Zhang’s Ancestral Temple(張氏家廟)

Last crawled date: 2 years ago

Zhang’s Ancestral Temple, commonly called Zhang’s family temple, was built by Zhang Yunlong in 1868. The tow-floor and two-hall architectural pattern can be called magnificent at that time. It is a pity that it was burned down by the Japanese Army in 1895. Afterwards, Zhang Xiude rebuilt it in 1907, changing it into the current one-hall and two-wingrooms appearance. Zhang’s Ancestral Temple is similar with the Liu’s Ancestral Temple in the light of architecture. In addition to the double coattails on the main body, the drooping ridge in front of the main body also has coattails and the central part of the wing-rooms have coattails, which is characteristic. The walls of Zhang’s Ancestral Temple is primarily the Dou Zih-laying metope, the wing-rooms of the main body all have Shuichedu and the Du has exquisite clay sculpture decoration, all of which are the features of this historic site. #Hsinchu_County #Taiwan #Temple #Xinpu #Xinpu_Township #台灣 #客家 #張氏家廟 #新埔鎮 #新竹縣
