竹山連興宮

The historic Mazu Temple is a three-level monument with a history of more than 200 years. There are many snacks on the old street next to it. There is a very special bamboo Mazu in the temple. There is an open space around the temple for parking, but there should be no vacancies on holidays.

The front hall of the temple is a traditional building. Because of its age, it is a historic site in Nantou County. The walls are made of earthen bricks; the roof is covered with glazed tiles and the dovetail is shaped like a flying dragon. Although it has been rebuilt many times, there are still many ancient relics, such as the "Fubu Mountain and Sea" plaque at the head of the shrine gate, the "Zhengtang Ma Shi" stone stele on the outer wall of the right wall, the stone stele standing in the fourth year of Daoguang, the stone lions on both sides of the palace gate, and The pedestal, the main entrance and the footstones of the left and right doors, and the pillar foundations in the palace, etc., are the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival is very beautiful!!

After staying in Zhushan for one night and riding a bicycle provided by the hotel, I discovered this tertiary monument. What attracted me was the bamboo-woven Mazu, which is actually a bit cute. I really admire someone who can make it up! If you don’t have faith, it’s good to come in and see the architecture and see Mazu~

Lianxing Palace was originally named Lianyu Palace, also known as Tiangong or Mazu Palace. It is dedicated to Meizhou Mazu. It was originally named Tianshang Palace in the early years of Xianfeng in the middle of the Qing Dynasty. It was renamed after extensive renovations, but the old name of Tianshang Palace was still used at that time. There are two theories, one is Qianlong 7th year (1742), the other is Qianlong 21st year, after Xianfeng 6 years (1856), Japanese rule and Meiji 40 years (1907) and Republic of China 61 years of three major constructions, is Mazu Temple with the longest history in Nantou County. Lianxing Palace is located in the downtown area of ​​Zhushan Town. It is named mainly after the meaning of "water and sand continuous prosperity", and is the center of faith for local residents. The front hall of the temple enshrines the deity of Mazu. It was originally seated in the Mazu Palace in Sheliao in the first year of the Taisho era (1912). Today, the activity of welcoming Mazu back to the Mazu Palace in her mother’s family community with a mikoshi has been going on for 80 years). Black-faced Mazu, the statue of the god is two feet eight, plus the seat and the rear cap are four feet two. Because it was not easy to carry the platform from the mainland, the engraver adopted cartilage construction method. Exquisite design in combination. Except for the movement of the limbs, the feet are wrapped in cloth, the three-inch golden lotus wears hydrangea balls, and the ears wear earrings, which are very rare in Taiwan.
