聖德堂

The very important faith center in the village, from small to large.

I ’ve been there many years ago, but I have forgotten what this place looks like. This temple is not a very small one.

History content: Shengde Church is located in Xiaodongli, Dounan Town. It is surrounded by gods and gods. It is difficult to conquer the ages. It can be traced back to the time when the Han people came to Taiwan to develop cultivation. There were Zhangzhou women from Zhangzhou, Fujian, who crossed the sea with their five sons. , For the sake of wealth and peace, especially to Putuo Mountain, please entrust the marshal Jin Zun of the altar. He is piously carried and served by the gods. A family of six arrived in peace. They first settled in the area of ​​the Tucuma public house. However, it is not easy to reclaim the land, so the family moved to In Huwei's peaceful home, although the income was meager and unable to make ends meet, the Zhang family woman went to Xiaodongli to help her with the family name Xu. Although the road from Pinghecuo to Xiaodongli is not far away, it needs to be wading through the water, and there are bandits along the way. The boss surnamed Xu thought of the ancestors of the Zhang family alone, which was really in danger. He allowed to provide housing for free, and the five sons moved to Xiaodongli. Dongli was reclaimed. Later, due to the epidemic in Xiaodong, the Xu family sold the land to the Zhang brothers at a low price to avoid the disaster. The Zhang family then settled in Xiaodong, and the Zhongtan marshal Jin Zun was finally exempted. Fleeing from the world, he has been stationed in Xiaodong ever since. The Zhang brothers enshrined the Marshal of the Central Altar in the hall of the family house and worshipped. In case of pious inquiries, the holy gods must respond to illnesses. The disease will be cured until the disease is cured. The power of the gods is prominent and spread throughout the neighborhood. Since then, the believers are connected to the prince. Believe in more, devout, and the incense is increasing. Before long, Zhuangzhong believes that the people are in love with the gods. So he proposed to build a temple. Due to financial constraints, only the grass thatched hut was enshrined. Soon, the temple was turned down by a drunk and burned. Fortunately, Prince Yuanshi Jinzun is safe and sound. The palace was destroyed, and the villagers had to raise funds again to rebuild the land, the new hall was completed, and the towering Guan Shengdijun was enshrined in the town seat, and the marshal of the altar was worshipped as the main god, and the four gods were successively sculptured. They were enshrined in the temple. So far, the believers worshipped something and became the center of local faith. In the 26th year of the Republic of China, Japan launched a war of aggression against China and strictly implemented the "Imperialization" campaign against Taiwan. With the borrowing term "the gods ascend to heaven", they ordered the local temples to hand over the statues and burn them together. Zhuang Min called the village elders to discuss and re-carve them. A third prince, handed over to the eyes and ears of the Japanese people, and the fund-opening statue is secretly asked to be kept in the house of Zhang Hua, a staff member of the office, to avoid man-made disasters. It was the time when the Japanese wanted to forcibly abolish the temple, and the letter moved to the office to make a petition, saying that the reserved temple could be used as a place for the farming team to distribute rice. The Japanese agreed to the request of the people, and the temple was saved from demolishing. After the restoration, religious restraint was lifted. In the 35th year of the Republic of China, Zhuangmin initiated reconstruction and replaced it with a brick structure, which was completed the following year. After decades of star frost, pilasters eroded, and worshipping by the faithful, it was also narrow, and the road surface was increased, which affected the construction of palaces and temples. So it was rebuilt in 1969, new cuts were added, and walls and temples were strengthened. A new look, brighten the world, to match Shenxu. Shengde Church is located in Xiaodongli, Dounan Town. The surrounding houses are scattered, quiet and simple. The seat sits east to west and covers an area of ​​about 200 square meters. The temple is covered with a canopy and decorated with lights and colorful lights. There is a stage on the left side of the temple. It is used for performances and rewards during Christmas. There is a stone lion town seat in front of the temple, which is simple and cute, as if it blends with the surrounding countryside. The temple wall presents a fragrant color, which shows that the temple is very old and cigarettes are flourishing. The niche is full of gods, and the middle seat is Guan Shengjun, mighty Huanyi, and the niche writes "The air is filled with the heaven and the earth, and the spring and autumn enjoy the spring and autumn." The Zhaoguan emperor is loyal and