How a Tang Dynasty Horse Master Saved an Island From Pirates｜金門開拓之神陳淵
How a Tang Dynasty Horse Master Saved an Island From Pirates? Join us on an on-site exploration of Kinmen's hidden temples (金門開拓之神陳淵) as we uncover the incredible legend of Chen Yuan! Discover how a humble horse master turned into a legendary deity that even the most ruthless pirates feared.
Ever wonder how an ordinary man becomes a god worshipped for over a thousand years? Long before the famous Wind Lion Gods (風獅爺) stood guard, there was Chen Yuan—a Tang Dynasty official sent to a remote island with nothing but a herd of horses. But when brutal pirates attacked, what happened next defied history and entered the realm of the supernatural.
In this video, we aren't just telling you the history—we are taking you with us! We travel across Kinmen to visit multiple historic Chen Yuan Temples (牧馬侯祠), bringing these ancient myths to life right before your eyes.
We’ll also uncover why his sacred sanctuary was named the "Fuji Temple" (孚濟廟) by a Song Dynasty Emperor, and the mystical origin of the "Medicine Well" (藥井)—a legendary spring said to have cured a devastating plague that swept through the island centuries ago! From controlling horses with magical drums to a legacy that traveled all the way to Southeast Asia, this is a legendary story of survival and faith.
唐朝的一位「牧馬大師」，居然能讓凶殘的海盜聞風喪膽、最後還變成了守護島嶼千年的萬家香火？
這支影片不只帶你聽歷史傳說，更將親自帶領大家實地走訪金門各地的「牧馬侯祠」，透過真實的鏡頭一探金門最古老的守護神信仰！
大家都知道金門有風獅爺，但你知道在風獅爺之前，是誰帶著一群馬開墾了這座島嶼嗎？祂就是金門的開拓之神——「恩主公」陳淵。從用神奇的戰鼓控馬，到羽化成神後顯靈擊退海盜，影片中更將首次為全球觀眾解密：為什麼他的主祀廟宇會被宋朝皇帝御賜名為「孚濟廟」？以及當地最著名的「藥井」典故——相傳在過去瘟疫肆虐時，這口神祕的古井是如何拯救了無數島民的性命？
這不僅是一段充滿神祕色彩的東方傳奇，更是一段跨越海洋、深深影響東南亞華人圈的信仰史詩。本片將帶領全球觀眾一起揭開牧馬恩主公背後的千年神蹟與歷史謎團！
