In 2020, Wang read the Jiangxi Provincial Local Chronicle and learned that there was a "Luwang Temple" in Beikeng Village, Shima Town, Yongfeng County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province. Wang Mou went to Beikeng Village and wanted to visit the LuWang Temple. After Wang Arrived in Beikeng Village, due to the unfamiliarity of his life, he did not find the LuWang Temple.
On October 31, 2021, Zeng Zhi, president of Ouyang Xiu Literary Society in Yongfeng County, Xu Minggeng and Huang Jiansheng, vice presidents, and members Wu Xingming, Luo Hui and Wang Fuxing organized a group to go to Beikeng Village to collect wind. Under the leadership of Lu Xuefei, Fan Changmei and Lu Guoping, cadres of Beikeng Village, we found the long-admired Lu Wang Temple.
The ancient temple in the picture is the Luwang Temple that ascended to the Jiangxi Provincial Local History. Ordinary temples are dedicated either to Buddhist gods or Taoist gods. The Luwang Temple is different, and it is not dedicated to the gods and immortals of the Buddhist and Taoist religions. Inside the Temple of King Lu is dedicated to Lu Guangchou, the King of Qianzhou and Zhonghui Guangli.
Lu Guangchou, also known as Lu Dingguo, the character Maoxi, also the character MaoXi, also the word Mao, the milk name Seventeen Lang. Lu Guangchou was born from the Fanyang Lu clan, one of the five surnames of Qiwang, and his father Lu Zhuo was a Qianzhou Assassin. Lu Guangchou's grandfather, Lu Guangda, was the son of Lu Zongtai, the chancellor of the Tang Dynasty. Lu Zongtai was implicated by Princess Taiping and was forced to move from Youzhou to Jiangxi with his clan and settle in Gannan.

Lu Guangchou was born in Nankang County during the Tang Dynasty, and his hometown is now under the jurisdiction of Shangyou County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. Lu Guangcong was a burly figure and was born with divine powers, and he had been practicing martial arts since childhood. Lu Guangchou was born in Xiangmendi, a subset of the history of the Classics, and was a talent who was both literate and martial. Lu Guangchou has a lot of appeal in the Gannan area, somewhat similar to the Song Jiang in "Water Margin".
In the last year of the Tang Dynasty, the kingdom will die. Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao led a peasant uprising. Huang Chao's rebel army severely damaged the decaying Tang Dynasty, making it unable to control Jiangxi. Bandits are everywhere in Jiangxi, and if there is a gun, it is the king of grass. All kinds of bandits poisoned Gannan and burned and plundered everywhere.

The people of Gannan have suffered greatly from the devastation of charcoal, and their lives are in danger of being upside down. Lu Guangchou watched the bandits plague Gannan, and he couldn't bear to see the lives of his hometown destroyed. Lu Guangchou and his cousin Tan Quanbo, together, called on the villagers in Nankang to raise an army to suppress the bandits. The villagers of Gannan responded to Lu Guangchou one after another and formed a powerful peasant rebel army.
Tan Quanbo, a native of Nankang in the Tang Dynasty, was a native of Ningdu County, Ganzhou City, Jiangxi Province. Tan Quanbo was a cousin of Lu Guangchou, Tan Quanbo was born in 834 AD, and Lu Guangchou was born in 840 AD. Although Tan Quanbo was older, he admired Lu Guangcong's talent and was willing to be his cousin's deputy.

In the first year of emperor Guangqi of the Tang Dynasty, 885 AD. Lu Guangchou led the rebel army to lay siege to Qianzhou, and was elected as the Grand Marshal and the Assassin of Qianzhou. Qianzhou occupied by Lu Guangchou is the area of present-day Ganzhou. Lu Guangchou sent Tan Quanbo to lead an army to attack Guangdong, capturing Shaozhou and Chaozhou, and becoming a divided force with many soldiers and a large number of generals.
Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo occupied Ganzhou, Shaoguan, and Chaozhou, protecting these areas from bandits. Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo ruled gannan and northeastern Guangdong for thirty years, and practiced the benevolent government of eliminating violence and peace, lightly giving away small gifts, and persuading nongsang, thus making great contributions to the development of gannan and northeastern Guangdong.

In the last years of the Tang Dynasty, Peng Jiu of Jishui County occupied Jizhou, and The Dangerous Quan of Lichuan County occupied Fuzhou. Lu Guangchou and Tan Quanbo, Peng Jiu, and Wei Quan tried to protect Ganzhou, Fuzhou, and Ji'an from bandits, laying a solid foundation for Jiangxi's rapid development in the Song Dynasty. Historians refer to Lu Guangchou, Tan Quanbo, Peng Jie, and Wei Quan as the "Four Jies of Jiangxi" or the "Four Jies of Jiangyou".
In 911, on the twelfth day of the fifth lunar month, Lu Guangchou died of illness in Gannan Province. Later Liang's taizu Zhu Quanzhong heard the news and posthumously made Lu Guangchou the Prince of Zhonghui Guangli. Lu Guangchou ruled Gannan and northeastern Guangdong for 26 years, practicing benevolent government to benefit the people and deeply respecting the people of gannan and northeastern Guangdong. The Zhonghui Temple in Shaoguan, Guangdong, the Kangwang Temple in Nankang County, Ganzhou, and the Luwang Temple in Yongfeng County, Ji'an City, are all temples built by the people in gratitude to Lu Guangchou's kindness.
