Wanhua"Kinmen Kuan" naturally was founded by Kinmen immigrants at Wanhua. In addition to being used as a temple worshipping Hsu-fu Wang Ye, it also functions as the gathering place for members of the Kinmen Association.
Hsu-fu Wang Ye was separated from"Wu-te Kong" in Wu-chow-yi (now Kinmen County), Tong-an County, Fukien. In Taiwan, the earliest temple that worshipped Hsu-fu Wang Ye is the one in Lukang.
Kinmen appears in the arena of Chinese history earlier than Taiwan and Penghu. According to the Kinmen Annals of the Ching dynasty, during the Tsin dynasty Chung-yuan was war-torn; fleeing to Kinmen were refugees with the following six last names: Hsu, Chen, Wu, Tsai, Lu, and Yen.
Like the other Wang-ye Miao, inside Kinmen Kuan are also set the statue of two generals: Hsieh Pi-an and Fan Wu-chiu. The temple primarily worships Hsu-fu Wang Ye. According to the Kinmen Annals, long before Chen Yen, who herded horses, came to Kinmen, the Hsu's had immigrated to Kinmen.
