Introduction to tiangong

There are two Temples, one is located in Songjiang Road, Taipei City, and the other is located in Beitou District, commonly known as "Zhong Yi Temple". The simplicity of the temple reveals solemnity and creates a normal religious style for the first time; There is no merit box, it is said that effective citizens are scrambling to tell each other, so Fengxiang tourists are in an endless stream. Beitou Palace was built for Guan (Guan Gong), also known as the main palace, and its architectural momentum is like a temple in the northern part of the mainland. Guan Gong is a famous war general in history and is regarded as a warrior, an excellent financial manager and a patron saint of business. Especially different from other temples, they don't sacrifice or burn paper money. There are many people who ask God for advice, and almost all the underground shopping malls outside the Temple of Heaven are filled with fortune-telling booths, which is a major feature.

Located at the intersection of East Road and Songjiang Road, the Temple of Heaven was built in 1967 to commemorate Emperor Guan. Guan Jun, commonly known as Guan Di Ye, was initially admired by Confucianism, and then gradually became a folk god. Soldiers are regarded as Wu Shen, and businessmen are regarded as the God of Wealth. At the same time, he occupies an important position in Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, and is the main judge of human good and evil. For Taipei, where industry and commerce are developed, Guan's role as a god of wealth is especially respected, so he is regarded as a god of commercial protection. There are many men and women in good families, and cigarettes haunt the territory.

Tiangong, commonly known as the ancestral temple, is a special term for Luan Tang, meaning savior. Among the gods in Taiwan Province, Guan is not the only one who is called the patriarch. However, since the times, Taiwan Province people have been paying tribute to Guan. Up to now, there are more than 65,438+040 Guan temples in Taiwan Province, of which Yilan is the largest.

The architecture of the Temple of Heaven is simple and solemn. The plaque in the main hall is inscribed with the ink of Tiangong by Yu Youren, and there are five main doors below. It's locked on weekdays, and it's only in the spring and autumn that the door is opened to meet God. Most pilgrims go in and out through the left and right side doors-"Yan Yan" and "Hehe". Near the temple gate, many vendors selling fragrant paper, magnolia flowers, fried rice, fried winter powder and so on are constantly selling and doing business; If you take the underpass, there are many life picture galleries along the street, which are also the characteristics of Xingtiangong area. When entering the temple, cigarettes filled the air, and a quiet atmosphere curled up. Compared with the crowds and traffic outside the fence, the Tiangong was surrounded by a rare cleanliness.

From August 26th, 20 14, there will be no big incense burner and sacrificial platform in Xingtiangong Temple, and no more worshippers will burn incense. All admirers will bow down with their hands folded.
