Su Zhou Lian Ancestral Shrine - East District

The former United Ancestral Hall of the four major families in Chiayi

After eating the cold noodles of Xingzhong Street and going to the park to go to the toilet, I went to visit this ancestral hall. Although it is a ruins of the ancestral monuments, it still retains the wood craftsmanship of the wisdom of the ancestors. The interpretation of Ou Ke Sang also said that the shape of the surrounding wall is designed with a top hat. The only tablet on the table is the one who has served as an official, and is eligible for the table (the number is quite large). Friends who like historic buildings can come in and take a look at the park or leisure. Wikipedia: Chiayi Su Zhou Lianzong is the ancestral hall and monument of Chiayi City, Taiwan. It was announced on January 1st of the Republic of China in 1989 (2000). It is the earliest established ancestral hall in Chiayi City. In addition to the ancestral sacred ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors of the ancestors. In 1895, after the Qing Dynasty Maguan Treaty was ceded to Taiwan, the Su family thought that it would be quite inconvenient to go to the Chinese mainland to worship the ancestors in the future. In the next year, they purchased the villa from Suxiaode, the director of Chiayi Street, and renovated it into the Su family temple. In the 14th year of the Showa era (1939), the Su's Clan Association was established. After the Second World War, after the National Government received Taiwan, the original clan association was expanded into the "Su Zhoulian Clan Association" in the 47th year of the Republic of China (1958), and the family temple was also renamed "Su Zhou Lianzong".

Small attractions can be visited if you pass by

Save and renovate very well, you can see the long history of the big family, which can make people back to time. But it is a monument, and it may not be possible. It takes half an hour to look at and remember.

The rare Min-style ancestral hall in the urban area of ​​Chiayi is a one-stop building made of wood. It has multiple gates, all of which are open when they are opened, which is very impressive. There is usually no crowds, and the internal staff will greet tourists warmly when they see them.

In the 22nd year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1896), the ancestors of the Su family raised funds to purchase the Medieval House, which was renovated and used as the Su family temple. In 1949, it was renamed Su Zhoulian Ancestral Hall. This ancestral hall is the earliest existing ancestral hall in Chiayi City. It has been used for a hundred years as a friendship between the ancestors and clan members of the Su clan in Greater Chiayi. Seeking roots has profound cultural implications. In the ancestral hall, in addition to the gods of Su Zhoulian and the 31 gods who have official positions by the ancestors of the Su clan, there are also special gods of the Su clan's life-saving ancestor of En Gong. The ancestral hall was originally a triad courtyard with one entrance and three compartments. It was a traditional southern Fujian building with a total construction area of ​​235 square meters. The ancestors of the Su family thought it would be inconvenient to travel to mainland China to worship their ancestors in the future. Purchased his villa and renovated it into the Su family temple. Later, in the 14th year of Showa (1939), the Su clan association was established. After the Nationalist Government took over Taiwan, the original clan clan association was expanded into the "Su Zhou Lian Clan Association" in the 47th year of the Republic of China (1958), and the family temple was also renamed "Su Zhou Lian Clan Ancestral Hall."

The ancestral hall buildings left in the Qing Dynasty, because they are still in use, do not feel very touristy. The introduction of the building itself is relatively small, and more emphasis is placed on the introduction of the Su family. Overall, it is a small and complete place.
