History

During the period of Koxinga, Han Chinese people entered Xin-Feng, Taiwan, most people called that area “Xiang-Yang Zai” or “little Xiang-Yang.”
After the temple was built, it was popular temple; however, during May 1, 1853, there was a big earthquake, except for the middle palace, other sections of the temple were ruined, until it was reconstructed from 1855 to 1857. During 1862, there was another earthquake, similar to the earthquake in 1853, the majority of the temple except for the middle palace were left in ruins, until it was renewed in 1867. From then, people started to believe in the supernatural power of the god that held his place in the middle palace, Emperor Guan.

遠自明鄭時期，漢人自安平至鹿耳門一帶，進入新豐里，墾荒聚落後，該地稱為「香洋仔」或是「小香洋」。
嗣後堂前結市香火漸盛，至一八五三年五月一日大地震，除中殿外，其他受災倒圮，乃至一八五五年，至一八五七年完成。後至一八六二年夏季，又因大地震堂宇傾圮，獨中殿屹立如故。雖歷三次災變，中殿皆無受損，其神威如是不可思議。至一八六七年復建完成，如此歷代居民無時無刻用心維護本聖廟。
