During the Yong Zheng Emperor period of the Ching Dynasty, local residents in the Lai-Cuo area invited the incense of Pao-Shen Emperor from Fu-Hsin-Tien Temple in Chang Jou, China and worshipped it at the Lai-Tsuo Village. Subsequently, some seventeen villages and towns including, Lai-Tsuo, Gan-Go-Tzai, Tien-Hsin-Tzai, Li-Tou-Dian, Tu-Ku, Ma-Yaun-Tou, Hou-Long-Tzai, Tung-Da-Duan, Chiu-Tsuo-Tzai, San-Shih-Chang-Li, Sui-Jin-Tou, Jin-Kong-Liao, Jou-She, San-Fen-Pu, Erh-Fen-Pu and Sui-Nan built a temple to worship the statute of San-Kuan Emperor and Pao-Shen Emperor. The construction of the temple was completed in the winter of 1791 during the Chien Lung Emperor period and was named "Yuan Pao Temple" (commonly referred to as the "Da Dao Kong Temple".) |
