During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Quanzhou moved into Taiwan Province Province in large numbers, so there were more than 65,438+000 temples in Guangze Wang Zun in Taiwan Province Province. Most overseas Chinese in Quanzhou make a living abroad, so there are Fengshan temples in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar, Thailand, the Philippines and other places in Southeast Asia to worship Guo.

Legend of Fengshan Temple in Nan 'an and Glory of King.
Fengshan Temple is located at the foot of Zhang Wenshan, Shishan Town, Nan 'an City. It is also known as Fengshan and is famous for its mountain shape. It is a famous ancient temple in southern Fujian with a long history. It is also the ancestral temple of Wang Zun Gongque Temple in Guangze, Fujian, Taiwan and other parts of the world. It was built in Tianfu for three years after the Five Dynasties (AD 938), and it was repeatedly promoted and abolished in the past dynasties. 1978 Rebuild the temple house to become Fengshan tourist area.
Temple is a typical four-entrance palace-style building, with peculiar layout and exquisite structure, which has the antique traditional style of southern Fujian. Fengshan Temple is dedicated to King Guangze, Master Wenchang, Sakyamuni and Guanyin Bodhisattva. It is a multi-temple, where the three religions live in harmony. The Lord God Guangze worships the king, which belongs to Taoism, but believers also regard it as a Buddha, and monks often live here in past dynasties.
Guangze respects the king's common surname Guo, whose name is Zhongfu. Born in Jingu, Anxi in the early years of Tongguang in the late Tang Dynasty (AD 923), he was brilliant since childhood and was very filial to his parents. His father, Guo Liang, farmed for a living and worked hard in the fields every morning in the dark. But he was thin, didn't gain much, and got a disease. He died at the age of 3 1. Her mother's surname is Lin Ming Su Niang, gentle and virtuous, hardworking and hardworking, working day and night. I didn't expect my husband to be killed by illness. Because the family was poor and couldn't raise the funeral expenses, the mother and son had to burn the body to ashes in tears, put it in a jar and put it in a hut for the time being.
In order to bury his father's ashes, Guo Zhongfu lived by herding sheep since childhood. Mother sewed and washed clothes for others, carried water and cooked, and the mother and son lived alone and struggled. After two or three years, my father's ashes could not be buried.
Yang Lao, a rich man, believed in the theory of geomantic omen and invited a geography master from Ganzhou to treasure for the Yang family. The geographer said it would take three years to find a good feng shui, so he lived in Yang's house. I have nothing to do on weekdays, tutoring children for Yang. Guo Zhongfu sometimes passes under the window of the study, and the words he hears can be recited later. The master geographer saw that Guanzhong was very clever and regarded him as a "child prodigy". After grazing every day, he often brings rice and tea to the geography master, which makes him feel the master's deep love and teaches him to read and write quietly.
Yang's elders are rich and can't finish eating delicacies. But Mrs. Yang is very stingy and reluctant to entertain the geography master with good food. One day, the geography master was ill, and the doctor said that eating mutton medicine could cure the disease. There are many sheep in Elder Yang's sheepfold, but he refuses to kill one for the treatment of the master geographer.
One night, a sheep slipped and fell into the cesspool and drowned. Mrs Yang told Guanzhong to fish it up, kill it and cook it for the geography master. The geographer eagerly asked Guanzhong, "I haven't had a good meal in Yang's family for so long. I can't even bear to fill my medicine with mutton when I am sick. How can I be so kind today? "
Guo Zhongfu secretly told him, "Sir, this sheep fell into the cesspit and drowned. Elder Yang didn't dare to eat it himself and couldn't bear to throw it away. Mrs. Yang asked me to kill it for you. " When the geographer heard this, he sighed and spat out all the mutton he had eaten. He sighed and said, "Senior Yang, if you don't measure your breath, you won't be blessed!"
The geographer and Guo Zhongfu have been together for a long time, and their friendship is getting closer and closer. One day, the master geographer asked Guanzhong, "I will give you a treasure trove of geomantic omen. Do you want it? " Guo Zhongfu said, "If you want it, you just can't afford it." The master geographer said: It doesn't matter whether you want to be an emperor or a marquis for generations. "I thought," One emperor is not as good as ten thousand emperors, "he said." I want ten thousand emperors to be appointed. "
The master geographer nodded and told him the truth: "The place where the ram sleeps in the sheepfold is a treasure trove of geomantic omen. The number of sheep in the sheepfold will never decrease. If you kill one today, you will have a hundred tomorrow. If you want this land of feng shui, take your father's ashes with you. When it thunders and rains, put them in the washbasin and let me wash my face, and I will beat and scold you. You must burst into tears, the more you cry, the better. Pour the ashes into the place where the ram sleeps, and the ashes will naturally penetrate. That is the real hole. "
Guo Zhongfu, according to the master geographer. Go home and bring back my father's ashes. When it thunders and rains, he does as the geography teacher says. Had a quarrel with the geography master, and poured the water in the washbasin into the place where the ram slept. Elder Yang heard the news and came to ask the geography master what had happened. The geography master said, "Look at the dirty water he brought. How can I wash my face?" Elder Yang was very angry after hearing this, so he came to play Zhongfu. Guanzhong really burst into tears and cried very sadly.
The next morning, Guo Zhongfu went into the sheepfold as usual. When he saw it, he was shocked. Yesterday, a big beehive stood out where the ashes were dumped, and countless black peaks stung a large group of sheep. Elder Yang had no sheep, so naturally he couldn't eat sheep for free, so he got a generous reward and let him leave the Yang family.
