While some people believethat Governor Ni had served under General Chen Yuan Guang, the founder of Zhangzhou,others argue that Governor Ni was Zheng Cheng Gong’s subordinate. ' ZongGan Temple' had been renovated for several times. For instance, the monument wasonce renovated in 1835 (in the 15th year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty).
