In the Guangxu era of the Qing Dynasty, Wu Guangliang, the commander-in-chief of Taiwan Town, founded the ‘Zhengxin Academy’ on Zhuzaiyu, which is known as Lalu Island today. This establishment was aimed at fostering community school education. Within the academy, the God of Literature was revered and later, this deity was moved and enshrined in what is now called Mingde Palace.