When Guo Zhongfu left, he came to say goodbye to the geography teacher. The master geographer told him, "This is not a place to live for a long time. You and your mother should go east to a place where cows ride people, people wear copper, the water turns red and carp climb trees. That's where you live. "
Guo Zhongfu went home and told his mother that the mother and son believed the words of the geography master, rolled up their bedding and walked all the way to the east. Walking to the foot of Fengshan in Nan 'an, it suddenly rained heavily. He saw a cowherd squatting under the cow's stomach to hide from the rain, and a monk put the right to practice brass cymbals on his head as a hat; A fisherman by the pool ran to the tree to hide from the rain, and the carp caught in a hurry hung on the tree, swinging its tail straight and jumping around. Soon, Songkhla on the mountain was washed down by the downpour. Zhong You thought: Isn't the child crouching under the cow's stomach a "cow knight"? The monk wears a brass cymbal on his head. Isn't that "people wear copper"? Is red soil flushing "water turns red"? Carps are hanging on trees and jumping around. Isn't that "carp on the tree"? All these miracles were answered by the geography master. He said to his mother, "This is where we live."
After the heavy rain, Guo Zhongfu asked the villagers to borrow a place to live. Some people feel sorry for them and tell him: "There is a new house here, which is often haunted after it is built. The host is afraid to live there. If you are not afraid, you can borrow it from him. " "I'm not afraid of ghosts!" Guo Zhongfu went to the shopkeeper and explained his purpose. The owner of the house, suffering from the empty new house, agreed to let Guanzhong and his mother stay. Strange to say, since Guo Zhongfu and his son moved in, the new house has been safe and sound, and there are no longer long-haired evil spirits making trouble.
After Guo Zhongfu landed in Phoenix Mountain, his mother helped people make needles, and Guanzhong went up the mountain to collect firewood for some oil, salt and rice to make a living. Sometimes Guanzhong goes out to do odd jobs for others, and later when he is tired, he will go home to accompany his mother. The host will leave half of what he gives to his mother to eat.
One day, Guanzhong and a group of children went to Fengshan to collect firewood. Finding a big tree with many dead branches, Guanzhong said to his companion, "I'm going to climb that big tree and break those dead branches." Several naughty children saw that the tree was very high, with no branches, and it was difficult to climb, so they bet, "Guanzhong, you can really climb. All the firewood we picked up today will be sent to your house! " "It's true!" Guo Zhongfu, like a monkey, soon climbed to the middle of the tree, and there happened to be a thick "banana vine" wrapped around the branches, intertwined like a tree top. Guanzhong is resting on a cane chair. Maybe it's time for him to become a god. He said to the children under the tree, "Please help me collect firewood. Tell my mother to get a book quickly. " Children listen to "pigs with Yi nationality" (Minnan dialect, "Niu" sound gú, "Xian" sound Bú; "Book" sounds zi, "pig" sounds di), I don't know what it means, so I went to Guo's house with firewood and told his mother, "Your son wants you to take Yi pig down that big tree in Fengshan." Guo's mother knows that her son is always real, and there must be a reason for what she ordered. So he drove the pig and pulled the cow to Fengshan. The cow was obedient, but the pig ran around and struggled for a long time before getting under the big tree.
When Guo's mother found her son, she saw his face flushed and his eyes vacant. He has been sitting on the Gu Teng, silent. Seeing this, Guo's mother burst into tears. She walked up to him and saw Zhong Fu's head hanging down and his feet were thick, so she reached out and pulled his feet down. Therefore, the Buddha statue of Guo Ziyu Wang Sheng is a one-legged plate with one foot hanging down. She thought, "This is my son's life!" Then he straightened his head, looked straight ahead and ordered, "You big mouth, eat everywhere. The bigger the eyes, the farther you can see! " Therefore, he sculpted his idol into a round eye and a wide mouth. There is a saying that "the gods in the temple benefit the outside world".
This year, Guo Zhongfu was sixteen years old, and it was August 22nd of the lunar calendar in the third year of Tianfu at the end of Jin Dynasty (AD 938).
The villagers cherish their filial piety and pity their sorrow. Everyone donated money and built a shrine in Zuohua to commemorate it. It is called "Guo Shan Temple". When he became a god, he was called Guo. Neighboring villagers are vying for the miracle of Guo Xiaozi's incarnation, and the villagers have gone to worship, which is very effective, so the incense is very prosperous and responsive. It is said that he once used ghosts and gods to drive away bandits, and his followers worshipped him as a general, also known as the "General Temple". In the fourth year of Jianyan in the Southern Song Dynasty (1 130), the temple was given the title of "truthfulness", in the first year of Ning (1 195 ~ 1200), Guangze respected the king, and in the Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty since the Song Dynasty (/kloc-0)
When Quanzhou people crossed the sea to Taiwan Province Province, they packed Kwanzaa King in a small box and took him with them as a patron saint. They believe that King Kwanzaa is committed to protecting foreigners. Up to now, Taiwan Province Province is full of immigrants, and every family has to worship the statue of King Kwanzaa in the box to show their respect. There are more than 30 temples in Guangze Wang Zun in Taiwan Province Province, especially Xiluo Temple and Yonghua Palace in Tainan City, which are quite large in Zhen Fu Palace in Taoyuan City in the north. Guangze Wang Zun Temple, also known as Fengshan Temple, inherited the name of Fengshan Ancient Temple dedicated to Guangze Wang Zun by Nan 'an people in Quanzhou, Fujian.
