Temple of the Lotus God Prince

The Temple of the Lotus God Prince is a cultural tourism attraction.

The Temple of the Lotus God Prince is located in Dahe Village, Chishui Town, Guangchang County, Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province. The temple enshrines statues of the "Seven Lotus God Princes." On both sides of the main entrance are three couplets: "The temple’s majesty endures through the ages, its divine power guards all directions"; "Lotus flowers weave a vast tapestry across fields and lands, celestial maidens deeply understand mortal hearts"; "Mysterious incense bonds Fujian and Guangdong, the harmony of heaven reflects the universe." The temple’s lintel is inscribed with "Temple of the Lotus God Prince."

For thousands of years, from the 24th to the 26th of the sixth lunar month each year, local villagers have held temple fair activities to honor the Lotus God and celebrate the harvest. During this time, merchants from both Fujian and Jiangxi provinces gather in Dahe Village, Chishui, to participate in the temple fair celebrations and trade activities such as the white lotus market. Special ceremonies are held during the annual temple fair to invite the Lotus God Prince out to join the public festivities. This tradition continued even during the Cultural Revolution’s campaign to eradicate the "Four Olds."
