Wenwu Temple. During the Japanese colonial period, there were two temples on the shores of Sun Moon Lake: Longfeng Temple in Shuishe Village and Yihua Hall, originally in Bujhih Village (today's Riyue Village). Later, due to the Japanese construction of power generation projects, the water level of Sun Moon Lake rose, and both temples had to be relocated. During the Japanese colonial period, there were two temples on the shores of Sun Moon Lake: Longfeng Temple in Shuishe Village and Yihua Hall, originally in Bujhih Village (today's Riyue Village). Later, due to the Japanese construction of power generation projects, the water level of Sun Moon Lake rose, and both temples had to be relocated. The power company purchased the assets of the temples, and the temples used the proceeds to choose a new site and merge to build a new temple. In 1934, the temple was rebuilt at Songbolun on the northern shore of Sun Moon Lake, and the relocation was completed in 1938. In 1969, Wenwu Temple was rebuilt again into a grand and magnificent Chinese Northern Dynasties-style architecture. The temple is divided into three halls: the second floor of the front hall is Shuiyun Palace, dedicated to the founding ancestors and Wenchang Dijun; the middle hall, Wusheng Hall, is dedicated to Guansheng Dijun and Yue Wumu Wang; and the rear hall, Dacheng Hall, is dedicated to the Most Holy Teacher Confucius and others. Confucian, Buddhist, and Taoist deities all reside together. The Dacheng Hall of Wenwu Temple is the only Confucius Temple in Taiwan with an open central gate. According to the temple, this is because Wenwu Temple is located on the shores of Sun Moon Lake and usually has many tourists. The central gate was added to facilitate the entry and exit of tourists and has no special meaning. However, the bronze statue of Confucius in Dacheng Hall is the only Confucius Temple in Taiwan with a sacred statue. In addition to the sacred statue of Confucius, there are also Mencius and Zisi. These three statues were originally enshrined in China and were circulated to Sayama Fudo-ji Temple in Japan during the Boxer Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty. They were then replicated and moved to Wenwu Temple. Address: 南投縣魚池鄉中正路63號 Hours: 00:00–23:59 Nantou
