Wen Wu Temple
In 1869, Tsai was hired as a teacher at Wenkai Academy. In 1870, he proposed to renovate Lukang Mazu Temple. In 1874, when the renovation of Lukang Mazu Temple was completed, De-fang Tsai became a Jinshi degree holder. Therefore, the stele inscriptions were “New Jinshi De-fang Tsai.”

Guangze Zunwang is enshrined in the Fengshan Temple in Lukang Township. According to the elders, for the ancient wooden lots and lot container in the temple, the lottery poetry on the wooden lots was handwritten by Jinshi De-fang Tsai on bamboo lots. The only difference between the ancient lots and the current lots is the lot number. These ancient works were the treasure left by Scholar De-fang Tsai for Lukang.
