This is a portrait of life in Wanggong. Starting from a question- "the value of a cast-away oyster shell", cultural workers begin to find a new life for the oyster shells. With the tenacity of the Wanggong people, the cultural workers begin to promote the oyster shell arts in schools and made continuous attempts to encourage creativity development in the students. This is the beginning of oyster shell arts. In 2003, the Council of Cultural Affairs began to give consultation and assistance and in 2005, the Council of Labor Affairs listed this craft into the Diversified Employment Development Project. The village residents often supply oyster shells voluntarily with enthusiasm and participate in the oyster shell craft exhibition events. The bond in the community began to develop through the oyster shells, but most importantly development of the oyster shell arts brought new business opportunities to this fishing village. Oyster shell craft is not just a mean to produce souvenirs. It carries a message of love for life, the environment, and the ecology. Oyster shells were once a burden to the environment, but now they have become the material for creative works. It not only solved the environmental problems but also acts to raise awareness of environmental protection. The Oyster Shell Craft Association continues to develop new products from the subjects of Black-faced Spoonbill, White Egrets, the Stilts, and Fiddler Crabs and creativity is the life of oyster shell craft. We wish that development of our art will bring more people to care for and participate in the causes to protect the environment, so that the beaches and the skies of Taiwan will be more and more beautiful every day (information source: Wanggong Oyster Shell Craft Culture Center).

As the times change, people no longer make dough figurines with edible ingredients, such as bean paste, sweet potato, and gelatinous rice. However, they don’t use artificial dough either. Instead, they use flour, salt, and food coloring as ingredients to give more value for the preservation of the finished products. After kneading, pressing, dotting, pasting, adhering, and rubbing the ingredients, artisans can develop their creativity in making figurines with their innovation. ]]>Fri, 01 Sep 2017 14:21:15 GMThttps://tourism.chcg.gov.tw/AttractionsContent.aspx?id=335&chk=D04E6D3D-3698-4F03-918D-4B89CDF85BA9<![CDATA[Garbage Truck Depot Shed off to Become an Art Gallery Changhua Zhongshan Hall was once a depot for the city’s garbage trucks and an office of the Cleaning Squad.

This temple was originally located inside the capital city’s south gate. In Qianlong 51 Qing Dynasty, Lin Shuang-Wen led a troop of militia to fight against the Qing government. Many official offices and temples were destroyed in the battles. Until the officials succumbed to the uprising militia in Jiaqing 5 Qing Dynasty (1800), County Magistrate Hu Ying-Kui and Imperial Scholars Chang Shih-Mo and Wu Tung-Sheng proposed to move the temple to the current site. The elegant architecture of this temple houses a large but finely crafted deity statue and numerous plaques and stone tablets. Its layout is similar to the Marshal temples in Tainan, Hsinchu, and Sinjhuang and is highly representative of the architectural style of Taiwan's Marshal Temples of the Qing Dynasty. Amongst the Marshal temples in Taiwan, very few are facing the east; the Marshal Temple of Changhua is a special case. The main hall enshrines Guan Gong, which is accompanied by the crowned princess, General Chou, and Chitu (Guan Gong's horse). The rear hall enshrines Emperor Wenchang and an old plaque, conferred in the Jiaqing Period, inscribed as “Power of the Sea Nations”. It simple and clean-cut wooden structure presents an aesthetic of masculinity and the unembellished woodcarvings present the formal architectural system of official structures. Judging from the wooden structures, the architect was possibly a Cantonese master. This can be seen from several sets of the bracket structure; in many places, the “cup” part of the bracket sets is not present and this is a main feature of Cantonese style architecture. A renovation project was carried out in recent years to restore the temple to its original look and instill an ambience of solemnity.]]>Wed, 15 Nov 2017 13:45:27 GMThttps://tourism.chcg.gov.tw/AttractionsContent.aspx?id=279&chk=5263A3A0-71A8-457F-8A33-A006B9A01A96<![CDATA[Tucked away behind Hushanyan Temple, a Grade III National Monument, the Daling Lane Hiking Trail is renowned for its crisp air and tranquil greenery.

