Xing'an Temple. Xing'an Temple, commonly known as "Xinghua Mazu Temple," is one of the earliest Mazu temples in Lukang. Xing'an Temple, commonly known as "Xinghua Mazu Temple," is one of the earliest Mazu temples in Lukang. In the 23rd year of the Kangxi reign (1684 AD), immigrants from Xinghua Prefecture in Fujian Province brought Mazu incense and fire to Taiwan. They built a temple in the Caozi City area of Lukang, naming it "Xing'an Temple," signifying "Xinghua's peace" and "Xinghua's tranquility." Xing'an Temple is one of Lukang's "community temples." A "community temple" refers to a temple jointly built by immigrants from a specific region in their homeland when they migrated to Taiwan, also serving the function of a "hometown association hall." In its early days, Xing'an Temple was a place of worship for people from Xinghua, thus attracting limited crowds. As a result, the temple was not rebuilt and its original layout was preserved. On November 8, 1848 AD, the 28th year of the Daoguang reign, an earthquake occurred in Changhua, causing damage to Xing'an Temple. In the 2nd year of the Xianfeng reign (1852 AD), nine directors, including Xu Xilin, Zhou Wenquan, Su Daisheng, and Xiao Rixin, all from Xinghua, initiated a reconstruction. This reconstruction laid the foundation for the temple's current appearance and layout.
