This temple is where you will go after you pass away, and the god will use the giant abacus to decide where you have to go and if you will have any punishment. Tiny temple, a must visit in Tainan.

Taiwan Fu ZtengHuang Miao It prays for the ZhengHuang Yeh. ZtengHuang means it protects the border when it covers around the Cityhall. You will see the whole picture with the pilgrimage’s welcome queue. The plaque 「威震東寧」「WeiZyenDongNieng」 is the famous renown out of the Japan. GueiZtai is the police extradite the ghost into the Hell in the ancient EastSouth. The stone hole below the ErYeh(BaYeh) and LiouYeh is putting the HuYeh to pray for. SanDa Plaque are the FuZtengHuang Miao 「爾來了」「ErLaiLe」,the ZhuSiS「了然世界」「LiaoZhanShJie」 and the TianTan「一」「Yi」 with the religious imagination. The map of picture uses the brass rubbing. The pillar of the instrument of torture is the criminal used to the jail with. The two sides are the government’s department positions. There are some important historical relics,which are the stone plagues,stone map and the wedding ceremony’s supplies. The missing good is the DaSuanPan. The BaoGong’s Desk is also putting here. BaoGong is the official judge with some kinds of the thief,criminal and rapist. Here is like the garden of the government’s rest place. The incense burner’s print is on TaiwanFu,which is the time passing the Japanese period and Taiwan Fu period. The CiZten Tai is the different with the good meaning of traditional way,which is the double purpose of. 「狀元出自三十六行」「ZhuangYuanZhuZtSanShLiouHang」 is the perfectionist of the job,who is the best of the team. 「活佛」「HuouHou」 is the JiGong’s nickname.

Not Buddhist nor Taoist, this is the translation of human bureaucratic system in the other world so definitely worth visiting

This is the temple to the city god of Tainan. Absolutely worth your time and attention. The place has a sense of respect, this would be a good first stop for a traveler. Definitely check out the fresh vegetarian temple food next door: cheap, fresh, friendly, and could not be more relaxed. I love Tainan for the temple culture they have, and this was my first temple of the city. As it is the city god of Tainan, it seemed appropriate :)

