During the time of the cultivation, many pioneers being killed by the fight with highland aborigine or different group of pioneers because of the scramble for the territory. Wu’s original intention for the new temple was build it to enshrine these earliest immigrants to sacrifice the master souls.

During the Japanese colonial era the Dahu Yimin Temple was brutally removed and it was not until after Taiwan's retrocession, that Dahu villagers were able to re-build the temples,The temples legally established anti-Japanese victim Luo Fuxing who is enshrined in the temple. The Dahu Yimin Temple has the appearance of simple, architectural decoration of the temple which does not appear to magnificent. After 60 years there has been no re-decoration, and even more simplicity and nature of the Dahu Yimin Temple can be seen. Behind the temple, the Zhao Zhong Tower sees the enshrined anti-Japanese victim Luo Fuxing and the reclamation of the Wild victims bones, with also the enshrined Luo Fuxing martyr so that when the temple was completed President Chiang Kai-shek presented the plaque and government ministers also donated a wooden couplet. Now, these have become the most special temple decoration in Dahu Yimin Temple.The grand festival, is on July 24 with the Lunar Soul-salvation festival . Since Wu built the temple, Soul-salvation festival of the Dahu Yimin Temple members has been changed violently.
