Three buildings of Wu Temple, Wenchang Temple, and Wen Kai Academy line up and connect together. In the 4th year of Emperor Daoguang in Qing Dynasty (1824), Lukang Coast Defense Officer Chuan-an Deng suggested to build the academy and received response from Lukang’s eight trade associations from Quan-Xia by making donations. Until the 7th year of Emperor Daoguang (1827), the construction was finished and given the name of “Wen Kai Academy” in the memory of Scholar Shen, Guang-Wen at the end of Ming Dynasty. Shen, Guang-Wen had an alternative name of “Wen-Kai.”
Lukang Wen Temple is Wenchang Temple; it is adjacent to Wen Kai Academy. In the 16th year of Emperor Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty (1811), Lukang Coast Defense Officer Xue, Zhi-Liang contributed his salary to build Wen Temple and Wu Temple. Local gentry Chen, Shi-Tao took charge of the building of Wenchang Temple and Su, Yun managed the building of Wu Temple.
Wenchang Temple enshrines Wuchang Dijun and Wu Temple enshrines Guan-Sheng-Dijun. Lukang scholars once formed “Ba-She” in Wenchang Temple, becoming the earliest free school and poem society in Lukang’s early periods.
