Feng Gong Temple in Tongan, Wang Zun, Jin Fu

Yesterday, cultural protection experts discovered the lacquer line carving of protecting the country and respecting the king in A Qing's period in Ganling Village, Xinmin Town, Tongan. The statue is made of all wood, solid and heavy, with a width of 0.36 meters and a height of 0.65 meters. The statue sits on his knees, his face is dark and strange, his eyes are wide, his beard is elegant, his palm rests on his knees, and his right hand holds a sword. It wears an armored shirt and is decorated with lacquer line carvings in different colors such as gold, red, green and black. The sculpture is amazing, the craft is fine, and the sculpture is basically well preserved. During the Cultural Revolution, a 40-year-old female villager in the village (now over 80 years old) hid the statue in a bag, disguised as carrying a child and secretly took it out and hid it at home, making it well preserved so far.

In addition, this statue also witnessed the historical origin of Fujian and Taiwan. According to the research of experts and scholars on both sides of Fujian and Taiwan, "protecting the country and respecting the king" was a famous soldier Zhang Xun who defended Suiyang for a year in the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty and died after the city was broken. After the Five Dynasties, his beliefs were introduced into southern Fujian with the migration of immigrants from the Central Plains. Therefore, in southern Fujian, the belief of "protecting the country and respecting the king" is spread all over the surname family. In the Qing Dynasty, descendants of Shao in Ganling moved to Taiwan Province Province and Taibei in large numbers, which also brought incense to protect the country and respect the king (Zhang Xun). Therefore, Taiwan Province compatriots come to worship every year.
