Hokkien Province Quan Zhou Quan Shan Gong, an Old Temple built in Ming Dynasty Yong Le Period (about 600 odd Years ago).
This Temple was built dedicated to Fu De Zheng Shen aka Earth Deity (福德正神).
According to Records, in the Initial Period, this Temple was not known as Quan Shan Gong but Hu Zai Gong (虎仔宮), meaning Tiger Temple.
And from Folks Myth, this Area was once being invaded by Tigers and after the Folks made requests to Fu De Zheng Shen, Fu De Zheng Shen appeared in the Area to subdue the Tigers. Soon after the Tigers were subdued, the Area returned to its peacefulness again.
In-order to repay back the Gratitude, the Folks in the Area dedicated a Big Statue to Fu De Zheng Sheng and changed the Title of the Temple to Quan Shan Gong.
