Description of Our Community: Wen Chung Temple is located on 20, Bi-Chung St., Hsing-Chuang City., Taipei County, Tawian. The temple closes to Da-Han Brook and the Sin-Hi Bridge, which is the main traffic connection between Panchiou City and Hsing-Chuang City. In Ching Dynasty, about the time of the ninth year of the Emperor Yung-Chung, the local people rebuilt the temple to become Tsu-Yo Temple and Wen Chung was one of gods whorshipped in the temple. In the eighteenth year of Emperor Cha-Ching of Ching Dynasty, Mon-Chua Province built the Wen Chung Temple on the right side of the Tsu-Yo Temple. From then on, Wen Chung was worshipped alone. Through Ching Dynasty, Japanese occupation to Taiwan’s restoration, in 1991, Chou-Ling Lin and Saint-Chu Lin dreamed of Wen Chung’s direction for building the temple on the location nowadays. In 1995, The temple was finally completed its structure. Today, Wen Chung Temple has become an important historical landmark in the city and it is a place for students to visit when the season of Examination is coming.
Project Description: “Examination” is a big event concerned by every student, by parents and even by everyone. In ancient time, students mostly would go to visit temples and worshipped the god of the temple in order to pass the exam and gained the fame and the profits. Nowadays, in such a society filled with radical competition, only by passing the “examination” can students acquire ideal department in the university and the stable high-salary job. Thus, students cannot help but to ask the blessing of gods to settle down their nervous emotion and their “Luck of Exam”. Wen-Chung, The God of Examination, symbolizes the “Guard” for those join the examinations from ancient time till now. He raises our team group's interest to report more detail from the bottom of our heart and respect about the god by way of understanding and reporting him.
