Dongwen Wenji Temple, Chinese temple in Dongwen Village, Taiwan

The stone and wood structure features traditional architectural elements with curved roofs, detailed carvings, and ceremonial halls for religious practices.

Established in 1906, the temple stands as a testament to early 20th-century religious development in rural Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period.

The temple honors Shen Guangwen, who initiated Han Chinese literary education in Taiwan after arriving in 1652 as a scholar and educator.

The temple remains open for daily worship activities and welcomes visitors interested in exploring religious customs and architectural traditions.

The temple maintains a collection of texts and artifacts documenting the educational influence of Shen Guangwen on Taiwanese literary development.
