Jiali District Office, Tainan City

Lihua, Xinghua and Jiahua Village are together called Jiali Xing, and the word “li” was chosen from the Jiali Xing along with Hua to become the name of the village. It is situated in the North of Jiali District, having Yingding Village to its north, Jiahua Village to the east, Xinghua Village to the south and Jiangjun District to the west. The main highways here are Provincial Highway Tai 19 to Syuejia and the downtown of Jiali, County Highway South 24 to Jiangjun and Matou District. The famous agricultural products here are sugar cane, corn and rice. We have the temples of Zhen Xing Temple and Hehu jianjun Temple in the region. In them, Zhen Xing Temple is a Class III historical site, and containing the Ye Wang Koji Pottery, it is a famous travel destination and often a place people will visit on vacation. 

Founded in 1723, it was originally a place for immigrants from Anxi County who worshipped Qing Shui Zu Shi, and its name was changed to Zeng Xing Temple after the reconstruction. It is situated in Jialixing and is the location of the capital of Tienn-Hseng County, which was established in the Ming Cheng period. However, using the rationale of being near the coast and not being suitable for city building, the Ching government moved the troops to Zhuluo County (now called Chiayi). From then on, Jiali Xing no longer had the opportunity to be a military-political center. Tian-xing-xian-zhi(the capital of Tienn-Hseng County) Memorial in the temple square bears witness to this unusual time. 

Because not many temples collect Yewang Koji pottery, it is worth coming and seeing the wonderful Ye Wang Koji pottery collection.Other than the Yewang Koji pottery, in the temple, people can also see the door god painted by the Fu Cherng painter Tsao-Lu Tsai, ceramic fragments made by nationally treasured master Bao-yuan Wang, and wood carving pieces made by Chuang-Hua sculptor Ren Sheng Chen. All in all, they are the important pieces of work in the temple.
