    (Translated by Google) Kaijiwu Temple is dedicated to Emperor Wenheng (Guan Yu). The front hall of the temple (the original main hall) was announced as a municipal historic site in Tainan, and the registered name is the original main hall of Kaiji Wu Temple. The specially made "Guan" character tile and the "Kaiji Wu Temple" drip film show how much it is cherished in modern times. It was first built in the Ming and Zheng Dynasties. In the 16th year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty (1662 AD), Zheng Chenggong's Ministry invited two statues of Guan Sheng Emperor from Tonghuai Guanyue Temple in Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province to come to Taiwan. Three years (AD 1669) in front of the port of Xidingfang, Chengtianfu, a grass hut was built to enshrine the statue. Later, due to the increasing number of worshippers, funds were raised to build a temple at the current site, which became the first Guandi Temple built in Taiwan. It is called "Kaiji Wu Temple". It is the same as the later Sidian Wu Temple, but the area is smaller, so the place of worship is low, so the residents call this temple "Xiao Guandi Temple". The plaques and other cultural relics preserved in the Kaiji Wu Temple are also quite rich. The inscription on the gold donated by the gentlemen of the suburban shop in the local area". The oldest surviving cultural relics are the "Hengwen Tianque" plaque presented by the followers of the Wu Temple in the 41st year of Qianlong (1776 AD) in the Qing Dynasty, and the "Xingdao" plaque in the 11th year of Jiaqing (1806 AD) in the Qing Dynasty. AD 1876) "Lirenji" plaque and other ancient (Original) 開基武廟主祀供奉文衡聖帝(關羽)。該廟的前殿(原本的正殿)被公告為臺南的直轄市市定古蹟,登錄名稱為開基武廟原正殿;特製的「關」字瓦當、「開基武廟」滴水片顯示現代對其珍重之程度。 初建於明鄭時期,明永曆十六年(西元1662年)當時鄭成功部將自福建省泉州府晉江縣的通淮關岳廟奉請二個關聖帝君神像來臺,民間在永曆二十三年(西元1669年)在承天府西定坊的港口前,搭蓋草寮來供奉神像,隨後因參拜者日益增多而而集資在現址建廟,成為全台灣首座興建的關帝廟,故名為「開基武廟」,與後來的祀典武廟同樣祭祀關公但且面積較小,因此民祀位低,使得居民都稱此廟為「小關帝廟」。 開基武廟所留存的匾額等文物也頗為豐富門前方型石柱刻著~清嘉慶23年(西元1818年)的,同年石碑「重興開基武廟臺郡郊舖紳士捐金碑記」、「重興開基武廟本境郊舖紳士捐金碑記」。現存最古之文物則是清乾隆41年(西元1776年)由武廟信徒所獻之「衡文天闕」匾,以及清嘉慶11年(西元1806年)的「行大道」匾,光緒2年(西元1876年)的「立人極」匾等古

    According to the "Chronicles of Kaiji Wu Temple", Kaiji Wu Temple is located in Guandigang, inside the west gate of the city of Taiwan. It is believed to have been built during the Ming and Zheng Dynasties. In the 16th year of Yongli in the Ming Dynasty (1662 AD), Zheng Chenggong's troops came from Fujian Province. The Tonghuai Guanyue Temple in Jinjiang County, Quanzhou Prefecture, invited two statues of the Guan Sheng Emperor to Taiwan. In the 23rd year of Yongli reign (1669 AD), people built a thatched cottage in front of the port in Xidingfang, Chengtian Prefecture to worship the statues. Later, due to the increasing number of worshipers, funds were raised to build a temple on the original site. It became the first Guandi temple built in Taiwan, so it was named "Kaijiwu Temple". And because this temple, like the later Dianwu Temple, also worships Guan Gong, but is smaller in area and has a lower worship status, the residents call this temple the "Little Guandi Temple". Not only is the temple smaller in area than the Dianwu Temple, but it was also built and managed by the private sector before the 19th century, so it is not as well maintained as the Dianwu Temple. In the first year of Showa (1926 AD), civilians adjusted the Kaijiwu Temple according to the original architectural style. However, during the Second World War in 1945, the temple was almost completely destroyed by Allied bombing, and the roof was burned until the 36th year of the Republic of China. (1947 AD) It was renovated at the original site after raising funds from local gentry. Although it went through several renovations afterwards, especially in the 63rd year of the Republic of China (1974 AD), the back hall was demolished during the reconstruction project due to serious leaks in the roof of the main hall, but the main hall part can still vaguely see the former style. ) The new main hall was completed, and some of the statues originally enshrined in the main hall were moved to the main hall for worship. In addition, after many renovations, only the original Sanchuan Gate and the main hall remained. Therefore, the Ministry of the Interior designated the building as a historic site in 1985. At that time, the registered name was "Original Main Hall of Kaijiwu Temple".

