Incense from Nankunshen
Nankunshen Daitian Temple in Beimen, Tainan enshrines the Five Lords — Li, Chi, Wu, Zhu and Fan — and is one of the most important ancestral temples of the Wangye faith in Taiwan, with branch temples all over the island. This temple carries its incense, founded in Niaosong, Kaohsiung, and enshrines the Five Lords.
Founded in 2021
The temple was formally established on the twentieth day of the third lunar month in 2021 under the name Niaosong Dai Xun Fu. "Dai Xun" is short for "touring the realm on Heaven's behalf" — commissioned by the Jade Emperor to inspect the human world in the emperor's stead, driving off plague, restraining baleful forces, rewarding good and punishing wrong. This is the heart of the Wangye faith.
Guarding the land and its people
The temple is modest in size and sincerity comes first. Consultation days are held, at which Lord Wu, the Third Lord, descends to help those who come with their troubles; rituals follow the seasons, the most solemn being the Zhongyuan Pudu and ancestral deliverance held in the seventh lunar month. Visitors from anywhere are welcome to offer incense.
