Tsaoying, and the county magistrate Tang, Da-Kui and his colleague
died in the course of performing their duty. So the city was moved
to the New City, now called Fengshan City. When Wu, Zhao- Lin, the
county magistrate, built Cheng-Huang Temple in new city, he erected
a tablet in the temple with four Chinese characters “Chung Chie Liu
Fan” (忠節流芳)which means that the act of loyalty leave a fragrant
track in history, in order to remember Tang, Da-Kui and his colleague.
Now in the Cheng-Huang Temple, this tablet is of greatest historical
value.
