brief introduction

Located in dahuge, Yongding village, shiding Township, Taipei County, shiding girl temple is built close to the mountains and surrounded by rolling mountains.

Detailed introduction

It is said that she was a girl named Wei Bian who died before she got married. The local people built a temple for her and worshiped Miss Wei in the main hall. Later, a man named Zeng GUI had a foot disease for no reason after he bought the land. So he asked for divination and learned that Miss Wei Bian was lonely because there was no one to worship. He hoped Zeng GUI could pick up bones for her. After Zeng GUI built a temple for her, her foot disease was cured without any medicine.

Since then, pilgrims have come to pray for worship, which is said to be quite effective. Therefore, the incense is very popular. Many families have sent the memorial tablets of their unmarried daughter here. Now Piantang has served more than 100 memorial tablets. Therefore, the local people also call it "girl Temple", and the mountain behind the temple is named after the temple, commonly known as "girl mountain".

The construction mode of girl Temple

The girl temple is a two-story building with hard eaves. The upper layer is the temple and the lower layer is the living quarters of the administrator. Pilgrims can walk up the stone steps beside the temple and enter the worship Pavilion. The table is full of flowers and jewels, as well as the girl's Rouge pollen, which is very different from ordinary temples. Main hall: the gold body of Wei Bian Xiangu, the God of worship, is decorated with xiapi, and the pearls and gold medals presented by the believers are on the chest. On the beams and columns is a couplet of Su Qingbo, the former Taipei county magistrate, who expressed his gratitude for the blessing of Xiangu Lingyou in 1972. The couplet of "Gu has no spouse, but the temple has traces of incense, smoke and fragrance for thousands of years" was built in Renzi year. The banner is a stone plaque of "Gu Lingxian Temple".
