'Xinzhu Temple' was a Cao Dong Zong missionary school on Nan-men Street in Hsinchu. It began in September 1896 and ended in 1945, at the end of World War II. Fumei Adachi was the first abbot, followed by Ishimitsu Tanaka, Dairyū Imanishi, Katō Kiun, Matsuyama Kōdō, and others. Naotaka Sakuma became the sixth abbot of Xinzhu Temple in 1924. These administrators were dedicated on establishing local social relations. Thus, Xinzhu Temple demonstrated religious activities through 'action and interaction.' It has since been demolished, leaving just one lesser-known house as Nan-men Li's meeting place. However, the issues of Xinzhu Temple's local cultural background may be further extended. Aside than Buddhist contact between Taiwan and Japan, this study focuses on the 'relation spatiality' of Japanese temples built by Japanese monks during the Japanese occupation period (such as the relationship between the temple and religious people, poetry societies, and social common people), as well as 'imperial religious' temple and the unique locality different from local religious culture in Taiwan and demonstrating 'colonial conquest,' 'Buddhism-based nation,' and 'Japanization.'
