Wenwu Shrine was built in the late Qing Dynasty (1644-1911). This 512-square-meter complex was originally used by the Hakka community to honor Wenchang Dijun, the god of literature and culture, and the ancient general Guan Yu, whose martial prowess led to his deification.

During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the shrine served as a crucial gathering place for the Dongjiang Column of Guangdong People’s Guerrilla Force Against Japanese Aggression. Later, it functioned as a school and a grain and oil supply station.

With the historic architecture preserved, part of the shrine has been repurposed as a branch of Pingshan Book Rooms, where locals can read and attend cultural events. The collection places special emphasis on Hakka history and culture.
