History

As Koxinga travelled to Taiwan, Koxinga brought a statue of the Great Emperor Baosheng in hopes of a safe trip. When Koxinga and his crew members arrived at Taiwan, they left it at Wu family’s place; however, after a chain of paranormal events, local people started to pray to this statue. After a while, people decided to build a temple for this Great Emperor Baosheng.
Built in the period of koxinga, Ren-Show Temple originally was used to pray towards the Great Emperor Baosheng; however, other statues started to be placed in the temple for the people. These gods included: Marshal of the Central Altar, Earth God, Wu Fortuna, Birth Goddess, Tiger God, Wenchang Monarch, Doo Basking Goddess, Left and Right Custodian, sixty Year Duty Gods, and much more.

隨鄭成功來台，為祈海途順遂，乃自福建省同安縣白礁跪祈保生大帝金身一尊， 隨身攜奉，安抵台島，初僅奉於吳宅。後因大帝顯化，靈驗異常，地方人士多獲帝佑，特念神非廟無以憑依，人非神莫由庇護，乃有人發起募捐盛舉，於信眾同心協力下創立廟堂。保生大帝俗名大道公，本宮主祀保生大帝，其他的旁祀神明包括：中壇元帥、福德正神、武財神、註生娘娘、虎爺、五文昌聖君、斗姥元君、左右護法及六十太歲星君。​