[臺灣紀遊]臺南府城隍廟第廿三 1994年的春夏之交,某個不冷不熱的晚上,我與朋友們,一共七個人,坐在上海城隍廟大層的門檻上,後背貼着大木門,我們有兩瓶黃酒,好象是上海本地的和酒,七個人中有六個男生,七個人中有一個滴酒不沾,七個人中有五個當年就要大學畢業,前途未卜,七個人中只有一個人騎自行車,那輛車就停在大殿的臺階上。 那是我的自行車,那也是我青年的開始,只記得大家都喝得醺醺的,有人騎着我的車,書包架上還坐着一個,他們出去騎了一圈,後來灰溜溜地回來,說是碰到聯防隊的被罰了五元錢。 我很喜歡城隍廟,因為我喜歡讀《聊齋》,第一篇就是《考城隍》,所以我很早就對「城隍」這一職稱有了入門的知識,但是沒有感觀的認識。我們坐的那幢大殿,全上海人都知道那是城隍廟,但是94年的我們,沒人知道城隍老爺長什麼樣,因為裡面的神像和一切宗教用品早在1966年的8月,就被紅衛兵在麗水路停車場全都燒掉了。我們所坐的地方,原來城隍廟匾應該在的地方,是「豫園商城」四個字。 後來的事大家都知道了,城隍廟又變回了道觀,城隍秦裕伯又回來了,城隍霍光又回來了......什麼?上海有兩位城隍?算客氣的了,要是加上陳化成,上海曾經有三位城隍呢!衹是他們沒有三權分立,一起庇護着上海的萬千生靈。 我來到了臺南府城隍廟,又要來斷句了,到底是「臺南府」「城隍廟」呢?還是「臺南」「府城隍廟」呢?嚴格地說,應該是「臺南」「臺灣府」「城隍廟」。臺南,曾經是臺灣府的府城所在地,什麼概念呢?也就是說臺南曾經是臺灣的首都。後來呢,臺灣府的府城被搬到了臺北,被誰搬的呢?被我的高祖父邵友濂搬的。 臺灣府城隍廟,建於1669年,當時是承天府城隍廟,是臺灣最早的官建城隍廟,幾百年流傳至今,當中沒有做過商場,在清朝時,改名為「臺灣府城隍廟」。 臺灣府城隍廟供奉的是威靈公,與上海城隍有名有姓實有其人不同,臺灣府城隍沒有一個具體對應的人,威靈公是他的爵位,這是朱元璋登基後給全國的城隍封的,封京都金陵城隍為「福明靈王」,汴州、濠州、太平府、和州、滁州等府州「龍興之地」城隍亦封為正一品王爵,並加上「承天鑒國司民」的尊號。其餘城隍各賜爵位:府城隍封為「二品威靈公」、州城隍封為「三品靈祐侯」、縣城隍封為「四品顯祐伯」,並加上「鑒察司民」尊號;所以臺灣府的就是「威靈公」了。 如果你去到臺南的臺灣府城隍廟,你會笑的,因為這位王公的廟實在有點寒酸,那可比新建的上海城隍廟差多了。那就是在街上的一座小廟,沒有牌樓沒有山門,前殿(三川殿)直接建在路中央,與正殿間有拜亭連接,除亭的兩側狹窄的天井可以採光外,兩殿幾乎已成為一體。 三川殿(前殿)有一塊大匾,上書「爾來了」三字,與台南天壇的「一」字匾與竹溪寺的「了然世界」匾額合稱「臺南三大名匾」。在三川門楣的上方,有一隻很大的算盤,左右的對聯「善惡權由人自作,是非算定法難容」,象徵城隍公以算盤計算世人的功過,有懲惡揚善之意。其實他們還有一隻長達3.6米的大算盤,是「出會(出巡)」是用的。 別看廟小,供奉的神祇却不少,第一進的三川殿,有兩對七爺八爺(黑白無常)和一對甘爺柳爺,其中有一對黑白無常比人還高,很是可怖。 主殿正中有城隍爺威靈公,座前左右文判官、武判官,兩側是二十四司,分別是提刑司、保安司、陰陽司、考功司、感應司、速報司、巡政司、督糧司、註福司、儀禮司、賞善司、稽查司、地獄司、驅疫司、掌案司、察過司、良愿司、功曹司、文書司、學政司、註壽司、典籍司、罰惡司、檢簿司,據說每到考期,學子們都會來拜「考功司」「學政司」以祈好成績,說是會有大量的復印准考證供在兩位的案前----其是「考功司」是不管「考試功力」的,那是管「考核(官吏)功過」的,真正是拜錯了。 第三殿正中是觀音佛祖、上手城隍老爺與城隍奶奶,下手臨水夫人、註生娘娘、天上聖母。兩側則是十八羅漢,這裡的十八羅漢與常見的不儘相同,除了有同樣的「降龍」「伏虎」「長眉」「布袋」「達摩(過江)」「進獅(笑獅)」「開心(喜慶)」「淨耳(挖耳)」之外,其他都是平時並不常見的,象是「慈姿尊者、目蓮尊者、誌公尊者、不求尊者、觀經尊者、老僧尊者、飛鈸尊者、如恩尊者、大覺尊者」,甚至還有一位穿龍袍的「梁武帝尊者」。 此外,還有兩個單間的小殿,東邊是地藏王菩薩,右邊是福德正神(土地公)。你看,廟雖小,眾神齊全,一次拜個夠,方便又合算。 府城隍廟的建築也很有趣,除了屋頂的福祿壽三星、托塔天王十李靖、二郎神楊戩外,還有屋檐下的八仙,都是雕工精美值得一看的。有趣的是,有一對頂着屋檐的塑像,一看就不是中國人,叫做「憨番扛廟角」,足發一笑。 廟雖小,却值得好好玩玩,若是文物室開放,又有許多好東西,裡面還有原來二十四司的紙官帽,做得相當精緻,現在算是文物了,衹能放在展櫃中陳列了。 臺南還有自己的城隍廟----全臺首邑縣城隍廟,往西北步行1.3公里即至,但那是1980重新翻造的,我就興趣缺缺了。

The outside of the temple is under construction, all wrapped and covered, the inside hall still works as usual.
