Founded
in
the
Ming
and
Yongli
years,
it
was
originally
called
"Puji
Temple".
It
is
said
that
Zhu
Shugui,
king
of
Ningjing
in
the
Southern
Ming
Dynasty,
often
visits
the
temple,
so
he
named
it
"Puji
Temple."
The
main
hall
is
located
in
the
northwest
of
Fucheng,
near
the
Wutiaogang
area.
Since
ancient
times,
there
has
been
a
gathering
of
business
travelers
and
people.
It
is
rumored
that
the
streets
in
the
old
days
of
Japan
extend
in
all
directions,
appearing
in
the
shape
of
a
"gossip
web".
The
main
hall
is
located
in
the
center
of
the
gossip,
which
is
a
"spider
netting
hole".
The
topography
of
Tainan
Fucheng
is
exactly
like
the
shape
of
a
phoenix
flying
northward.
The
gossip
net
with
the
main
hall
as
the
center
happened
to
catch
the
head
of
the
phoenix,
preventing
it
from
spreading
its
wings,
and
the
city
flourished.
However,
in
recent
years,
with
the
widening
and
reconstruction
of
roadways,
it
has
lost
its
original
street
appearance.
After
the
death
of
the
Nanming
Dynasty,
the
first
reconstruction
was
completed
in
the
25th
year
of
Kangxi
(1686).
The
direction
was
changed
to
sit
north
and
face
south.
In
the
eleventh
year
of
Qianlong
(1746),
Shi
Wenyao
and
others
initiated
the
reconstruction.
In
the
22nd
year
of
Jiaqing,
Ding
Chou
(1817)
Shi
Kezhan
and
others
initiated
a
rebuild
again.
At
that
time,
the
abbot
Zen
Master
Neilian
paid
for
the
land
on
the
right
side
of
the
main
hall
to
cover
the
side
hall,
which
was
completed
in
the
24th
year
of
Jiaqing
(1819).
Lay
down
the
basic
scale
of
the
main
hall
and
one
side
hall.
After
that,
it
was
rebuilt
several
times
in
the
fifth
year
of
Xianfeng
(1855),
the
fourth
year
of
Tongzhi
(1865),
the
9th
year
of
Guangxu
(1883),
the
32nd
year
of
Meizhi
(1899),
and
the
12th
year
of
Taisho
(1923).
At
the
end
of
the
Japanese
Occupation,
the
Allied
forces
bombed
the
temple
and
the
worship
pavilion
in
front
of
the
temple
was
destroyed.
After
the
Liberation
of
the
Republic
of
China
in
34
years,
it
was
rebuilt
after
discussion
in
mid-October
of
that
year.
It
was
rebuilt
again
in
1974.
In
1993,
the
Buddha
Hall
was
rebuilt
and
rebuilt
as
a
southern
and
northern
building.
The
popularity
of
Puji
Temple
in
recent
years
has
its
origins
in
the
"Puji
Lantern
Festival"
where
the
colorful
lanterns
created
by
the
general
public
were
held
for
the
first
time
during
the
Spring
Festival
in
2014.
Thousands
of
lanterns
were
neatly
hung
on
the
temple.
It
even
extends
to
the
surrounding
Guohua
Street,
which
surprises
many
passing
tourists
and
people.
During
the
Spring
Festival,
the
lanterns
glowed
warmly
in
the
night,
which
made
people
feel
the
warmth
of
the
New
Year
reunion,
which
was
highly
praised.

創建於明永曆年間,原稱「普濟廟」,為坐南朝北之單殿式建築。傳聞南明寧靖王朱術桂經常遊憩本廟,故而賜名為「普濟殿」。本殿座落於府城西北,臨近五條港地區,自古以來商旅雲集、人文薈萃。盛傳昔日本地區街道四通八達,呈現為「八卦網」狀,本殿正座落於八卦中心,為「蜘蛛結網穴」。台南府城在地形上,恰好有如鳳凰向北飛騰之形狀。以本殿為中心之八卦網,正好網住鳳凰頭部,使其不得展翅去,府城因此得以興盛繁榮。然而近年隨著巷道拓寬、改建,已經失去其原有之街道樣貌了。
南明亡後,康熙二十五年(1686)初次重建落成,方向改為坐北朝南,乾隆十一年(1746)石文耀等人曾發起重修。嘉慶二十二年歲次丁丑(1817)石克纘等人再度發起重修,當時住持僧邇蓮禪師出錢購得本殿右側土地加蓋偏殿,於嘉慶二十四年(1819)落成,奠定本殿往後之一本殿一偏殿的基本規模。此後又於咸豐五年(1855)、同治四年(1865)、光緒九年(1883)、日明治三十二年(1899)、大正十二年(1923)數度重修。日治末期盟軍轟炸,廟前拜亭損毀,民國三十四年光復後,於當年十月中旬經過商議再次發起重修。民國六十三年(1974)又再度重修,民國九十三年重修並重建佛祖廳為座南朝北建築,是為現貌。
最近幾年普濟殿的聲名大噪,起源於西元2014年春節期間首次舉辦由廣大民眾創作的彩繪花燈的「普濟燈會」,將成千上百個燈籠整齊懸掛於廣大廟埕上的,甚至延伸到周邊國華街上,讓許多路過的遊客及民眾驚喜不已。在春節期間,燈籠在夜色中亮著溫暖的光芒,讓人感到年節團聚的溫暖,大受好評。
