Yinyang Temple, Taoist temple in FuXing Village, Taiwan
Yinyang Temple is a Taoist shrine in FuXing Village with multiple halls and pavilions dedicated to the deity Yinyanggong. The spaces are decorated with traditional ornaments and display classical Chinese architecture featuring elaborate details throughout.
The temple was built in 1827 during the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty and served as a central gathering place for the local community. Over the centuries it has maintained its role as a spiritual center and underwent repairs to preserve its structure.
Local devotees gather here throughout the year to honor Yinyanggong during seasonal ceremonies and festivals. The daily offerings and incense show how the spiritual practice remains active in the community.
Visitors can enter the shrine during daylight hours to observe or participate in prayer and contemplation. It is helpful to remain respectful and avoid interrupting worshippers, especially during offering rituals or ceremonies.
A distinctive feature is the statue of Yinyanggong with a divided face that represents his connection to both earthly and spiritual realms. This artistic representation is rarely seen and shows the deep philosophical meaning of the deity in Taoist teaching.
