Beitou Cisheng Temple

Please improve waste and noise problems Don't use the solution as an excuse

Wherever there is a need, there is a faith center. Walking on Linong Street, the first street in Taipei, you will find the oldest temple in northern Taiwan, the Cisheng Palace, which was built in the Ming Dynasty for two or three years (243 BC). According to "Taipei County Chronicle" of 1960: "The Cisheng Palace was the beginning of the temple of Tembei. At the end of Ming Dynasty, the ancestors of Tongan and Zhangzhou counties of Fujian immigrated to the Tembei area, and then gradually expanded to the coast of Bali." The current location is in the nearby Geely Park, and later, as the number of believers increased, it was relocated to its current location during the Guangxu Period. The Cisheng Palace enshrines the main deity as "the first emperor of the grain", that is, "the Shennong Emperor Shennong" who tastes Baicao. Like farmers, doctors, and drug dealers, he is regarded as the patron saint or grandfather. The Cisheng Palace, which is not listed as a monument, is actually not like an ancient temple. Whether it is the portrait of the god on the door, the doorpost, the incense burner and other decorations have been completely renovated. At best, it can only be called an "antique" Temple building, I feel sad and sorry! Although the Cisheng Palace could not have the name of a century-old monument for some reason, we can still find some clues like "ancient monuments". The "Inscription on Revenue and Expenditure" on the right wall of the entrance of Cisheng Palace, from the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese Occupation to the Republic of China, can be found from the inscription on the evolution of currency and changes in the word count. The word "Showa" under the stone lion's foot in front of the door was erased because of the Kuomintang's rule, but it can still be seen faintly.

Wu Lian Cisheng Palace, worships the main god as the first emperor of five grains (the first emperor of five grains) No. 321, Linong Street, Linongli, Beitou District, Taipei City, because it is located in Beitou District, it can also be called Cisheng Temple in Beitou District, but outsiders are easy to confuse with Cihou Temple in Beitou District (Mazu is the main god). Local people are customary to call it Wugu Xiandi Temple or Xiandi Gongmiao. Cisheng Palace is rumored to have been built in the 23rd year (1669) of Ming Zheng Yongli or in 1661 documents. The current appearance of the building was rebuilt in 1973. Expanded to the present day, the three bays have left and right Guanyin Hall and Mazu Hall, and extended temples, mountain gates, platforms, stage and houses. It is an antique-style temple building. Because the main god is the agricultural god of prehistoric times, the building decoration has four seasons of farming. Figures, stone carvings and wall paintings of the twenty-four solar terms or related backgrounds, etc., are unique. There are also two stone lions from the Showa period in front of the gate. In addition to the deeds of the main god Wugu Xiandi, the temple is also the natal family of the second mother of Guandu Palace in northern Taiwan. Therefore, in the important festivals at the temple, in addition to the grand detour on the birthday of Wugu Xiandi from April 22 to 26 of the lunar calendar, There is also the custom of welcoming the second mother back to her natal family on the 16th of the first lunar month.
