This temple was founded from a temple within the former "Ba Zai Gang" area, originally named "Tong Shan Temple", dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva. In the 17th year of the Republic of China (1928), local devotee Huang A-hai, due to his practice of calligraphy and spirit-writing to channel deities, added Guan Sheng Di Jun, Fu You Di Jun, and Si Ming Zhen Jun, the three revered lords, to the worship at Tong Shan Temple. Mr. Huang then began channeling deities at the temple to aid sentient beings. Over time, it gradually became a place where local believers sought answers to their questions and remedies for illnesses, with prayers always answered and miracles abounding. In the 24th year of the Republic of China (1935), Tong Shan Temple was unfortunately destroyed in a major earthquake in Taiwan. At this time, the villagers, facing natural disaster and unable to care for themselves, feared that the deities would have nowhere to reside. They temporarily enshrined the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva in a makeshift tent, while respectfully inviting the three deities, including Guan Sheng Di Jun, to be enshrined in Huang A-hai's private residence to continue their mission of aiding the world. From then on, the three deities resided permanently at the Huang residence, establishing a separate spirit-writing hall, displaying their divine power to protect the local community. Guan Sheng Di Jun personally chose the hall's name as "Ji Shi" (meaning "aid the world"), to highlight the hall's primary mission of aiding the world and bringing peace, dispelling calamities, and resolving misfortunes.