righteous. The Mother of Heaven, the Lord of the State and the Thousands of the Zhang Mansion are all in the same niche. Traces of smoked Mucuna can be seen vaguely from the gods, and the group of truths gather to protect Cangli. The left niche is dedicated to Zhusheng Niang, who is in charge of the children and daughters of the world, the right niche is dedicated to Fude Zhengshen and the land woman, and the Yuanping woman in Fusui, the right niche is entrusted to the town seat of Tai Sui Xingjun to eliminate disasters and welcome Come to Xiangfu. There are plaques hung around the temple, "God's inspiration", "Holy title of virtue", "Protect the country and the people", "God's prestige"... etc., are all gifted by believers and friends from all quarters. The Marshal of the Kaiji Middle Altar, enshrined in the main niche, the holy relic is prominent, and the left arm of the third prince has been broken. The chief of the temple is telling the cause of the miracle: in the 26th year of the Republic of China, the Sino-Japanese War began, and the Second World War broke out. The U.S. military frequently bombed Taiwan Island. At that time, a parachute shell fell on the orchard behind the Xiaodongli house. In order to receive the cannonball, the prince wound one arm each. The believers were dubious, but the master of the temple asked the two gods to check it. If they broke one arm each, everyone said differently. They bowed their heads and thanked the prince for saving his life. The prince also ordered that the broken arm does not need to be repaired and kept as it is, so that it can be passed on to future generations. In recent years, a newly carved prince's vice seat in the temple accidentally fell to the ground when welcoming the invitation, causing his arm to break. However, the break coincided with the opening of the fund, and the coincidence could not help but admire the prince's marshal's vast magical powers. After the liberation, smallpox and plague were prevalent in the locality. There were countless patients. At that time, because of the lack of medicine and the lack of financial resources of the villagers, they went to the temple to pray for the furnace pill and Taoism to be taken. There are countless people. The miracle was prominent, and Xiaodong's father was pious and obedient, and everyone talked about it. The grandest celebration in the middle of the year is the birthday of Master Zhongtan on the 9th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar. People from the border enthusiastically participated in the ceremony, offering fruit to come to worship, the palace invited art troupes to perform, and there was a custom of mutual feasting. The marshal of the middle altar to patrol the territory to exorcise evil and demons is a grand event in the Xiaodong area. The good people set up a case along the way to welcome and welcome the children. The children form a formation and follow the sedan chair to patrol the territory. The palace also organizes a lion formation to preserve the traditional folk arts. On June 24th, for Guan Shengdijun’s Christmas, theatrical troupe was also invited to perform. The benevolent people helped the old and the young. They took a leisurely stroll in the busy farming period. They came together at sunset and performed hard on stage. The stage was festive and joyous and celebrated the birthday of God. At the beginning of each year, the ceremonies of lighting up the lights and celebrating the Tai Sui ceremony are held to help the believers to eliminate disasters and to pray for good luck. Sheng Dexi adopts the managerial system, inherited from the ancestors of the Zhang family, and the villagers take turns to choose the head of the house and the furnace owner to manage the affairs of the palace and take charge of the sacrificial matters. On June 30th, 1999, the Management Committee was established. It was held every four years. The first chairman Zhang Jianfu was elected. In 1993, the second management committee was elected. Chairman Zhang Xianci, vice chairman Li Chunguo, executive director Huang Zailai, Supervisors Zhang Guangwei and Yang Liangxian, Secretary Shen Muchang, Legal Affairs Group Shen Chaomin, Finance Group Zhang Fucong and Huang Zailai, General Affairs Group Zhang Changguo and Zhang Qingmei, Ceremony Group Zhang Mingxin, Lion Group Zhang Changxiong and Zhang Mingchun, recite the scriptures Team He Fuzhu. The members are all bound to be faithful, with all the wills, serve sincerely, devote themselves to their beliefs, and unite the local people. Every 10th, 20th, and 30th of each month, it is the prosperous period, for the believers to seek treatment of intractable diseases, or to solve the puzzles in their hearts. The history of the miracles of the East Prince, the calendar, the mighty shining, the fame and the fame, and everyone knows. In the future, we plan to establish a charity foundation to engage in public welfare and charitable undertakings in order to promote the purpose of helping the world and helping others through religion.