The time has long gone and this traditional craft has distanced away from our lives without us being aware of it. It is now only seen in special time and space. Come to Lukang Old Street, we will bring back your childhood memory. Traditional folk art dated back to the ancient times The history Tang Dynasty recorded: artificial flowers, fruits, and flour figurines are put on the altar as offerings, alongside the seats for the banquet and the variety of sumptuous fruits. In the Song and Yuan Dynasties, flour figurines were often displayed in the larger banquets before the feasts were served. And in the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty period, dough figurine crafters were often seen carrying a small chest with a long rack filled with colorful dough figurines in the forms of human figures, insects, and birds. In late Qing Dynasty and early Republic Era, dough figurines marched into the towns and cities with more diversified forms. Figurine masters carried a chest and traveled through the streets and alleys to bring the children colorful and delightful treats. The dazzling colors were imprinted in the memories of the children and they still talk about today after long years have passed by. Funny figures loved by the children The dough was made from a mixture of glutinous rice powder and flour, and colored in an array of saturated tints and shades. The traditional themes ranged from the funny Monkey King and Pig Marshal to the solemn image of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Because the Chenghuang Temple in Yongning was called “Aoting Temple”, Lukang Chenghuang Temple also continued using the ancient temple’s name, Aoting Temple, as the name. The Main Hall enshrines Chenghuang, who was conferred the title of “Zhong-You-Hou”. The tablet of “Xie Li Yin Yang” above the shrine tells that Chenghuang-Ye is in charge of the administration of both Yin and Yang circles.

Changhua County was set up in the first year of the Yongzheng Period, but the County Offices were not completed until the sixth year. Therefore, before the county office was completed, administrative staffs of Changhua County worked in the Office of Zhuluo County (today’s Chiayi County) until the County Office was ready for occupancy. Therefore, Kaihua Temple was known to be the political and education center of Changhua County, since it was established before the county offices. It is also the very first temple in the history of Changhua County. In Qianlong 18 Qing Dynasty, Changhua residents raised the funds to renovate the temple. During the Qianlong Period, Chen Chou-Chuan and his militia rose against Qing Dynasty. During that time, Kaihua Temple was the command center for the anti-Qing Empire militia and the temple was half destroyed. In Daoguang 20 Qing Dynasty (1840) the temple was rebuilt, but in Xianfeng 10 Qing Dynasty it was destroyed again in a fire. During that time an uprising led by Tai Chao-Chun was underway; therefore, the temple was not rebuilt until the Tongzhi Period. During the Japanese Colonial Period, the Shanchuan Gate was removed to make way for road expansion and another temple gate was built at the north side of Meng Road inscribed with the name Kaihua Temple. The main hall enshrines Guanyin Bodhisattva accompanied by the 18 Arhans.

Kinmen Hall enshrines Sufu Wangye, a god enshrined by Kinmen people and Fujian navy. During the years of Emperor Jiaqing, believers invited Sufu Wangye from Taiwan Fucheng (Tainan) passing through Lukang and left the deity statue here for worship. In the 10th year of Emperor Jiaqing (1805), Lukang gentry Xu, Le-Shan asked his son to rebuild into Kinmen Hall as the temple to enshrine Sufu Wangye. Kinmen Hall was originally named “Wu Jiang Guan”. Xu, Le-Shan also contributed the tablet of “Wu Jiang Guan,” which is still hung on the Main Hall today.

As the mainstream of Jhuoshuei River was rapid and strong, it washed out many brooks. With unstable flow, the riverbed was shallow. People could not fetch water from it directly.

