The statue of Imperial Lord Wen Chang was transported to Taiwan by a merchant from China during the Japanese colonial period. The merchant, who was staying away from home, worshipped the statue day and night. However, after his business failed, he lost interest in worshipping, and abandoned the statue in a forest. One evening, a woman saw the statue. Not knowing where the deity was from, she gathered many people in a ceremonial reception to welcome the deity. An old man felt that the statue bore resemblance to Imperial Lord Wen Chang, the deity who looks after the fortune and reputation of people. Hence, they built a small temple on Lane 45 of Minsheng East Road to properly worship it. Later, most believers seeking academic success came to worship the statue. It was said that their wishes were oftentimes granted.
It is the only temple in the district that enshrines Imperial Lord Wen Chang. It has many worshippers, and students who come to pray for success during the examination period often have their wishes come true.

Nice temple (but don't make a special trip unless you have an upcoming examination)
2014-11FOLKLORE: This temple is dedicated to the god of wisdom and is a favorite of those preparing for examinations. This temple is consistent with other Asian temples (nothing special), so I would not make a special trip to visit the temple unless you had an upcomng examination. I recommend three other temples in Taipei Longshan Paoan Confuciussarahcheung523

求文昌，金榜題名
2017-03位於台北市，靠近雙連捷運站，早上有傳統市場，很多攤販在擺賣食材，水果蔬菜都很新鮮。文昌宮多是學子前來求個考試升學順利，要進職場的準畢業生也會前來拜拜。ディープ産駒

Lugar interesante si estas de paseo por la zona
2017-09Recomiendo hacer una caminata desde el Taipei City Mall hasta la estación Minquan; son entre 12 y 15 cuadras con tiendas a los costados y una especie de boulevard central en el cual se encuentra este templo. Vale la pena pasar tanto de día como de noche; la iluminación del templo es muy atractiva.さも336
