Sanshan King Temple

Sanshan King Temple

Sanshan king is one of the most important religious beliefs in China. According to the records of Ming Fu Temple, the Sanshan king "originated in Sui Dynasty, showed his spirit in Tang Dynasty, and was granted in Song Dynasty". Up to now, it has a history of 1400 years. The Sanshan King ancestral temple in JieXi hEPO is the ancestor of more than 6000 Sanshan King temples at home and abroad. The god worshipped was Sanshan God at first, and was named Sanshan king after being granted. It is a local god created by the ancestors of eastern Guangdong. Its spirit of "protecting the country and protecting the people, and ensuring the peace of the country and the people" was respected by the people of the past dynasties, so the temple worship has lasted for thousands of years and flourished. Every year, countless local temple governing bodies, representatives of surrounding villages and people come to pay homage and pray. After thousands of years, a set of ancient and unique ceremonies have been formed. In 2007, the Sanshan King Festival was approved by the provincial government as the second batch of provincial intangible cultural heritage in Guangdong Province.

brief introduction

Sanshanzu temple is located in the area of Lintian capital of Jieyang County, Chaozhou Prefecture in history, so it used to be called Sanshan temple in Chaozhou, also known as Lintian ancient temple. Because Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty once conferred the title of "king of three mountains" and granted it to "Mingfu Temple", and later added the word "Guangling", it became "Mingfu Guangling Three Mountain King Temple", which is referred to as "King Temple of three mountains" and "King Temple" for short. The local people used to call it a big temple.

The actual history of Sanshan King's temple should be traced back to Sui Dynasty and has its origin with Liuqiu archipelago

Historical records of Chaozhou: in the third year of Daye of Sui Dynasty (607), Yang Guang sent Zhu Kuan, a Yuqi Wei, to sail for a visit.

Xu's Analects: Liuqiu Kingdom (Liuqiu Islands) is actually three kingdoms. Later on, the history of Ming Dynasty in China was described as Nanshan, Zhongshan and Beishan. In fact, these three kingdoms were formed and spread by natural geography (islands) long before Ming Dynasty and even before Sui Dynasty (not a real country, actually equivalent to Shanzhai), Many islands are called seamounts. There is a seamount town in Raoping, Chaozhou

A lot of legends or recorded history of Sanshan King Temple are consistent with the history described in the book. These thousands of Liuqiu residents who were captured by the Sui army and brought to Chaozhou with the army later lived with the Sui army in Chaozhou and guarded Chaozhou in the Sui Dynasty, Their descendants later spread all over Chaozhou, Taiwan, Southern Fujian and Southeast Asia. They also built the Sanshan King's temple where they lived. There are many legends about the assistance of the imperial court to the Sanshan King's temple in Chaozhou, which has something to do with the history of the Sui army's expedition to Liuqiu and later guarding Chaozhou

The number of Sanshan King's temples in Chaozhou is far more than what is recorded. Many small villages have Sanshan King's temples

In addition, there are many words and sounds similar in Chaozhou Dialect and Liuqiu dialect. This can be verified by some place names of Liuqiu dialect. For example, jiumishan (which is very close to guibieshan in Chaozhou Dialect, mountain means Island), so it is more logical to use guibieshan to analyze its place names

The Sanshan king temple is a branch of Chaozhou people whose ancestors came from Liuqiu in the Sui Dynasty to commemorate / worship their ancestors and history. The ancestors of this branch of Chaozhou people who worship the Sanshan king temple have a very close relationship with Liuqiu islands. In its language and vocabulary, although it has passed the exchange of history, time and culture, it still implies the origin with Liuqiu islands, We can still see some traces of Liuqiu. For example, the Boji God of Chaozhou (in Chinese culture, only Chaozhou has it), in which we can see very similar customs

There are other history, culture, language, customs, worship, we can see this origin. But no one has ever paid attention to it. There must be experts and scholars from various angles and disciplines to study it

Lukang in Changhua county is an ancient city developed in Taiwan's history. But do you know that Lukang has a lot to do with Hakkas. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, some Hakkas came to settle in Lukang. But later, because of the fighting between Zhangquan and Zhangquan, Hakkas had to leave Lukang. If they walked by, they would leave traces. The Sanshan king temple built at that time.

If you don't pay attention to it, you may think it's your home. It was built in 1737, the second year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in Qing Dynasty. It has a history of 272 years. It was originally built at the intersection of Zhongshan Road and Minquan road in Lukang, but it was demolished because of the redevelopment of the city during the Japanese rule,
