The cultured town of Lukang in Changhua County is a major center of Taiwan's woodcarving arts. During the Daoguang reign (1821-1850) of the Qing Dynasty, many renowned woodworkers were hired to come to Taiwan from Quanzhou in Fujian Province and participate in the rebuilding of ancient temples in Lukang. Many of them settled in Lukang and passed on their craft.
