It
was
the
Guandi

early
days
of

The

in
the
middle
of

of
the
management
committee
of

After
many
renovations,
the
existing
temple
looks
like
a
temple
rebuilt
in
1840,
except
that
the
Guanyin
Hall
inside
is
slightly
different
from
its
original
appearance.
The

features
a
three-bay,
three-entry,
two-corridor-style
temple
building

The
front
faces
Yongfu
Road
and
Minzu
Road
to
the
north.
The
vermilion
gable
stands
beside
the
road
on
the
left.
The
slope
of
the
house
changes
from
front
to
back
according
to
the
height
of
the
halls.
Due
to
the
different
heights
of
the
halls,
the
gables
with
slanted
eaves
are
viewed
from
the
side.
It
is
undulating,
and
the
shape
is
quite
beautiful.
The
front
hall
and
the
apse
are
swallow-tailed
ridges
and
hard
mountain
roofs,
while
the
main
hall
adopts
a
curved
and
soft
double-eave
Xieshan
roof.
Not
only
is
the
palace
majestic,
but
the
large
wooden
structure
is
also
known
for
its
majesty.
There
are
worship
halls
behind
the
front
hall
and
in
front
of
the
main
hall,
especially
the
horseback
Xieshan
worship
hall
in
front
of
the
main
hall,
which
has
the
most
distinctive
shape.
On
the
right
side
of
the
back
hall,
there
is
the
Guanyin
Hall
facing
east,
and
the
"West
She"
facing
the
north,
dedicated
to
the
Wuwenchang
Emperor,
the
Yuelao
Temple
and
the
Taisui
Hall
facing
the
south,
and
the
Liuhetang
and
Yanping
Poetry
Society.
In
terms
of
the
configuration
of
the
gods,
the
Wu
Temple
with
three
entrances
and
three
halls,
the
first
entrance
is
to
worship
Guan
Gong;
the
second
entrance
is
to
worship
the
three
generations
of
ancestors
of
Wusheng
(added
after
the
1720s),
and
the
third
entrance
is
the
Buddhist
Guanyin
Bodhisattva
and
the
eighteen
arhats.
In
addition,
there
are
Xishe
to
worship
Emperor
Wenchang,
a
small
garden
with
wing
rooms,
and
other
buildings
such
as
a
stage
added
during
the
Japanese
Occupation
in
Taiwan.
The
ceremonial
martial
arts
temple
has
a
solemn
layout,
and
its
special
religious
atmosphere
is
shocked
by
entering
the
inner
space.
Its
rising
terrain
reached
its
highest
point
in
the
main
hall.
The
towering
hall
is
designed
by
a
skilled
craftsman,
and
the
light
shines
through
the
high
windows
specially
taken
between
the
double
eaves.
It
directly
shines
on
the
face
of
Emperor
Guan.
It
is
radiant
and
mysterious.
In
addition,
the
incense
and
smoke
of
the
worship
are
intertwined,
which
is
quite
beyond
the
heavens.
The
realm
of
unity.

祀典武廟
位於臺灣臺南市中西區，爲主祀關聖帝君的廟宇，中華民國國定古蹟
祀典武廟（大關帝廟）位於中華民國臺南市中西區，主要奉祀關聖帝君。其為臺灣省早期建造的關帝廟，該道教廟宇為17世紀中，永曆十九年（西元1665年）鄭成功子鄭經於承天府－今之臺南市建四大廟，文廟即今日之孔子廟，於赤崁樓之南建關帝廟，即今日之祀典武廟。（關帝廳）擴建而成。據祀典武廟管理委員會文獻記載，係於西元1665年官建。
經多次整修後，現存廟宇除了內進的觀音廳稍與原來模樣不同之外，該廟大致所呈現為1840年重建後的廟宇模樣。坐北朝南的祀典武廟，特色為八公尺寬，廿公尺寬，縱深式配置的三開間三進兩廊式廟宇建築。正面面向永福路、北倚民族路、左側朱色山牆矗立路旁，屋坡由前而後，依各殿的高度呈現起伏的變化，由於各殿的高度不一，飛簷斜頂的山牆，從側面看去為起伏狀，造型頗為美觀。
前殿及後殿為燕尾翹脊、硬山屋頂，正殿則採用曲線柔美的重簷歇山屋頂，不僅殿宇氣勢巍峨，大木結構也以雄渾見稱。
前殿後及正殿前均有拜殿，尤其是正殿前的馬背歇山拜殿，造型最具有特色。後殿右側有東向的觀音殿，及北向「西社」供奉五文昌帝君、南向的月老祠、太歲殿，後為六和堂及延平詩社。
而在神明配置上，擁有三進三殿的該武廟，第一進祭祀關公；第二進為祭祀武聖三代祖先（1720年代後加設），第三進則為佛教的觀音菩薩與十八羅漢。除此，後進有祭祀文昌帝君的西社與配置廂房的小花園，並有台灣日治時期所加設的戲台等建物。
祀典武廟格局莊嚴，走入內部空間即為其特殊之宗教氛圍所震攝。其層層上升的地勢，在正殿達到最高點。高聳的殿宇在巧匠的設計下，光線由重簷間特攝的高窗射入，直照關帝尊容，光輝而神秘，加上祭拜時之焚香菸霧交織，頗有超越天人合一之境界。
