☆ Chungnyeolsa Temple is home to 91 officials, soldiers, and people in Busan, including Song Sang-hyeon, an official of Dongnae who died while protecting the country during the Japanese Invasion of Korea in 1592. In the third year of King Hyojong's reign (1652), Yun Mun-geo, an official of Dongnae, held a memorial service in the second and eighth lunar months under the auspices of the Anrakseowon Confucian Academy, which was built to honor Song Sang-hyeon's studies and loyalty.

The incense of Chungnyeolsa Jehyang was originated from the construction of Songgongsa Shrine, which was built on Nongjusan Mountain outside the south gate of Dongnaeeupseong Fortress, in the 38th year of King Seonjo's reign (1605). In 1652, Yun Mun-geo built Anrakseowon Confucian Academy and renamed Songgongsa Temple into Chungnyeolsa Temple because of the narrow construction and and the loudness of the temple near the gate. Since then, the Chungnyeolsa Jehyang has continued for more than 350 years to this day.

Chungnyeolsa Temple honors the spirit of patriotic martyrs who died while defending the country, including the officials and the county governor, as well as the servants and the concubines belonged, which are not seen in other regions, and it is rare for female priests to participate in the memorial service. It is also characterized by the fact that the ancestral rites have been held in accordance with the old law for many years.