    (Translated by Google) Kaiji Wu Temple, Kaiji Wu Temple is located in the center of Tainan. It was established in the early Ming Dynasty and Yongli. It was the first Guandi Temple built in Taiwan. The old Tainan people called it Guandi Harbor. During World War II, it was attacked by Zhu Rong again, and the only remaining ancient buildings left the original main hall, so the name of the registered monument is the original main hall of Kaiji Wu Temple. According to legend, the opening of the Jiwu Temple was originally when Zheng Chenggong’s ministry invited the statue to Taiwan from the mainland, and people worshipped at the original site. It has been expanded to this day. There are stone tablets and thought-provoking plaques handed down from the Qing Dynasty in the temple, especially the couplet in front of the shrine to persuade people to be kind. The implication is that it illustrates the history of the temple. There are neat and huge door nails on its gate, which is learned. Normally, it can only be owned by temples that enshrine ceremonies. It is different from ordinary temples that can only paint door gods. In front of the eaves of Sanchuan Temple, there is a rare Hanfan carrying the corner of the house. , is the evidence of old buildings. Located in the Central and Western District of Tainan City, Taiwan, it is a temple dedicated to Emperor Wen Heng (Guan Yu). The front hall (original main hall) of the temple was announced as a municipal monument in Tainan, and the registered name is the original main hall of Kaiji Wu Temple. (Original) 開基武廟,開基武廟位於臺南市中心,建立於明永曆初期,是全臺灣第一座興建的關帝廟,老臺南人稱此為關帝港;因年代久遠又不像祀典武廟一樣維護得宜,且在二戰期間又遭到祝融侵襲,現存下來的古建築只剩原來正殿,故登記古蹟名稱為開基武廟原正殿。 相傳開基武廟起初為鄭成功部將自大陸將神像請來臺灣,在原址讓人供奉,一直擴展至今,廟內留有清代流傳下來的石碑及發人深省的牌匾,尤其神龕前的對聯勸人為善的寓意,在在說明了廟宇的歷史。 其大門上有著整齊的巨大門釘,這是有學問的,正常是奉旨祭典的廟宇才能擁有,不同於一般的廟宇只能彩繪門神;還有三川殿簷前還有少見的憨番扛屋角,是舊時建築留下來的證據。 位於臺灣臺南市中西區,是一間供奉文衡聖帝(關羽)的廟宇。該廟的前殿(原本的正殿)被公告為臺南的直轄市市定古蹟,登錄名稱為開基武廟原正殿。

    (Translated by Google) It is divided into a front hall and a back hall. The front hall is dedicated to the Holy Emperor Fengguan and the Sanguan Great Emperor; the rear hall is dedicated to the Holy Emperor of Fengguan, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the God of Fude. Kean Tai Sui (Original) 分為前殿與後殿,前殿供俸關聖帝君與三官大帝;後殿供俸關聖帝君,觀世音菩薩與福德正神,為百年老廟,香火鼎盛,有光明燈可點或可安太歲

    Leave "incense" on your hands: Pilgrims and Bodhisattvas can communicate with each other without any hindrance, and everyone is very happy: Today is the first day of November. Zhuan Cheng and my husband went to worship Guan Sheng Emperor and Guanyin Bodhisattva. Due to my predestined relationship with Guan Gong, I received many guidance from him on my studies and career path. It was quite effective and I am grateful. In addition to worshiping the West in the morning and evening at home, In addition to the Three Saints, the Dharma protector Guan Gong Bodhisattva is also enshrined. Due to my busy business and private life, I took the time to go to the temple today to worship, burn incense and inquire about it, and respectfully put the incense into the stove. Just when I told where I came from, within a few seconds, I found that I was in the stove together with six incense sticks. , the seven sticks of incense had been quickly removed. My husband and I were quite puzzled and confused. Usually the incense must be halfway burned before it can be taken away. In just a moment, the communication between me and Emperor Guan Sheng was deprived. Isn’t that super disrespectful? I suddenly felt terrible! I pray that the members of the temple management committee will carefully discuss and review it. Even if you are young and disrespectful to God, there is no need to be so arrogant and short-sighted? No wonder I heard that there are fewer and fewer pilgrims?
