old photos of Tsoying左營的舊照 見證蔣氏政權的無知

About Tsoying, almost old photos are related to such scene as Ban-Ping-Shan and Spring-Autumn-Pagoda. The hill( Ban-Ping-Shan) at background is destroyed by dictators Chiang Kai Sheik and his son when KMT occupying Taiwan since 1945. From enviromental protection, it is a permanent record of the tyrant,brutal Chiangs, until now.

左營的舊照 常常是春秋閣與半屏山的影像 50年代 它幾乎就是台灣的代表 "logo" 在蔣介石與其兒子的殘酷統治台灣下 半屏山被挖了一大半 也因此 這樣的歷史的影像永遠記載了 蔣氏政權如何摧殘台灣 凡走過必留下痕跡

Almost every temples in Taiwan have the Tien-Gon-Lu,( 天公爐 joss stick cup) in front of main door. It is said that the Tien-Gon is the God of Gods ( GOG). When the temple is pray to Tien-Gon, mainly, then, how about the "Lu( cup)" in front of the main door?!

台灣的寺廟 大概均有"天公爐" 置於主廟門外部 以示 天公( 玉皇上帝 ) 乃萬神之神

若主祀為天公的寺廟 則此"爐" 如何稱呼?
