The Temple’s Roof and Sacred Foundations
In addition to the installation of the main beams, the temple’s foundation is supported by a “Di Long”, a structure built from hollow stone columns extending from the temple’s ground floor. These columns are filled with earth from the sacred land, reaching up to the first-floor altar at the center of Zhang Gong Sheng Jun’s throne.
On both sides of the main beams, there are columns dedicated to “Jin Men Su Zhen Ren” and “Yin Tang Liu Yuan Shuai”, honoring these divine figures.
The base of the altar features a Bagua symbol, and within the earth, various sacred items have been buried—gold, silver, copper, iron, tin, as well as relics from the ancient temple furnace, rare black gold imperial wood, and black jade.

The Di Long is connected to the altar, symbolizing a powerful spiritual bond: “Nine treasures shine, illuminating the heavens and earth, the imperial wood radiates glory, the divine dragon and black jade conceal a blessed land, guarding the earth, protecting the nation, and blessing the people for generations to come, with eternal incense burning for millennia.”
Five Battalion Headquarters
Our temple was the first in the region to establish the “Five Battalion Headquarters”. These heavenly soldiers and generals originate from five directions East, South, West, North, and Center, each representing a different battalion of divine troops.
The “Five Battalion Headquarters” was empowered with an invisible force to support and enhance the divine powers of the deities.
Da Shen Jia
The Da Shen Jia troupe will be seen during temple fairs, deity birthdays, and processions, offering protection to the devotees and driving away evil spirits, ensuring peace and prosperity.
