History<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The Cheng-Huan (city god) Temple of Taiwan prefecture was build in Yongli 23rd year (1669). It is the earliest and largest city god Temple in Taiwan.<\/p>\n

Now it was listed as national relics because of its important value in history, cultural, architecture and folk religion.<\/p>\n

\"001\u57ce\u968d\u723a\"<\/p>\n

According to the system of Ming & Ching Dynasties, for the purpose to identify their individual nobility ranking, Cheng-Huan of the capital was named [King Ming Ning], Cheng-Huan of the prefecture was named [Duke Wei Ning], Cheng-Huan of the province was named [Marquis Ning Yo], Cheng-Huan of the county was named [Count Sian Yo].<\/p>\n

Originally, Cheng-Huan was the god of city wall and moat, then changed to be a god to protect people’s lives and properties. It is a city god of justice in charge of local jurisdictional affairs.<\/p>\n

The magistrate officer engaged the city’s affairs and Cheng-Huan engaged all affairs in both the world and underworld, staring at people in their deeds that making awe people not to do evil things.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, being believe that the divine power of Cheng-Huan can help the people and the nation, every new local magistrate must worship Cheng-Huan before his inauguration of the new position.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Because Cheng-Huan Temple is where the jurisdictional affairs are judged by the god, the spatial layout of the temple is similar to that of an official courthouse and the atmosphere is solemn and dismal in order that anyone who commit criminal acts would feel scared.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
