Fujian Wushan

Super artistic Fuzhou Five Plague Gods belief was found in Fuzhou Gaoye Temple. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Liu Yuanshi, Zhong Shixiu, Zhao Guangming, Shi Zhongli, and Zhang Yuanbo dreamed of evil spirits poisoning in the well when they were in Fuzhou. In order to prove to the citizens, they drank the well water and died for martyrdom and were sealed as plague gods by the people of Fuzhou. Because Qianlong thought it was a lewd sacrifice, in order to keep the Gaoye Temple, the people of Fuzhou brought the divine doctor Gao Zhenren who became immortal in Wushan, Fuzhou during the Song Dynasty into the temple. The Zhengyi Academy built by Zuo Zongtang, the Drum Tower site has a monument to Zheng Chenggong being given the national surname and Zhu Xi's Fu character, and there is also a museum about the history of financial and currency development in Shangxia Hang.