He is the guardian of land, so the shrine is also called the West Gate Shrine of the God of Land. Its founding year was not documented. From the plaque hanging in the shrine, we can speculate that this shrine was probably built in the Qianlong Period Qing Dynasty. In the history of Taiwan’s settlement, God of the Land has been a common belief. In the country, God of the Land has been worshiped as the God of Grains and, in the city; God of the Land is seen as the God of Wealth. A saying best describes it, “God of the Land is seen from one end of a field to the other and from one end of the street to the other.” There were four city gates in the old capital of Changhua County- the East Gate (Gate of Farming), West Gate (Gate of Harvest), South Gate (Gate of Peace), and North Gate (Gate of Harmony), and each gate had a shrine for the God of the Land. Unfortunately, in the Japanese Colonial Period, the city gates and walls along with the shrine of the God of the Land were demolished to make way for road expansion. Only the shrine at the Gate of Harvest (West Gate) survived, and it is today’s Temple of West Gate Land Deity. The City Gate Fude Shrines were built in grandeur and highly comparable to the famous Fushe Shrine of the God of the Land in the old capital city of Fengshan County, yet the fine materials, intricate woodcarving and sculptural arts were far superior to the Shrine of Fengshan County. Though there are hundreds of shrines dedicated to the God of the Land, most of them are small in scale. A Fude Shrine of this scale is rarely seen in Taiwan. It was built in a single-tier layout with a worship terrace in front. Though the scale is small compared to other temples, the shrine is designed in elegance. The worship terrace was designed with a four-sided slope roof with ridge ends pointing to the sky.]]>Wed, 15 Nov 2017 16:04:20 GMThttps://tourism.chcg.gov.tw/AttractionsContent.aspx?id=282&chk=4E1761C8-007B-4E48-A453-E22B8E7A7158<![CDATA[In the First Market, you can find almost all the traditional snacks and delicacies in Lukang, including oyster omelet, thick soup duck, crystal dumplings, thick rice noodles soup, shrimp balls, taro balls, meat balls, stir fried shrimp, pork nugget soup, squid, mushrooms and bamboo shoots, Longshan pork nugget soup, pig blood noodles soup, and more.

After the reformation of street district system, Lukang Jieyichang (today’s Township Office) was built to be the highest administrative institution in Lukang. The construction started in April 1st at the 10th year of Emperor Showa (1935) and completed in October 20th at the same year, taking more than 6 months. In the 10th year of Emperor Showa, the Mayor’s dormitory was built next to Lukang Jieyichang to be Lukang Mayor’s residence. In the organization, Lukang was set up one position to be the Mayor. The 1st Street Mayor was Xia-Jiao Qing Chang Hang’s Chen, Huai-Cheng. The 2nd Street Mayor was Japanese Shinjiro Yoshida. After the dormitory was built, Shinjiro Yoshida was the first mayor, who moved into the dormitory. Lukang Mayor’s residence was a Japanese style wood structure. The base was elevated and the footings mostly were made by brick columns or wood columns; those were helpful for ventilation and preventing humid floor and borer’s threats. Externally Lukang Mayor’s residence were covered with weather boards and internally the residence was partitioned by placing woven bamboo in-between mud walls; the overall design showed wood structure’s simple style in Japanese Colonial Period. After Restoration, Lukang Mayor’s residence once was left unused. In a later time, it once was Lukang Township Office’s warehouse. On November 20th, 2002, it was registered to be a historic building.

Shih of Linpu House established Shimeiyu Incense Store at Cenchiang, Jinchiang County, Fujian Province (now Shishi City) in 1774 and it’s over two hundred years. The store was named “Meiyu” (literally “beautiful jade”) because jade was a kind of talisman believed to bring luck and to fend off evil, and “beauty” was considered a symbol of perfection, reflecting his business philosophy of quality first. Mr. K.C. Shih, the second generation of the business, established a branch in Lukang and frequently visited both locations. The third generation Mr. Y.Y. Shih and the fourth generation Mr. Z.X. Shih continued running the business. The fifth generation Mr. Y.C. Shih paid much effort in the Japanese colonial period and purchased No. 862, Cai Shih Tou, Lukang St. (now No. 216, Zhongshan Rd.) to establish a branch. The sixth generation Mr. C.G. Shih put all of his effort into the Shimeiyu business after closing the Zhengxin Agrochemical Plant. The brothers sold the old store (No. 216, Zhongshan Rd.) in order to settle inheritance distribution. Because of large demands of horizontal and coil incense from the United States, the 500-ping land for a new business site was obtained in 1971 since “Qinan incense” gained popularity.

During the Japanese colonial period, a member of the Imperial family arrived by royal train. As the station master repeatedly called out the original name, "Ka Tang Kah," the royal took offense, as it resembled the Japanese word for "low-class passenger" (katoukyaku). After learning it was simply the local name, he ordered it changed to the more elegant "Huatan"—a name that endures to this day. Just outside the station, visitors will find community-run bicycle rentals, ideal for leisurely exploration of the township. Nearby, the Ciaotou Brick Sculpture Park showcases the artistry of brickwork through fine relief brick walls and playful sculptures. At the adjacent Shuen Dar Brick Kiln, visitors can walk through a traditional tunnel kiln to discover the history and modern transformation of the red brick industry.
