What travelers say:

"Revered by the world, so far Weizhen Huaxia" many Taiwanese believers come to Fujian Dongshan Island Guandi Temple every year, the news often on the CCTV "strait". Speaking of Dongshan Guandi Temple, it is called the four major Guandi Temples in China, with Shanxi Yuncheng Guandi Temple, Henan Luoyang Guandi Temple and Hubei Dangyang Guandi Temple. According to historical records: Dongshan Guandi Temple is the ancestor temple of many Guandi Temples in Taiwan, which has a long history of relations, and Dongshan has a Guandi faith very early. In the second year of Tang Chuigong (686 AD), Tang generals Chen Zheng, Chen Yuanguang and son led 87 surnames to explore southern Anhui, of which 64 surnames were built and stationed on Dongshan Island. In order to appease the generals, Guan Shengdijun was attracted from his hometown. Twenty years after Ming Hongwu (1387 AD), Jiang Xiahou Zhou Dexing led troops to Dongshan to build a water village to prevent the flood, and Dingjian Guangong. During the Ming Jiajing period, the court re-established the Wuhu inspection department, and the incense of Dongshan Guandi Temple was passed into Wuhu. Qing Kangxi three years (1664), Mingning Jing Wang Zhu Shugui imitated Dongshan Guandi Temple in Tainan Wangfu, which is the "lead boss" of the Guandi Palace Temple in Taiwan. Today, a Guangxu year in the temple of Dongshan Guandi Temple, the big incense stove of the blood stone carving of the two-ear beast head chicken blood stone carving of the ancestors from Yilan Jiaoxi, Taiwan, is still incense. In 1988, the "Zhouyuan Yuanzu" gift from Kaohsiung Wenheng Hall in Taiwan is also high above the temple. Therefore, Dongshan Guandi Temple is the Xiangyuan Ancestral Temple of nearly 1,000 Guandi Temples in Taiwan. The temple gate of Guandi Temple is a archway-style peak, with exquisite sculptures of shuanglong opera beads on the roof, uniquely decorated with southern Anhui characteristics of the immortal animals, flowers and grass clouds, and porcelain carvings on the eaves, which is dizzying. Eight huge stone pillars support the huge gate building, this gate court built by the Qing Dynasty Prince Taibao Wang Dexuan, also named "Prince Pavilion". In the hall of the golden Guangxuan, is the shrine surrounded by green, "Guan Shengdijun" sitting in the town, on both sides of the Zhoucang, Guan Ping carrying the Qinglong Yuyue knife, the top is the Qing Dynasty Xianfeng emperor's royal pen gold book "all the world's extremes." In Dongshan, almost everyone believes in Guandi, calling it the Holy Father of Guandi. An ancestor indicates Guandi's status in the family, and it is more important to see Guandi than his ancestors. Usually worship is to ask early for instructions and report late. If you encounter some problems that cannot be solved, you will ask Guandi's meaning first. The temple of Guandi is a masterpiece of mankind, representing the worship of the great personality of Guan Gong. His loyalty, righteousness and courage were honored by the three Confucianisms, and he was both a Confucian saint and a Buddhist protector of the law and the emperor of Taoism. It is worshipped by three religions in a mortal body, and only this person is the only one. Since 1991, Dongshan Island has held a Guandi Cultural Tourism Festival every year. On January 6, 1995, Dongshan Guandi Temple went to Taiwan to detour, the first case of the mainland gods visiting Taiwan, and opened the first religious direct flight after more than 40 years of separation between the two sides, which was of great significance. Guandi culture has become a link to communicate the hearts of people on both sides of the Straits, so come to Dongshan Island, not only to see the wind-moving stone, the Guandi Temple in the scenic area is more worth a visit.
